“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.”
“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”

“The food was amazing. I regularly think about the whipped ricotta sourdough. We ate a fair amount between 5 of us and it left me wanting to come back to try the rest of the menu.”

“I had dinner by myself a few weeks ago (a spur of the moment decision) and was so delighted to have found Cremini’s! The owner was super welcoming, the squid ink pasta was packed with umami and flavor, and La Dolce Vita was playing in the background. It felt super intimate and cozy. I also learned the plants hanging from the ceiling are REAL!!
Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes on the menu!”
“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.”
“I literally love this spot. The owner is so nice and the food is fireeee. I always get the gyro special and it hits every single time. The atmosphere is very cute and calm. Such a chill spot with great food. Customer service is amazing!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience dining at Al Dente Fresh Pasta. The service from Hernando and Angela was very pleasant (Hernando laughed at my bad joke).
The Polpette as an appetizer was a great call. My girlfriend had the Rigatoni Al Pesto and I had the Mushroom ravioli special. Both were delicious! Angela gave us some lemon ginger tea to end the night and it hit the spot.
The atmosphere was very nice with good decor and fitting music.”
“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”
“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.”

“Walked into this place on a whim because the ratings were so good. I was not disappointed. Every piece of fish was super fresh and delicious. You could tell the chef was excited about his craft and very knowledgeable. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The chared otoro was a highlight as well as the engawa.
I was a little worried that it would be overpriced but I'd gladly pay again.”

“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).”

“Lived nearby when this unassuming place opened and we were very impressed. Excellent food and very professional service each time we went which became often. Not surprisingly this great restaurant has outlasted its notable nearby neighboring spots. We always felt welcome and got good value for the money. Now I wanna go back soon!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Honestly, a stunning gem of a neighborhood restaurant. I loved their beet salad with dates, the dates were so soft and juicy. The pork chop was very good, but just a little bit dry for my taste. The desserts were smashingly good, we had the olive oil cake with cream in a prune sauce, as well as the coffee mousse. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Sal Tang’s serves favorite Chinese comfort food and snacks and is a popular destination in the Cobble Hill neighborhood in Brooklyn.
It was busy when we came here for Sunday dinner and was unable to accommodate us inside even when it was raining (we had booked for outdoor dining).
Our group shared some appetizers such as scallion pancakes and cucumber salad with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The cucumber salad was light and very refreshing.
We then ordered four dishes and shared them family-style. We had beef and broccoli, crispy branzino with black bean sauce, their signature sesame chicken cutlets, cumin lamb over rice, sautéed pea shoots, and shrimp fried rice.
Overall, the dishes are decent and with good portions. The dishes are served in a timely fashion, and we enjoyed every single dish that was presented to us. We had a lovely time here. With good food and awesome customer service, you won’t be embarrassed to recommend this place to family and friends.”
“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”
“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.”
“I stopped in here with a group of 4 on Saturday for brunch, our group had a reservation and was seated promptly. The server came to our table not to long after we were seated and took our drink orders. We ordered beers, coffees and Bloody Marys ,which were the star of the show. As for food we ordered the chicken Caesar sandwhich, quiche, chicken liver pate, gigante beans, pancakes and chips with aioli. The star of the show was the chicken liver pate, it had a great rich savory flavor with a hint of sweetness and was served on a nice soft piece of sourdough. The Scottie Pippen of the food order had to be the pancakes, they were savory and sweet with a hint of lemon. The only weak link of the bunch was the under seasoned gignate beans, which had an off day. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a brunch spot in WB or Greenpoint.”
“What a gem! It was so busy when we arrived for brunch so had to wait 45 mins for a table but it was so worth it. Every single ítem was delicious. Will definitldy be back.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Food is authentic as it could be! Can’t wait to try their other dish in the menu. Good selection of dishes and very friendly staff! Will definitely come back :)”
“Good place, to eat dinner, everything you want and good French wine.”

“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Just had dinner at the Third Falcon last weekend. They somehow manage to make exquisite dining also warm, friendly and casual. After devouring a platter of sweet PEI oysters, we had the leek tart, white asparagus tips, cod with root veggies and the wild mushroom gnocchi accompanied by a beautiful white Burgundy. We finished the dinner with a sticky toffee pudding that was the perfect sweet/salty combo. Honestly there is not a single detail that I would have changed. I could have easily imagined having the same meal in the 6ème arondissement in Paris. The lovely owner and chef came by to say hello and check in with us (it helped that I was dining with regulars). If you are looking for somewhere classy yet comfortable, make a rez at The Third Falcon !”
“This is a magical spot. I’ve had dinner here twice, most recently for their Sunday Supper. The food was excellent across the board — in addition to the three courses included with the meal, we had the pearled barley with burrata and the bone marrow with mashed potatoes. The three of us couldn’t agree on what we loved the most. My personal favorites were the bone marrow and the chicken soup with cilantro and lime (would pay $$$$$ for that soup the next time I’m sick).
Don’t sleep on Ilis for a light dinner and drinks. Even if you’re not doing the full tasting menu, this place offers so much for you to try that you likely won't find anywhere else. As someone who has sat at the bar many times, I’d say that the cocktails are on par with bars like Maison Premiere and Please Don't Tell (all the drinks are excellent but don’t miss the Carajillo!). And the a la carte menu offers dishes that are consistently delicious and interesting. It’s a BEAUTIFUL restaurant that’s been meticulously crafted, and everyone who works here is really knowledgeable and friendly.”
“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.”
“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.”

Cheap Eats
“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!”

“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.”

“BEST AUTHENTIC THAI RESTAURANT IN NYC!!!! 10000/10
The restaurant is cozy and designed to look like a train car.
The service is great and the food is even better. The flavors and menu is so authentic.
Can’t wait to come back!”
“Fantastic meal and hospitality. Super inventive and fun take on Italian. It's not modern Italian cuisine - it's Italian cuisine made modern and it's incredible.”

“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).”
“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!”

“Amazing speakeasy. Nicely hidden but when you get walked in you're transported to another world. Great theme and the drinks speak for themselves. The staff there are very friendly. Could not recommend this place more.”
“Absolutely delicious food and drinks! I highly recommend the volcano wings for appetizer and colossal crab meat fried rice and the giant river prawn curry for entrees. Portions are great for sharing too!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“Great bar
Great cocktails
Great service
Great food
Great art on the walls
One of my favorite spots and Ricky behind the bar is a cool dude!”
“Really cozy and cute inside. Great for family dinner or date night. Food is good and reliable, but nothing crazy outstanding. Really liked the chimichurri with the steak”
“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone”
“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.”
“Great, inventive food, and attentive service. It is, however, very loud inside due to the bare walls. Please install sound insulation panels on the ceiling and the wall.”
“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.”
“A fabulous and delicious dining experience in Brooklyn! If you want food that has depth of flavor as well as refined technique in an environment that is warm and welcoming please check out this restaurant! Good for date night or just hanging out with a group of your friends! Highly recommend everything on this menu!”
“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!”
“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This place is very, very special. Having visited a lost count of Omakase counters in NYC, it’s often a real risk choosing a new one, even when you do the research and read a million reviews.
My wife and I took the risk on LUYA when taking a friend to dinner a couple weeks ago and it may have been our biggest surprise in NY dining in at least a few years. There are way too many things praise worthy at this place to list them all so I’ll highlight a few and let the rest speak for itself when you go try it…
- The staff is beyond top tier. Not only are they all friendly, kind, observant and attentive, but they’re also fun to be around! Never intrusive, never annoying, always the right amount of conversation.
- The fish is some of the best, and most outstandingly fresh I’ve ever had anywhere, not just in NY. The sourcing must be incredible because every single piece is truly punching WAY above its class in terms of price, taste, and presentation.
- The natural wine bar and perfectly curated selection of sake and Japanese spirits is such a welcome surprise. The cocktails are wonderful, and the bartender (somm??) is super knowledgeable about everything there.
Just come here, you won’t regret it. Best kept secret in the city.”
“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!”
“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!”
“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.”
“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Po kilkudniowym pobycie w NYC i zwiedzaniu Brooklynu, zatęskniliśmy za polską kuchnią. Obiad w Pierożku to był strzał w 10. Zamówiliśmy pierogi ruskie i z kapustą i z grzybami. Pyszne jak u mamy albo babci. Ciasto cieniutkie. Smaczny farsz. Po prostu świeże I domowe. Mały ogródeczek. Polskojęzyczna, sympatyczna obsługa. W łazience przewijak dla dzieci. Zdecydowanie polecam i serdecznie pozdrawiam przemiłą ekipę " Pierożka".”
“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.”
“I had dinner by myself a few weeks ago (a spur of the moment decision) and was so delighted to have found Cremini’s! The owner was super welcoming, the squid ink pasta was packed with umami and flavor, and La Dolce Vita was playing in the background. It felt super intimate and cozy. I also learned the plants hanging from the ceiling are REAL!!
Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes on the menu!”

“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 .”

“Delicious burger, cozy vibes, and service that can’t be beat.
On the recommendation of our server, Tom, we ordered the sunchokes for an appetizer and cheeseburger and risotto for mains. Favorite bite of the night were the sunchokes with fresh parm and pepper sauce. The cheeseburger and risotto were also outstanding and generously portioned. For dessert, our server recommended an unforgettable parsnip sponge cake with a decadent heap of cream cheese buttercream. The knowledgeable and friendly service made the dining experience warm and welcoming. I’ll be back!”
“Had a fantastic time at Boro Brine. We had no res but were immediately seated at the bar. The drinks were great. The fish filet was definitely worth the hype. We loved the persimmon donut. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We’d definitely come back again.”
“I made the trek from Manhattan to try out Liar Liar. It definitely didn't disappoint. The food was beyond spectacular and the service was great. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles, they were the best I've ever had. The space itself is beautiful as well. A lot of original exposed brick and creative decorating that make you feel right at home. This place was built and designed with love, you feel it the second you walk in.”
“WOW!!! 10/10 would recommend and would 100% return. I booked as a surprise anniversary for my partner and I and expected it to be gimmicky - not at all!! The food alone is worth the price and more - phenomenal!! Creative and delicious. I’m not usually easily impressed, lived in nyc for 10 years and have dined at so many restaurants… this one really blew me away. And the experience!! The service!! It’s like a tour of Bangkok without being there - so cool. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!!”

“I came here with my family, we were a party of 15 people! The service was great - thank you Noya and all the other staff! The food was delicious and the vibes were vibing!
The timing of everything was great, the staff came around often but we’re not overbearing at all, it was the perfect balance of coming around when we needed them and giving us our space to enjoy ourselves. Definitely worth every penny. My family is very picky and not one complaint.”
“Ikigai delivers an intimate, high-end experience without the usual NYC chaos. My partner & I went for Valentines Dinner and loved it.
The room felt serene, the pacing was perfect, and each course was beautifully executed with clear intention. The not-for-profit mission adds real depth, and the service makes you feel genuinely cared for.
It's a Fort Greene date-night spot worth the splurge.”
“Always love this spot. Had my birthday dinner here for ~22 people and they were awesome start to finish. Super helpful picking out menu, drinks, etc. The staff and space are both amazing. All of the food is delicious and the drinks are fun. The boozy affogatos are out of this world. Everyone is still talking about how much fun they had and how good the pizza was. Can never go wrong with Bar Birba! Perfect date night spot as well.”

“Walked into this place on a whim because the ratings were so good. I was not disappointed. Every piece of fish was super fresh and delicious. You could tell the chef was excited about his craft and very knowledgeable. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The chared otoro was a highlight as well as the engawa.
I was a little worried that it would be overpriced but I'd gladly pay again.”
