Restaurant Review
The Light Horse Tavern is a step up from your local tavern or pub, offering a menu prepared with fresh, daily caught sea food and ingredients.
Located in the Paulus Hook neighborhood, one of the quieter, rustic neighborhoods of Jersey City --- the decor is an attractive display of mahogany, glass and brick with high ceilings, a working fireplace, photos of old Jersey City, and a mezzanine.
This is a popular place with local business workers for a quick lunch. The lunch menu offers a nice variety including soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches and selections from the raw bar.
The dinner menu is more extensive with a decent selection of entrees.
The tavern has a lively bar scene, popular with a middle aged crowd.
During the peak lunch and dinner times, the service can be slow.
During the summer months, The Light Horse Tavern has outdoor sidewalk dining.
They are open seven days/week for lunch and dinner, and for Sunday Brunch.

How Do We Review (analyze) Restaurants?
New Jersey Leisure Guide strives to provide analytic restaurant reviews .
The methodology used is research, analysis driven --- as opposed to that of a single restaurant critic or a viewer comment posting board.
Data is gathered from our viewers e-mail restaurant comments, Internet research, and professional restaurant critics. The data is sorted, (weeding out the obvious biased, "bone to pick", and out of consensus comments), analyzed, and the review is created.
