“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist.
We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant.
Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.”
“Tyler hosted my friend’s birthday party here and we had so much fun! He was accommodating and I would recommend him as a host especially if you’re a first timer. Would definitely come back!”
“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!”

“I'm Italian (from Italy) and I LOVE this place. It's absolutely authentic Italian, very cute restaurant inside and the owner is super kind, fun and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have real and authentic Italian food!!”
“Best prime rib I have ever had in a restaurant EVER!!!!
And the service is outstanding. I always have so many questions about what’s in this and what’s in that and the servers are patient and take their time to understand and make sure that I’m only eating what I want to be eating.
The only reason I read the atmosphere of three is because it is SO loud. I know many restaurants like that type of atmosphere, but it makes it very challenging to have a conversation with people next to me.”
“The perfect place to host a birthday dinner with close ones!
I stumbled upon this place mid Febraury as I looked to celebrate my big 30. Fumio, the owner, was incredibly kind and responsive, helping me plan out the event and recommending the best dishes/platters for a group of about 15 people. The space has a very calm and artsy vibe to it, and I love the floor seating style which allowed for a much more flowy/relaxed vibe to the evening. The drinks were absolutely superb, and Fumio even let me play my own music playlist and have a projector with a photo slideshow in the background. This was such a memorable and lovely evening - big thanks to Fumio and his wife, Miho, for making this possibe. I cannot wait to come back one day for a drink and meal!”
“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”
“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.”

“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.”

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.
Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.
Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing”
“Visited RAS 3 times within 1 calendar week. With each visit the food got better. Service was amazing, was accommodated with bar seating when walking in. Ingrid was so helpful with recommending menu items, and answering all questions that we had. Will definitely be back, and will recommend to my family and friends.”
“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!”

“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 been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.”

“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!”
“I went to this store and I tried the “ diamond sauce” it was soooo good ! Finger licking good! I usually ask for extras in case the sauce runs out lol! Omg I will buy it every time I go to this store! You should try it !”
“So this store have everything you need from food and personal items from medicine, hand soap and toothpaste and much more things you will need in your household. And let’s not forget about the food, it’s amazing as well. The cook is friendly and accommodating.Leo is amazing and have good customer service and he make you smile and make you happy with his great personality. When you come to this store you would feel welcoming.”
“Now this is a good bodega. Ordered a sandwich and was such a fair price. And not only fair price, but the sandwich was amazing! And included a bag of chips! There’s a lot of bodegas in NYC, let me tell you, and not every one of them is offering this kind of quality at such a good price. And the guys were super nice as well. Keep up the good work.”
“I was staying in Brooklyn and thought I would try Smith Gourmet Deli. The food was fresh, and the sandwiches stacked. Definitely a true NYC experience. Prices are fair for the neighborhood, and the place is always clean and well‑stocked. It’s exactly what you want from a local Brooklyn deli: reliable, fast, and consistently good.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Probably best hot dogs i’ve had. Been here a couple times. They’re thick and very juicy. I’ve had the chicago style, new york style , and chili dog. Their chili is spot on! Service is amazing as well. got to meet the owners Joe and Jay, very friendly and humble. A++”
“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 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!!!”
“Mike's Coffee Shop has a quintessential diner feel and you better get there early if you want to snag a booth. They serve up all the classics and none of that $14 pancakes nonsense. I focused in on the Greek Specialties section and ordered a Gyro on Pita for $7.25. It has a good amount of meat, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki on soft pita. I could've used a squeeze of lemon on the side, but otherwise a flawless diner experience.”
“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! 🥰🍾🥙”

“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.”
“Authentic Thai cuisine, fun atmosphere. and wonderful owners and staff - well worth the trip to Carroll Gardens!”

“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.”
“I brought my dad here when he was visiting from out of town to experience an Omakase restaurant. We had a blast! The service, food, and ambience were spectacular. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion, or just a nicer dinner. The quality of the fish was also incredible, and well worth the price, especially for New York City - will definitely be coming 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!”
“We went into Cafe Mars with little knowledge beforehand and we're pleasantly surprised by our experience there. The food was overall excellent. We went when they had the Japanese Italian fusion menu and loved most of the inventive dishes. The salt bread was our standout favorite and the tofu time was solid.
We loved that the staff and the ambiance made it feel like it was a fun celebration of dining. From the first seating through the plating and music, it felt like a welcoming and positive environment to enjoy inventive dishes.
The staff was friendly and professional. It made me feel like if the staff are this happy with there, then they must be treated well by the restaurant ( I hope).”

“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!!”
“What an amazing dinner we were participating in. It started with a flower that exploded our taste buds through all the variety of sea creatures and sea plants prepared various ways to a light but scrumptious bread pudding and ice cream made with 3 waters. All the dishes were presented like works of art accompanied in artistic dishes. It was most definitely a wild to table experience. Highly recommend. (only allowed 10 photos. There was a total 13 servings of food and 2 drinks)”
“It was a very wonderful experience. The restaurant atmosphere is spot on, large with high ceilings, nice decor and comfortable seats. The service is wonderful though I did have a little bit of trouble understanding the explanation of the dishes (but the online menu tells you everything you need to know). The dishes tasted much better in the beginning than towards the end. The veal dish was not very tender. And their duck pie fell a little short on flavor. But very nice touch at the end moving to the couches and having tea/cake. The Polaroid pic at the end was cute.”
“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 !”
“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.”
“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.”
Cheap Eats
“I’d like to start off this review by saying that I am a Latina woman, who has been to Pokito many times and been treated with nothing but kindness and respect - as such, I felt the responsibility to share my personal experience here having read another review below.
This past Friday evening, my sister and I stopped by Pokito for a drink after a concert. We sat up at the bar, and they were quite crowded but to be expected for a Friday night. Unfortunately, there was a super loud group sat at a table behind us that was making it difficult for my sister and I to hear the bartender, or eachother. Having lived in NYC for five plus years now, I’m no stranger to a loud bar - but this was over the top.
At one point, someone screamed so loud that it startled my sister and I, and we turned to look over our shoulders to see what was going on - It had escalated to the point that my sister and I couldn’t have a conversation a few inches from each other because this group was yelling so loudly. At one point we made eye contact with the loudest person at the table - their review says they apologized to other bar patrons for their noisiness, but they certainly didn’t apologize or acknowledge their behavior to us.
So we felt relief when management asked the group to quiet down. We thanked the bartender for helping make the environment more comfortable so we could carry on our conversations together. Turns out, the bartender was Latino (like my sister and I), so we chatted for a bit. The manager was also behind the bar, who also identifies as a person of color, and was nothing but kind and lovely.
At one point, as the noisy group were leaving, one of them came up to the bartender and had what looked to be a defensive conversation. My sister and I didn’t engage, but I did check reviews because it seemed like they were heated - so when I found their review below claiming that their treatment felt discriminatory, I felt compelled to share my experience as well.
As a Latina woman, I’m all too aware that we live in a world where discrimination runs rampant, and I will be the first to come to someone’s defense. That said, I can wholeheartedly say that this was NOT the case at Pokito when the loud group was kindly asked to leave. It’s a very dangerous and loaded accusation to suggest that a business owner - let alone another bipoc person - is somehow prejudiced towards their customers. After my discussion with the bartender and management, I see them as very fair and warm people, who seek to create a comfortable and welcoming experience for all of their guests.
So long story short - if you are a person of color considering going to Pokito, I would like to reassure you that you will be treated with nothing but kindness and respect by staff (of whom many are also people of color!). That said, if you are loud / inconsiderate/ drunk / obnoxious and infringe on others’ experiences at Pokito, then management may exercise their right to ask you to be respectful for the sake of other guests :)”
“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”
“Huge selection of board games. Catan, Wingspan, Coup, Heat, Betrayal, Exploding Kittens to name a few of my favorites that I saw. Shout out to Aron for suggesting some new stuff and chatting with me about pokemon he knows his stuff, super friendly! Also alot of tgc being magic and Pokemon alot of the new sets too. Good vibes and energy here.”
“Great food and a really welcoming atmosphere! Cory was super friendly and the burgers (including my veggie burger!) and fries were some of tbe best we've ever had! I was traveling with my high school age kid and his friends and Cory made us all feel welcome which I really appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“The gentleman that waited on our table was excellent! The food was flavorful and delicious!!”
“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!

“Not only the best Persian food I’ve ever had, but one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The lamb ribs are an absolute MUST. Everything is fresh & delicious, traditional yet innovative. 10/10 and I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time. Lovely staff and vibes as well.”

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! 🥰🍾🥙”
“My husband and I were in the area after watching a movie and wanted to grab a drink before heading home. We found this spot and it turned out to be such a great experience! The tiki-style cocktails were delicious, well-balanced, and definitely worth trying. The atmosphere was incredibly unique—it truly felt like being on a boat, with the captain making announcements, background sounds, and even bubbles adding to the immersive experience. Last call was well organized, and overall the vibe was just fun, and memorable.”
“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!”
“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 staff was very helpful and the dishes were amazing”
“Food is wonderful, vibe is warm, and service is excellent - was so nice to talk to a real human being when trying to schedule a group dinner (rather than an AI bot as some other local restaurants use). Still thinking about the spaghetti pomodoro”
“Always have to stop here when visiting family in Brooklyn. This place has some of the best Thai food & all of the staff members are so kind and attentive.”
“Deliciousness! I’m going to stop there as soon as I arrive into nyc on my next visit 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾”
“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone”
“I brought my dad here when he was visiting from out of town to experience an Omakase restaurant. We had a blast! The service, food, and ambience were spectacular. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion, or just a nicer dinner. The quality of the fish was also incredible, and well worth the price, especially for New York City - will definitely be coming back.”
“I came here for my birthday and not only was the food amazing, the staff made sure it was extra special! Definitely try their prefix menu and make sure to have the creme brûlée! It was perfect!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.
Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.
Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.”
“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.”
“Absolutely beautiful small cozy restaurant with amazing food and great service. Special thank you to the bartender, I ordered 3 different coctails and asked for no syrup or sugar and they were made perfect to my taste. Roasted beet salad is to die for, octopus amazing and the skirt stake is something to come back for.”
“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.”
“Arriving when it opens, you’ll likely get to sit down immediately at the bar. I’d say it’s a nice place for an evening out but it can be loud, the bar area is very busy and it’s really tight. The food is amazing so we would go back but just with reservations next time.”
“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.”
“Habana Outpost is perfect for gathering and community. The host Brianna really made our visit worthwhile and made sure we were accommodated. It was at a large group and we received timely service and exactly what I expected for food. Thanks!”
“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!”
“We can’t thank Matthew and the team and Bee’s Knees more for helping us to throw the most amazing welcome party for our wedding weekend. They were so accommodating with all of our requests and our guests were raving about the cocktails and the atmosphere. I would 100% book a party here again, they have multiple spaces you can choose from and I found their offering to be so much better and more reasonable than any other venue in the area! Thank you thank you for a wonderful night!”
“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”
“Delicious food I had in long time with exclusive tast of fruits herbs and meat”
“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.”
“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.”
“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent food across the board—from the burger to the risotto, you truly can’t go wrong with any dish. We dined at Swoony’s for the first time on the recommendation of dear friends, and the food absolutely delivered. Hats off to the chef.
For starters, I highly recommend the lobster orzo and grilled prawns. As for mains, the burger, hanger steak, and butternut squash risotto were all outstanding. The cocktails were equally delicious.
The ambiance is great, though it does get a bit noisy, and the place was completely full. Service was attentive and seamless throughout. Dare I say I’ve found a new neighborhood favorite? It was that good.”
“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!”
“Impeccable service. Keiko was so kind and informative, as well as the rest of the staff. The chef prepared amazing courses and the flavor profiles were incredible. I will definitely be back again”
“Typically, I like to go to Chinatown when I’m getting Chinese food, but when it comes to birds of a feather, it is top-tier incredible Chinese food that you definitely need to try
I haven’t had a bad dish there yet, they are all phenomenal!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I'm Italian (from Italy) and I LOVE this place. It's absolutely authentic Italian, very cute restaurant inside and the owner is super kind, fun and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have real and authentic Italian food!!”
“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.”
“Hart’s has been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.”
“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!”

“I ate Hardee’s for the first time today. The food was fresh and hot. Customer service was also kind and efficient. I happened to be there with a long time returning customer who moved out of state and remarked “Every time I come home I eat here.” Between the food and customer loyalty, I have incentive to return.”

“We visited Cecconi’s as it’s considered a classic, and it definitely lived up to its reputation. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the views were lovely. The restaurant was very busy, so I would strongly recommend making a reservation in advance. Overall, a great dining experience and well worth a visit”
“I mostly came for the iconic experience but the food was just ok. On a very cold and windy day like today, I was glad that their doors were shut and it was warm inside. However, they ask if you want to dine in or dine out….even though there we were no indoor tables to sit and eat like there used to be. So, we had to stand at the end of the counter to eat our food. It was too cold to sit at the tables located outside. Overall, just an ok experience. Staff was friendly, food was good and as expected.”
“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 .”
“Initially, I did not know what to expect when I started my subscription with CookUnity due to previous companies I subscribed with. But as I go through their multiple dishes, I realized that I found a winner. To think that low-calorie food can taste this good was mind boggling to me. Pair that with flexible delivery time and affordability, I’m sold. And customer service? Top notch! Try their food from amazing chefs. You won’t regret it!”

“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!”
“Loved the tasting menu experience! Such an active kitchen and everything tasted amazing. I also ordered the lobster pot pie from the a la carte menu and the kitchen was able to fit it in before dessert. Great dinner! The flavor profiles were really blended. Loved small aspects like the coconut snow and the ginger granita.”
“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!!”

“Walked in here on a whim and was BLOWN away. Each dish was so unique— the “tuna sandwich” or “corn ribs” were a clever word play but more importantly a wildly delicious creation that you would never get anywhere. Matt took care of us and gave us great recommendations on what to order.
I don’t say this lightly- I CANT WAIT TO COME BACK.”
“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.”

“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.”
