"We were a party of 8 (including 3 small children) so made a reservation,Bistro La Source was so accommodating with setting up table that worked for all. The adults dined on the mussels (Monday special) which are amazing, each diner had their own special choice. The hamburger was also tasty and cooked to perfection.The wine was excellent with a nice selection of cocktails as well. The outstanding service made this a memorable evening and we will be sure to return."

"I'm always wary of going to restaurants on special holidays but I have to say that Bistro La Saurce was still pretty good. We went in the evening and it was obvious that the long day was taking a toll on the waitress but she was still attentive and very nice. The food took only a reasonably longer time to come out. As appetizers we shared incredibly sweet mussels, escargot that were very tender and a very tasty grilled octopus. I had an absolutely delicious duck breast with rye berries. My husband had an excellent Seafood Stew. One of my sons had the Salmon Filet and said it was perfectly done. My other son loved the Fish and Chips. They have a nice wine list. All in all it was a great Mother's Day dinner! Far above my expectation."

"We celebrated my partner's birthday and our 10th Anniversary starting with dinner at Bistro La Source. The food was fantastic - I had the Fried Chicken (OMG) and my partner had the Braised Lamb Shank (enormous and yummy!).
The best part about the whole experience was our server Katrina - she was PHENOMENAL!! She was warm and welcoming, very conversational, made great recommendations, and was what really made the evening complete.
We can't wait to go back!"

"Very pleased with every aspect of bistro la source. I didn't give a 5 because I don't give 5s unless the meal is a bargain. We enjoyed everything. My wife had the duck and it was perfectly prepared. Service was good too, attentive but not annoying. Would definitely go back. Reminded us of being in Europe."

"A quiet bistro with a continental flair and flavor. Eclectic offerings with very good wine and beer pairings.
A great plus is the small parking lot and outside dinning in good weather"

"The food was very good,a solid variety of items are offered. Service was good for Jersey City our waitress was attentive and friendly, though as the room got fuller she was more pressed. It was a bit chilly as the main door as it opens lets a lot of cold air into the place. Bar was full and seemed to have lots of locals hanging out. Very friendly, they have a outdoor space that will be nice in winter and some parking."
