Satis Bistro

"On a quiet block in Paulus Hook, Satis Bistro is now serving Mediterranean dishes outdoors starting at 5pm Wednesday to Friday, and 12pm Saturday and Sunday. And since you’re probably not the only one who’s into the idea of eating cacio e pepe and drinking a glass of wine on their patio, head to their website and reserve a table. If you’re looking to have a private party, know that they can also host groups of up to 16 people." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

"Opened in December of 2010, Satis Bistro, is recognized as a 'hidden gem' in the quiet Paulus Hook neighborhood of Downtown Jersey City. This rustic-chic eatery is perfect for any occasion and private events. Satis serves seasonal Modern European fare including artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, fine wines and creative cocktails."

"Satis looks like a converted loft you might find in Brooklyn Heights, but the high-ceilinged, brick-walled bistro is on a quiet street in Paulus Hook. You don’t need to eat here and spend $18 on a small portion of bland cacio e pepe, but keep the attractive space in mind for a glass of wine on a weekend afternoon or during Happy Hour, which is offered everyday from 4-6pm in the bar room next door." - Matt Tervooren
