light horse tavern

visiting new york, drive aroundjerseycity to find lunch and noticed how busy this place was. decided to eat lunch out on the patio. service was good, not excellent a little slow getting drinks but then very attentive. ordered the calamari to start, and it was amazing, some of the best calamari i've had, lightly breaded with a great homemade dipping sauce. then ordered the lobster blt for my entree, and all i can say is it was one of the best things i have every eaten, it was amazing! i highly recommend this place for lunch!

fierce76. had brunch here on 01/07/12 with my mother in-law, wife and 2 year old son. went here because we had heard good things about it. let me start with positives - the venue is beautiful and the kinda place you can go to for many different occasions - just a beer, brunch, dinner etc. the food was ok (steak&eggs - worst i have had since arriving in the us 3 months ok - buts thats only because everywhere else i have tried is so much better) and the bloody mary's were the best i have ever tasted. negatives - the service - wow - it felt like we and guests on tables next to us were in an episode of fawlty towers - simply the worst service i have expierenced since coming and some of the worst anywhere i have ever had. how this place gets good write up's i do not know. the only place we have not tipped since coming - it was that bad!, from the manager all the way to the staff. everyone had bad attitudes (they were not understaffed on the day - if anything overstaffed) - how can people serve you this badly when they suppossedly rely on tipping here? spoke to a friend who lives close by to this place about our expierence and is fromjersey- he said that he had been a while ago but would not go back because of the service also - said bad service might have been because we werent frequent patrons and so the mgnt and staff were probably less concerned as opposed to customers who are known. seriously i dont understand how this place has such a good rep. the mgnt and staff all need to be kicked out and people brought in who give a damn.

clearly the best overall dining experience injerseycity. great food, knowledgable service, in a welcoming setting.
