EaterJanuary 7, 2014Kevin and Alex Pemoulie are serving inventive and all-around delicious New American food in Jersey City right now. If you hop on the Path Train, you're guaranteed to be charmed. [Eater 38 Member]
VikkiApril 30, 2015The tasting menu was well worth the cost. It was such a pleasure to not have to spend time picking out what to eat from a menu. When you make reservations tell them any dietary restrictions.
Bin YangOctober 22, 2015Since the menu is seasonal and changes almost daily, nothing to say here except the ingredient pairings are very peculiar and the tastes often mix sweet with savory. All in all incredible.
Matt HealyDecember 7, 2014Wow, this place is legit. I can't tell you what to order because the menu's always changing, but we had a duck sausage gnocchi that I'll be dreaming about for weeks. Everything we had was outstanding.
What's Good HereAugust 14, 2014Order the meaty and tender dorade served on corn, summer peppers, gooseberries, pearl onions, & topped w/ basil. The fish is cooked just right and comes out mouthwatering.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014A regularly changing menu and daily specials ensure unique and seasonally-focused plates from former Momofuku Ko chefs. A spiced Beef Tartare and Spaghetti Nero were the standouts from the meal.- What's Good HereAugust 14, 2014Oysters on the half shell w/ beet cocktail sauce. These were from Barnstable. I prefer our local Blue Points better. Hints of horseradish in the cocktail sauce. Use as a chaser.
Brian SlatteryAugust 24, 2013Phenomenal from beginning to end. The fettuccine with veal sweetbreads and prawns was delicious. The scallops and steak were superb. You don't just eat food here. You experience a meal.- Lori LuoMarch 6, 2015Thirty Acres now solely offers a 5-course, $75 tasting menu. Adjustments can be made for vegetarians, and dishes like the 40-day aged Rib Eye and the Celery Root Cappelletti are superb.
Amazing brunch and outstanding service! We got the kielbasa, cheddar & egg sandwich, fingerling potatoes with sour cream & chives, French toast, and side of bacon. Everything was SO delicious!- What's Good HereAugust 14, 2014Service is very good and attentive. Ask for recommendations from the wine list. They will let you sample if you can't decide between two.
Tara PascaleAugust 24, 2012If you are coming for dinner. Make sure you are here when the restaurant opens at 6pm. The food. Anything and everything on the menu is AMAZING. Marvin will make your dinning experience.- What's Good HereAugust 14, 2014For a flavorful appetizer, try the spicy eggplants with tahini quark sauce, za'atar, pine nuts & parsley.
Celso RezabaSeptember 18, 2012Cool space, church pews for seating, cool crowd. Arctic char was divine. Desserts lemon bar & apple crisp were to-die-for. Just don't order the duck, tough and under-seasoned...
Abby FinkelJanuary 18, 2015Lemon. Bars. They are a must. Hamachi and Pork Neck are also great. But if you didn't have the lemon bar, you did it wrong.- What's Good HereAugust 14, 2014Want something light and sour? Try the dill cucumber pickles (vinegar pickles with dill, mustard seeds and garlic). We ordered 2nds.
- What's Good HereAugust 14, 2014Don't forget to have Kevin's Mom's Lemon Bars for dessert. Nice crust. Lemony, but not too sweet.
Rikin DiwanJune 18, 2014The chilled squid appetizer was delicious and Kevin's moms lemon bar was perfect to split between a group of 6 of us.
David KernAugust 10, 2014Fresh and tasty food. Everything we had was great. Good mix of flavors in every dish
Who needs to the emotional burden of a relationship, when you can have a food-gasm here every night (except Sunday, but twice in Saturday)
Jeff SteinJuly 19, 2012If they have the corned beef special appetizer on the menu when you are there you have to try it! In two words: Life Changing
Tasting TableJune 18, 2012Get the stuffed potato skins; duck-fat-saturated fingerlings with bacon, crème fraîche and chives are born again in their delicious version: Read more
Moses AAugust 31, 2012Must get the baby octopus, arctic char, and poussin. Amazing. Menu changes every 2-3 weeks.
Wally GobetzApril 23, 2013Jersey City's first true destination dining spot. The menu changes regularly so follow your gut...you probably won't be disappointed.
Village VoiceJanuary 25, 2013Thirty Acres (& 50+ other eateries) will be sampling their fare at our 2013 Choice Eats tasting event on 3/19 - can't wait!
Joanna FlammDecember 8, 2014Oh my lord the gnocchi. It's like little tender melt away clouds of delicious.
Virginie Henry-DiseAugust 9, 2014The old bay sautéed potatoes with sour cream and chives are a fantastic side dish
Vineet ShahMarch 25, 2015As of last month, they only offer a $75 p.p. tasting menu, but you can still order small à la carte dishes at the bar.
Isaac MalehAugust 19, 2014Great food but you better like exactly what's on the menu, no subsritutions at all!
val bravermanFebruary 15, 2014Order the spicy tripe to share! Save bread for dipping in the warm soft boiled egg.
4rilla (Neil)May 5, 2013Brunch is impeccable, service was attentive and I'm still thinking about all that I at 24 hours later.
Loved the fluke, nugget potatoes and fried skate. I understand they just opened but wait for food was unbearable. Would not have minded if someone came to check in on us or apologized.
Justin JonssonJanuary 9, 2015Squid ink pastas are NOT a date food. You'll look like a necrophage. You're welcome.
The dijon pickled-red cabbage corn-beef appetizer is insanely good!
The food is fucking phenomenal. Yes... I swore. It's that good.
fluke appetizer is light, refreshing, and tasty with a hit of brine & heat
