A private dining review from eight guests
Natalie Allgyer wrote on Google that her party of eight sat comfortably in the back of the room, and this is her review, verbatim and untrimmed:
We had such a blast tonight! There were eight of us, and we were all super comfy in the back of the room. We were all chatting about the cool and quirky decor. The vibe was just amazing! Most of us went for the smash burger, and it was absolutely delicious! But the California burrito was just as awesome. Even the gluten-free brownie was amazing! The staff was so sweet and helpful too.Natalie Allgyer · Google

Eight guests, one table and a mixed order
Natalie Allgyer described eight guests sitting comfortably at the back, ordering smash burgers, a California burrito and a gluten-free brownie.
That is a party of eight, seated comfortably at the back, with the table split across the menu and nobody compromising. Three dishes in one paragraph, the Smash Burger ($12.00), the California Burrito ($16.00) and the Gluten Free Brownie ($11.00), which is what a group ordering freely actually looks like.

Rated 4.6 on Google. Every quote below is verbatim, nothing trimmed into a better sound bite.
Such a cute little gem of a restaurant! Our server David was so personable and attentive and made great recommendations! We tried the Watermelon Salad (so fresh!), Mac and Cheese (loved the breadcrumbs and creaminess), and the Big J Burger (excellent smashed burger and bun!). Thank you for having us!Elizabeth Manna · Google

Absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for atleast a year now and it has always been a spot that is reliable, great food, and friendly service. Especially Elizabeth, she is lovely, relatable and you can tell she cares and has pride in the business. …Emily Perez · Google
Such a cute place for lunch. Love the vibe. 80s style is my favorite. My Chicken Caesar wrap was delicious. Coffee is strong and so good. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My waitress Mia was very attentive and friendly. …Delia Serrano · Google

Food here is delicious and service was great! The waiter was so nice and explained everything very well. The atmosphere is very fun and inviting — only thing is there is some smoke from the open kitchen. The mac and cheese was one of our favorite— will definitely order again!Alexis Sabbaghian · Google

What the photographs on this page actually show
The event photography further down was shot at 112 Willow Ave at real bookings, not staged for a brochure. The frames show the pink wall of framed photographs, mint-green chairs, floral tablecloths, hanging greenery and chandeliers, and after dark, a mirror ball hanging in the greenery. The people in them are guests at real parties.
The room and backyard are real spaces
The photographs on this page were made at 112 Willow Avenue and show the actual tables, greenery, lighting and party setup.
Between the room with the door and the backyard, one call covers both: tell us the occasion and we will say plainly which space suits it.
The room
Planning your private dining booking
To book the private dining room, call (201) 238-2484 or email antiqueat112@gmail.com with the date, the headcount and the start time.
What the room is for
The room is for occasions that want a door that closes: birthdays with a toast, business lunches where the conversation is the point, showers and team dinners. Weighing the room against a delivered order for a work or family party? Our holiday party catering guide sets the two side by side.
The room is not enormous and we would rather be straight about that than oversell it. Small occasions done properly is the thing it is genuinely good at.
Planning a birthday? Our birthday meal planning guide covers what to put in the first inquiry, how to choose the food and what to send your guests.
The kitchen does not change when you book it: the same scratch kitchen, the same house-made mozzarella, and the same brunch board if a Saturday or Sunday event wants pancakes at two in the afternoon.
How many people it takes
Their own private dining request form takes party sizes in bands: 1–9, 10–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49 and 50+.
Where exactly your number lands depends on layout. A single long table and a set of smaller ones hold very different counts in the same square footage. Call (201) 238-2484 with your headcount and they will tell you what the room does for it, including when the honest answer is the main room or the patio instead.
The occasions the room is set up for
The booking form's own list: birthday party, corporate, wedding, fundraiser and other. Weddings on that list mean rehearsal dinners, receptions and cocktail hours rather than the ceremony itself. The catering side of the business names those three explicitly.
It is a small room and it does small occasions properly. That is a real strength and we would rather say it than oversell the square footage. If the room is not the right fit, the patio and catering are the other two ways to do it.
Building the menu for a group
Two anchors work for almost every group. The Whole Rotisserie Chicken Family Meal ($36.00), local organic chicken, adobo or classic, with rice and beans, is designed to be shared, and needs 45 minutes from noon onward. Steak Frites ($26.00), an 8 oz Vrola hanger steak with roasted garlic and fries, is the plate for a table that wants an occasion.
Start the table on Jumbo Mutz Sticks ($16.00) with fresh marinara and Jumbo Chicken Wings ($18.00). Finish on the Baby Bread Pudding ($12.00) with Tuaca caramel, the single dish guests name most often in our Google reviews.
Old York Wines, from New Jersey, comes by the half bottle and the full, a short list from one producer, which makes choosing for a table considerably easier than a long one.
Booking, and what we need from you
Call (201) 238-2484 or email antiqueat112@gmail.com. Useful to have ready: the date, a headcount you are reasonably confident in, the time it starts, and any dietary requirements in the group.
For a regular table rather than the private room, Resy handles it directly.
Timing a private booking against our week
The dining room runs a split week: two services Monday to Thursday, morning and evening, a straight-through Friday, and one long service each on Saturday and Sunday. An evening booking on a weekday lands in the second service; a daytime one belongs to the morning side or to a weekend. The footer of every page carries the exact hours.
One genuinely unusual option this kitchen can give a private event: the brunch board runs to 4 PM Friday to Sunday, so a Saturday shower or a Sunday birthday in the early afternoon can put pancakes and burgers on the same table instead of forcing lunch on everyone. Call (201) 238-2484 with the date and we will confirm which service it lands in before you send invitations.

Who we work with
We work with Antique Bar & Bakery, Vrola, Old York, Resy and Toast, and we name them because "locally sourced" on its own means nothing.
- Antique Bar & Bakery, our sister restaurant in Hoboken. Uncle Rocco came out of the same kitchen team.
- Vrola. The hanger steak in our Steak Frites comes from them.
- Old York. The New Jersey wine list, sold by the half and full bottle.
- Resy, our reservations run through them.
- Toast. Our card system, and where gift cards are issued.
- Hoboken Terminal. PATH, NJ Transit and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail all meet there, a short trip from our door.
