New American Restaurants near Breezy Point, NY

“Last night I celebrated my Birthday at Kennedy's Restaurant and it was Fabulous time!! I absolutely love this restaurant the atmosphere is so beautiful and elegant I almost felt like I was on a cruise ship * We had a great table by the window overlooking the beach * and I totally felt like I was away on vacation somewhere which put me and my guests in a great celebratory mood. I love the fact that the chairs were very comfortable and cushioned and there were no stairs to use the restroom which was a big plus for my elderly aunt. The food was absolutely delicious we shared the fried calamari platter and scallops risotto for appetizers. The porterhouse veal chop was absolutely divine! We ended the night with a birthday's cake and the live guitarist/vocalist chimed in and sang happy birthday! It was all above and beyond what I could of asked for and me and my guest all had the best time ever! Special thanks to our server Daniel and the Hostess that made us comfortable. Can't wait to go back🥳“

“6 Restaurant provided the perfect birthday dinner.
Led by creative flavour— the textural experience of the prix fixe & wine pairing really stood out.

Our server massively brightened the evening with her thought and care.
Can’t wait to visit the next time I’m in town!“

“This was one of the most pleasant meals I’ve had in a long time. The service was prompt, and everything we ordered was exceptional. While many Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve visited are excellent, this meal stood out, it truly sparked my palate in a way few others have.“

“My boyfriend and I visited Inga's on the Sunday after Valentine's Day and loved every moment of our dinner! We live down in Cobble Hill so the 20 min walk was easy and I loved approaching this beautiful warmly lit corner restaurant on a cold blustery night. I had made the reservation a few week prior and we were greeted and seated almost immediately at a little two top. I remarked on how impressive the acoustics were for an open dining room with intimate tables and was grateful the music wasn't too loud so we could hear each other (though the music I did catch was pretty cool). The mixed vintage decor and antique light features add to the nostalgic impression that you're being hosted in someone's dining room.

We started with cocktails: I ordered the martini and was very happy with it as a perpetual dirty gin martini lover and my boyfriend can't remember what he ordered, but it was also enjoyed. We had the scallop crudo, poached shrimp, and octopus to start, all of which we loved (the shrimp with the green curry aioli was my favorite). And we shared the Guinness short rib with a side of fries--also so good and every texture was on point! Next time we'll try to save room for that chocolate cake I've seen photos of online and to also try out what looks like to be a great wine list. We also want to have lunch at the bar and order the burger!

We left Inga's with a soft snow falling outside and I realized we were on Cranberry Street where Cher's family in Moonstruck is supposed to live. We wandered to the water feeling very lucky to be in love and alive in this amazing city with such amazing food.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great brunch menu, salmon cured in-house and Rose de Provence on tap! Happy and fast service top off a fabulous visit!“

“I booked Dinner Party for my husband’s milestone birthday and hosted 36 friends by reserving the entire restaurant for 2.5 hours. I coordinated with the team from a month in advance, and they were all wonderful to work with. Everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned.

The food was delicious, the space was cozy, and it truly felt like an intimate dinner party at home. The five course tasting menu was served as cocktail style bites and was perfect for the evening. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their other menus.“

“One of the rare bastions of what NYC was and still holding strong by people like Richard. I’m only annoyed I just discovered it in the last year. I was told it’s been ten years since they opened. Get there early and be prepared to wait. Worth the wait. I have yet to have had a bad night and I now try to make it often.“

“Nice place. It is a bit hidden between two other establishments but once you are inside, it is a really cool place.
Staff was very nice, food was good. Security guard on staff too, a plus!
The place is kept very clean.
If you love sports, you only need to pick the TV to watch. If you are not into sports too much, this is a great place to hang with your friends on the boardwalk.“

“If I could give 20 stars I would. Great place to go with friends for top tier food and amazing service. Fantastic tacos, burgers, drinks, and the service is unmatched! Our server, Ellie was awesome, so attentive and helpful! I’m telling everyone about this place!! I can’t wait to come back!“

“I've lived in Bay Ridge all my life and this may be one of the best restaurants in our hood.“

“I recently had the pleasure of stopping by Dilly Dally for brunch and it was one of the best stops I’ve made in a long time. On the immensely popular Vanderbilt Ave., it’s a standout - a remarkable fact since it’s one the newest establishments to grace said Avenue. Its charming exterior is as inviting as the space itself. Vibrant natural lighting, eclectic music, and art laden walls give it the comfort of a home…which (I believe) is key for a neighborhood establishment. My experience was guided perfectly by the kind, warm, and knowledgeable staff. Attracted by their unique components, I went with the savory breakfast burrito (chorizo/crispy potatoes/hatch green chile) followed by the sweet griddled blueberry corn muffin (whipped butter, strawberry preserves). Both prove to be deliciously creative takes on two breakfast/brunch staples. By nailing a couple of classics, I know they’ll nail the rest. With that, I truly look forward to going back to explore the rest of their menu soon (including dinner, of course) and so should you.“

“Enjoyed delectable food in a wonderful atmosphere while supporting an invaluable mission.“

“Great food, great location and great service. Definitely a thumbs-up for this place!“

“Incredible food, friendly staff and proprietor who know their wine list, with a sophisticated yet relaxed space that is perfect whether you are looking for a casual Friday night dinner date or a special occasion. And they are amazing caterers too-got raves for the Otway team’s menu and service at our Christmas party!“

“My girlfriend has been dying to go here since she heard about it (lives in Staten Island lol) and she had an amazing time! Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable/helpful when it came to ordering drinks. Thank you for such a great night and experience!!“

“After the museum, we were a big group for lunch. There was a happy hour menu with drinks and some food options. Tacos were great, spicy and hibiscus margaritas were very good, and those who had sandwiches also really enjoyed. Prices were very fair (cheap even). Service excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food across the board—from the burger to the risotto, you truly can’t go wrong with any dish. We dined at Swoony’s for the first time on the recommendation of dear friends, and the food absolutely delivered. Hats off to the chef.

For starters, I highly recommend the lobster orzo and grilled prawns. As for mains, the burger, hanger steak, and butternut squash risotto were all outstanding. The cocktails were equally delicious.

The ambiance is great, though it does get a bit noisy, and the place was completely full. Service was attentive and seamless throughout. Dare I say I’ve found a new neighborhood favorite? It was that good.“

“Trying to keep this place a hidden gem, because there is too much traffic in the rock already. However! Margie's has one of THE best burgers I have ever had in my entire life and that says a lot because I consider myself a sandwich/burger connoisseur. It's so simple and I believe that's what makes the burger shine. Paired with the atmosphere and the beach town vibes, it's hard for me to go anywhere else when I'm in need of a good burger. The other things I've tried on the menu didn't disappoint but I showed up for a burger and it stole the show for me. My compliments to the chef or recipe creator...whomever.“

“we got the big platter. Definitely more then enough for 2 people. very nice decor and the food was excellent“

“Hart's has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. I arrived right at opening (5:30pm) and was seated at the bar immediately. It's super convenient if you're coming off the A/C. The playlist was great and the vibe was calm and unhurried.

The food is where Hart's really shines. The roast oysters with vermouth butter and horseradish were the standout of the night, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of kick. The savoy cabbage with serrano ham and borlotti beans was homey and comforting. The clam toast with pancetta was deeply savory and something I'd come back for on its own. The seafood rice was the one dish that didn't quite land for me. Not bad, just the least memorable of the bunch.

Highly recommend“

“What an amazing place to have breakfast we both had the big breakfast’s one with waffles and I had the French toast! Utterly delicious and throughly recommend a visit. We are on holiday from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so glad I found this place and we will be back with our children next year.“

“Food and service was excellent reasonably price would recommend“

“Great place! Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere😁👏“

“Great every time. Everything is beyond menu description.“

“Very nice restaurant with amazing entertainment and great food.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“The food was great I went during food week. I had the salmon with garlic mash and broccoli. The meal also came with dessert and an appetizer. You can add a glass of wine for 5 dollars. For the appetizer I had the birria empanada my cousin had the island shrimp I believed it was called. The shrimp👍🏾👍, I wasn't crazy about the empanada. I would definitely revisit this place. Also the run punch definitely punches. Try it out.“

“This was literally our first dinner in country following a trip to Tuscany. We didn’t expect to continue our streak of outstanding food, but we did, it’s that good. Every item ordered was first rate.“

“We chose Arden for a simple NYE dinner and we're pleasantly surprised that it was much more than that. The oysters were mellow, but the bass ceviche with nuclear cham is required as is the polenta. The Coquito was anglacized. I enjoyed the filet with snow crab Oscar, but the Octopus was the stand out (they know their seafood). See you all soon.“

“I love their almond croissants and walnut levain breads that I get at the NYC Greenmarket - I am sorry they will no longer be there after January 22nd, but look forward to visiting their restaurant in Brooklyn soon !“

“As a foodie who is constantly looking for unique high-end kosher experiences, I can confidently say that REN is a top 3 kosher restaurant in the world. From the moment you enter the establishment, you feel a sense of calm and comfort. The lighting, the plants, the music, the temperature of the room - an ambience carefully crafted with you in mind. The staff, beginning with Soso and George, are attentive, professional and courteous. They listen to your questions or comments, answer thoroughly and concisely and are not shy to make recommendations. I have been to REN multiple times with my partner and each time I am blown away. The menu, which evolves each time I visit, is filled with unique, nourishing, mind-blowing food. You can feel Chef Ronen's touch in everything. You can taste the decades of professional, perfectionist, preparation with high-end execution that has come to symbolize this fine establishment. If there ever will be a kosher restaurant that can contend for a Michelin Star - REN will be on that list. When I come to REN, I come to satisfy not a physical, but much more so an artistic, futuristic, classic fusion of fine dining. Come here if you want to be amazed.“

“This was my first time at this spot and I was left thoroughly impressed. They have everything you could want. Pool hall, dance games, great food, a photo booth and more. The happy hour is priced well and food quality is great. I can’t wait to pull up again :)“

“So far I’ve been there a few times, had the vegetarian version of the smash burger (Texas toast), tomato soup with grilled cheese, pancakes, and a few other things I can’t remember. Everything is always great, especially the smash burger.

A lot of vegetarian options and they’re all really good, from what I’ve had so far. I appreciate that. The vibe is cozy too.

I especially love that they allow you to buy one pancake because any more than that is always too much. And the pancake is great.“

“Food was great, atmosphere lovely, service perfect (and friendly!) A great experience I will repeat!“

“Good food & service, very clean, and parking.“

“My first-time here and the customer service is great, the restaurant is clean and the menu has something for everyone. Food was decent but this was also my first time so I would like to try other dishes. The bowl i had needed more sauce because once its gone...no flavor and dry. The street corn was good and my favorite was the sparkling pear juice that I had two orders of.“

“Had an amazing experience! They are so accommodating and friendly! I can’t wait to go back ! Demmoy was amazing and so welcoming! One of the best experiences Iv had!“

“Great breakfast , I got it to go. I placed a call over the phone, they told me 15 min. I waited in my car cause I arrived early, when I walked in, my order was ready to go. Everything was correct and when we ate it the food was great will def be back.“

“We were not rushed and the waitress was very polite and we had to wait for her to free up to request a few things: like ketchup and the calamari was good, not the best and not the worse I ever had. It was a nice dinner. My wife had the black rice and mushroom with an egg. She liked it, again good food.“

“Grateful for this space as it is the nearest cafe with fresh juice/smoothies, patties, and access to a productive atmosphere in the new lots Area. The service is excellent and very well in welcoming folks to independently conduct themselves and enjoy what is being served. I enjoy coming here for a cup of tea while I write or check my email to begin the week.“

“Best burgers in Brooklyn.“

“We miss the old diner but glad it’s open again for American comfort food. We had the beets and artichokes to start that were both simply done but delicious. The limone pasta was the least liked plate. Branzino with beans and steak were also tasty. Their version of Zuni cafe’s chicken was also flavorful. (I ate that chicken at least 1x/month with oysters and a Bloody Mary in SF!) Ultra thin shoestring fries were a hit. If you want bread, ask them for it plain. The toasted one was greasy with oil. Pleasant comforting winter meal. And you get $50 off for $150 on the inKind app if it’s the first time using it.“

“I was there with my colleagues Monday, November 10. We were at the nearby Signal Awards where our podcast received a Bronze prize for our podcast about Italian food, “I Wish I Were a Prosciutto.” We were hungry and looking for something with prosciutto. We had your most delicious pizza with prosciutto and arugula. The crust was Neapolitan perfection and the toppings were bursting with flavor. We were also impressed with the good-as-Nona’s meatballs. The service was outstanding and we appreciated meeting Gloria de la Rosa. You made our special night more special. We live in Connecticut, but we would come back again when we are in Brooklyn, tell our NYC friends about your place, and talk about it on our podcast. We wish you continued success! Thank you so much.“

“My friends and I had a lovely afternoon at The Rockaway Hotel Pool house. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess, Isabella, who made us feel so welcomed. Our beautiful table was in the perfect spot to take in all of what the Rockaway Hotel has to offer. The outside bar and Pool house are exquisite. The pool was bustling with excitement. Our waiter, Andrew, was polite and helpful . I highly recommend coming to The Rockaway Hotel because their staff is highly professional and attentive.“

“Great food excellent service Highly recommend“

“Great neighborhood bar in Boerum Hill. Not to be missed!“

“i order from here often and their food is so good & it’s halal! everything i’ve eaten from here has tasted fresh & well seasoned. They close around 2 am and always add new stuff/combos to the menu. Just picked this up before they closed. They are also very nice & have always had great manners. Me & my dad go here all the time lol“

“I’ve gotten the braised chicken congee both times I’ve been here - consistently delicious! Good mixture of flavors, easy on the stomach and good for digestion. Def recommend!

The banh mi was ok. i didn’t expect it to blow me out of the water because the name of the restaurant is “Maya Congee” 🙂‍↔️“

“Great food great drinks awesome sound.“
