me and my partner celebrated our anniversary here a month ago and decided to return tonight, and unfortunately i will not me returning. Our server abby make the dining experience unpleasant to the point we decided to get our food to-go. I called and put our name on the list and when we arrived at the restaurant we were told it’s and hour wait before opening our mouth with multiple empty tables. we also weren’t asked if we made a reservation . told her my name was on the list, and after i told her she was trying to makes us wait even though the 1 party in-front of us was not there. and again there was empty tables
she was laughing smiling and giving real hospitality to everyone else in the restaurant except for us. (the only black people inside at the time)
i also overheard her apologizing to people about “us” coming in before them
food good but not worth the weird service

I ordered over the phone and asked for the creole gumbo, went to the store to pick it up and when I got home, I realize that they had given me a chicken gumbo instead. Chicken gumbo isn’t even on the menu on their website so I didn’t know that it was possible for it to be conflated with the creole gumbo. even though a seafood gumbo was what I was craving, I tried to enjoy the chicken gumbo, but it was rather bland and flavorless. Extremely disappointed.

Such a cool little spot. Went with my friend who went to college in New Orleans and she loved it too!

Had a bad dining experience a few days ago. The food tasted inauthentic, poorly seasoned and portions for the gumbo & po'boy were tiny for what they're priced at! Their spritz drink is also expensive and pretty boring. The server and cooks were fine but the owner (tall white guy I assume) was very impatient and leering over/hovering above me and my friends to finish and leave, when there was barely anyone there on a weeknight. Friends who know real southern food or what the food portion should be even in new York, do not come here. The rating is truly over-inflated and food is blandly mediocre at best.

The restaurant handles every aspect of dining with care. Employees displayed exceptional approachability and ready assistance. The staff makes you feel at home and the meals are tasty. Next time I'm nearby, Lowerline will be my destination. The food quality is high and prices stay low; can't beat that.

Wow! What a treat! My cousin took us to this small and easy to miss gem.
This is one of the most delicious places I've ate in while visiting NY. We've add Oysters (the best I've ever had), two variations of Po Boys (steak, and Fried oysters) - both were delicious, and delicious gumbo.
Cocktails were amazing as well - I've has Arnaud's French 75 which was amazing.
This is a must have!

Went here for the first time with my boyfriend and the food was delicious and very flavorful. The coffee and chicory treat after dinner was a plus!

Totally in love with this spot. I love that they offer half portions so you can try a little bit of everything. Service is great and the people are really sweet. Food is out of this world flavorful and good!
If you are in the Brooklyn/Prospect Heights area you NEED to come to Lowerline. The food is beyond flavorful seasoned to perfection and is the perfect spot for a wonderful dinner. We ordered the lower line muffaletta, east coast oysters, and Étoufée. Everything was delectable and perfect. Love the cozy intimate but modern vibe too. Thank you to the kind owner and staff!!!!

This is the place I order from the most! Not cheap my any means, but it’s delicious.
(For context: it’s $20 for a small mixed seafood plate with no fries/side. My friend ordered fried oysters and it was like four fried oysters for $18. )
My go to: mixed seafood with their amazing remoulade and a cup of the crawfish etoufee. Delicious.
Also tried the roast beef po boy with debris and it was a little soggy by the time it was delivered but it was good!

Delicious plates, fair pricing, fast and friendly service, bangin’ playlist, tasty little surprise desserts? Lowerline has it all! 🔥🔥🔥
