Restaurant Review

The Liberty House restaurant is a destination restaurant for celebrating special occasions, a romantic dining experience, and Sunday brunch without all the formal fine dining amenities. The scenic views of the skylines of Jersey City and Manhattan, (the Freedom Tower) are a major attraction.

Once entering this beautiful restaurant, with an interior of soothing earth tones reflected from the natural stone, woods, and rustic metals, you'll be fascinated by the seven-sided bar with a large raw bar and a sushi station.

Surrounded on three sides by water, most of the tables with a nice view of the marina and Jersey City skyline.

The Liberty House is owned by the husband wife team, Frank and Jeanne Cretella who have built a reputation of creating high end, restaurants in a trendy setting, including the Stone House at Stirling Ridge in Warren, Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station, NJ

The kitchen is committed to using fresh, local farm to table ingredients. Many of these ingredients are sourced from their Dancing Goat Farm, operated by the Stone House Restaurant at Stirling Ridge

The raw bar features a wide assortment of oysters, clams, mussels and crayfish, while the sushi bar provides a view of your sushi being made to order.

The restaurant has an unusual glass-enclosed wine cellar that can be seen from the lobby.

The restaurant is child friendly, and in the summertime, outdoor dining on the terrace is a real treat.

Be forewarned, The Liberty House Restaurant is also a popular banquet house and weddings and other large functions can lend themselves to creating a noisy atmosphere.

Open Thursday to Friday : 5 P.M – 11 P.M
Saturday: 12 P.M – 3 P.M for Brunch, 5 P.M – 11 P.M for Dinner
Sunday: 12 P.M – 3 P.M for Brunch, and 5 P.M – 9 P.M for Dinner
