Foodie Spotlight: Latham House

September 20, 2018

Let’s be clear: Jersey City has an impressive roster of restaurants. However, few are as reliable as Latham House.

Since our first visit back in the summer of 2016, Latham House has consistently delivered the perfect one-two punch of flavor and ambiance. Huge emphasis on consistency — which is where so many other restaurants stumble.

But that’s not the case at Latham House. Staff are always fast, friendly, and accommodating. Equally important, the restaurant’s Instagram-ready entrees have always tasted as good as they look. Dinner for two can easily reach $100 if you indulge (apps, entrees, bottle of wine, dessert), but it’s a splurge that’s worth it.

Highlighting one favorite dish is near impossible. However, our list of must-try entrees includes the Thai Bouillabaisse, Greek Salad with Shrimp, Vegetable Green Curry, and the generously-sized Asian Chicken Salad. We also recommend trying the seasonal specials — most recently we had the Fettuccinne with Seared Scallops — as many of them have also been excellent dishes.

And don’t ever skip dessert. Ice cream cookies, bread puddings, and a variety of pie slices are all made from scratch and in our opinion are hands-down the best restaurant desserts you’ll find in Jersey City.
