“Came for brunch and absolutely loved it!! Was so fun to show my parents (visiting from Tokyo) this innovative take on Japanese food :) particularly enjoyed the fresh salads and the miso pancake. The restaurant itself is so beautifully decorated and made for the perfect morning meal ~”
“Bar Mario has been on our list for a while. Glad we got to step in. The staff were super warm and welcoming, especially Natalie!! We sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with her along with some of the specials and recommendations for the night. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, so delicious and comforting. Highly recommend the lasagna. A lovely spot, so happy we finally got to try. Will be back soon!”
“After having brunch here I will definitely be back for their dinner service.
Definitely worth checking out. Tried the biscuits & gravy, full 2.0, pancakes all were solid renditions of the traditional meal with a twist.
Callout - The French press is a full French press not just a personal sized one”

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing”
“Really delicious dishes and lovely ambience. New York has become oversaturated with mediocre omakase, but the quality here is wonderful, especially for the reasonable price.”
“We had a nice time, and the food was good. We were however told to leave as there was another reservation waiting (we were hence offered a drink at the bar which never came), and the doorman got angry at us for opening the door in the wrong way.
So would have been perfect if not for those two departure hick ups sadly.”

“Cremini’s is my favorite (and in my opinion, the best) Italian restaurant in New York. The whole experience feels like you’re eating at someone’s house - the interior is cozy and the couple that owns it work as the server/bartender and the chef. The pasta is second to none. Pictured is the amatriciana spaghetti, the cacio e Pepe, the pesto gnocchi, and the limone e menta spaghetti. I’ve tried almost every other pasta on the menu and they are all delicious - the only problem you’ll have here is how hard it is to decide what to order!
Finally, if you don’t end your meal with the olive oil cake, you are making the biggest mistake of your life. It is out of this world good. The best I’ve ever had. And I know I keep saying that - but there’s just no other way to describe it without underselling it.
This place is so good it deserves to have a line out the door every night but I’m selfishly glad it doesn’t.”
“You get proper portions without premium pricing. Butcher Grill House boasts elegant surroundings. I've tested several menu items and found decent quality. Workers are pleasant and solution-oriented. I appreciate their consistency and recommend them.”
“Just went to Mirror in the Woods for the second time since moving to the neighborhood, and it didn’t disappoint. The space is intimate and cozy, perfect for cold weather, with an excellent selection of fresh teas. The matcha white hot chocolate was outstanding, and we loved the tofu and mushroom entrée along with the avocado mochi bites. Beautiful presentation all around — truly 10/10. Already looking forward to our next visit.”
“A wonderful place, very clean, wonderful staff, very polite people!
The food was excellent, I ate there more than once, I fell in love with the backyard.”
“Food and service was really good!!!However, the music playlist was a strange choice. For example an acoustic version of Timber by Kesha may not be the go-to option. Smooth jazz would’ve added to the ambience:)”
“Awesome atmosphere..great drinks. delious food. Bella our waitress was sweet polite and very attentive. I recommend this spot for a good time.”
“I had such a great experience today and wanted to take a moment to compliment the staff. Everyone is wonderful, welcoming, and consistent with great service.
A special shout-out to Keyonna, who made fabulous smoothies for my sister and me, they tasted absolutely amazing. Beyond that, her patience, vibrance, and genuinely positive energy really stood out and made the experience even better.
Truly a great team all around. Thank you so much, and we’ll definitely be back as usual!”
“EVERYTHING SPREAD THE WORD THIS PLACE IS ALL 10s Food fresh Great atmosphere Friendly staff Cozy Food OFF THE HOOK yummy Nice cocktails and selection of top shelf GET HERE AND TREAT YOURSELF”
“Came here for a special occasion and the staff treated us like VIPs, withs lovely handwritten table card and complimentary drink to start with. Food and wine list equally sublime, looking forward to coming back!”
“Oxomoco nails the balance: high-quality, adventurous Mexican food in a relaxed but stylish setting, topped off with great service and a bathroom that might just become the highlight of your day. Whether you’re there for a special day or just a fun trip with friends, this place delivers — and then surprises you, in the best way.”

“It was my first time here and it was a lot of fun. The food and drinks were good. Joe was our instructor and he made it easy and stress free. With his moral support I did a lot better. I will definitely be returning.”

“Such a great spot! Not just because of the quality masa, delicious fillings, and casual atmosphere, but they also carry great agave spirits (I had some Amatiteña blanco during my last visit, and even the price point was... *Drum roll ... On point (Thank you! I'll let myself out).”
“A cozy and busy place on a cold Wednesday night. The service was good but not super attentive—we had to get the waiter’s attention a few time to refill our glasses. But the main reason why we came were the vey positive food reviews. The appetizers (burrata, oxtail) were indeed amazing but my Saltimbocca was very disappointing: dry meat, barely any sage, reheated potatoes.”
“We had a nice time, and the food was good. We were however told to leave as there was another reservation waiting (we were hence offered a drink at the bar which never came), and the doorman got angry at us for opening the door in the wrong way.
So would have been perfect if not for those two departure hick ups sadly.”
“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!”
“interior was. ute, service was great and the food was amazing. they actually live up to the hype and it has now easily become a fave restaurant of mine! the mackerel toast was top tier and that’s coming from someone that doesn’t eat mackerel like that.
we also enjoyed the black miso cod a lot. it was very soft and had a nice smokey flavor when you’re taking a bite. highly recommend ordering it.
the hiramasa was also a favorite. the flavor profile was 10/10 but i wish they gave more slices of fish cause 4 pieces feels like JAIL. minimum should be 6 imo
we got the chicken and their striped bass special as well and while those are good i think they’re not MUST orders though still very delicious. my top 3 would be mackerel toast, hiramasa and the black cod”

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!”
“A warm welcoming place offering French Creole cuisine from Reunion island. A compact menu offering very reasonably priced apps and mains, and a lot of lentil and rice. Ordered the sampler though a few items we wanted were out. Tender coconut shrimp and beef Bourguignon entrees were excellent. We were well taken care of by the staff.”
“RAAAAAH this place is a Brooklyn best. Flavorful Ethiopian food with a few twists here and there. The Kitfo plate is our go-to entree pretty much every time. We also consistently get the Lentil Sambusas which come with a fiery hot sauce. If you want something more classic, they have two sandwich options. A Lentil based burger or a Lion’s Mane Chicken sandwich. Both are really good and come with fantastically seasoned fries. If you go for brunch they’ve got a handful of awesome breakfast items like an SEC, Breakfast burritos, and even a vegan vanilla ice cream infused French toast which is a MUST. Head to Ras for the vibes. Updated from previous review on 2026-02-05”
“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.”

“One of My Favorite Cafés
This place has such a great vibe—cozy, relaxed, and always welcoming. The baristas and staff are super friendly, and even the other customers make it feel like a little community. I stop by most mornings for my espresso, and it never disappoints. There are a bunch of cafés nearby, but the coffee here really stands out. Easily one of the best in the area!”
“EVERYTHING……they are very professional and an expert in their field of work. I’ve been going to LGVB for years and they have NEVER disappointed me or my family. Anything you want they got it and make sure your vision is reflected thru whatever product you purchase. Betsy and Roy are the best along with their entire staff.”
“We just LOVE Campania for their pizza & salads but they have many other wonderful dishes as well. Fortunately & Unfortunately, they were extremely busy so there was a wait, even though we had a reservation, but it's always worth waiting for the food there. I'd like to specifically mention our waitress Angelina, who was just lovely, sweet accommodating and all in all excellent. She made our dining experience that much better. We always look forward to going back to Campania.”
“I was driving around the Brooklyn neighborhood looking for a really good shoe shop and believe it or not they can be really hard to find however, I was extremely elated when I found imperial grocery. The fruits offered the service and the atmosphere was exactly what I needed something to remind me of my Caribbean upbringing And nourish my body spirit and soul with familiar fruits and vegetables that I enjoy I would highly recommend.”
“If you are looking for the perfect Brooklyn brunch, look no further. The food at 7th Ave Diner is consistently incredible, but what really makes this place special is the service—specifically Luisa. She is a absolute rockstar! She’s attentive, warm, and makes sure you’re taken care of from the moment you sit down.
The Highlights:
• The Omelet: Perfectly fluffy, generous with the fillings, and not greasy at all. It’s exactly what a diner omelet should be.
• Eggs Benedict: The poached eggs were spot on, and the hollandaise was rich and velvety.
• The Pancakes: Do not skip these. They are massive, airy and golden-brown crisp on the edges.
Between the delicious comfort food and Luisa’s amazing hospitality, this has easily become my go-to spot. I’ll be back every week.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
525 Deli is a gem in Brooklyn! Open 24 hours, it’s always clean and well-maintained, which is so refreshing for a late-night spot. The staff is super friendly, making you feel welcome no matter what time you come in. The food is amazing — from fresh deli sandwiches to hot bites, everything is on point. Plus, they offer beer, liquor, and a wide range of snacks, making it a one-stop shop for whatever you need. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!”
“We had our wedding cake made by Nikki, black sesame yuzu and it was absolutely incredible. We loved it! She showed up right on time, worked seamlessly with our vendor, and delivered a cake that was both delicious and beautifully decorated. Truly couldn’t have asked for better service. Nikki is super busy, so just send her an email she’ll get back to you in a couple of days. Totally worth the wait!”
“Absolutely phenomenal dining experience from the ambiance, to the food, to the service. Masterfully executed Sichuan dishes with an elevated presentation. Already booked my next reservation.”

“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!”
“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙”
“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.”

“This place really lived up to the hype - all the food was fantastic esp the ricotta crostina, meatballs, rigatoni, and the rice balls, but everything was above average. Additionally service was great, and very lively fun atmosphere, plus it was really warm given how cold its been recently. All and all i think its a great place to take a group of 8 or more for reasonably priced italian food that has above average taste. I will definitely be back.”

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!”

“The duck shio soba was very tasty. The broth was rich yet not too thick. The buckwheat sprouts add a great texture. Duck was a bit chewy though.
The black truffle curry soba was moderately spicy. The truffle really enhances the curry flavor and the sprouts as a great texture. The broth is rich, thick, and oily. Duck was a bit chewy though.”
“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.”
“simply the best. The food and drinks are perfect every time. Whether you’re ready for a full meal or just some drinks and snacks Bar Madonna always hits the spot. Plus the staff are not only super attentive but also drinks experts that can make you just about any cocktail you’re craving. Definitely a crowd (or date!) pleaser, highly recommend”
“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.”
“Really great sushi and great atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and it felt like having a meal with friends. The pieces you know will be great (toro, wagyu, etc.) were great but they also had the best scallop I’ve ever had with delicious black garlic. I’ll be back.”
“This dinner was fantastic.
We took the chef menu - there was not a single dish that I didn’t like.
Usually don’t eat mussels - but they converted me
The seared foie gras was above the top
The ribs incredible
Shrimp mamamia
Cauliflower fantastic
I will definitely come back”

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!”
“So so so delicious. Ordered the 16 oz, the chicken and a few sides and apps. Everything was *chefs kiss*. The steak was cooked impeccably. But I can’t get over how good the chicken was cooked and the flavor profile of the dish. Yes yes I know it’s a steakhouse but I cannot stop thinking about that chicken!!!!!”
“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.”
“Came here on 10/17/25, service was amazing, dishes were to die for and drinks were amazing. Everything is so good and I definitely recommend coming here. If you come here please try the meringue angel foodcake, trout and cotton candy drink. FYI: THE WHOLE COURSE TAKES 2 TO 3 HOURS SO BE READY TO WAIT. In general though this restaurant is amazing! 🔥👌🔥”
“Restaurant Yuu is where Japanese omakase meets French cuisine in the most thoughtful and refined way. This was truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience — every course felt intentional, balanced, and beautifully executed.
Chef Yuu is an artist. The precision, creativity, and harmony of flavors were on another level. What made the evening even more special was the unique collaboration with a chef from Edinbane Lodge from the Isle of Skye in Scotland — such a rare and inspired partnership that added depth and character to the experience.
We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary here, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place for such a meaningful night. The atmosphere, the storytelling through food, and the overall care put into the experience made it unforgettable.
A truly exceptional restaurant.”
“Incredible vibe. Unique vinyl selection, amazing food, and a host who has mastered the art of the evening. It feels like dining at the house of someone with impeccable taste in both spice and sound. The speakers are the absolute star of the room—crisp, warm, and perfectly tuned to the space. 10/10, would move in if I could.”
“If you rated this place low, you a hater. Like first off, they make you wash your hands before you even step foot in their establishment, so you already know what time it is. They don’t play about hygiene. Plus you have to take your shoes off. Love it, real method of them. The floor is immaculate too. Alright, so you made it in, the sushi chef’s are LOCKED IN. They got the sets READY. The way the platter looks is immaculate. It’s beautiful. You already wanna snap a photo and flex on your friends like yeah, this the life I really live. Then they got an array of seasonings from around the world that you can pair with any piece of fish, like how fun. That is so creative, so fun, so interactive. Like how big brained is that? Plus every time I’ve been here, the servers are so kind & soft spoken. They explain everything so thoroughly and their lil’ uniforms are so cute. I need to make a reservation soon, I usually feel extra bad & boujee this time of year.”

“I've picked up a quick lunch and also end of day 'too good to go' meals several times over the past 6-9 months and the service is always friendly and the food fresh and delicious and always reasonably priced. I love to get 5 mini pies, assorted fillings and toppings and if you're throwing a little party or gathering, you can't go wrong with a dozen of these, warmed and cut into 3-4 pieces, it's the nicest easiest appetizer ever.”
“My beautiful Grand daughter studied for the GMAT there. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich. The bathroom was nice I washed my hands. My beautiful grand daughter took a shot of whiskey then rode a bus LOL anyhoo great time in Brooklyn for all it was also Halloween and this fun loving grandma dressed as a cat. Then I chased my husband Roger around for some fun LOL I recommend coming here during the day esp sundays very nice reminds me of Ireland and I have ancestors there”
“Lots of board games, events all the time and very price efficient memberships for regulars. The two private rooms have their own temperature regulation for different preferences and going solo is an option because there’s usually staff open to playing with you, though I highly suggest bringing friends. I like their drinks :)”
“My server Was Lola, who was a delightful person and truly made my Habana experience wonderful and i will be coming back for more! Great suggestions regarding the menu and all around charismatic individual. SHE DESERVES EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH! I noticed her ability to multi-task, and was truly in awe! Thank you habana !!”
“We dropped by Ace's Pizza around 3pm., Brooklyn, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 5th Ave NYC and it was such a great experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating—amazing service all around. We ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Caesar Salad, and a 14-inch Pepperoni Pizza. Every single item was delicious! The quality of the food was outstanding. The pepperoni pizza especially stood out—crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. We really enjoyed everything we ordered, and the overall vibe of the place made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and craving great pizza!”
“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.”
“Great setting, creative and sensual cuisine, great wine list.”
“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!”
“Love this place: amazing food, nice atmosphere and friendly service!”
“Such a cozy and elegant place with wonderful staff! The Adjaruli khachapuri was beyond my expectations – truly delicious. Definitely a spot I’d love to come back to 🤍”
“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!”
“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant”
“The food is incredible and the service is amazing. All waiters are super nice and well accommodate you as needed. Definitely give it a try!”
“Always a fantastic experience at both locations and last night was no different! Staff is always attentive, friendly, and efficient while still creating a cool and relaxing atmosphere. Food is always insane and there’s basically no bad dishes on the menu, although the Moroccan Fish Tagine, and Greek salad with chicken are my favorites. Special shoutout to Eric for the great service and for recommending the labne cheesecake.”

“Burger was good but not amazing. Short rib su louvre was good but fries were t the best side for the dish. The lobster orzo was surprisingly underseasoned. Our server was super friendly.”
“Delicious food I had in long time with exclusive tast of fruits herbs and meat”
“We had a fabulous date night dinner here! Everything was 10/10! The spicy fried rice is indeed spicy! We balanced it out with the other items we ordered though. We also got the honey truffle ice cream pie for dessert. Blew our minds! Don’t snooze on this place.”
“This Thai restaurant in Brooklyn is absolutely amazing. Every dish tasted authentic and full of flavor. I really loved the decoration and overall atmosphere, and the outdoor garden at the entrance is perfect for photos.
I highly recommend the Mook Kung Curry — it’s so flavorful and goes perfectly with rice. The Thai Style Pork Over Rice was also one of my favorites. The pork belly was fried crispy and delicious. Their cocktails were great too, and very beautiful.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and come back again!”
“I took my friend for a nice night out and it was wonderful. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxing and the bartender mario was very knowledgeable. We had the birria tacos, fish tacos, and tuna tostada everything was incredible!”
“The BEST Thai I’ve had in New York. I had an issue with a pickup order recently, & I reached out to them on instagram. Their customer service went above & beyond to make it right. Food is so good, & love that you can customize the pad thai to exclude egg.”
“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.”
“Sat at the bar with 2 other friends last week, service was attentive, food was delicious. We didn't love the honey creme dessert thing, the consistency was kinda weird but would def reco the pumpkin sour cocktail.”
“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend”
“The duck shio soba was very tasty. The broth was rich yet not too thick. The buckwheat sprouts add a great texture. Duck was a bit chewy though.
The black truffle curry soba was moderately spicy. The truffle really enhances the curry flavor and the sprouts as a great texture. The broth is rich, thick, and oily. Duck was a bit chewy though.”
“Really great sushi and great atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and it felt like having a meal with friends. The pieces you know will be great (toro, wagyu, etc.) were great but they also had the best scallop I’ve ever had with delicious black garlic. I’ll be back.”
“The service at Levant on Smith was top notch. I only wish the food had been. It was fine but nothing was so tasty that I would go back for more. Even the hot water for my tea was lukewarm. Again, the servers were super and even inquired if we didn't enjoy the meal because we left so much. The food just wasn't that great.”
“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated”
“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.”
“A cozy and busy place on a cold Wednesday night. The service was good but not super attentive—we had to get the waiter’s attention a few time to refill our glasses. But the main reason why we came were the vey positive food reviews. The appetizers (burrata, oxtail) were indeed amazing but my Saltimbocca was very disappointing: dry meat, barely any sage, reheated potatoes.”
“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful place for dinner and delicious drinks. The bartender was lovely and talked through the cocktail menu with such an impressive knowledge of the components and the food was so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!”
“Celebrated a 5-person birthday dinner in their outdoor, heated patio. We had just about everything on the menu and some things twice. Amazing! Can’t wait to come back.”
“Had a group dinner for a friend's birthday and absolutely LOVED the place! The ambiance was so cool and I could have stayed there all nice. Friendly attentive service. Great neighborhood spot!”
“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone”
“We came here for drinks on Halloween and were so well taken care of by the staff. Truly amazing service and cocktails. Excellent service and well-curated vibe. We will be back.”
“One of authentic Thai food with a good taste, nice service “Sherlyn” was very nice and attentive. Very recommended. Pla tord nam pla - deep fried fish with flavorful salty sauce.”
“Love Bar Bête's comfortable upscale vibe. Food was delicious. Also, the staff happily accommodated celiac needs in our party and our additional asks for a birthday in the group.”
“Local Irish pub. Good vibes and good drinks. Food isnt as great. They show soccer matches (EPL and UCL). I have yet to try their Guinness draft. I hear it's very good.”
“The food was amazing, we have never Taiwanese food and all of the food was amazing. The short rib noodle dish was amazing, my wife said she could eat it everyday.”
“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!”
“simply the best. The food and drinks are perfect every time. Whether you’re ready for a full meal or just some drinks and snacks Bar Madonna always hits the spot. Plus the staff are not only super attentive but also drinks experts that can make you just about any cocktail you’re craving. Definitely a crowd (or date!) pleaser, highly recommend”
“I came for my brothers 30th birthday and it was amazing. Great quality of meat (ribeye, tomahawk ) and drinks. Also the service was superb. I definitely recommend it to friends.”
“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!”
“Amazing mediterranean food and cool ambiance. Staff was super friendly! The mezze at lunch is out of this world, would highly recommend. Probably the best Falafel I had in NYC!”
“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small”
“This was my first time visiting, and I was impressed by the unique seating layout , it made the space feel really interesting and inviting. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. They were a little bit salty for my taste, but overall very flavorful and satisfying. I’m definitely considering coming back to try the beef noodle soup, the table next to me ordered it, and it looked absolutely delicious!”
“We hosted a private party in the Honey Lounge upstairs during the afternoon - the food was excellent, the space adorable and the bartenders friendly and speedy. More than anything, Bee's Knees was a dream to work with ahead of time - they were incredibly flexible and timely with space access, design of the space, and answering our multitude of questions. I would host a private party there again in a heartbeat.”
“The food was delicious; it felt on the verge on fine dining at times but at a reasonable price. Service was very good and warm, and the place is pretty. Will be back!”
“Everything about this place was amazing!! The food was phenomenal, some of the best we’ve ever eaten! Our server Andi took care of us like we were in his home—he was so kind and really made the experience amazing. The platter with the different dips is a MUST, but also is the Caesar Salad, Lamb, and Pita. Wine and cocktails were so tasty and really paired well with everything we ordered. Honestly, order everything because you really can’t go wrong! Stunning spot and will tell everyone that visits the area that they must come to this spot!! Thank you again!!”

“Been a realtor in Brooklyn most my life and you know what they say location location location well this time it’s Pasta pasta pasta I’m mean it’s just pasta however if you like pasta and you don’t make it yourself this is the only place when in Brooklyn you need to go. If you care about fresh pasta—whether you’re a chef, a serious home cook, or simply someone who values true quality—this is a must-visit destination. A genuine temple of fresh pasta, and a place Brooklyn can proudly call its own. Beyond the pasta, the shop has a high-end Italian market vibe with a great selection of sauces, imported pantry staples, fresh mozzarella, and more — all at fair prices for New York City. It somehow strikes the perfect balance between old-school Italian neighborhood charm and quality you’d expect from a top artisanal producer. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, they let me taste their soon-to-be-offered sourdough pizza. Without question, that pizza alone is going to put this place on another level. Once it officially launches, expect lines as far as the eye can see — just for the pizza. If you want to buy a house come see me if it’s pasta and pizza you’re after go see Savinos! Hey but don’t take my word for it what do I know’, go and see for yourself. Tell em Battaglia sent you’ you could thank me later! Love B…”
“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.”

“We were here for a Friday night dinner with our toddler. This is a nice and warm place tucked inside a building same as the time out market. This place felt effortlessly cozy the moment we walked in - perfect place for a date night. The service is attentive and the staff genuinely makes you feel welcome. We ordered whipped ricotta- truffle honey, eggplant parmigiana, a side of roasted potatoes and a wood fried pizza. Everything tasted good. Whipped ricotta is my personal favorite. Ask for free focaccia bread which tastes amazing with the whipped ricotta.”
“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!”
“Nice Place Food was fantastic. Oxtail delicious. Highly recommend. Bar Cocktail's are a disappointment. After sending the first Drink back the 2nd wasn't much better. Waitress explained they are prefixed. Please invest in a good Bartender who can make fresh Drinks. Thank you. Would love to come back .”

“I had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. My waitress name was Toya, she was committed to great service and was very friendly. The atmosphere was awesome and I definitely liked that you have a very modern style. Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great!”
“We’ve tried a lot of meal delivery services over the years, and Cook Unity is the only one we’ve stuck with. The food actually tastes like something a real chef made, not a frozen dinner pretending to be fancy. Portions are solid, flavors are great, and we’ve found a few chefs we reorder from all the time.
Another thing worth mentioning is their customer service. Any time we’ve had a question or a small issue, they’ve been quick to respond and genuinely helpful. It’s nice dealing with a company that doesn’t make you jump through hoops just to get support.
What really keeps us coming back is the consistency. Most meals arrive in good shape, and when a chef takes the time to package things thoughtfully, like keeping sauces separate or wrapping components individually, it makes a huge difference. You can tell when someone actually cares about how their food shows up.
It’s also been a lifesaver on busy weeks. My husband appreciates the higher‑protein options, and I love that we can mix and match meals depending on what we’re craving.
Overall, Cook Unity has become our go to. Not every meal is perfect, but the good ones are really good, and the convenience is unbeatable.”
“Very Friendly service really appreciated it , takoyaki squid balls r very nice , pork belly buns r allright , seared tofus r good too , light fries tempura things r not bad , main dish Ramen's Broth I've with pork belly is really rich broth really nice , little bit on salty side, noodles r not me favorites, had yellow ramen noodles , used to like Chinese ramen , Lao Being Fein in Queens , have good noodles but broths r d best , more meat , more broth :/) honest opinion, sincerely,,”

“The best 5 course meal my wife and I have ever had thus far. Our hands down favorite, and rightfully so as sushi fanatics, was the hamachi. Talk about fresh on fresh on fresh on fresh. Fresh fish, fresh fruit, fresh sauce, fresh cream, fresh presentation—insanely delicious and refreshing.
The tiger bread was some of the most exceptional bread we've ever had as well. The garlic was as buttery smooth to spread as the whipped butter itself, and was pleasantly flavorful without being overly potent.
My next course was the butternut squash rigatoni. The garnish on top was light and crisp and added that extra accent to the whole dish to round it off beautifully. My wife got the iberico pork, which was cooked to tender perfection. The broccoli mash concoction that came with it was reminiscent of broccoli rabe but basically in it's ultimate form anime-style. Crazy inventive.
The next course for me was the beer battered monkfish with risotto and was actually the best beer battered anything I've ever tasted. Superior crisp encasing that mouth melting fish. The risotto had crispy chunks in it as well and helped offset the heaviness of the fried fish like a wife offsets her husband's hard shell exterior and gives way to his heart of flesh. Speaking of, my wife got the lamb with risotto and it was yet again a perfectly tender cut of meat. It was smokey and carried a more intense flavor, which also was rounded out by the gentleness of the risotto, complimenting it on that marital level yet again.
Lastly, the desserts came in and ended the whole show the same way it began—with favorite-level energy. It was the solid second favorite course for both of us. Mine was the panna cotta. Yo. It went crazy. It was like a salted caramel apple cheesecake, but after finding a way to dial in each ingredient to the max before artistically laying it all out on a plate without any of the cheesecake crust. I LOVE sweet/savory, and it encapsulated that in a dessert beautifully. My wife had the chocolate cake with ice cream, and like we don't even know how to properly describe how good that one was—but here goes nothing. The cake was dark dark and rich rich from the sauce oozing on top to the moist pastry itself. The ice cream had a citrus undertone to it that balanced out the richness of the cake. Literally, yin and yang on a plate with the freshest chocolate drenched cherries on top. Good Lord, the Lord is good indeed.
The service was top notch, from the warm greetings, to the coat check in, to the menu break down, to the seamless water refilling and course transitions. We are big on omakase type meals as sushi heads, and this was up there while being a fraction of the price. There was a chill and comforting vibe to the whole restaurant as well. Take a trip here and let them take your palette on a trip it will sing praises on the whole way through. Bless.”
“Gator is a standout restaurant. Definitely in the running for best brunch in Greenpoint. I’m absolutely shocked that this place isn’t full to the brim every weekend. Every item on their menu is carefully devised, unique, and created to a very high standard. Their green eggs and ham are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked. The flatbread?? Incredible. Great service too, everyone is always welcoming and friendly. I hope they’re around for a long time to come!”
“This was an amazing and fun experience. The food and drinks were amazing. It was a real food and cultural journey and I loved the concept of this restaurant. I recommend folks to open your mind and enjoy the ride. It’s worth it and I can’t wait to go back with other friends!”
“Went to celebrate an anniversary and had an excellent experience! The food is fantastic, the space and ambience is really lovely, and the price point while expensive is commensurate with the dish construction and quality of ingredients you get (fish flown in from Japan that same day). We loved that the restaurant operates as a not-for-profit, donating proceeds to fight food waste. I’ll be recommending to friends for an upscale date night or a special celebration.”
“With Others has been my favorite wine bar in NYC for quite some time. I love stopping in with a few friends for a glass or bottle of wine and some snacks, or booking their Sunday wine school for a fun weekend adventure. I hosted a birthday party in the backyard a few weeks ago. Everything was perfectly handled! Lauren and the staff helped me pre-order wine and food and kept everything running smoothly. Would highly recommend for parties!”
“Run, don't walk! Visiting from the Hudson Valley for a day trip, and my wife & I are foodies. With a hungry 10 year old tyrant in tow, we took our son to the park across the street and killed an hour before wearily stumbling into Miatzil.
First off, on a Tuesday to be dead at 6pm is a crime! The Happy Hour here exceeds anything I've ever seen. $18 for 4 tacos & a cocktail (1 of 3 choices.)
The service is friendly & attentive, the food is wonderful & the spice level is up there with some of my favorite Oaxacan venues down in Mexico.
This hidden gem in plain sight deserves all of the love from the Park Slope community.
Much love,
Anton”
“Yesterday on Oct 19, 2025 at 20:58. I grabbed my dinner at Deux Chats, ordering oysters: Beau Soleil (New Brunswick, Can) Island Greek (Duxbury, Ma), and Kumamoto (Oakland Bay, Wa).
Shrimp Cocktail, Smoked Trout Salad,
I completed the dishes mentioned above in the restaurant and tasted a little bite then takeout the rest of dishes: Acorn Squash Salad, Loster Roll, and Beef Tartare.
Alejandro C and attendances assisted me during the meal. I also shared a prior experience and he confirmed with the owner that my billing would be handled appropriately this time. I promised him I’ll return back.
I and Alejandro both kept my recipe records, credit card (with my name), and the email.”
“Absolutely loved this neighborhood gem in Brooklyn. We sat at the bar and the bartender was so nice. We had their amazing cheese burgers with fries, everything was excellent including the atmosphere. The perfect place to hang out in Brooklyn for a casual meal or drinks.”
“Stumbled into this spot in Williamsburg and honestly, it’s the best pizza I’ve had since moving to New York. Properly crisp base, great toppings, and you can’t beat the price for the quality you’re getting. The staff were genuinely friendly as well — not just polite, but actually welcoming. Definitely my new go-to pizza place!”
“I hosted an engagement party here and all I can say is that it was an AMAZING experience. The space is so fun and funky and the drinks were stellar. Most importantly, the staff here is one of a kind. They were so sweet and helpful throughout the night and made the whole event truly effortless. Can’t recommend Lise and Vito enough! (Also their jello shots are a must try!)”

“It was my first time here and it was a lot of fun. The food and drinks were good. Joe was our instructor and he made it easy and stress free. With his moral support I did a lot better. I will definitely be returning.”
