First off, City Bistro is (in normal times) a great drinking spot. The rooftop is always a great time especially in warm weather (although I must admit the TV management could be improved by making sure the best games are playing, but that s a personal issue that I can get over). Id argue it s the best happy hour spot in the city.

I ve been here to eat twice now, first time for dinner on a whim and most recently brunch. I ve been pleasantly surprised both times.

Brunch with a friend this weekend was excellent. He ordered the French toast which was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside thanks to the cornflakes.

I opted for the burger and it was excellent. I like a classic burger and that s exactly what this was. Brioche bun, shredded lettuce, red onion, juicy tomato, melted cheese, and a pickle spear as the proverbial cherry on top. Sweet potato fries were above average too.

We also put down a few mimosas a piece because, well, brunch.

I can confidently say that City Bistro has one of the better burgers in Hoboken.
