During a recent happy hour the bar tender informed me that on Thursday nights martinis and entrees are half price. So I invited my g/f and made the reservation. When the martini arrived I looked at it and said to the waitress “this is not a martini it’s a shooter!!”. Honestly the smallest martini glass I have ever seen. She informed me that because they are half price they are half the size! What kind of bargain is that?
Then we ordered our meal. The appetizer was lettuce wraps with chicken. The lettuce was turning brown and wilted and the stuffing must have been cooked and sitting on the stove for days. Totally inedible. After we ate about 20% of it the waitress came to take it away. I pointed out how bad it looked and tasted. Her reply was “sorry”. My g/f said based on that, she was glad she didn’t order sushi. The lettuce wraps at Houllian’s are much better and cost less.
The entrée of halibut was actually pretty good. Fresh and well prepared, but by that time I had decided it would be my last visit to Teak.
I was surprised when the check came that they didn’t remove the terrible appetizer from the bill. Do yourself a favor and pick one of the good restaurants in Hoboken.
Pros: atmosphere is ok
Cons: food

Never go there on a Friday night. The music is TOO loud and the restaurant seating is quite cramped. I went there with three guests and we were sandwiched next to overbooked tables with little or no elbow room. The music from the upstairs lounge was blairing all night and the lighting was poor. It is certainly not worth the menu prices, which would make you think you are in a classy five-star establishment.
Although the decor and interior design was stunning, we waited over an hour for our food. The steak was bland and rough and tasted like it was not seasoned but just thrown in the microwave. The wine selection was mediocre.
I do NOT recommend this place for dining out.
Pros: interior decor very attractive
Cons: bad lighting, service takes too long

Everything takes forever in this place. It took a long time just to be seated even though we had reservations. On top of that, it was my lovely's bday and we had to sit in this messy corner akongside a bunch of teeny boppers. We ordered wine which took forever to come out, along with the food which was wrong the first time. It is actually pretty expensive for what you are getting. The service is nothing to brag about, and everyone just "hanging out" at the bar and upstairs were corny hoboken yuppies. I had not been here since it first opened a few years ago, and I heard ther food was pretty good, however I was disappointed and relieved when we left. Mediocre at best.
Pros: Good Sushi presentation
Cons: Loud, Uncomfortable

I haven't been to Teak since last winter and promised myself that would be that last time. It was extremely disorganized the last time i had been there and the bartenders were slow as all hell. I decided, against my will, to meet some friends out and that was where they happened to be, and TO MY SURPRISE, i had an amazing time. It wasn't too crowded, I believe because of the festivities that took place during the day in Hoboken, reguardless, the service at the downstairs bar was great and the bartenders had a great attitude all around. Our experience got even better as we moved upstairs to the lounge. The two girls behind the bar were hot, and the dude was funny and entertaining, They seemed to enjoy being there, which made all of the customers want to be there as well. There was some napkin tossing and booty shaking, and my friends and i loved every minute of our time at Teak. We will deff be back soon, if not next weekend, and i guess its deff good to give second, and in this case third chances to a place so beautiful with so much potential. Deff the most beautiful place in Hoboken, looks like they finally got their act together in reference to matching the bartenders with the decor and potential of the restaurant itself.
Pros: The bartenders
Cons: They played a little too much house music, but overall it was good.

Went there yesterday night and will never go again.
We were seating outside. A group of girls, obviously friends with the management-of-some-sort that was hanging around, was sitting next to us, and was being extremely loud and obnoxious. Their waiter got them many rounds of free drinks which got them even louder.
The service was very poor. Slow in taking the order, slow in bringing the food. Had to ask 3 times to get some water refilled.
The food was ok for the monday prices. Good thing everything is half price on mondays, otherwise that would be outrageous price for what we got. My steak was cooked as I asked. Too bad it was chewy. The vegetables were not cooked at all. They were warm, but not cooked.
The wine was disgusting, with pieces of cork at the bottom of the glass (which is ok when the wine comes from an actual bottle. This one probably came from a carton pack). The glass was wet inside out.
We were seating on dirty chairs, and our table was not stable. We asked about it, didn't get an answer. Had to resolve to the old foot-on-the-table-leg trick for the whole dinner.
To top all that, for a party of two, the gratuity was added on the check. Not sure that is legal. Anyway, 20% gratuity was way too much for that service
Pros: The person I was with
Cons: The rest

I went to teak last night for a business meeting and had a great experience. I had missed my train and decided to relocate my meeting from the city to Teak, being the convenience and all. I had heard of Teak and how attractive the decor was, but when I walked in, it exceeded any and all expectations I had previously anticipated of the place. As I approached one of the most beautiful bars I had ever seen, accompanied by the most beautiful bartender I had ever seen, I was sold. We had drinks at the bar, and it was the bartender's first day. She was friendly and funny, in addition to being smoking hot. She looked like she stepped out of a playboy magazine if you ask me. The other two girls were nice to look at as well, which any man knows doesn?t hurt the overall ?dining experience?. My business meeting then ventured to a table, the service was excellent; our waiter was sociable and on the ball with everything we ordered. The food was incredible, and overall, made my business meeting go a lot smoother than I had presumed. I will be back; I think I have a new favorite bar to go to. To whom ever does the hiring, keep up the good work?especially with the female bartenders there!!!!
Pros: Hot bartenders
