“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.“
“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“
“These are the perogies I dream of. hand made generations old recipe both classic ingredients and newer flavors, vegan offerings too. BaBa’s is a must do for us every time we’re in NYC and recently we enjoyed the hand crafted delights at home when we received a bunch as a gift after having a baby for my postpartum nurturing. Just like the name every pierogis feels like a bit of love from grandmas kitchen straight to the heart ( by way of the tummy) We love you guys and we love babas!“
“I am a long-time guest of this wonderful restaurant, the cuisine is magical, I tried almost everything on the menu, but...today Olivier salad and herring Under a fur coat is just a bomb, happy upcoming friends, keep it up, you are super!!!!“
“We had an excellent meal at Sweet Spot Café on Coney Island Avenue. They provide good service with attentive staff speaking both Russian and English. They work with our pace, which was a relaxed time with family for a celebration. I had Chilean sea bass, which was outstanding. Each item on my plate was delicious: the fish, the vegetables and the mashed potatoes, which were very good. The sea bass was moist and scrumptious. My companions enjoyed their chicken and lamb kebabs. Note that kebabs here are thin slabs of meat, not the cubes you get elsewhere. People really like the octopus appetizer. Not a lot of octopus but tasty. Greek salad was good. Not an enormous portion but but tasty. Some people really like the calamari. I thought it was a less than generous portion. Overall we would have liked a little more volume to the appetizers. The entrees were just right. Some members of our party had soup, which came in good sized portions. One person had a Georgian beef soup that he liked. Two people had green borscht, a summer soup with tasty greens in it. We had rose wine, which I was not crazy about. Might be my taste and not the wine. You can bring your own wine. No corking fee. Note there is a $30 fee if you bring your own dessert. Nice basket of bread. I really appreciate the dish of soft butter that came with it. For five of us the bill for five entrees, three appetizers, two glass of wine and three bowls of soup came to $250 including tip for a very good meal which we were there for a few hours. Sweet Spot Cafe is a good place for a celebration.“
“We love Georgian food so decided to try this spot while in the neighborhood yesterday and it was excellent, easily among the best Georgian restaurants I’ve tried in NYC. Nice and laid back, it’s byob but there’s a deli on the corner selling a good selection of cheap Eastern European beers on the corner. Their khatchapuri is amazing and I really liked the fact they whipped it up for you table side. So delicious. As a starter the dolma were also outstanding - nice sized grape leaves stuffed with meat. We also had the Georgian fried chicken with garlic sauce. This was a new dish for me but wow! The chicken was so tender and went so well with the garlic cream sauce! And their napoleon cake which they make in house was the perfect fonish. Just an awesome Georgian food experience that I’ll be returning for more of.“
“We stopped in spur of the moment...., food was delicious, salads fresh, babaghanoush was awesome..ordered Dolmas 3 sisters but they were out already..so we got "Dolmas 4 brothers" a joke with Nemat, our fantastic waiter! Highly recommend. We will be back soon!“
“Since it opened in 2023 I have never missed an opportunity to have lunch or dinner here when I am in the Brighton Beach/Coney Island area. They serve solid Central Asian cooking, which, as usual, includes some Russian specialties. I usually get some sort of lamb shashlik and either the potatoes and mushrooms or the herring and boiled potatoes. Moreover, the prices are pretty reasonable.“
“Pani Jola did an amazing job. I had my graduation party there and it was perfect just as how I imagined it. When it came to decorations before I can even say my thought she read my mind and figured it out. All the guest were very satisfied and loved the food. The food was excellent and the drinks were perfect! If you want to have an amazing time at your party than I Highly recommend Kaskade as #1!!“
“Some time ago I was invited to the “golden wedding” party of my friends' parents. This party was in Caspiy restaurant in Brooklyn. Exceptionally nice place with a warm atmosphere! Great people, wonderful food. I will definitely be back there again! Thank You so much!“
“While we have eaten in many Albanian-owned food establishments, most offered primarily Italian-based fare. Dinner at Si n'shpi, which Google Translate told us meant "Like in the house" (homemade?), was our first authentic Albanian restaurant experience. Located on 65th Street in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Si n'shpi's storefront didn't stand out but the inside of the restaurant was very pretty. We arrived for an early dinner and ordered two appetizers and two mains. Arrows in the attached menu photo point to those dishes. We loved everything. The cabbage salad was made with an oil and vinegar dressing and the 'fli', a layered savory pastry served with a block of cheese and a pickled green tomato, was out of this world. (I would come back for the Fli alone.) The qofte n tave - which translated to "may it be in them" ? - and grilled chicken with mushroom sauce were very tasty. The food was served with complimentary bread. Olive oil and vinegar cruets were on every table. Service was friendly and attentive. We really liked this place!“
“Varenichnaya is a great place to get great tasting Russian foods. It is located near Brighton Beach. This restaurant is small thought but the food is good.I had the chicken Piroshki for breakfast. I was warmly greeted by a friendly and helpful attendant at the restaurant. I appreciate the delicious food and great customer service.“
“Delicious food, great presentation, and excellent service!We had an early family dinner at Chateau de Capitane in March 2024. It was Sat but the music would start much later so there was no noise and we could talk.Almost all food we ordered was exceptionally delicious, from appetizers to desserts. The service was very attentive and we also got good suggestions helping to avoid ordering too much :)We highly recommend Chateau de Capitane for excellent delicious food and we'll certainly be back!AppetizersTrio Tartare - awesome! It had tuna, salmon, and yellowtail tartare and each had its own distinct taste. Can't really say which one was better as they were all good but different.Sesame Tuna - perfect! Tuna was tender and flavorful, melting in the mouth.Duck Salad - this one could be better as the duck was dry and scarce.Arugula Goat Cheese Salad - delicious! We were debating whether to order this salad as we make it at home, but we didn't regret. It had a perfect combo of ingredients + some sauce or smth making it a harmony.Kutaby with Herbs - fresh, warm, flavorful.Belyash with Meat - this eastern russia deep fried meat patty was about 1.5x of the standard size. It had perfectly fried dough (not burned) and plenty of juicy medium cooked meat inside. I tired belyashi in restaurants in russia and made at home, but this one surpassed them all. Just this single belyash already makes it worth coming back to Chateau de Capitane :)SoupsUha with Salmon - it was good, fresh, and clear. Plenty of salmon. It was tasty but somewhat standard. The taste could be made more colorful with some extra spices and maybe lemon.Dushpora - fresh and tasty, with cute mini-dumplings. We all tried and liked it.Solaynka - this one was unfortunately a miss. Tasteless and over salted.MainsDuck with Dried Fruits - simply amazing! If you like duck - this a must have! The portion was very generous and had la parts of duck - legs, wings, and breast. It was super juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. The dry fruits were of a good variety and matched the duck.Chilean Sea Bass with Creamy Polenta - soft, flakey, delicious! It wasn't not too fatty as a sea bass could be. Polenta was a great match as well as a mushroom sauce served on the side.Grilled Branzino - it was served nicely peeled off the bones and had great flavor and texture, yet was not "fishy".Stuffed Jumbo Shrimps - these were very good according to the people who ate them.“
“BOYB & The best hookah I've had, we had a pineapple strawberry mix. They take hookah very seriously ! Its a chill place music isn't loud at all. The food is good a little pricey tho but good. Service was good & the mock-tails are great. We brought our own bottle to mix. Its a nice low key spot. Good for dates in my opinion.“
“It was amazing experience ! Great place ! Elegant design inside , excellent service and food is overrated ! Filet mignon - I didn’t eat anything like that for many years even in streak houses ! Master chef in this kitchen ! Bravo !!! I definitely come back with my friends and highly recommended to others!!!“
“this place is incredible! Food is absolutely delicious! An absolute gem. Food was delivered timely manner. It’s always hard to choose Georgian restaurant while being in NYC but now I do have favorite one. Our server was great and friendly. (Tato’s) definitely give it a try if you love Georgian food.“
“We had an amazing time. We did a medium size birthday lunch (9 adults) 2pm-530pm on saturday. Set up some decorations beforehand, picked menu items, all done with help and no issues. From beginning to end service was perfect - asking if we needed anything, when can they bring this, would we like that...Food was fantastic! Salmon kebab, liver cubes, hachapuri (pie), octopus salad, cheese cigars, duck salad,branzino to name a few were delicious! Waiter was personable, friendly and efficient. We were in the terrace room and it was exactly the atmosphere we wanted. Would easy do another party there again!“
“I’ve been going to this karaoke for a year, maybe a little more, and I feel at home. The waiters (guy and girl) are just super lovable! Decent and attentive. When I'm there, I always have fun and relax my soul. Songs for every taste, food is delicious too.After reading the comments, I’ll say this: if you don’t like it, don’t go!) I’ll get more space!)))Respect to the separate Dj guy too!“
“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!“
