I’m traveling on business and was solo. I like to sit at the bar when I dine solo because I get to visit with others and not feel so alone. I was told by the hostess they only sit two people not “just “ one person until after 9 at the bar. I ask please think about being on the road for work, away from home, friends and family, and how it feels to be solo. When responding to a person who is eating solo, don’t refer to “just” one, or put them at a table isolated from others because they are just one…..

I’m sorry but I sadly won’t return because of this policy and experience. I enjoyed the meal though…..

I came here to celebrate my one year with my girlfriend and we was not disappointed ! Everything was just on point and the service was amazing, for what I paid for in the end it was worth it, shout outs to the chefs working hard in the bad and all of the staff in the store for making my time amazing. Thank you for giving us a cake because the halibut took abit to come out but we understood and took our time with eating the foods that were prepared for us by the amazing team of bar Bête ❤️

I’ll definetly be back again and again.

Totally amazing meal. Usually I can find something to complain about, but not here. Everything from the service to the atmosphere and definitely the food was top notch. Thank you, Bar Bête!

Hesitant to review the restaurant because I’m worried it’ll be harder to get a reservation. It’s that good. Just go.

Standout dishes for summer are the feta, fennel vinagrette, chicken liver, ham and melon, and the ricotta crab gnudi

Unexpectedly excellent. Truly well thought out flavors and textures - extra crispy potatoes with fluffy insides and herby, creamy aioli; a salad with plentiful crunch from fried onions; lamb cigars with smoky eggplant puree and pine nuts with the sweetness of a fruit compote; perfectly fluffy yellow cake and chocolate frosting. Just outrageously randomly good for a random Wednesday night on a sidewalk in Carroll Gardens. Highly recommend.

Love this place. Great ambiance. Friendly staff. Food is interesting and delicious. Tuna toast with fermented chili and oysters with Meyer lemon mignotte were standouts. Do note it’s a smallish menu, but what’s on it is excellent. Everything is impeccable from the salads to the dinner omelette to everything. Really impressive.

Wow! Incredible, elevated dishes served by friendly, knowledgeable but relaxed staff, AND and on-site sommelier. It was heaven.

The tuna toast, leek vinaigrette, and the duck with stone fruit were really special. I don’t always like duck but this was like eating a perfectly prepared steak.

In a word: Transcendental. We did the duck fat potatoes (divine), the lamb-lobster sausage (inventive, decadent, mind-blowing), and the ricotta gnuddi. Oh. My. God. Manna from heaven, but better. All washed down with a rosé pet-nat. This place is everything. Do yourself a favor and stop in for drinks and a snack. You won’t regret it.

One of the best dining experiences I have had in New York so far. We ordered 6 dishes, and every single dish was full of flavour and truly a delight. Food was brought out in a timely fashion- well paced and never rushed. Our server was kind and attentive. Highly recommend checking out bar bête!

Order the chocolate cake ??

The chicken liver parfait was one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. Cool vibe, interesting wine list and great decor will definitely be back!
