Accoding to the facebook page, the Park & Sixth Gastropub is now open:

Today is the first day they are open! I randomly ran into the owner outside the restaurant and he let me take a look around and showed me the menu. Really beautiful space and the menu is really tasty looking - high-end comfort food is how he described it. Located directly across from the post office off of montgomery street.

Burger is damn good. Don't love going or $10-$12 for a bar burger, but will be back for this one.

That said, the bun does not work. too hard, the burger is all over the place when you bite.

My wife and i went there for the first time last night and both had the burger, thought it quite excellent, especially the bun. will be back for sure. do they deliver?

Had a little birthday dinner with some girl friends at the new gastropub the other day - really great atmosphere and delicious food and drinks. Honestly everything tasted absolutely delicious and I really liked the portion size. The small plates are "small" but the perfect size to try something but not have a giant full plate of a 1000 calorie meal - the perfect little splurge that leaves you satisfied but not sluggish instead of a man why did I eat pants unbuttoned on the ride home. (but maybe thats just me an my own personal lack of self control)

We tried a few drinks - ruby, jack sparrow and woodford martini (really nice pour on the martini - enough for 2 glasses! not sure if that was a mistake or what but no complaints) and I found them nicely balanced - not sickly sweet (which could be an issue especially for the ruby) nor alcoholic fumes that knock you out in one sip

my one "complaint" would that the tater tots are more like croquettes (and totally delicious) but I was picturing more like a cheesy fries type thing and it definitely wasn't - we ordered them as something to share while waiting on the rest of the girls to show up and it was like 6 individual "tots"

also menu is not the same as what is listed online. There is an additional salad section that had an AMAZING lobster cobb - one of the best lobster dishes I have had in the area. Perfectly cooked lobster meat not stringy or rubbery just really nice with some thick cut pancette or bacon type "bits"

I am REALLY hoping that the grove street location will go back to the sandwich menu all day though.... don't get my wrong the small plate idea is great but sometimes you just want one of those fat juicy subs (and go back to take out at night too please!)

Had the burger at the Park and Sixth Gastropub and share a lot sentiments here. Really good burger. Very high quality beef, which was tender and perfectly seasoned. A little bit on the greasy side, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for a burger. The brie was interesting, but I'd probably just opt for the classic American cheese next time-- brie is just a little too rich and creamy for a burger for my taste. Agree with Abe_Froman about the bun. With a burger this melt-in-your-mouth tender, you need a softer bun. Biting into the burger or cutting it in half leads to it sort of falling apart or sliding off the bun. Overall, a really top notch burger.

I also totally agree with sillyscorp-- "tater tots" is a misnomer. They are potato croquettes. I was sort of expecting Sonic-style crispy tots smothered or stuffed with goat cheese and the other listed toppings. Instead we got potato croquettes, which were decent enough, but not what we ordered or wanted.

Beer selection was also pretty good.

Overall, I think the place nails it on food and atmosphere. I'll definitely be back. I have a feeling it's going to do well.

Jersey City restaurant looks to serve up something delicious with new, bigger space

Jersey City chef and restaurateur Brian Dowling has come a long way since serving cold cut sandwiches and fresh mozzarella on the corner of Park Avenue and Sixth Street in Hoboken.

Dowling, who based the name of his restaurant on where he got his start in 2009, later moved to Jersey City and opened a "Gastropub" version of his franchise just last year.

This week, he will officially move his Grove Street restaurant a few blocks south to 279 Grove, where he will expand the menu and fully take advantage of a space twice the size of his previous location.

"We've become quite popular, but I've found myself having to turn people away on busy nights because of seating capacity. The new restaurant is going to be somewhere between 90 to 100 seats, the other was only 40," said Dowling.

Dowling's newest restaurant will take the place of American-style food eatery The Merchant, which closed its doors in early November.

Was just told it's open today. The space looks great. There's a bourbon bar underneath the stairs as well.

Went there tonight, around 7. Was surprised to get a table right away. Food was good, however, it seemed the service was completely overwhelmed. It took them about 40 - 45 minutes to get the appetizers (party of 2). It took a total of about an hour and a half to get the one entree that we ordered.

During the 40 minutes or so that we were waiting the entree to be brought out, we had empty beer glasses on our table for a good 20 - 25 minutes without even a glimpse from any of the waitresses as we were trying to get their attention.

It wasn't just our table either, they were extremely slow for all of the tables in the back room.

Hopefully its just growing pains and they will get it together.

Any time I have eaten at either of Park and Sixth's location (old Grove spot and the "gastropub"), the table service has been pretty poor. Mostly because it was obvious that the servers were not professional servers, just people who wanted a job.

This was "fine" at the spot on Grove, which was a small quirky kind of cool space ... but when I visited the gastropub, which has more premium prices, that's not very acceptable in my opinion. I also thought the fake brick and overall (kind of cheesy?) decor at the Gastropub was also not appropriate considering the menu prices.

Ate there last night, and the it looks amazing. I love the d?cor, and it's my favorite burger in town.

I used to love the delivery, but it is so hot/cold I think I'm done with it. Noting that I have been a big fan of the sandwiches and wings from the start, 2 of my last 3 experiences have been pretty frustrating.

1) Order took over 2 hours to deliver. I ordered Meatloaf sandwich from the lunch menu, and received a Meatloaf entree from the dinner menu. Not only is this not on the menu for the time I called in the order, but it is $10 more than the sandwich I ordered... and comes with mash, which would be fine if IO did not order fries as well. The fries: were a wet greasy ball of mush. the entree was room temp and congealed. Pretty clear this had been sitting around for most of the 2 hours since I ordered. And I did not get 2 sodas paid for.

2) Not as big a deal, but the sodas are warm and the fries were half or less of the bag that is normally full, or close to it. The Chix parm used to be a nice size on portugues type roll. New thin long roll cuts the size by 1/3rd, and the amount of chix at least in half. The chix was strangely rubbery. Appearance suggested maybe frozen (where they used to be "fresh"?). And the final joke, almost no sauce. Like a hint of red.

Anyway, wish these guys nothing but the best, but the staff attitude that results in the experiences above is troubling. If this is "good enough" for them, I think that says a lot.

Yeah I love this place but delivery is tough. I guess they are too busy and have lots of orders. The taste gap is the largest at this restaurant I think (delivery vs dine in).

When you eat a sandwich/burger in the restaurant, it is a world apart from the soggy mess you receive. The fries in a paper bag is fine, IF it's vented and delivered quickly. However, having the sandwiches wrapped up like a cold hero makes no sense. It should be placed in a paper or foam box with vent slits.

btw, their scallop tacos are nuts.
