A special GoOutJersey feature: reviews of date places from “Both Sides of the Table…”

Steve: Three A’s might be far back in Hoboken, but once you’re inside, it kind of has a Washington Street feel to it: a fleet of flat-screen TVs hangs for every vantage point in the bar area, jukebox music floods the entire venue and hilarious drunken banter greets you at the door. So Maleka and I decided to check out their restaurant, where most of the seats are separated from the bar area.

Maleka: I think it’s cute that the establishment is named for the owners’ daughters – Amanda, Antonella and another ‘A’ name that I can’t remember.

Steve: Adriana? Alexandra?

Maleka: I was leery of the place initially because the first time I came there for dinner I was nearly burned with a cigarette by a local man who was “visiting” some friends during dinner, (meaning he was not supposed to be there during dinner) and was walking around pretty close to me during his visit.

Steve: Yeah, it is a little snug in there for a Hoboken restaurant, but there are always a lot of people dining. I generally take that to mean the food is good… or the owners have loyal friends. Was it Amber?

A special GoOutJersey feature: reviews of date places from “Both Sides of the Table…”

Steve: Rue du Jardin is a quaint French café located just off the beaten path of Washington Street. It is definitely worth venturing over there for brunch, if for no other reason than to try the specialty crepes. The overly-intimate seating arrangement made it difficult to maneuver, with some of the café regulars working on laptops as they had their midday coffee.

Maleka: It’s a tiny place, and kind of easy to miss, but after reading the menu outside – particularly the list of savory and sweet crepes – I figured we should give it a try.

Steve: I have to admit, I still have a hard time remembering the name of the place, but my lovely girlfriend recently explained to me that it is French for Garden Street, the street the café is on. We’ll see if that helps. Anyway, on to the food.
