Review: Trinity Hoboken – June 2006
7/23/2006:
We only had less than an hour for lunch, so Trinity was on the list next.
Arriving just after 12:00, we had our choice of seating outside. It quickly filled up since it was a perfect day. By 12:30 most of the outdoor seating had been taken.
Looking at the daily specials (and also reminding myself of my total BAN on bacon cheeseburgers), I made a decision to try the grilled chicken with broccoli and rice ($12). Little did I know it was based in a soy / chicken broth base. While rather flavorful, it was very salty. The chicken was prepared well, but my puffiness rating after the meal was 9/10.
My friends ordered the Seared Salmon ($9) and the Caesar Salad ($7).
She raved about the salmon dish. It was served over spinach and accompanied by a roasted tomato and based in a balsamic vinagrette. Perfect, yet not too heavy or over-filling.
The caesar salad was basic, served with shaved parmesan cheese and a giant baked parmesan crouton slab. She enjoyed this next-to-impossible to screw up dish. Seven bucks for a little iceberg lettuce and 1/2 ounce of cheese is a bit of a ripoff really. But enjoyable nonetheless.
Overall, the meal was without problems. We were in and out in 45 minutes, and our server was adequate.
Don’t forget, Trinity is one of the more hopping places in Hoboken these days, and is usually packed on the weekends. If you are planning on checking it out, get there a bit earlier than you normally would, or else you’ll probably not get a spot at the bar.
Enjoy!

In response to oh well okay who said:
Mile Square used to be an OK place to have a meal.
These days it smells like an moldy, beer soaked jock strap in there. I went there (reluctantly) for a drink recently and almost gagged at the smell. I don’t know who took that place over, but it went to be a pretty nice place to a dump in a couple years.
There is no way in hell I would get anything to eat there now.
It’s pretty much a mating bower for all of the awkward Stevens Engineering students. Creepy…

Mile square used to be nice, but now it’s just depressing to even go in it. Dark and drab, stinky, and pretty empty compared to how packed it used to get. Absentee ownership i guess???

I was pleasantly surprised by Trinity’s Sunday brunch when I went a few weeks back. My perception of the place was that it would be overpriced, mediocre food, but I thought it was a solid meal and reasonably priced, plus a great view. I liked the bacon cheeseburger and my dining companion spoke highly of the salmon wrap.

Hey guys, Trinity has a lounge. Is it trendy like NYC lounges or is it more “old-school” furniture?
Also, I plan to be here w/ a date at 9 to 930PM this Fri or Sat after dinner, just to chill and drink. Is that too late to get seats at the lounge area?
Thanks in advance (never been there but have researched online).

I have never had a worse dining experience then when I recently had dinner here on friday night. I brought my fiance and my future inlaws who were in from out of town here hoping to impress them with the view but they were so distracted by the cold entrees and mice/rats (im not sure) that were running around the restaurant they didnt even notice. I felt sorry for our waitress as she was very accomodating and embarassed. She and the busboys tried to make the best of it but it was obvious they have dealt with this problem many times in the past. I asked to speak with the manager and was told he (who is also an owner) was bartending. (?) We waited patiently at our table but he just never came over. My Fiance went up to the bar to get his attention but he was ignored. Instead of waiting any longer and sitting in this disgusting vermon invested restaurant we paid our bill and left. We went down the street to 340 and luckily it was a pleasant experience. If you’re looking for the view AND good food I highly recommend 340 and would discourage anyone from going to trinity.

Wow, I am bummed. I lived in Hoboken for years. I moved out a fee years ago. I really likrd Sheena, her husband Jim, and Trinity. I hope they get a good deal. So sad it’s closing. It’s not the oldest place in Hoboken, but it was one of my goodies : ) Sheena actually inspired me to write a book. I’ve been working on it gradually over the years, and my convo with her was in’04 or ’05.

So is Trinity really closing or not? Weren’t the owners of Trinity responsible for the closing of Oddfellows, too?
