Mcloone's Pier House - Hoboken, NJ


We were there yesterday for a dinner party of 5.  We had a reservation and upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly.   Our waitress arrived and was very nice, introduced herself and provided dinner & drink menus.  Overall, we agreed that service was good and no complaints at all.

As for decor, this place is really nice and new.  Decor is modern and the ambiance is chic and beautiful.  While we skipped the bar, we walked by it and it looked really cool.  We wish we got there a little earlier to enjoy a drink before dinner, but maybe next time.

Okay, now the food -  

Two people ordered the "Linguini with Attitude" and both thought it was way too salty.   Rating 2/5
My husband got the "Rigatoni Del Mar" which had large chunks of seafood that was cooked perfectly, but way too salty.  I took a bit of his meal and needed half a glass a water to wash down the salt.  Rating 1/5 (if they fix the overvsalting, this could be a star dish)
I got the Ahi Salad - eh.  2/5
Our last guest got French Onion Soup - 4/5 and Calamari Salad - 4/5

Overall Rating
Service 5
Ambiance 5
Food 2.5 , but potential if they can get their chef to use less salt.  And I mean a LOT less salt.

We will give it another chance and try it for lunch next time.
