The waiter said they were known for their handmade pastas which were beautiful but truthfully underwhelming. I really enjoyed my fish and their wine pairings. We did the math on the préfixe and depending on what you order it’s actually cheaper to go a la carte.

Celebrated my girl’s birthday here and we had such a beautiful time. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was excellent which is a major plus for any NY restaurant. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return.

Amazing spot near Brooklyn Bridge- Dumbo. Food was delicious! We got the pork chops and gluten free pasta. Service was amazing, our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and made our experience enjoyable. If you walk out of the restaurant, you will be on the boardwalk in 2 minutes with the views of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Perhaps the best meal I've had in Dumbo in the nine years I've lived here. The ambiance is elegant, the staff is attentive and the food is divine. Such a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Food was incredible and perfectly cooked. I like restaurants that have small menus because they usually have perfected those items and that is definitely the case here. Huge wine menu by the glass too.

The Branzino with corn was amazing and worth it. We devoured it until the last bit. The tuna tartare topped with caviar was delightful and light. Lamb was easy to cut and had a small crispiness to it, which was really good with the cauliflower. Cocktails were good and strong. Service was attentive and friendly. It's definitely a place to try again.

While visiting the area, we were looking for a low-key spot with great food, and Bar56 turned out to be the perfect place! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by Scott, who, along with Gustavo, took wonderful care of us throughout our visit. Their attentiveness and guidance with our food choices made the experience even more enjoyable.

All our dishes were fantastic, but the standouts for us were the raviolo and the octopus. The raviolo was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, and the octopus was cooked to perfection—tender with just the right amount of char. Scott also suggested the perfect wine pairing, which elevated the meal to another level.

To top it all off, the desserts were out of this world—fresh, delightful, and light, a perfect end to a memorable dining experience. Overall, Bar56 delivered on all fronts, and we would absolutely recommend it. A solid 10/10!

Cool comfortable down to earth spot with friendly service and food that comforts. I loved the space, felt instantly at home and everyone was just chilling and having a good time. On these lazy summer evenings, that all we want...
The music was great and the location cant be beat.
Love you bar 56

Finally some real good food. The Hiramasa Crudo is fresh and achieves a balance of different flavor and texture, it is quite surprising and interesting to eat. Ravioli is filled with cheese and raw egg yolk, which is creamy and hearty. Sakura pork has plum and onion as side, which makes the pork juicier, and the freshness of fruit contrasts well with the grilled pork. Overall 10/10
