Front Street Cafe

Front Street never lets down! They have a great menu for both vegans and non vegans. Around the holidays, the atmosphere is so cozy and inviting, and the service is always wonderful. I can’t say enough good things. I got the harvest salad with grilled tofu, and the tofu was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend!

Steak and eggs with arugula salad was decent. They only serve the steak medium done. Skipped on the rice and potatoes with that plate. My daughter’s salmon cake sandwich on the brunch special was really good. They also made the side of fries “loaded” for $3.50 extra which was also really good. The ginger aid was a treat. Wasn’t crazy about the French onion soup. Over all 4 or of 5 stars.

It's sort of like the Urban Outfitters of restaurants: everything looks almost cool and edgy, but it's really just "mid." The interior design stands out, but it's not striking. It's like artificial intelligence read every issue of Architectural Digest and then tried to create something that matched normative trendiness. The beer list is strong, a well curated selection of microbrews (mostly local) that guarantees something for everyone. Reading the menu, you'll think: wow, this place is great. They're killing it on presentation, first-impressions, facade. But then, the food comes, and it's commonplace. Not bad. Nothing to complain about. The burger was pleasant--the raclette and garlic aoli meld into a nice creamy richness that juxtaposes nicely with the juicy-crumble of ground beef. But the pickles didn't really shine through, and the brioche bun was the same as every other brioche bun everywhere. The burger could've used something acidic, sweet & sour like a fancy homemade ketchup, or a caramelized onion jam. The menu says it's a "brisket burger," but it didn't really have melting beef tallow running onto the plate like I'd expect, which suggests it's either precooked, or not brisket. Fries were also lackluster: crispy and salty enough, but no better than the average New Jersey diner. So, it's a standard burger at a luxury price point. We also ordered a steak. Kudos for offering the flat-iron cut, it's highly underrated and I wish more places sold it. They cooked it perfectly, and all the sides were also well-prepared. But nothing was exceptional, nothing stood out. I have barely anything to say about it. It's just a steak, probably USDA Choice, not Prime. Bottom line: there's no reason not to go here if you're looking for a pleasant place to talk with dining companions and eat reasonably good food. On the surface, it seems like a hot foodie paradise, and then once you wade in, the whole experience is tepid. I'd go back, but I wouldn't expect much.

What a great breakfast joint! Our experience went perfectly! The staff, food, and drinks were on point! My wife LOVED the garden salad with the ginger, carrot, and miso salad dressing. So did I, and I'm picky about salad dressings. The fruit cup is a good size with a handful of different kinds of fruit. Our server, Ceara, did an amazing job.

Me and my friends came here for brunch and had a great time. We sat outside and the ambiance is amazing. I got the spicy chicken sandwich, French onion soup, and a pumpkin spice espresso martini. The drink and the soup was amazing and I would order again. But the chicken sandwich was nothing special in my opinion. I also tried some of my friend’s food such as the eggs Benedict and chipotle chicken sandwich and was not a fan. I like that they have vegan and regular options, but the food isn’t classic flavors I’d call it more quirky or healthy vibes. Also a pretty expensive place, but I guess everything in fishtown is expensive.
