“I’ve never done a review before, but me and my partner had an amazing time here tonight. Just stopped by to have a couple drinks and a snack before heading home. The server, I’m not sure of his name but he was a server in the front section by the bar Wednesday around 8pm. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine list and knew all the details about the food we were served. The food runner ran thru each item on the food. Just incredible service. The server picked a fantastic wine I wouldn’t usually go for. The atmosphere was fire. Food 10/10. Recently moved to the area and we’ll be regulars now. Couldn’t rate this place higher. Oh and I also want to mention my partner called ahead and didn’t catch the host, but they called her back in like 1 minute and managed to squeeze us in. You’re running a tight ship!”
“It was difficult to snag a spot for dinner because they are always booked. I don’t know if walk-ins are welcomed, but I used the OpenTable notification to get my table for the evening.I liked the food A LOT. Of course, it’s nice to have an unlimited supply of entrees and pitas. The portion of the main course is not very big, but you will probably be full from eating all that hummus and baba ganoush stuff.”
“such a cute little brunch spot. classy cocktails and great food. quiche was fantastic and everything on the menu was served impeccably. coffee is bottomless is you get drip. they make some mean cocktails too. anything on the menu is a treat and service is amazing.”
“After having enjoyed Bersi's eye-poppingly large platters that feed 3-4 people for $20-60 in total, not even Ras's lunch special ($18 bowls) seemed like a good deal. I did prefer the collard greens at Ras over Bersi's though. (Too bad I didn't try the injera at Ras for a comparison.) All that said, I did enjoy the Bole Bowl: the crunchy soy crumbles were a fun textural element, and the avocado injected creaminess into the mix. FYI, they have a couple of beverages with honey: honey wine and hard kombucha. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-08”

“I LOVE Ishi so much... This was my favorite omakase experience in NYC! Brought my parents here for their anniversary and their first ever Omakase.The ambiance is lovely. The interior is warm, inviting and intimate. Staff is very welcoming.The food is AMAZING and high quality. Every single piece was delicious and we were so impressed. I will definitely be back. There are so many great omakase places in NYC but this was the first that made me want to revisit even without a special occasion to celebrate.Thank you to the team at Ishi for such a wonderful experience!”

LORE
“Out of this world creative Indian cuisine. The atmosphere is perfect setting for friend, couples, and families. With a diverse bar selection you can find amazing mixed drinks and local brewed beers on tap. From Fermented Dosa to Lamb Chapli Kebab the starters are brilliant. As you make your way to the main courses the Sea Bream Ssam is so tasty, if you’re in the mood go for the seared prawns or maybe even the Mushroom Uttapam. To finish off the night they have a nice selection of desserts like cashew baklava or the ganache cake is amazing with warm chocolate sauce, rose ice cream, and cardamom salt. To top off the experience the staff are warm welcoming and very kind! Come on by, right on 7th Avenue in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn NY!”
“The Four Horsemen never disappoints. Sampled many dishes and all were perfectly composed and the quality and flavor was excellent. Superb wine list that is paired well with the staff favorites.”

“My brother brought an entire feast for us for Thanksgiving from Polka Dot. The food was absolutely delicious and the fruit compote was delectable. Hoping for another great meal for Christmas!”
“Cozy place the food delicious. Love the salmon and coconut rice. It's real home cook food. ?Kid-friendliness: My kids love the wafflesWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Absolutely fantastic experience at Greedi Vegan!! Had a wonderful date night with plenty of soy-free options, which was a huge plus. The ambiance was perfect from the moment we walked in, with attentive staff and great music setting the mood. While the drinks could have packed a bit more punch, the extensive menu more than made up for it. We opted for the jerk chicken bowl with oyster mushrooms, and the portions were generous and delicious. Will definitely be returning for another memorable evening!”
“Love the food here. Everything is very fresh especially the seafood. It’s all you can eat and price is decent. They also have a lot of desserts which I extremely love. The service is also amazing. However it is slightly hot when eating”

Claro
“Truly the best Mexican food I’ve had in the city so far. I didn’t know what to expect but the meats and flavor profiles were so developed. We had the tacos, bone marrow, Short rib, bass entree, scallops appetizer, and the rice pudding. Meat was juicy and smoked. Scallops were the softest most pure flavor I’ve had in a while and the spice completely opened up my palate. The bass with its accompanied salad was extremely intricate and well thought out to connect the two. Highly HIGHLY recommend Claro. Definitely coming back to explore the mezcal side of the menu.”
“Simply the best every single time we go! Super friendly with kids, outdoor backyard spaces, beautiful, and feels inside but open… And the pasta is amazing.I’m still remembering the mushroom special pasta I got months ago.Also, the wine list is great and good price points for quality.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Freshly made warm pita and flatbread from the oven! Nice dough and crust. Dishes were generous but under seasoned. Generous shwarma pieces on flatbread were overcooked. Rice with almond slivers from ouzi lamb was very fragrant and tasty. Comfortable seating. Light and airy. Attentive service. ”

“It is a small and unique fusion Japanese restaurant.LINGO BEEF PIE, it's beef pie. It's so delicious when eaten soaked with the bread we ordered together, and it's fantastic with a glass of wine.CRISPY CAULIFLOWER, white brucoli. The seasoning was a little bit of Kkanpunggi sauce with a hint of Japanese pickled ginger... Oh~??????I ordered HOKKAIDO MILK BREAD... I ordered this to eat with beef pie! So delicious potato bread??Everything was really delicious!andI ordered a special dessert that wasn't on the menu... Sour, refreshing and sweet, it cleanses your mouth properly...(My friend who went with me likes the Chinese style soup... but he said it's not delicious! Please note)If you like Japanese-French fusion, this is perfect??????”

“The atmosphere far outclasses the food but with the bar set so high, the food had a long way to go to match the setting.Enjoyed our meal all the same but not moved by the pork belly. The fluke appetizer was, however, top tier.”

“This is now one of my favorite bars in all of NY!!!Tucked Behind a Japanese restaurant in Greenpoint, I didn’t know what to expect.I was truly MIND BLOWN ?I would say to get the the Pandan Painkiller and MMM shot. The Pndan Painkiller was the perfect balance of vanilla and grassy notes, the foam on top was great textural element, it was slightly salty on the sip, the sugar crystals gave it another depth of flavor and slight crunch. Everyone must have this at least once!(I hope I’m describing it correctly. I would just say go try it for yourself)If you make it for happy hour, even better, save yourself $4 bucks on that drink. $13 for happy hour!Sophia was the bartender that day and she was great!(Next time I come I’m trying some of the food too)”
“So good! Love to come here every couple of months! I tried the red bean almond croissant the other day and it was delicious :) I always recommend people to come ”
“I loved this place and would definitely visit again! I should not that I had a late dinner here after a day of traveling, so I didn't try as many dishes as I would normally try.Food: I savored the Eggplant and Whey Dip, a symphony of roasted eggplant, crispy onions, cured whey yogurt, and mint oil that danced on my palate with exquisite flavor. The Roasted Cauliflower, adorned with a tantalizing tomato & chili glaze, shallot yogurt, pickled vegetables, and pistachio, offered a delightful journey through contrasting textures and bold flavors. Lastly, the Medjool Date & Lentil rice transported me to the heart of Persia with its aromatic Basmati rice, infused with raisins, lentils, cinnamon, saffron, and crispy onions—a comforting embrace of authentic flavors.Service: The service at the restaurant was top-notch! The staff were so friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and taken care of. It definitely added to the cozy vibe of the place and made our dining experience one to remember!Vibe: The vibe of this place was just perfect – laid-back yet inviting, with a clean and comfortable atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. It had this effortless charm that made it feel like a home away from home. The simplicity of the decor combined with the casual ambiance created a relaxing environment where I could truly unwind and enjoy my meal.I can't wait to get back to New York and try more items at SOFREH!Date of Visit: 15 March 2024”
“Couples or parties of 2 get ready to cozy up to your fellow patrons. If you need to get up tables will have to be pulled forward to let you out. Larger groups definitely have more room and spacing, but nonetheless the experience will be intimately loud. We came for the highly reviewed Coniglio (braised rabbit) which did not disappoint, but the Spaghetti Neri is a must try. The octopus was perfectly cooked and enrobed in a peppery sauce whose "slow burn" made it hard to put my fork down or prevent my partner from eating out of my plate. Their oxtail and cuttlefish appetizer is an "interesting" experience. The texture was heavy on the creamy and soft with flavors that channeled childhood memories for me, but were in conflict with each other for my partner. Thankfully, the Primitivo Orion was sublime on the palate in all the ways. If you're in the mood for a light dessert that isn't heavy on the sweetness, their panna cotta with wine infused cherries and almond biscotti is the perfect end cap. This place gets packed, so make a reservation. Our 6:45 pm booking was the sweet spot where the turnover from earlier diners gave us a little space for hand holding across the table and a mini lull to shout my man a happy birthday.”
“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.”
“The Four Horsemen never disappoints. Sampled many dishes and all were perfectly composed and the quality and flavor was excellent. Superb wine list that is paired well with the staff favorites.”
“Glin Thai is a must!!! The menu is classic yet unique with a variety of proteins, veggies, and flavors! The drinks and dessert were also so delicious! The service was incredible, especially since we were just walk-ins too!”

“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??”
“Food was delicious. Spicy, but not in a bad way. I enjoyed my meal. Many people got the soup and they all said it was delicious. Service was quick and nice. Atmosphere was calm. They have a full bar. It felt a bit expensive for what you got.”

“Excellent execution of every dish we got, good drinks, amazing food and the right vibe. Everyone was so nice and the chef kept sending us samples of other stuff so my friends in town were very pleased. Would definitely come back! we loved the liver mouse and the chicken is amazing!”
“Came into this place with high expectations and just about everything lived up to the hype. Unmatchable atmosphere and design. Incredible cocktails, tasty snacks.The only negative was our service. Our server did not have a lot of interest in helping us and her attitude didn't seem to match everything else. The bartenders making the drinks seemed a lot more personable, to the point where I wished we were sitting at the bar being helped by them. Either way, make a reservation and get in here!”
“Really great chill date-night spot. The little area in the back was so cute. The pasta was great. LOVE the oversized rigatoni and the tuna tartare. Need to come back to try their meat dishes still!!”
“Great food and staff went above and beyond for a special request. We jokingly asked if they could make onion rings for a friend at our table. We had the best onion rings ever, along with my favorite pork dish in a LONG time. Great night, don’t sleep on Gus’s.”
“This place has the most wonderful atmosphere and is truly one of the best Mexican restaurants that we have ever tried! Our server, John, was incredible and made so many great recommendations that made our meal that much more amazing! Highly recommend if you are in the area.”
“Order: broccoli, brown butter, buffalo mozzarella, rigatoni, olive oil + pistachio ice creamVerdict: first and foremost, just an awesome waitstaff. Effortless but nice. The pastas are totally fine, but honestly one note. Felt similarly about Lilia so no real change. The gelato was Excellent though. Only thing I'd come back for is the desert.”
“A fantastic Mexican/seafood fusion spot!We came here for my husband’s birthday and everything we ordered was divine. We started off with the salsas (you’re going to want to love spicy food if you order this) and got 2 aguachiles (both superb), shrimp tacos (I could have eaten 5 of these), and the whole fish (perfectly cooked, so flavorful and tender).Will definitely be returning soon!Vegetarian options: It’s a heavily seafood based menu so not sure I would recommend for strict vegetarians”
“A great place. The atmosphere is just what you would expect in Williamsburg!The cocktails are excellent, A knock out. Don’t forget the oysters: they are delicious.”
“If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.”
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.”
“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid”

“This little bar is a gem. It's too clean to call a dive bar, but it has the lack of pretension you look for in a dive bar. It is a place to drink with a friend. Not a "see and be seen" place and I mean that as a compliment.”
“The staff is very friendly and courteous and that for me is a plus. Is a little pricey but you can find about everything you need is very clean they have a second floor. No complaints so far”
“A 24 hour grill to cater to anyone’s needs. Staff is great and will tailor your sandwich at your demand. Moose and Nas are awesome at greeting their customers and make them feel welcomed!”
“What a wonderful place to have in sunset Park, literally 5 stores around and this one has to be it!! Love there menu and lunch specials and anything I need they don't have they get, that's always a plus and saves me a trip to bravo supermarket. There prices are also unbeatable compared to sy set bagels oh yeah and they deliver thanks guys keep it up!!!!Kid-friendliness: Chicken nuggetsWheelchair accessibility: Ramp into store”
“They absolutely cater to you. If you visit you have to try the Boar's Head Pastrami coated Turkey. DELICIOUS!!!!!!Vegetarian options: The sell sandwiches, you can do no meat no dairy options.Wheelchair accessibility: It is ground level access.”
“Great Steak Tostada. Loaded with meats beans and veggies. Good deal for $4.They don't have a menu so you have to ask. They have Chicken, Steak, and Chorizo. You can have them make Quesadillas, Tortas, Tacos, or Tostadas. Possibly other things, just ask.”
“This is one of the best car food in New York. Every day after work, I come to take my lunch. Different from any car. I recommend anyone to try the food. I expect you to love it.”
“Elite Gourmet Deli never fails to impress with its delightful chicken over rice. The perfectly seasoned and tender chicken, paired with flavorful rice, creates a harmonious and satisfying dish. The friendly atmosphere and efficient service make every visit enjoyable. It's a go-to spot for a delicious and comforting meal. Special shout out to the cashiers! They’re super cool and are very kind.”
“The best bodega in New York. Willy is the GOAT. I moved away for 4 years and when I came back, he not only remembered who I was, but remembered my regular sandwich order. You don’t get that anywhere else in the world.”
“I'm an Uber eats delivery courier. This place was a nice change from how other places treat delivery couriers. The food cooking in the morning smelled amazing. The staff was awesome. Great location for breakfast or any meal, I would think.”
“I buy their bread at the McCarren farmer’s market on Saturdays. The best sourdough I’ve had outside of San Francisco! Their long Pullman loaf (their most sour) is my favorite.”
“Solid bodega! My go-to for almost everything. Good hot food, decent selection of quick make-at-home stuff, huge bev selection (including great beers), the right price, and the folks are awesome.”
“I recently had the pleasure of trying the sandwiches at INDULGE GRILL GOURMET, and I have to say, they are hands down the best in town. The quality of the ingredients and the flavorful combinations make for a truly satisfying meal. What's more, the staff is incredibly friendly, accommodating, and respectful, which adds to the overall enjoyable experience. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, making it a great value for such top-notch food. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, INDULGE GRILL GOURMET is definitely the place to go. I highly recommend it!”
“Diner been there for over 30 years going there since I was a kid. Coffee and donuts fresh 24/7. And there food menu you will find your favorites. But the diner staple in park ”
“I've been to Campania in Bay Ridge a number of times. Every time I come, I'm reminded of how delicious everything I order is. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great food. Highly recommend.”

“Probably the only hot dog I’ll eat in NYC. Absolutely delicious. snap, crisp, juice, pop, crackle, YUMMY. They nailed it. And the owners, Jay and Joe, are mad cool. 10/10 ”
“The food is absolutely delicious. Lenny is the best. And they treat us really good.I must say the food is excellent. I've never had a bad experience and I've been going here for at least 30 years.”
“Pizza was good. Fresh anyway you want it. Service was pretty fast for the lineup that was there. The guys working there are super nice friendly just amazing pizza and service. The actual place… well not so much. But it was a nice day so we ate outside”
“Love the food here. Everything is very fresh especially the seafood. It’s all you can eat and price is decent. They also have a lot of desserts which I extremely love. The service is also amazing. However it is slightly hot when eating”
“Had a lovely time at Olmsted! All of the dishes were delicious - especially the scallop crudo! Kayleigh helped us and provided wonderful service. Definitely a must try if you're in Brooklyn!”
“Glin Thai is a must!!! The menu is classic yet unique with a variety of proteins, veggies, and flavors! The drinks and dessert were also so delicious! The service was incredible, especially since we were just walk-ins too!”
“i took away one star for the salad - please i am begging you, reevaluate the salad. otherwise a perfect meal. great wine, crazy olive martini.Vegetarian options: good bread, salad, interesting mushroom dishes, pasta etc”
“fantastic spot!!!! as a mexican is always a pleasure to find a legit mex place! with great food and kind people! we went for dinner, beto and the crew were amazing! we had flautas, tetela, quesadilla and a sope and everything was amazing!!! we also had a concha as a dessert and drinks and mezcal, we will be back for brunch! ?❤️? thanks crew for taking us to our georgeous ??”
“The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service correct and efficient. It has a Michelin star but it does not force you to order set menus or any specific dish. The duck is super delicious and I would say it is the star dish of the house, the quantity is abundant, it is enough for 3 people. The pastas are also very delicious, the bucatini amatriciana comes in a good quantity, but the ripiene is a small dish. You have to book in advance and in general it is a very worthwhile experience.”
“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!”
“very solid, authentic, small indian restaurant. price is right and portions are good. lots of options and the chickpea naan could accommodate our gluten free friend. we go out of our way to eat here.”
“One of the best meal I had in NYC. The place is cozy and the atmosphere is really great: nice music and dimmed lights. The food was amazing (see pictures below).”
“Pecking House had some of the best fried chicken I have had in recent times. It was elevated and you could tell there is an extra level of sophistication to their chicken. Different flavors, different techniques and some Asian fusion aspects that pair so perfectly well with the classic American style fried chicken. Cornbread was excellent, dirty fried rice was also superb and the chili chicken sandwich really hit the spot. Can't wait to return to Pecking House in the future! Service was also excellent; super attentive and next level for a more casual place like this one. Don't sleep on the Peanut butter pudding!”
“This was one of my most pleasant dining experiences in the NYC area. This little spot located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is worth the trip out of the city, and certainly a trip down the street.Let's start with the atmosphere and decor. It is such a refined and beautiful room. It isn't overdone, but right up to the edge of perfection. While I was sitting there, I kept thinking that I'd like to create an interior like this.Then, the staff greeted us with such kindness. I can't tell you the times that I have entered an establishment and wondered if someone even saw me. This staff was so quick to welcome us. It was almost like they wanted us there.The food was so well-plated. Before I tasted the food, I was enamored. It was almost too pretty to eat.I had the papaya salad. I loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness to heat. There was perfect texture. Some peanuts added with fermented fish sauce, shrunken shrimp and had a little heat, for those sensitive to that. Then, I had the duck meatballs served in a beautiful green foam on sticks. Next was the pad see ew with pork belly. I forgot the actual name and couldn't find it on the online menu. But, I didn't forget the wonderful flavors. I also had the crispy purple eggplant. It was prepared with green and yellow bell peppers in a chili pepper seasoning.This would be a regular stop if lived anywhere close, and will be must stop on my return.”
“Welcome to Birria island. Delicious well seasoned marinated beef Birria. I had the grilled cheese and dumpling. It was E V E R Y T H I N G!! What a immaculate taste. Service was amazing. Ashley took her time while assisting me and Evenin recommended her favorite dish. She was super sweet. Overall I'm extremely satisfied that I gave this franchise a try. It was very clean, spacious and organized. Thank you to the amazing chefs and wonderful staff.”
“A great place. The atmosphere is just what you would expect in Williamsburg!The cocktails are excellent, A knock out. Don’t forget the oysters: they are delicious.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Really nice place to hang after work. Love the atmosphere and the bathroom tip box and the feet only sink. Also love the blueberry crepe thing - I've never had such a dessert in my life. Got whatever wine the server recommended and it worked out well. The music was really good - chill but fun.”
“Fine Uruguayan cuisine. The best empanadas I've had. A laid-backambiance. Staff friendly and corteous. Prompt service. I have to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommended.”
“Really great spot with delicious, high-quality middle eastern food. Try the hummus – it's super buttery and delicious.Vegetarian options: The hummus and market mezze are next level”
“A true delight! I never thought I could have a premium Onakase experience in Bay Ridge. The chefs and staff are wonderful and the sushi is amazing. Book your reservation early for this culinary experience.”
“"WOW! Just had the most incredible dining experience at Yakar Steakhouse! The Cowboy Steak was absolutely INSANE - cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor! The atmosphere was electric, upscale yet rustic, and the service was top-notch! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The management even stopped by to ensure we were having a great time. The attention to detail was impressive, from the beautifully presented dishes to the extensive wine list. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings! If you're a steak lover like me, do yourself a favor and get to Yakar Steakhouse ASAP! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! ?"”
“I visited this indian restaurant at Myrtle ave and i ordered one veg thali the plate was filled with delicious food and the service was really good.Must try if you are around Myrtle ave , Brooklyn.”
“I have celiac, so I have to eat gluten-free. I found this place because of the reviews and wow it didn't disappoint. I got the Margherita pizza, and it was the best gf pizza I've had. I didn't have a reaction. The waiter was so friendly, and the customer service was A+. Music was great, too. Definitely coming back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free”
“This is one of my go-to spots. The poke is delicious and fresh every time. Great portion size and variety. Fast, easy, and convenient to pick up on the way home or after the gym. The staff are always friendly and very kind.”
“The food was delicious and the it was a nice cozy little restaurant. Definitely recommend to visit if you want some great fresh pasta dishes that are very flavorful. The polenta with mushroom cream sauce was delightful and the duck ragu as well!”
“Really great spot with an unbearable lunch special. $10.50 for 3 rolls is basically a steal & the choices you get are vast. All ingredients taste fresh and overall delicious. Make sure to get the Lychee ice drink, you won’t regret it. The service was lovely and all staff members were welcoming. Absolutely recommend!Vegetarian options: Vegetable rolls, hibachi vegetables, teriyaki tofu, vegetable tempura, soups, salads, basil eggplant, veggie stir-fry, & noodle dishes.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of children friendly dishes available from beginner style sushi rolls, chicken katsu, tempura, teriyaki, and lunch bento boxes.”
“I had the chicken and waffle which was excellent… Love the atmosphere and the intimate setting… I’m coming again next Wednesday… Thank you Shamire for making my experience a great ”
“I was at this place this weekend for the second time and the food is amazing, good flavor and consistency. The homemade pastas and dessert are to die for.Víctor, Paola, Camila and Alex do a great team job. good service, food and drinks everything was excellent. I can't wait to go back❤️❤️❤️”
“An excellent store. They KNOW how to retail properly. Even when there is only one person ahead of you on line and the boss is sitting down in back, he gets up to serve. No one waits long here. Store is always very clean. Staff is always very personable and friendly. They even managed to do Covid right, with a line outside. I love a place where you are treated as if you are valued.Vegetarian options: I guess. It’s ice cream.Dietary restrictions: Kinda toughParking: It’s worth the search.Kid-friendliness: Very friendlyWheelchair accessibility: The store is accessible”
“Stopped by for lunch and this place did not disappointThe staff treated us like family.The food was both tasty and cooked perfectlyWe tried a few different dishes and we’re very satisfiedBig portions good prices clean environment”
“Been here several times. Food is always phenomenal.Went tonight for Valentine’s Day and the service suffered as they overbooked. I know the owner will learn fromThe experience. The food was as good as always when it did come and the owner took care of us given the issues they were having. Will be back and would recommend.”
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.”

Antidote
“Antidote Restaurant totally nails the Chinese food scene! The vibes are cool – a mix of old-school and modern. The menu's like a journey through China, and everything tastes spot-on. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, making the whole experience chill and tasty. Whether you're into casual eats or something fancier, Antidote is your go-to for legit Chinese grub.”
“I didn’t end up coming here for brunch but I heard that’s the best. Came for a birthday dinner and had very creative dishes. The atmosphere is very simple, calming, and nice!”
Fine Dining
“The food here is impeccable. Just wow, I can’t stop raving and talking about this dinner.I went for the fall menu of 2023 and it was everything and more. From the service to the playlist to the open kitchen everything was perfect.Each course told a story, each bite was bursting with flavor. Sure it is very pricey but it was the best meal of my life, no regrets.”
“Loved it! I’ve been a lot over the years, and last night nailed it across-the-board.m! The ‘steak for four’ was as good as prime beef gets. Additionally, cocktails from the bar were surprisingly good, and all of our appetizers, salad course, and desserts exceeded our expectations. Steakhouse dining does not get better than this.”
“Unassuming Gem Small fresh rotating menu with a big wine list, this place is very French. Come as you are, no dress code with squeaky metal chairs and small tables. Seating is limited and there are only a handful of bar stools so I recommend reservations. Food is extremely salty with liberal use of cheese but also extremely delicious. We ate every bite of our meal including dessert. 1. Beef was cooked perfectly with an acidic bite and fresh greens to match. 5/5 and this was the don't miss dish. 2. Tangerine starter was fun, balanced and inventive 5/5. 3. Pasta was fresh and homemade with deep flavor, cooked slightly more than you would get at a northern Italian restaurant but still gets 5/5. The pea theme was incorporated into this dish as well. 4. Cesar salad was slightly overdressed with a spicy kick, 4/5. 5. Semifrido was chocolatey with a crunch, while nuts were the star and balanced perfectly with the sweet ice cream. My only complaint is being over salted. I usually don't care to finish but we ate the whole dessert, 5/5. We enjoyed our wine immensely. You order approximately half the menu, so don't expect overwhelming choice. But nothing is that adventurous to need a bigger menu. Overall we had a great time and I would highly recommend.”
“Quality Food, Service and Ambience! If you want a Great tasting steak, cooked to perfection; You have to go here. Family friendly atmosphere. Whatever your preference, it’s all Good. Definitely a place you’ll wanna go back too. Can’t wait to go again!”
“Came to NY for work and stumbled upon this GEM in downtown Brooklyn. Carlos is running an incredible Chef’s Table experience, better than any Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to in Chicago.My S.O and I had a romantic evening paired with hand picked wines from Carlos himself and an exceptional tasting menu. First time I left a fine dining experience FULL. The food was not only a work of art but an educational experience created with the highest quality ingredients available!”
“This is the epitome of a fine dining experience and establishment. Chef Victoria and her team delivers exceptionally curated dishes with each and every bite. Each one packed with bold flavors, textures, and aroma. The open space itself was the perfect setting. From the beautiful ceramics to the perfectly curated music. **Highly recommended**”
“Love love love this place. I found it off Google and decided to try in last June for my bday dinner with my friends. 1st off, it’s, one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to, the dance floor in the middle was awesome! Dj and singers were great! They played and sang all genre of music, which kept us on the dancefloor. The menu is quite big.I ordered the lamb. Everything we ordered was really, really good. The drinks were small but good. Then we stayed for the show, which is an extra $25 per person. It was definitely not a waste of our money. The show was out of this world. I would definitely visit again.I highly recommend this place!!”
“Good omakase place. Shari preparation is above average, good amount of rice, good temp, good tightness and vinegar combinations. Very few choices of hikarimono here, and Aji was just ok. Since I am a pure edomae enthusiast, an offering of Wagyu sushi (an extra price, of course i did not order bz it is not a pure edomae tradition) was disappointment to me since smoke smelling of wagyu beef spread all over the sushi bar. Services were excellent and a very nice, spacious atmosphere inside. I may try this place again for the second time. Overall reasonable to good omakase sushi.”
“Maybe I’m just not a steakhouse guy, which is a strong possibility… but I just didn’t think the steak lived up to the price. Everything else I got was delicious. But for $300+ for 2 people I want to walk away and say it’s phenomenal. And I couldn’t. If you like steakhouses I still recommend though, have a buddy who holds this as one of the best in NYC. And it’s still a great experience.”
“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!”
“The experience at this sushi restaurant was truly exceptional! Sylvia, our waitress, played a crucial role in making it so. Not only was the sushi of the highest quality, but Sylvia's attentiveness and knowledge added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Her warm demeanor made us feel welcome and valued throughout the evening. A dining experience elevated by both exquisit food and outstanding service.”
“Relaxed environment but we sat in one of the left side booths and it’s really tight sitting there so I didn’t have the greatest dining experience but the food was very delicious so we finished it all VERY FAST and left. We had steak/lamb/chicken and all of these were cooked to perfection and every dish was delightfully presented ☺️”
“There is a reason why this restaurant is always jampacked to the max and there's a waiting time even with a reservation! My first experience here was with a cowboy steak on a Valentine's Day dinner. My second experience was during Hanukkah with the hanger steak and both times did not disappoint. The service is incredible. The ambience is very romantic and, it's also great for families to come together. They do have private party rooms as well.”
“Such an authentic, delightful, unpretentious-but-exquisitely-elevated fine dining experience. From the elegant and creative plating to the design-forward decor and intimate setting, every detail of the restaurant and experience was so thoughtfully curated. The service was sublime and friendly, and the chef is truly on another level with innovative food that doesn't follow trends, but instead follows seasons and pays reverence to the bounty of nature. I can't wait to come back for every seasonal menu. I'm also so grateful that this neighborhood has the privilege of being graces by such a unique establishment.”
“Incredible lunch tasting menu!! Their presentation is some of the best I’ve ever seen, with each plate or bowl being so unique and beautiful. We also loved the mocktail wine pairing. We’ve never seen this available before and love that more restaurants are making this an offering.The food was delicious but for the price, you could go to other Michelin star restaurants and find better. If your goal is beautiful food presentation this is definitely the place for it.I will call out one of the mocktails was so good we went out and bought it ourselves!!”
“Couples or parties of 2 get ready to cozy up to your fellow patrons. If you need to get up tables will have to be pulled forward to let you out. Larger groups definitely have more room and spacing, but nonetheless the experience will be intimately loud. We came for the highly reviewed Coniglio (braised rabbit) which did not disappoint, but the Spaghetti Neri is a must try. The octopus was perfectly cooked and enrobed in a peppery sauce whose "slow burn" made it hard to put my fork down or prevent my partner from eating out of my plate. Their oxtail and cuttlefish appetizer is an "interesting" experience. The texture was heavy on the creamy and soft with flavors that channeled childhood memories for me, but were in conflict with each other for my partner. Thankfully, the Primitivo Orion was sublime on the palate in all the ways. If you're in the mood for a light dessert that isn't heavy on the sweetness, their panna cotta with wine infused cherries and almond biscotti is the perfect end cap. This place gets packed, so make a reservation. Our 6:45 pm booking was the sweet spot where the turnover from earlier diners gave us a little space for hand holding across the table and a mini lull to shout my man a happy birthday.”
“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.”
“Loved it! I’ve been a lot over the years, and last night nailed it across-the-board.m! The ‘steak for four’ was as good as prime beef gets.

Cheap Eats
“One of my favorite pizza spots in Brooklyn. They are known for their Detroit style square pies. Excellent soft dough with delicious sauce & cheese. The inside is very electric & creatively put together. My first Detroit style pizza experience & I loved it.Parking: Paid street parking available outside but can be a bit difficult to find an available spot.”
“Love this place, great vibe. The kind of place where you will find yourself doing inspired shots at midnight when you planned to go home early. A trillion stars.”
“My all time favorite taco place in the city. Los Tacos No.1 was my favorite until I tried this place. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their tacos but their pastor is my favorite. Whenever I am in BK, I will always make a stop here. Also try Tako Sando and Mallard Drake (al pastor hamburger) which is right down the ”
“Emma the hostess was so kind and so attentive!! Went above and beyond to seat us. I feel so desensitized to nyc culture but Emma as well as the full staff at Santa Fe BK gave me FAITH! KINDNESS WINS!!!Frfr the warm ambiance environment matches the warm employees”
“Fantastic selection on draft, friendly and helpful bartenders, a cute little backyard (especially in warmer months), dog-friendly, and an unexpectedly extensive whiskey collection which I highly recommend exploring.”
“Had a great time enjoying dinner at Lohi Rooftop. Came to enjoy a late rooftop view as summer was dying down. The menu is limited but has tasty options. We ordered the double smash burger, the salad, and the chimichurri steak. The smash burger was the highlight for me. Lohi also doubles as an event space as well. Have been to a couple of parties here during the summer which were always a good time. Make sure to tip the Bartenders”
“The Food and Service was amazing you should definitely try the chicken sandwich it's really good !! Also the ambiance is nice and it's a great place also to get work done. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to try new cafes.”
“Feels like a tourist spot. $26 Ruben. $3 soda. The sandwich was awesome, you’ll just pay for it. Good spot for you to order online, pick up and go. Better to eat at a park near by, Not much room to eat inside. There’s a few tables out front. Trendy neighborhood, this place is not going anywhere. I would come back for sure.”
“Excellent place lunch in Brooklyn, I love the chicken shawarma plate, and I always have some falafels on the side. Their falafel is some of the best in the area.”
“food: fantasticatmosphere and service: top notchfast paced and festive... friendly and welcoming... the owner was there making sandwiches and greeting customers!make this a stop when in the neighborhood”
“Being possessed of a very childlike palate that only enjoys extremely sweet and soda/juice/candy-type beverages, I used to hate beer and had never had one In even remotely enjoyed. However, trying some of Evil Twin's sours, I'm definitely a beer convert (well, Evil Twin's sours and similarly sweet beers, at least).”
“Can a slice of cake be life changing? I'm literally in the middle of eating a slice of their strawberry sumac cake and I'm definitely feeling that way. It's so dense and moist but still also fluffy and refreshing? The flavor is deep and complex but still accessible and it has a rich level of sweetness without being cloying. It's a slice of cake that can't be consumed mindlessly - it stops you in your tracks when you take a bite because it's THAT good. I'm being long-winded but as someone who has eaten more cake than advisable in their lifetime, I am grateful to have ByClio in my neighborhood as a place that not only delights but excites with every new flavor offered. Also they have excellent coffee!”
“Kudos to the bartender super fast super quick nice guy. The crowd on the other hand a little bit to Hipster for me, but drinks are strong enough to make you forget their here”
“Drove 40 minutes to try this restaurant and let me tell you it was so worth it! Everything was delicious from the drinks to the food and most importantly the mango sticky rice! ( one of my favorite desserts). Definitely go check it out!”
“Bartender Rocko not only remembered my name, but remembered that I had forgotten my credit card there. Great service, fun events, absolutely recommend for queers and/or Hibernophile.”

Cafe Mogador
“Savoury meats and falafels. Tried the lamb shank and the mixed grill, and both were delicious! Falafel was super crispy yet deliciously soft on the inside. Staff is great, there is seating outside in the shed and room for strollers too!”

Dashi Okume
“If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.”
“This is now one of my favorite bars in all of NY!!!Tucked Behind a Japanese restaurant in Greenpoint, I didn’t know what to expect.I was truly MIND BLOWN ?I would say to get the the Pandan Painkiller and MMM shot. The Pndan Painkiller was the perfect balance of vanilla and grassy notes, the foam on top was great textural element, it was slightly salty on the sip, the sugar crystals gave it another depth of flavor and slight crunch. Everyone must have this at least once!(I hope I’m describing it correctly. I would just say go try it for yourself)If you make it for happy hour, even better, save yourself $4 bucks on that drink. $13 for happy hour!Sophia was the bartender that day and she was great!(Next time I come I’m trying some of the food too)”
34
Francie
“The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service correct and efficient. It has a Michelin star but it does not force you to order set menus or any specific dish. The duck is super delicious and I would say it is the star dish of the house, the quantity is abundant, it is enough for 3 people. The pastas are also very delicious, the bucatini amatriciana comes in a good quantity, but the ripiene is a small dish. You have to book in advance and in general it is a very worthwhile experience.”
“Great food and staff went above and beyond for a special request. We jokingly asked if they could make onion rings for a friend at our table. We had the best onion rings ever, along with my favorite pork dish in a LONG time. Great night, don’t sleep on Gus’s.”
“Everything was perfection - from their service, to their drinks, to their food. We got the escargot to start, followed by the steak frites, pappardelle, and scallops. Everything was very yummy but the scallops were my favorite, and I will be ordering them again the next time I come!”

Miss Ada
“Food was delicious! The short rib hummus and the whipped ricotta were outstanding. Everything else was also very good, I would recommend this place.Service was also very good and everyone was very friendly and welcoming towards my baby.”
“Love the soft and fluffy pita! They came out puffy and were perfect to eat with labneh and salt cod & eggplant dip. Don’t forget to save some for the lamb meatballs. The roasted kale was surprisingly tasty too. Great service ?!”

Meadowsweet
“The best brunch plate that I've ever had. And I don't speak that easily. Felt like I was eating a dinner entree for brunch - in a good way. Duck pastrami hash & poached eggs, caramelized onion, parsley salsa verde & local greens. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the salsa was great. The duck and the hash was other worldly. Tons of duck. In almost a stew of small potatoes perfectly softened. In some type of gravy. Wow. Even the greens are great. Nice light dressing. Almost salty. Service was friendly and attentive. My daughter said her avocado toast was excellent. I don't make it to Brooklyn that frequently but can't wait to go back to this great spot. I didn't drink that day but they had a nice looking and well stocked bar.”

Ugly Baby
“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!”
“I came with my girlfriends for brunch for a belated birthday. We started off with unlimited mimosas. I had four glass and was tapped out. The waiter knew it was my birthday and he kept making sure my glass was full at all times. I had the poach eggs. My friend had the omelette and my other friend has the dish with the amazing bread. They both order hanger steak on the side and it was cook to perfection. I had a wonderful time and I truly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed in the food nor the atmosphere. Oh I got a side of crispy bacon because why not ?!”
“Pecking House had some of the best fried chicken I have had in recent times. It was elevated and you could tell there is an extra level of sophistication to their chicken. Different flavors, different techniques and some Asian fusion aspects that pair so perfectly well with the classic American style fried chicken. Cornbread was excellent, dirty fried rice was also superb and the chili chicken sandwich really hit the spot. Can't wait to return to Pecking House in the future! Service was also excellent; super attentive and next level for a more casual place like this one. Don't sleep on the Peanut butter pudding!”

Sottocasa
“We had just dropped off our bags at the hotel and were hungry and came across this place. We shared the pizzas and we were not disappointed. The servers for very friendly. This spot was simple and had music playing in the background.”
44
Aromi
“This is my favorite Italian restaurant in NYC. And they have the best pizza in the city in my opinion. I’m Italian and it’s very hard to find true Italian pizza!! But you can definitely find it at Aromi. You can also chat with the owners and the staff, they are really kind and the service is awesome. Also they have real delicious mascarpone and every time I ate that I wanted to cry because it reminds me of Italy! Really recommended!”
“Great seafood spot in sunset park that doesn’t feel like u in sunset park but drinks are on point and Jonny knows how to keep a good vibe goin, plus decoration here are ”

Bunna Cafe
“I grab take out from Bunna a few times a month. Their food is always fresh and delicious. The flavors are incredible. They have a great lunch special as well. Highly recommend checking out Bunna for Ethiopian cuisine in Bushwick!”
49
Ensenada
“A fantastic Mexican/seafood fusion spot!We came here for my husband’s birthday and everything we ordered was divine. We started off with the salsas (you’re going to want to love spicy food if you order this) and got 2 aguachiles (both superb), shrimp tacos (I could have eaten 5 of these), and the whole fish (perfectly cooked, so flavorful and tender).Will definitely be returning soon!Vegetarian options: It’s a heavily seafood based menu so not sure I would recommend for strict vegetarians”

Otis
“Otis is a go-to staple in the neighborhood that I bring all of my guests to! I haven’t yet had a dish I didn’t love. Most recently, I visited with someone who wasn’t so sure about mussels. Otis has one of the best mussel dishes I’ve ever had; the mussel-questioner left with a new outlook on how good they can be. Burrata is also a go-to favorite. The bread is made in-house and so delicious…. And the cocktails are fabulous too! The staff and service is the cherry on top. Big love to Otis!”
51
Bamonte's
“Looking for some excellent classic southern Italian food? Old school, right out of a movie with waiters in tuxedos and decor from over 50 years ago. Fantastic chicken parm, mussels, eggplant rollatini. It’s been around since 1900 so they must be doing something right. Come down to Brooklyn and make sure you have a reservation. They do have valet parking too.#hollyshotspots”
“This was one of my most pleasant dining experiences in the NYC area. This little spot located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is worth the trip out of the city, and certainly a trip down the street.Let's start with the atmosphere and decor. It is such a refined and beautiful room. It isn't overdone, but right up to the edge of perfection. While I was sitting there, I kept thinking that I'd like to create an interior like this.Then, the staff greeted us with such kindness. I can't tell you the times that I have entered an establishment and wondered if someone even saw me. This staff was so quick to welcome us. It was almost like they wanted us there.The food was so well-plated. Before I tasted the food, I was enamored. It was almost too pretty to eat.I had the papaya salad. I loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness to heat. There was perfect texture. Some peanuts added with fermented fish sauce, shrunken shrimp and had a little heat, for those sensitive to that. Then, I had the duck meatballs served in a beautiful green foam on sticks. Next was the pad see ew with pork belly. I forgot the actual name and couldn't find it on the online menu. But, I didn't forget the wonderful flavors. I also had the crispy purple eggplant. It was prepared with green and yellow bell peppers in a chili pepper seasoning.This would be a regular stop if lived anywhere close, and will be must stop on my return.”
“This restaurant was fantastic and we are so happy leaving there. They went out of their way for us, especially Monzu who went especially above and beyond to meet our needs. I had a weird request that they didn’t normally have on the menu and he made it with such pleasure and utmost hospitality. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. We will definitely be returning. Homey, cozy vibes and comfortable atmosphere. Quality food and amazing service- can’t ask for more. GO HERE!”
54
Eyval
“The best cocktails I’ve had in NY. Kashke bademjoon was so good. Mast musir and whipped feta so good as well as Barbari nan. Mushroom Kebab very good. I didn’t like the Tah Dig (Krispy rice) it was like Tah Chin without chicken in a sauce. Will I go there again!? Hell yeah!”
“Delicious BBQ in Industry City, Brooklyn, NY. The brisket and cornbread were too die for!! So good. The pastrami, thick cut bacon ? was very flavorful but super rich and filling, so please share!! It’s a self-serve place, so if you’re looking for table service you won’t get it. Be the food was very good.”

La Vara
“Relaxing and delicious restaurant in a cute area in Brooklyn. We wanted to get out of the usual flavors and dishes you see at many restaurants in NY and we accomplished it here. The food was very authentic and delicious, we felt like we were back in Spain. Highly recommend it for a nice weekend dinner.”
“It’s a really good place to have a quick lunch and enjoy a nice view of manhattan. This place has the advantage that has a lot of options to eat so you will definitely have something for you. I ate a bagel and was definitely a good choice. It was great.The place gets really crowded so it’s complicated to find somewhere to seat if you go in peak time. Also, the place gets quite noisy.”
“The food was so delicious. I had the Miso Salmon Ramen and the shrimp bun. My partner had the Rays Beef Ramen and chicken bun! It was our first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing and Quick. They were also very attentive. I would come back very soon and would highly recommend this place.”
“I will actually get all hoity toity food reviewer with this place. It was sublime.The thing I won't be able to stress enough is how well every thing I tried had the most perfect balance of flavors. You tasted everything, nothing was overpowering.For starters we had the seminola bread with oil, the broccoli rabe, the tuna and red pepper corsitini and the ricotta and honey crostini. The ricotta and honey crostini is a really strong recommend.For the main dish I had the maltagliati with pork sugo Bianco. The pork was excellent. My kid though, they hit the jackpot. They ordered the cavatelli with hot sausage and brown sage butter and it's literally their favorite pasta dish they've ever had. Which is saying a lot because they've been a fiend for spaghetti and meatballs the majority of their life.Our server Nicholas was an absolute pro. Very attentive and quick. The atmosphere is great. As always though, that star rating is affected by size. It's a tight fit between some of the tables, but the ambiance is wonderful.”

Cozy Royale
“Upon my second visit here I finally remembered to take pictures rather than devour the the food like the animal I am. All the beef is local grass fed and not to sound like a snob but you can taste the difference. Happy hour the best deal where you can get a smash burger and fries for $10. For the quality that's unbeaten. Also the Dry Aged burger is what everyone talks about here, we had it and I'll say there is a reason for it. The flavor is so much more prominent but you will have to drop $22 dollars for it (I'd say it's worth it) this place is an institution.”
“Quality Food, Service and Ambience! If you want a Great tasting steak, cooked to perfection; You have to go here. Family friendly atmosphere. Whatever your preference, it’s all Good. Definitely a place you’ll wanna go back too. Can’t wait to go again!”

“The food here is impeccable. Just wow, I can’t stop raving and talking about this dinner.I went for the fall menu of 2023 and it was everything and more. From the service to the playlist to the open kitchen everything was perfect.Each course told a story, each bite was bursting with flavor. Sure it is very pricey but it was the best meal of my life, no regrets.”
“This dim sum restaurant is quite possibly the most traditional Cantonese dim sum spot in New York City. Located in Brooklyn Chinatown, where there is a sizable Cantonese immigrant population, this establishment has a long history and preserves the authentic flavors of dim sum.They serve food through pushcarts, offering a variety of dishes not found in many other places, and their prices are cheaper compared to dim sum in Manhattan and Flushing. Additionally, they have a menu where you can order dim sum or stir-fried dishes not available on the carts.Patrons range from elderly to young, leisurely sipping tea and enjoying dim sum, and sometimes during peak dining hours, sharing tables might be necessary, but this communal atmosphere adds to the charm of the experience.Highly recommended for those who appreciate traditional dim sum.”
“We order take out from here often but dined in before too. The things we order most often are the Larb Salad, the Tom Kha, the short rib either in Khao Soi (as pictured here) or the curry version, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, basil rice. I like how they have the options of crispy pork belly and crispy duck but after trying it 3-4 times, it's almost always overcooked and dry. Almost like it's been refried several times and becomes tough. Instead I'd recommend the rib since it's pretty tender. Definitely get Khanom Tuay if you like coconut, mochi-like, dessert.”

“I love this place. Especially on a sunny Sunday afternoon for brunch. It was fun watching fashionable diners of Fort Greene trickle in and out of this airy dining room, ready to devour their brunch plates and cocktails. My lobster scrambled eggs were a bit salty, but I’d let the extra sodium slide. The short ribs with polenta was amazing.Breakout star - I really loved the biscotti that came with the espresso. I wonder if that’s homemade?I was here for dinner before as well. Loved both of my visits.”
“Mussels and fries are the way to go :) The chicken dish looked delicious too but I didn’t try it.Great ambience and service. The passion fruit dessert was tasty + tart.”

Bar Bête
“A restaurant that has been on my list for too long! Tried their winter menu and it was so good! The ricotta gnodi has the most fresh red crab. The tuna toast was so flavorful. The yellow cake is so simple yet so delicious. A good restaurant can really turn simplicity into perfection. Bar Bête really did it! The service and ambience were outstanding too! The only thing is (not the restaurant’s fault at all) I wish the party of bros were not there yelling. I think they might have some misunderstanding about the restaurant’s name. It’s not a bar. It’s a perfect spot for date nights and friends gatherings but respect other guests’ experiences first.”

“Went with a friend before shuffleboard at Royal palms. Amazing cocktails to start, friendly bartender service at the bar. We went with a wings starter which were crispy and delicious. Buddy had beef bulgogi, I had the spicy pork. Both were delicious. Spicy pork ended up being messy with the lettuce wraps but that could be a me problem. We ended with the beignets. Incredible, felt like I was back in New Orleans.Recommend.”

Café Mars
“Cafe Mars is truly out of this world! The food is delicious, exciting, and fun — the Waves pasta dish is our favorite in the city. They have excellent wine and amaro/grappa lists and are eager to find ways to introduce you to new tastes. The ambience is one of bright, upbeat, whimsy, with a number of surprises that I won't spoil here. But the star of Cafe Mars is the staff. Everyone you encounter from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave makes you feel like a beloved guest at their wonderfully wubulous dinner party. They are all warm and welcoming with just the right amount of weird, and they've mastered the art of authentic hospitality. Can't wait for our next visit!”

“We sat outside. The service was great! They brought us the wrong cocktails and replaced them right away and gave us the first ones as courtesy. It’s not 5 stars because I don’t know how I feel about the big piece of beet in my burger. I thought it was gonna be pickled or treated somehow. Good overall :)”

“A true gem of Sichuan delights sending tingling sensations straight to your taste buds. A sultry and classy atmosphere perfect for a second date or surprise visit from your step-mom — the vibes here are top notch. Recommendations are the Ma Po Tofu (best in NYC) and Diced Chicken with Chili Pepper, both providing a one-way ticket to tingle town.”

“Needed a spot for some tea time with a friend. We decided on Gertrude’s. What an experience. The house cocktails were on point. The music….nostalgic. Our server (Kazz) was so fun and attentive. Our whole experience was phenomenal. All of the staff made sure we were enjoying our time. The food was off the hook. Highly recommend the Trout. For sure new favorite neighborhood spot!!!”
“This is easily one of the best dining experiences that I've had in NYC since I moved here eight years ago. Before coming in, I had never had Georgian food before and didn't know what to expect. Every single item was absolutely delicious and the service was even better. I was curious about the amber wine and the server was nice enough to give me a taste before pouring a full glass. Even the Georgian sparkling water was tasty. Not to mention, the actual decor and energy of the restaurant was so great. Everybody in there seemed happy and it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but still intimate. Before we left, our food was boxed up and we got a handwritten note with our receipt. I'll definitely be back sooner than later!”

Black Iris
“This place provides an amazing and intimate dining experience. The staff, especially our server Luis, we're fantastic. We drove all the way from the Connecticut/Massachusetts border to try the food after reading the reviews. Everything was better than expected.My husband's birthday was made all the more special by this visit.We tried the Mezze Plate, Salmon Kebab, and Chicken Ouzi. The flavor combinations were excellent, portions were extremely generous in size...I just wish I lived closer so I can try different things on the menu more often.I apologize for my photo quality, I didn't want to use a flash and ruin the ambiance for the other patrons. The photo is the Chicken Ouzi.We definitely plan on visiting again.”
“While the restaurant has closed they are operating as a food truck. Please check their Instagram to see their daily location. Lately they have been in bed stuy.This review is for my visit over the summer. We went on a Sunday and received the following: seafood mac n cheese; hot honey oxtail sliders; blueberry cornbread and the Cater 2 U which has salmon, shrimp and crab cakes. No complaints on the food, the portion size or the customer service. Everyone is always nice. I've only met the male owner during my visits and he is the best! Sad to see the restaurant go but happy to see that they are still making food. Definitely check them out when you can.”

“Their aged burger is a flavor-packed delight, while the Eggs and Mayonnaise dish offers a unique twist on a classic. And don't miss their comforting fish pie. With cozy ambiance and attentive service, it's a dining experience you won't forget!”
“We stopped in for cocktails only while we waited to go to a different reservation We had. We sat at the bar and enjoyed great service and a good show from the kitchen.After reading the menu, watching how clean and efficient the kitchen was and smelling the food, we were disappointed we weren't eating there.It's a very cool vibe, intimate setting with a great staff. We are planning a trip back to Brooklyn just to try this place.Quiet neighborhood that feels very safe.”
“I truly love this place. Everything is perfect there. Great food and atmosphere but mostly is the people. I always feel welcomed and appreciated. The biggest thanks to Andres who is always taking care of each customer making sure we are all feel good! Thank you guys and see you soon! You’re the best!”

“My wife and I went on a rare date to Fausto and it was honestly one of the BEST dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The food was excellent, the wine list was extensive, and the staff were so incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive without being overbearing. I would highly recommend!”
“Love love love this place. I found it off Google and decided to try in last June for my bday dinner with my friends. 1st off, it’s, one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to, the dance floor in the middle was awesome! Dj and singers were great! They played and sang all genre of music, which kept us on the dancefloor. The menu is quite big.I ordered the lamb. Everything we ordered was really, really good. The drinks were small but good. Then we stayed for the show, which is an extra $25 per person. It was definitely not a waste of our money. The show was out of this world. I would definitely visit again.I highly recommend this place!!”
“I saw this place on instagram and added it to my bucket list. My husband and I traveled from Atlanta just to try The Monkey King. The atmosphere is comfortable and laid back. Our waiter was accommodating and made us feel like we were seating in VIP. We met the owner Mike. He was professional and was grateful for us traveling to Brooklyn New York to try his restaurant. The taste from each dish blew us away from the concocted herbs and spices. We will definitely return.”
“Love the art outside of Japan Village. There’s so much to do here. There’s a grocery store on the 1st floor as well as multiple food stalls to grab a bite. Within Japan Village, they also have Diaso, BookOff and other stores! They also have mini claw machines!”

“I love everything about this place. The food is a bomb and the staff are all great.I personally think all the pho in NYC is so mid. For NY standards, the pho is pretty good. But what Di An Di does really well is the rest of the menu. So good.Please just turn the music down!!! It’s so loud.”

Alma Negra
“This was the best Mexican I've had in Park Slope. I had the chicken and my girlfriend had the steak. Both meals were delicious, but I'd say the chicken was the best chicken I've had in years, hands down. Juicy with crispy skin and delicious sauce. The service was slow (took 40+ minutes to receive our food after ordering), but that's probably because we didn't get drinks or apps. Both looked great, but not for us. The vibe is a little loud, but great decor with very pleasant energy. Looking forward to bringing my parents here when they visit next time.”
“Me and 8 friends were celebrating our best friends birthday , our server Cong Lin , is the best waiter . Very friendly , courteous and very attentive! Good job ! He deserves to be recognized. The rest of the servers were nice too . Highly recommended this all you can eat hotpot !”

“Pros: Good food! After a few visits we tried all of the small plates and rolls on the menu and everything was delicious. Fun cocktails. Cozy and comfortable. (Try to get seated on the perimeter of the space, the tables in the center of the room can feel a little claustrophobic.) Fairly priced. Cons: Uneven service. On two separate visits, the server forgot my drink. The server on our last visit was downright surly; she really seemed like she did not want to be there at all and spent most of the evening ignoring us. And, also during our last visit, we almost turned around and left because it looked like the place was closed. It was dusk, all the lights and signage were turned off, tables and chairs were stacked out front and a large pile of cardboard recycling was waiting to be picked up. I only saw that there were lights and people in the back of the space when I was out front.”
“As per most of my other recent reviews, I went to this Southern spot several months back. We went here after they had unexpectedly gone on the best new restaurants list having barely heard about the restaurant otherwise. The lighting was nice here and the staff was friendly giving good recommendations. They have ample space as well. The spot has a fun creative cocktail menu which are reasonably priced with some drinks having rather humorous names. I went with the A Complex Cocktail For Bitter People for $15 which is their take on a Negroni with roots of ruin gin, saffron liqueur, and vermouth di torino bianco which was excellent. The cocktail had a nice presentation with the vivid off yellow and the flower and it had a nice balance of bitterness, citrus, and herbal flavors. This was excellent though not on the current drink menu. They also had the opposite named A Bitter Cocktail For Complex People which was their take on a Manhattan along with plenty of other choices. As per usual for food, we split a lot of dishes. For smaller plates, my favorite was the Country Fried Baby Back Ribs for $16 with dill & vinegar and jezebel sauce. This sauce in question contains fruit jelly and combined with the dill and vinegar; it was a nice mix of sour and sweet with very tender ribs which weren't too heavily fried. Excellent. Also tasty was the Hush Puppies for $10 with jalapeno, cheddar, popcorn, and remoulade. They were lighter than expected with a little kick and the popcorn was fun for presentation. I think the remoulade should be on this side and not presented on top but I guess it's more artful that way. OK was the Crab Cake for $24 listed as corn flake crusted with whole grain mustard, radish, and herb salad. It was a bit pricey and the flavors didn't pop as much as the other appetizers. The mustard was a fun spin but perhaps don't order this as this is probably one of the only overpriced things on the menu outside of perhaps the steak. We ordered two main dishes; the Roasted Rib Cap and the Crispy 1/2 Chicken which were both fine. The former for $42 with bourbon worcestershire caramel consisted of a very tender steak though maybe a bit small. The sauce indeed had some sweetness but there was a bit of salt on the steak so it was pretty well balanced. The latter dish for $26 with`bama white sauce and herbs was solid. Tender fried chicken with a fun presentation. No real major complaints though I am not exactly sure if it is half a chicken (probably is though.) The restaurant is also known for it's desserts so we got both to share which are both $12. Of the two, my preference was the Key Lime Tart with toasted coconut and candied lime zest. I haven't had many good key lime tarts in the city and this was excellent as it wasn't too sour or sweet. The candied lime zest on top as well as the coconut just added extra pizzazz. I almost found the latter Banana Pudding Tart with caramel and vanilla wafers to be a bit worse. It was well presented as per the other dessert and it was plenty rich but it was perhaps a bit too sweet with the amount of caramel they put on top. This is a fun spin on Southern food which isn't exactly a cuisine you find commonly enhanced. The desserts and appetizers were definitely better than the entrees but the entrees weren't too shabby either. Upper 3/low 4.”
“Not only one of the greatest breweries for different IPA’s, but the brewery offers a great option for seating, ambiance, and it’s dog-friendly! The neighborhood is unique and artsy. Highly recommended!”
“fantastic spot!!!! as a mexican is always a pleasure to find a legit mex place! with great food and kind people! we went for dinner, beto and the crew were amazing! we had flautas, tetela, quesadilla and a sope and everything was amazing!!! we also had a concha as a dessert and drinks and mezcal, we will be back for brunch! ?❤️? thanks crew for taking us to our georgeous ??”
“Great vibe and music choice. Located in a very nice street on Red Hook as well. Burger was very juicy and meat to cheese ratio was perfect. Only one minor thing that stops it from being phenomenal: the bun was slightly too oversized for the patty imo.”

“I ordered late night UberEats from here because they had a BOGO Free promo on the pita sandwiches. Oh wow… I was too hungry to go to sleep which is why I got late night delivery (hungry but too tired to cook) - I couldn’t even finish one falafel sandwich! The servings are generous for the cheap price. I also got the potato patty. Both items were incredibly aromatic and flavorful (my cat even tried to steal a bite of this vegetarian dinner!), and now I can go to sleep happy and full. I’d absolutely order from here again!! (Quick edit: I forgot to mention the pita!!! It was sooo tasty)”
“Amazing amazing place!!! Just made a bar mitzvah for my son there. The owner is very nice and answers all questions immediately. The food is top notch and the place is beautiful!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend this restaurant for any event!!”
“We enjoyed a delicious meal of Colorado lamb chops and red wine (pairing suggested by the waiter). Lamb chops were cooked medium perfectly. Ambiance was good and fairly intimate. Highly recommend for foodies. Will definitely return.Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate my dairy allergy.”
“10/10 I love the pizza it’s very good and cooked well. I order from here all the time when I just don’t know what to make in my house and my whole family is satisfied with the delivery and I always remember to tip. I will keep ordering from La Casa Mia the best pizza ??”
“Pretty large supermarket that has a lotta product variety. The seafood is super fresh and they have some unique options. It’s also really clean for a Chinese supermarket so plus for that. They have a parking lot too.”
“"WOW! Just had the most incredible dining experience at Yakar Steakhouse! The Cowboy Steak was absolutely INSANE - cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor! The atmosphere was electric, upscale yet rustic, and the service was top-notch! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The management even stopped by to ensure we were having a great time. The attention to detail was impressive, from the beautifully presented dishes to the extensive wine list. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings! If you're a steak lover like me, do yourself a favor and get to Yakar Steakhouse ASAP! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! ?"”
“I was visiting Brooklyn and needed food, I looked up fish on yelp. It was like ennie mennie minnie moe. I chose Soul of the Sea after I viewed the menu. I called first to see if they are open because a lot of businesses closed due to COVID-19. Someone answered immediately and did in fact confirm that they were open. I informed them that I was coming but. When I arrived I announced that I called and placed my order. The person that took my order was very kind, friendly, and courteous. His customer service was fantastic. I ordered the fish sandwich and asked what kind of fish was on the sandwich, he directed me to the menu and said, whiting, do you see it under section of fish sandwich. I did conquer. He told me the price and asked if that price was fine. I said yes and then ordered a carrot cake. His attitude compelled me to buy something as I was eager to support a mom and pop style restaurant. I told the person taking my order that I was passing through and needed to eat. He thanked me for stopping in. The interaction was wonderfully pleasant, the store clean and the staff was attentive. The person that came to the front of the business to sweep, greeted me and thanked me for stopping in. This is an A class, 5 star service restaurant when it comes to serving the customer. Enough about the interaction and now the food. The sandwich was proportioned with a decent amount that was not too filling. I'm used to pieces of fish that were too long for the bread. I am also very pleased that they gave me wheat bread instead of white. The carrot cake was surprisingly not too sweet as I didn't want nothing sweet sweet. Bravo guy's”
“Very tasty pancakes, for the price you get 3 large pieces. And if you can't manage everything, they pack everything up to take away. The waitresses are very nice.”
“Got the lunch special with the boneless spare ribs, chicken with mixed vegetables and wonton soup all for 20$. The wontons were actually decent was very surprised. Everything is good.”
“Stella restaurant was very delicious me and my friend had the Stella tasting plate was very well seasoned will definitely be coming back. And we also had a side of steamed vegetables.”
“This restaurant is the best! The aesthetic is a vibe. The lychee martinis ? hit every time. I’ve tried 3-4 different plates from the menu and they’re all good. Each bite is full of flavor. Mike and the rest of the staff are kind and attentive. They have reasonable prices as well. This is my new favorite place.”
“Holy wow!! I stumbled upon this place by accident. I was at the kings plaza mall but wanted something that wasn't mall food. This was the shortest half block away! So close! But not only is the location close, it’s so very worth it!! I Had the smash burger, and let me tell you!!!! Every bite was juicingg! The flavor was all there. Forget shake shack and come by here! And the prices are very fair! Limited seating for now. But the more of jimmy’s (the super nice owner) business you support who knows what we’ll have in store. They also deliver, and have uber eats available ! Plus theres a location in the city as well!”

“Lovely restaurant with a great view of the bridge! We had to wait quite a while even though we’ve booked a reservation at around 2 PM on a weekend, but the staffs were nice about it. The portions, however, are quite small and underwhelming. I suppose the price tag is very much for the great location and interior.”
“This is a go to place. Omaury the waiter was on point and super nice. He was attentive and the food was delicious and the cornbread whew Chile!! I had to get 2 more pieces to go.”
“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable.

“Drove 40 minutes to try this restaurant and let me tell you it was so worth it! Everything was delicious from the drinks to the food and most importantly the mango sticky rice! ( one of my favorite desserts). Definitely go check it out!”
“Love this place! The sushi is so fresh and tasty. And reasonably priced. Free green tea pudding with Yelp check in! The pudding is topped with a spoonful of sweetened red beans. A delicious dessert! My favorite is salmon and here, it's melt in your mouth fresh and yummy. My favorite dish here is the Salmon Lover. It's salmon four ways plus a side of kani salad with some roe on top. Thick generous portions of sashimi, also has sushi, salmon avocado roll, and a grilled salmon collar (when available, otherwise you get 2 pieces of salmon belly). This place is so good, in one week, I went 3 times and still not tired of it. Not crazy about the chicken kaarage. The pieces are too small so when fried, it becomes dry and loses its juicy tenderness. Tried some skewers. A tad on the dry side. I'd stick with the sushi. Though the skewers were very popular with the kids at the table. Service. Attentive. Tea constantly being refilled. Decor. It's a small place. Lots of wood decor. The space is narrow with seating to the left and right. In front, a few private mini booth rooms covered with a curtain, line the side of the restaurant. These can seat up to 4 people. There is also a small party room downstairs. In the back, you can sit in front of the sushi chefs if you like, at a high counter.”
“The best prepped meal service I’ve ever used. I’ve been using them for a few months now, and their customer service and meal options are great! Lots of different types of meals and nutrition-focused options available!”
“Went on a Tuesday morning at 7:55am before they opened and was second in line. Ordered a bunch of things to try everything. The highlight for me was the ham and cheese croissant which is more on the flaky, airy side and the Nutella and almond croissant but the raspberry croissant, pistachio, pain au chocolat and the tahini chocolate chip cookie were also memorable.”
“Pizza was good. Fresh anyway you want it. Service was pretty fast for the lineup that was there. The guys working there are super nice friendly just amazing pizza and service. The actual place… well not so much. But it was a nice day so we ate outside”
“The serve was nice, helped seat 9 of us, they were attentive and super helpful and insightful. We ate and the pizza is thin but super flavorful!!!! Seriously this is a must come place. They did a great job, we ate it all!”

“Tonight, I ordered the fish maw chicken soup and the cold cucumber scallion salad. The latter was crunchy, refreshing, and satisfyingly well-balanced in its herby dressing with crushed peanuts. The soup was hot and rich, packed with silky fish maw, springy noodles, four kinds of mushrooms, lettuce, bouncy fried tofu, tofu skin, and tender poached chicken. Beautiful, fresh, comforting, delicious! The restaurant was basically spotless with cheerful vibes and prompt service. Other customers were either chatting happily or eating. 5 stars. I'm already planning my return to try the mala tripe soup.”
“The service was good as the food , also the waiter Muxammadsolih was so friendly and sweet? I’ll definitely come back again and offer everyone. Thank you ☺️”
“Update: Dinner was amazing too! I had their meatballs, minestrone soup, and their cheesecake, fantastic, Chef’s kiss, indeed.I usually have their pizza, with an iced chai or a cold brew. Their staff is so kind! Truly A+ it’s a new fave, highly recommend. Their parsnip soup is wonderful, and I’ve their salads too. all incredible!”
“Flavors that can only be melded together by a professionally trained chef, plating that is exquisite an amazing epicurean journey!The staff is knowledgeable, personable and professional.This is definitely a unique experience and a unicorn in the kosher culinary world.”
“I'd rate Formosa four and a half stars. Tawainese dumpling shop. We shared the signature pork dumplings and the chicken and cabbage. We had them pan seared and topped with their signature sauce and scallions. Nice sear on the dumplings. They were generously stuffed and held together well without being overly doughy. We also shared the fried mushrooms. These had a super crispy texture. If you're a fan of chicharrones, then you'll want to try these fried mushrooms. Service was quick and helpful. There was one gender neutral restroom. Atmosphere was casual.”
“If you feel like eating a burger when in Park Slope, this is da spot!! Stopped by for lunch today and I am totally happy about it! Ordered the Brooklyn burger and it was delicious! What a mushroom sauce!! Try, you won't regret it. Plus the service is exceptional too”
“I have nothing but positive raving reviews! Mustafa and Islam are people’s people! They were very kind, open and just overall amazing. I will be continuing to bring my business here. The place is was spic and span, the kids love them, and most importantly the food was BOMB!I ordered the mango habanero wings w/ranch, seasoned fries & tenders w/ Garlic Parm sauce. Both sauces were GREAT! The wings were perfect and the fries —-my vice—- were to dieeeee for.”
“Loved the vibes and drinks here! A nice addition to the neighborhood. Friendly and quick service is appreciated. I didn't try the food but I wish they had more seafood options like a shrimp or salmon add-on option for the salads could be enough to diversify and appeal to all eating preferences. Either way, I still look forward to coming back and supporting this spot in PLG.”
“If I could give this place higher than 5 stars I would. Hole in the wall with unbelievably good food. Cant go wrong here. The samosas were soooo good. Best mango lassi I've ever had too. And the service...amazing too!! Also very budget friendly! Will be back for sure”
“Good quality Halal food! Big chicken tenders, tasty burger and both high quality and delicious lamb in the lam gyro! Prices were fair too. Halal hot sauce was authentic and hot!”
“The best Georgian food. The atmosphere is amazing. The service is outstanding! They have a great set of people, the best Georgian Chefs.The kitchen is incredible clean! If you want to try the best Georgian taste in New York, this place is for you!”
“Freshly made warm pita and flatbread from the oven! Nice dough and crust. Dishes were generous but under seasoned. Generous shwarma pieces on flatbread were overcooked. Rice with almond slivers from ouzi lamb was very fragrant and tasty. Comfortable seating. Light and airy. Attentive service. ”
