I ordered some bao buns to go. They were pretty good but smaller than I expected. There was only one piece of shrimp in the shrimp bao bun but it was okay considering I got the happy hour deal for them. Short rib was the more hefty one in terms of filling I’d say. I was too tipsy so I forgot to take a picture of the buns.
Open since June 2022, this establishment has quickly become a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, located on First Street in Hoboken for brunch. The reservation was easily made via Resy.
Inspired by his owner’s Irish roots, Dear Maud invokes the Irish poet W. B. Yeats, being a contemporary American with subtle hints of Irish and Asian cuisine.
Upon arrival as first-timers outside of the Washington Avenue establishments, my partner, our friend, and I were greeted by the host, who led us to an earth-toned leather booth in back of the bar between the two cozy and casual dining areas with various shades of sage green everywhere one looks.
Their menu offered brunch with a full bar capability for handcrafted cocktails. We decided on the Breakfast Burrito, Steak & eggs, and Avocado Toast.
Every dish was executed flawlessly and was beyond delicious using the freshest ingredients. The price was very reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience thanks to our server, Shane from Sligo. From the moment we sat down, he was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming.
We can recommend it.
Def aiming toward the younger hip crowd of Hoboken but falls shorts of the quality per price when so many amazing Irish and American fusion restaurants in the area.
Ambiance (3/5): The décor is super trendy and the establishment is huge! While the place is great for bigger groups, the music way way too loud to even converse with the people sitting next to you. There’s an area near the bar to hangout and drink. It feels really cool inside. Dark and almost clubby.
Service (5/5): Our server gave us good recommendations and was very attentive to our needs.
Cocktails during happy hour is unbelievable $9 until 7p – I was a fan of their mango passion fruit! And they’re all pretty alcoholic! Love
Food (4/5)
Crispy rice and spicy tuna – my favorite of the apps!
Spicy sausage flatbread – nothing to write home about
Short rib bao bun – I enjoyed this!
Chicken bao – I enjoyed this!
Tostadas – skippable
Hummus – skippable
Short rib fried rice – a little too salty but otherwise good
Steak sandwich – Nicely flavored
The biggest letdown, though, was the service. Our server (a British-looking guy) barely checked on us and didn’t seem to care when we mentioned that the “truffle fries” had zero truffle flavor.
Drinks were solid, I’ll give them that. This place has a lot of potential — beautiful space, good vibe — but they’re definitely not making the most of it right now.
What truly makes this place special is the people. Every single staff member is amazing and treats me and my colleagues with so much care and professionalism—even on the craziest, most crowded nights. Huge shout-out to Jack, who took incredible care of us every time, and to the security team, who were not only professional and attentive but also made us feel so comfortable (bonus points for finding out one of them is from my hometown!)
Everyone who works here is young, yet incredibly professional, which pleasantly surprised me and made the experience even better. Add to that the DJ on Fridays and Saturdays, who played all our favorite songs, and it just elevated the whole night.
Next time I’m in Hoboken, Dear Maud will definitely be my first stop again. Thank you all for taking such great care of us—we’ll absolutely be back!
A great place to grab a cocktail. The interior is trendy and cute. The seating is great. They have a great happy hour with $9 wine and discounted cocktails. I really liked my wine and my friend liked her cocktail. They also had food options for happy hour and daily specials. We got 2 pizzas for $14 and some bao buns. The cacio pepe pizza was cold and hard. The chicken bao buns mostly just had the buns and a ton of cilantro. 3 stars for that reason and we barely saw our server the whole time.
