“If you've been around NYC and vegetarian, you have almost definitely heard of Dirt Candy. It's the epitome of vegetarian fine dining in NYC.I will preface my review by stating that I have not grown up in the fine dining realm; there is probably some level of "appreciation" that I lack. That being said, the food here is great. Presentation, creativity, flavor experience are all on point. However, I couldn't justify the price for the food. I think if you are very curious and want to knock it off your bucket list OR you are someone into fine dining then this is perfect. Otherwise, there are restaurants that I think you get much better bang for your buck for in NYC.”
“I’ve never done a review before, but me and my partner had an amazing time here tonight. Just stopped by to have a couple drinks and a snack before heading home. The server, I’m not sure of his name but he was a server in the front section by the bar Wednesday around 8pm. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine list and knew all the details about the food we were served. The food runner ran thru each item on the food. Just incredible service. The server picked a fantastic wine I wouldn’t usually go for. The atmosphere was fire. Food 10/10. Recently moved to the area and we’ll be regulars now. Couldn’t rate this place higher. Oh and I also want to mention my partner called ahead and didn’t catch the host, but they called her back in like 1 minute and managed to squeeze us in. You’re running a tight ship!”
“Out of this world creative Indian cuisine. The atmosphere is perfect setting for friend, couples, and families. With a diverse bar selection you can find amazing mixed drinks and local brewed beers on tap. From Fermented Dosa to Lamb Chapli Kebab the starters are brilliant. As you make your way to the main courses the Sea Bream Ssam is so tasty, if you’re in the mood go for the seared prawns or maybe even the Mushroom Uttapam. To finish off the night they have a nice selection of desserts like cashew baklava or the ganache cake is amazing with warm chocolate sauce, rose ice cream, and cardamom salt. To top off the experience the staff are warm welcoming and very kind! Come on by, right on 7th Avenue in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn NY!”
“From the moment I walked in the Rolos team impressed me with how accommodating they were with the seating for my older father. The experience continued with a warm welcome from the staff and a delicious brunch. Polenta with eggs were fantastico but don't miss a chance to taste the burger. Will be back for that French toast !”
“Truly the best Mexican food I’ve had in the city so far. I didn’t know what to expect but the meats and flavor profiles were so developed. We had the tacos, bone marrow, Short rib, bass entree, scallops appetizer, and the rice pudding. Meat was juicy and smoked. Scallops were the softest most pure flavor I’ve had in a while and the spice completely opened up my palate. The bass with its accompanied salad was extremely intricate and well thought out to connect the two. Highly HIGHLY recommend Claro. Definitely coming back to explore the mezcal side of the menu.”
“Al Di La is the first restaurant I went to when I first moved to Brooklyn over 7 years ago, and it is every bit as great as it was then, and still one of my favorite spots.”
“The ingredients are high quality but the chef needs to pay more attention in the sushi. If the rice fell off after I pick it up that usually means there’s something wrong.”
“So good! Love to come here every couple of months! I tried the red bean almond croissant the other day and it was delicious :) I always recommend people to come ”
“I loved this place and would definitely visit again! I should not that I had a late dinner here after a day of traveling, so I didn't try as many dishes as I would normally try.Food: I savored the Eggplant and Whey Dip, a symphony of roasted eggplant, crispy onions, cured whey yogurt, and mint oil that danced on my palate with exquisite flavor. The Roasted Cauliflower, adorned with a tantalizing tomato & chili glaze, shallot yogurt, pickled vegetables, and pistachio, offered a delightful journey through contrasting textures and bold flavors. Lastly, the Medjool Date & Lentil rice transported me to the heart of Persia with its aromatic Basmati rice, infused with raisins, lentils, cinnamon, saffron, and crispy onions—a comforting embrace of authentic flavors.Service: The service at the restaurant was top-notch! The staff were so friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and taken care of. It definitely added to the cozy vibe of the place and made our dining experience one to remember!Vibe: The vibe of this place was just perfect – laid-back yet inviting, with a clean and comfortable atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. It had this effortless charm that made it feel like a home away from home. The simplicity of the decor combined with the casual ambiance created a relaxing environment where I could truly unwind and enjoy my meal.I can't wait to get back to New York and try more items at SOFREH!Date of Visit: 15 March 2024”
“The Four Horsemen never disappoints. Sampled many dishes and all were perfectly composed and the quality and flavor was excellent. Superb wine list that is paired well with the staff favorites.”
“Food is legit. I’m Thai and Lao and I’m surprisingly thrilled they have Nam Khao and Kaw Mee. It’s really hard to find good Nam Khao and I rarely rarely see Kaw Mee anywhere. Both are staple Lao dishes and are delicious.”
“Good food but not great food. We've had much more interesting Ethiopian dishes. Our server was not very attentive. Those who purchased cocktails said they were excellent.”
“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??”
“I cannot stress how good of experience this place is. My mom grew up in Brooklyn and I grew up sporadically experiencing Spumoni Gardens and fondly remembered it in my childhood as a place with very good pizza. This past December however, I had an exemplary experience with Spumoni Gardens. My mom and my younger sisters came to see the Christmas lights in Dyker Heights and not only did we experience their phenomenal pizza, we got phenomenal service. I've been here several times in my memory, but this time we were welcomed in out of the cold by the owner who was supervising the restaurant from the dining area and we received warm service from both him and the staff. He told us to come in from the cold outside area we were sitting in because many tables inside were free, and then initiated conversation with us. He then exhibited old-style New York Italian hospitality by offering us an extra pie, ice cream, and drinks for both the adults of the group (my mother and I) and the kids. I have never felt more welcomed in a restaurant than here. The owner and the staff are both top notch. The pizza is genuinely to die for and occupies a fond place in my memory from childhood but is actually that good in adulthood as well. If you are in the neighborhood visit because this place deserves business. It survived covid because of its reputation and I wish many years upon it still. God Bless”
“Scarr's been on my "to try list" for a while and had the chance to try a couple places at the time. Definitely worth it. I had to wait a bit at the old location but it's only because of how tight it was inside.Service was great, cracking jokes with people waiting and even realized he gave me a small slice so he swapped it with a bigger one, that was appreciated !Try a couple slices at the time, it's worth it.”
“Came into this place with high expectations and just about everything lived up to the hype. Unmatchable atmosphere and design. Incredible cocktails, tasty snacks.The only negative was our service. Our server did not have a lot of interest in helping us and her attitude didn't seem to match everything else. The bartenders making the drinks seemed a lot more personable, to the point where I wished we were sitting at the bar being helped by them. Either way, make a reservation and get in here!”
“Order: broccoli, brown butter, buffalo mozzarella, rigatoni, olive oil + pistachio ice creamVerdict: first and foremost, just an awesome waitstaff. Effortless but nice. The pastas are totally fine, but honestly one note. Felt similarly about Lilia so no real change. The gelato was Excellent though. Only thing I'd come back for is the desert.”
“Olmsted had been on my list since I first read about it in Condé Nast Traveler so I was excited for my first venture into Brooklyn as I usually spend time in Manhattan. I was well on my way until I got on the wrong train and realized to my dismay that I was going to be 45 minutes late! I tried calling the restaurant but was directed to email them which further stressed me out because I assumed I would have to make alternate plans.As soon as I entered, I apologized profusely to Michaela and she calmed me down immediately be explaining that even seasoned New Yorkers sometimes get on the wrong train. She did everything she could and secured me a seat at the bar. I was so grateful! As soon as I sat down, Mark, the bartender laughed and joked with me about my experience and soon after I was greeted by my waiter Greg, who was fantastic and by the end of the night, I was just in awe of the hospitality of the entire staff.The ambiance was warm and inviting and the curated playlist with artists ranging from Amy Winehouse to Corrine Bailey Rae and Outkast, created an invigorating and lively atmosphere.For drinks, I started with The Fennel which was really good, but the showstopper was Greg's creation which will soon be featured, "The Cucumber". It was fire and aesthetically pleasing!I like that you have an option for either the a la carte menu or the tasting menu and I chose the tasting menu and added on the pumpkin kouign-amann. The dishes were all delicious except I was not too crazy about the rutabaga tagliatelle.Olmsted is truly a neighborhood gem and not to be overlooked.”
“SERVER AT CAFE ERNESTO'S WHEN I WAS IN MY MID TWENTIES. I STILL DREAM OF THE VAST DESERT MENU PASTA BOLOGNESE AND SPECIALITY ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO DRINKS. THANK YOU AND GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. NANCIE LEE DAVIS-HERRERA PREZA I”
“Very nice experience. The food was superb. The wine list was amazing. The atmosphere was electric. The duck was well worth it. The halibut was very tasty. The salad was interesting amd different.”
“Service was phenomen. Drinks were amazing. The eight course meal was so delicious. Everything that came out was fantastic. The drinks are really cute, I recommend trying the one with bacon in it.”
“A fantastic Mexican/seafood fusion spot!We came here for my husband’s birthday and everything we ordered was divine. We started off with the salsas (you’re going to want to love spicy food if you order this) and got 2 aguachiles (both superb), shrimp tacos (I could have eaten 5 of these), and the whole fish (perfectly cooked, so flavorful and tender).Will definitely be returning soon!Vegetarian options: It’s a heavily seafood based menu so not sure I would recommend for strict vegetarians”
“A great place. The atmosphere is just what you would expect in Williamsburg!The cocktails are excellent, A knock out. Don’t forget the oysters: they are delicious.”
“Probably the only hot dog I’ll eat in NYC. Absolutely delicious. snap, crisp, juice, pop, crackle, YUMMY. They nailed it. And the owners, Jay and Joe, are mad cool. 10/10 ”
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.”
“This is one of my top choices for NYC style slices of pizza. I had the Tarftu and the L’Industrie slices. They were delicious despite the fact I eat them when they got cold. The ingredients was fresh. I like how they put oil on it and they have chili oil available too. They put fresh basil on it also. I am not going to lie it is expensive but it is worth the splurge. I love the unique flavors. Best to come on a Monday night when there are no long lines. Definitely coming back for the Fig and bacon along with the New Yorker slice.”
“It was an amazing experience that I give 5 ⭐️’s The menu was innovative and interesting and I love that the chef guides all the courses that come out of the kitchen. Being sea to table ensures the highest quality food and the technique from chef Daniel shines through in every dish. I will definitely be back!”
“I usually get birria tacos from here and it is SO GOOD! They raised the prices since I last went so that sucks but the food was still delicious! I ordered the tostada and Mulita with consommé.”
“Phenomenal spot! They closed a road right in front of us due to flooding and they were really understandable about it. We were a little bit too late thanks to the enormous detour but we were treated very nicely even though we were late. Wine was phenomenal, service was excellent and food was outstanding!”
“Dunkin' is so awesome. Superb location. Every single thing was very flavorful and I just cannot wait to go back already. Pleasant service and all questions answered with a smile. Can't wait to bring my other friends to Dunkin'.”
