The new speakeasy Casa De Lobo is making a splash in Jersey City!
March 22, 2023

They Love My Splash Report: There’s a new members only speakeasy restaurant making a splash in Jersey City. My experience was incredible! Casa De Lobo brings a different vibe every night from Thursday to Sunday. They provide premium ingredients for the delectable small and large plates, handcrafted drinks, and amazing service. Be sure to follow the WOLF (literally) as the ambience transforms into a sleek, sexy, and classy atmosphere. The woody esque decor is allows you to escape into a forest like wonderland.

Chef Rudy Straker and Chef Darryl Harmon add the culinary experience to the allure of the chic atmosphere. Be prepared to enter the world of the wolf. From the warm welcome upon entering onto taking in the ambience being sat at your table.

You will feel as if you entered a whole new world. It is definitely the atmosphere for a once in a lifetime moment you want to be present for. I tried Grilled Spanish Octopus for the first time EVER here and it was delicious. I can commend the chefs for introducing such a delicacy to my palette. It was made to perfection with: black ink, shaved red onions, cilantro, and burnt blood orange vinaigrette.

The resident DJ Rock On will have you time traveling with classic hits that will test your vocal skills. You couldn’t tell me I did not sound like Patti Labelle I sang my heart out. From the blends, transitions, and music selection it is sage to say you will feel like the King or Queen of Karaoke.

Every single plate and dessert picture shown below was exquisite. From the portions being generous, excellently plated, and to sum it up in one word “scrumptious.” The staff customer service was very personable matched with high magnetic energy making you feel at ease as this exclusive experience allowed you to live in the NOW! Casa De Lobo is a great place to come to network meet new people, listen to good tunes, and have a great time.
