Dino & Harry’s

Very good blackened salmon. Service was adequate at best

Food: 5 stars for steak (porterhouse 48oz and filet mignon)
Oysters 4 stars
Cocktails: 5 stars
Wine list: 3 stars (short list for steakhouse)
Price: 4 stars (typical steakhouse price but 48oz steak used to be $ 98 for two. Now it’s $ 117 for 3.)
Dessert: 3 stars (lack of variety)
Décor: 4 stars
Service: 4 stars
Their new porterhouse for 2 36oz $ 78 is too thin compared to their old on 48oz. Also, less juicy compared to 48oz. Not happy that Dino changed the old 48 oz for 2 to 3, then raised the price from $ 98 to $ 117. Still very good steak. May need to get the 48oz again next time even if my family don’t finish them.

We had an excellent dining experience here. The staff was very accommodating since it was my fiancé’s birthday and I wanted a birthday dessert for him. Our waitress was very nice and got my drink order just right (vodka club with a splash of cran and two limes.) We split the Hoboken salad and the special crab cake. Both were very good. I got the cauliflower scallops for dinner and he got the T-​Bone for one. I asked him how it was and he said «if we weren’t in public, I would be sucking the meat off of the bone.» If that’s not a great review then I don’t know what is! For dessert we for the Snowboken. Do yourself a favor and order it. It was delicious! Everything about this place made for a high end dining experience from the piano player when you walk in to the furnishings. Will definitely be back!

It’s the food that earns this place the five stars. The steaks are amazing! I got mine black and blue the first time, and it was perfect. The second time I went, I ordered a rare ribeye, and again, it was perfect.
The appetizers are phenomenal too — the bacon is a must-​have.
The service can be brusque on occasion, but it’s worth the minor inconvenience for the delicious food.

I’ve been to Dino and Harry’s before but never put a review into anything. I finally had the chance to come back and I’m glad I did. Just like many other Hoboken restaurants, it’s pretty crowded and noisy. In this place, part of that «noise» comes in the form of live entertainment, which is fun to hear. Our server was excellent and very attentive to the needs of our table. Our table ordered blue point oysters, French onion soup, and Simple Cobb type salad. The oysters were flavorful it but I didn’t think they were fresh enough. The salad was simple but delicious. The French onion soup had a wholelotta cheese so I didn’t take a bite of it. rib eyes and a petite filet mignon for the main entrée. Our sides consisted of creamed spinach, au gratin taters, asparagus, and Mac n Cheese. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was the right size (16oz). For dessert, we ordered the strawberry rhubarb dessert and snow broken (Oreo crumbs ice cream and coconut shavings). Both desserts were delicious! I would come back for the steaks and desserts. However I would recommend sitting away from the kitchen because the noise level in the back by that kitchen door got pretty loud so conversations turned into yelling. Hah! If you drive in, there’s a parking lot a block away (they don’t validate) so save yourself the hunt for a parking spot and hit the lot!

Went to this place on Thursday evening, they had band playing and owner Dino was really nice. Food is great, atmosphere and stuff outstanding Best Hoboken Steak House !!! And They have my favorite bottle of Wine Chappellet!

It’s not perfect, but, the steak is, and that’s what earns the five stars. We share the porterhouse, cooked medium rare. Delicious. Also recommend the apple-​wood smoked bacon. AND THE LAMB CHOPS! Best lamb I’ve had outside of Australia. Don’t bother with the desserts.

Very delayed review but my wife and I took our son for his 14^th birthday to D&H and this carnivore loved it… very happy with everything.

Love it here. Classy & old school with great steak, music, and more.

For the price this is the best steak hands down! The thick cut bacon is amazing great atmosphere love this place

I wasn’t that impressed the house steak sauce wasn’t good. Staff and owner were very nice

I came to Dino and Harry’s for restaurant week on a Monday night. My expectations were not high, being that it was restaurant week but i was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food presented. As an app i ordered the apple-​wood smoked bacon!!! IT WAS SOOO GOOD! I highly recommend it. As for my main course I ordered a 14 oz Sterlion Steak-​medium well. I must say that it was just amazing! (It should be noted that the wait time from order to getting the food was about 15 minutes.)They cooked it exactly how i wanted it and the flavor was great! The service was good but could be better. I think this was because this place was somewhat busy. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for great steak!
I would rate Dino & Harry’s as follows: Price is 4 Stars, Steak is 5 Stars, Atmosphere is 5 Stars and Service is 4 Stars.
The views expressed are of my own and are my true personal experience at this establishment. My personal experience may not reflect this actual establishment, their quality or someone else’s experience at the establishment.

When in Hoboken this is our «go to» restaurant for steaks and pasta.
Great service and great ambiance… also generous drinks!!!

Tl;dr– The only thing holding this restaurant back is the extremely high prices of their food. If this place wasn’t so expensive I would visit again in the future, but I will not because I am not upper-​class even though I have a decent job this place is too expensive.
We had an 8 o’clock reservation and were seated immediately which was good. The service was pretty good our waiter was not invasive and waited on our cues for when we were ready to order. It was actually pretty nice considering normally at restaurants a waiter or waitress’s tends to hover because they want to provide you with their availability. Our waitress was actually really good.
The interior was lit well enough to be able to read the menus and it was dark enough to provide that warm setting it is going for. It’s actually really nice and decorated well. The tables are spaced well enough apart so it does not feel cramped. The restaurant is not that big. Because it is not that big it can get pretty loud since the bar area is front and center.
I had the fillet mignon medium rare. It came out to order which is good. Your meal will not come with any sides as you must order them as extra. Meal was good. it came served with diced mushrooms on top. The side (extra) I ordered I got brussels sprouts. They were good.
Before I begin to discuss the matter of the pricing, you will notice I’ve given this review three stars. If the prices were better this would be a four star review. The restaurant is priced as an upscale restaurant and as a matter fact is more expensive then many restaurants in New York City that I have been too. My filet mignon was $ 51 and the Side of brussels sprouts was $ 10 which means that my dish was $ 61. My girlfriend got the petite fillet mignon which is 6 ounces and it was $ 41.
We split the brussels sprouts and probably should have got one more side because there wasn’t enough food. This is mainly since the filet mignon is a smaller steak which I fully understand, though sides should come with the meal. Wine by the glass was a bit pricey at $ 11 glass cheapest.
Our bill including tip was 158.

Soccer Dad’s night out is always a steakhouse! Decided on this as the Pope was going to be in town that day. Great choice — good location, very old school atmosphere. Smoked Bacon and Calamari as appetizers — the bacon was very good. I had the Rib Eye med-​rare and it’s better than Old Homestead, it was perfect (at $ 52, it better be). Mashed and asparagus as sides and it’s a perfect steak dinner. Service was friendly and professional.

To some this place might be nice, but I urge you to try ANY steakhouse in the city to understand how short this place falls from a service perspective. Unfortunately this place is trying to be a Manhattan steakhouse, so it’s going to get reviewed like one…
I was hoping for good things based on some other reviews, but sorely disappointed. This place makes a killing taking advantage of New Jersey people that haven’t travelled across the river. Instead they are presented with service comparable to IHOP with prices that arguably beat Manhattan.
It started on the wrong end with attitude and waiting 45 minutes to get a table we reserved. Good thing this place is basically an Irish pub that serves steak, so we had some Manhattan priced drinks getting nudged by server traffic every 30 seconds. We tried to stay patient because this is supposedly THE place to go for steak in Hoboken.
We were just about to give up and we finally got seated. On a positive note, our server was very friendly and helpful. But when I’m spending $ 150 per person on a meal, I expect service to match. There was our server and maybe one bus person for the whole place. We spent a lot of time with empty drinks and finished plates sitting in front of us. They didn’t even refresh bread plates with appetizer plates, so I got to enjoy some bacon dipped in olive oil and bread crumbs. Then came the main course… Most steakhouses when serving steak for two will take the initiative to serve the first portion, not this place. Here’s a knife, go… here’s some sides, go…
The food, overall, was just okay. The steaks were not the best cuts, but they were cooked as ordered. The sides were much smaller than usual places in the category. We were unable to get much more than a tablespoon serving to each of the 4 people at the table.
I’ll give this place 2 stars for a friendly server, but I won’t be going back again.

If I was rating Dino & Harry’s on the food alone, it would easily be a 5 star experience. Unfortunately, dining is about more than just the food, so the service plays a big part in my rating.
Dino & Harry’s was on my boyfriend’s «must try» list of Hoboken places, so we headed there for his birthday on a Saturday night. Because we had other plans that night with friends, we went for an early dinner (around 5:15). When we arrived, the restaurant was basically empty, yet we were still seated pretty far back. This wouldn’t have been an issue as we were dressed in a dressy casual way, so could see why we weren’t front and center.
The service was chilly at best, and extremely rushed. Within a second of being seated, we were asked about drinks and our server seemed annoyed when I said that we hadn’t looked at the menu yet. She was back minutes later, so we made a rushed wine decision, though our instincts were right because the wine was delicious. As soon as drinks were delivered, our waitress was back to take appetizer orders (the applewood smoked bacon for BF, Caesar salad for me).
Appetizers arrived quickly. The bacon is absolutely beautiful to look at, and my boyfriend said it was incredible. The pieces are cut thick, and again according to him, are perfectly cooked. My salad was also very good — Caesar salad can sometimes taste too fishy or overdressed, but this was great. I ordered the Chilean sea bass for dinner and boyfriend ordered the filet mignon.
Again, entrees arrived very quickly. The sea bass was lovely, cooked perfectly and was a great portion size. The filet was as a filet should be — cooked beautifully, which is what a steakhouse is all about.
This place, as to be expected, is NOT accommodating to vegetarians, but again, it’s a steakhouse so that should be assumed. Pescetarians can enjoy a variety of seafood dishes.
Like I said, the food at Dino & Harry’s would give the place a five star, and that may be what some are looking for, and that alone. I would not return there because for $ 150+ for two, I’d also like good service, which I do not think is not asking for too much.
For arriving at 5:15, we were finished with wine, appetizers, and dinner by 6 pm, so not even an hour later. The experience was much too rushed for me, and not the caliber that I would expect from somewhere with such a great reputation in Hoboken.

With Capital Grille, Ruth’s Chris, and Morton’s popping up in seemingly every mall parking lot, I embraced frequenting a local establishment for a friend’s recent birthday dinner. The vibe at Dino and Harry’s is spot on classic steakhouse with a mahogany, mirror, and glass bar, vintage tile floors, warmly painted walls and low lighting. The room was bustling on a Friday at 8:30, packed with rosy faced men in button downs on their second (or third) happy hour cocktails.
We were seated at a table in the bar area by the front window, the hostess explaining that it was more fun there as a musician was about to begin his set. My take is we were markedly younger than other patrons and she thought we wouldn’t be as bothered by the noise. It was too loud and the music, heavy on Ben Folds Five and Coldplay did not fit the environment.
Of the appetizers, the thick cut applewood smoked bacon was a hit. Flavorless with unseasoned batter, the calamari was not. All of the sides, lyonnaise potatoes, macaroni and cheese, sautéed spinach, and Brussel sprouts, were delicious.
Everyone in our party ordered filet. Though boring, this coincidence offered an opportunity to gauge the kitchen’s skill in cooking meat to temp. We had 2 medium rare, a medium, and a medium well. I was happy to see that my medium rare filet had a hard sear outside and was warm and red in the center. All of the temperatures were perfect.
When it came time for dessert, the waiter, who was notably absent after taking our orders, apologized and offered us a complimentary round of drinks, a highly appreciated gesture. The desserts were unremarkable, easily the worst part of the meal. But I enjoyed my serving of port and my friends loved their beautifully presented coffees with Bailey’s. While D&H doesn’t match the very best spots, it delivers a great steak without having to venture to the city.

Service and food was unbelievable.
Made reservations for Valentine’s Day and couldn’t be happier with the choice I made.
Didn’t feel too crowded although you know they were busy.
Never felt rushed at all. Drinks always filled up.
Portions were amazing. Steak was really steak they were huge. I had the porterhouse and wifey had ribeye. Unbelievable flavor and cooked to perfection.
The food was still just as good the next day after warming it back up from being in the fridge.
Definitely would come back and definitely recommend the French onion soup, ribeye, and the porterhouse.

This place is amazing. We got a Caesar salad and French onion soup and then we split the porterhouse steak for 2 with a side of sauteed spinach. The soup was the best French onion I have ever had. It was delicious. The salad was good but you could really taste the anchovies in the dressing. I’m sure most people like that and that’s probably how real Caesar salads are supposed to taste but I wasn’t a huge fan. The steak was insanely good though. It was cooked perfectly and the outside had this crispy crust on it that we couldn’t stop talking about. We were so full but we ate the whole thing because we couldn’t stop. The spinach was really good too. I’ve been here 3 times and have never been disappointed with a meal. It’s really expensive but it’s worth it when you want a good steak once in a while.
