Monroe's - Hoboken

My friends I went to Vanity at Monroe's for their omakase experience. The ambience is intimate and beautiful. Perfect for a date or a dinner with close friends. Cocktails were picture perfect and strong. The food was a sushi lovers dream (Aka if you're not into raw fish not a place for you). Food was prepared table side and was pleasantly presented. The staff was attentive and lively. A special thank you to the beverage director, Melanie, who made the experience extra enjoyable and exclusive.

Monroe's is a trendy spot for speakeasy style drink lovers and sushi lovers alike. Grab a perfectly mixed Monroe's old fashioned with potstickers, and a uniquely named sushi roll or even pasta before walking to the pier one street over on a hot day. With an eclectic menu you're bound to find something for any foodie mood you're in. The drinks are very well balanced with good ingredients. Definitely get the Look What You've Done sushi roll if you like salmon. Really good. Bathroom downstairs was clean and had a cool 40s theme like the rest of the restaurant.

I have only had sushi take outs from this place but have to say it's one of the best and freshest sushi I've had in the area! Their edamame is also AMAZING!

Leaves a lot to be desired. Strangely themed restaurant, waitstaff that does not seem like they are trained well or particularly professional.We ordered extra dirty martinis, they brought them without the olive garnishes. I would consider plain (not blu cheese stuffed, mind you) skewered olives to be a basic and standard component of a dirty martini. When we asked to have olive garnishes, they charged my table a dollar extra per drink to include. It’s like they made a drink poorly on purpose then charged me extra to make it properly. Didn’t appreciate.

A solid 4 stars!! The location is easy to get to. We were able to find street parking nearby (for non Hoboken natives). The vibe for the main dining room is cute Marilyn Monroe themed. We came for Sunday brunch which was good: wings, avocado toast, cheese sticks and of course Mimosas. The prices were great. Our server was awesome and we def enjoyed trivia with Lydia Vengeance. Missing one star only because the food was okay/good. I'd def return. Also, we must've come on a good day no issues with wait time.
