“We went to Cecily for an event in June, and got to try some of their dishes.

The inside is a bit smaller than I thought, or it is more of an obscure dining room shape. They have a fully stocked bar, and a super friendly and talented bartender.

We had a few cocktails; Pink Panther, Cecily Manhattan, and Passenger Pigeon. The Pink Panther was not pink as I had hoped, but it was tasty. Fruity and elegantly sweet, really nice cocktail. Cecily Manhattan was strong, reminded me of Old Fashion. A nice, relaxing drink in the evening. Passenger Pigeon was aromatic and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness.

Food we tried:
Grilled Scallops had a great aroma of the yuzu. They were plump and soft, perfect texture, delicious!
Little Gem Caesar was super fresh. The piparra pepper had a nice little kick, Anchovies gave bold flavor and added texture.
Mussel Toast was divine! Garlic aioli is the bomb, while chili butter gives subtle kick that is so delightful.
Half Roasted Chicken was super moist, and packed with flavor. So tender, easy to cut with butter knife. It had crispy exterior, each bite was amazing.

For dessert, we had Mom’s Strawberry Cake. It was magically delicious. I believe they added strawberry compote into the whipped cream, making it extra flavorful and tasty. It had loads of fresh strawberry compote under the cream.

The staffs were nice, they took a really good care of us during the event. The drinks and food were great, we enjoyed them all. This is such a neighborhood gem, we would love to go back again in a near future to try more of their dishes!“

“I've eaten here about 3 times a week for an entire year.

The pernil, the chicken, the stewed steak, the meatballs. You cant go wrong with any of these.

This is a fast food type of spot, basic service.

But who cares the food is excellent.

Oh insider tip, on Fridays they make specials you can only get that day. I have no idea what I've eaten but it was so amazing.“

“Manchego restaurant is a gem in the local dining scene. On a recent visit, I enjoyed the Benzino fish with asparagus, and it was absolutely delicious.If you're looking for a welcoming spot with fantastic food, Manchego should be at the top of your list“

“Excellent Service, Cindy the waitress is professional and her patience with this group of 21 women was very notable, the food was first class, the steak is delicious, the prices were great, we felt like a VIP at all times, we didn't feel like we were in Fulton. Love it!“

“Great place to have an event! We rented out the restaurant for our welcome drinks/hors d'oeuvres the Friday before our wedding. Everything was perfect. The manager, Berna, was responsive, extremely professional, a total joy to be around. The food and drinks were amazing, service was flawless.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Great food, excellent cocktails and friendly staff! EVERYONE should go here!“

“A small and popular restaurant of home-made food at a reasonable to cheap price. The food is served in an aluminum pan and very simple plastic cutlery. The food is quite tasty and in reasonable quantity. It's worth it, if you happen to be in the area.“

“Usuluteco is another hole in the wall restaurant in Brooklyn where if you drive by too fast you would never see it . Let face it the abundance of traffic parked cars it new York but again I wasn't awhere they were on Google or else I would have taken more pictures the entrance is simple enough I know it winter but I would recommend palms ? at entrance when you get inside it pretty basic but they do have some Spanish song playing on bluer tooth to give it a little ambience tables are chairs are simple .the service was great was greeted as soon as I walked in I like that I went with some friends our waitress/ server attended to us immediately I had the pork chops and a coke it came with rice and peppers I was unsure but it tasted amazing ? and the rice was perfectly cook not a burn grain in site . Food preparation was good Instead of dumping porkchops ? on plate they added a Hugh piece of lettuce then putting the pork chops on top give it some color and style the pork chops were tender not tough (surprise surprise) well seasoned, for some reason when spanish restaurants cook pork chops thry feel the need to dry them out leaving the meat vey tough and hard to chew not at usuluteco they went a different direction , and the rice came out of bowl it gave a mound shape on the plate very traditional an old style that i see is now coming back well put together . These simple touches makes a big difference in customers coming back I would definitely go back and must stop by spot in Brooklyn..

Parking: It Brooklyn double park if possible but know guarantee“

“I enjoy the veggie quesadilla’s I highly recommended Amor Latino drink.“

“This was another happy discovery, and a nice place to stop in for old-fashioned Spanish comfort food. My favorite dish from here is the garlic chicken with rice and beans, as well as the fresh juices. One can make a dish off of the snack foods and smaller dishes by themselves; the standard rice platter that came with the aforementioned chicken lasted me for a few days, there was so much. They also have a wide variety of breakfast dishes and don't mind customizing them as needed.“

“Salmon very salty I mean VERY. Beef stew MAD tuff . The Bake chicken,stew chicken and avocado salad are the best to me.I like the fact they give you vegetables without paying a whole lot extra, y’all know. Dining area needs more TLC.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchairs can fit.“

“Great food. I have three children. And is a bit complicated to please everyone but for the first time in a long time everyone agreed the this good is delicious every single bite was yummmie eee. We order French toast,pancakes mangú con trees golpes. And a salami egg and mozzarella cheese sandwich. Everything was great. Five stars. We love it. We definitely will order again. Oh by the way my two daughters. 11, 15 years old said if they eat this every morning they will be so happy. I laughed but that can only mean one thing. The they really really like those food“

“The Owners are very friendly. Nice atmosphere. They make you feel at home. very comfortable. clean, organize place. Food is fresh and good! Highly recommend this place.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good food but the only bad thing is that it is a bit late but the food is very tasty and they serve you well(Original)Muy buena comida pero lo único malo que es un poco tardado pero la comida muy rica y lo atienden bien“

“Food was excellent and I had a great experience because the customer service was extremely great. If you’re looking for good Spanish, West Indian and American food this is the place to be. I heard the breakfast is even better. This is definitely my new spot.“

“My mom and I were in the area to see a show at the bell house. The onlyQualm is they close at 6:30. It's no extra frills and the food is phenomenal. The service was great. I wish I would've got the servers name. Food was fresh and servings were “

“Sabor got some banging Ecuadorian Food. Today I got the seco de pollo and it hit the spot. Chicken was nice and soft, the sauce was delicious and rice was good. The music is nice and low ish not too loud. Overall this place got amazing food and a good vibe.“

“My wife and I just happened to randomly walk past this place, saw the food from the window that looked really good, and took a chance. Really glad we did because the service was great and the food was amazing for a really budget friendly price. Wish I had pictures but we were so hungry and started digging in. Would definitely recommend.“

“A small and cozy restaurant to find Ecuadorian food with good portions. They have lunch specials which are offered in buffet style, and vary in options over the days of the week. It helps to speak some Spanish to communicate better. It is also important to bring cash, as it is the only accepted payment method.“

“We stopped in for lunch and glass we did. The outside doesn’t look appealing but the food here is amazing. We had smoothies which were delicious and had quesadillas, bowls, and tacos ?. Very impressed with the quality and the amount of food for the price. They also have great sides like Mac and cheese for the kids. The menu is extensive and has a little something for everyone. It’s pay at the counter and seat yourselves. Very casual. Highly recommend Ovi’s Place for great for great value ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kid-friendliness: ??❤️?“

“Great little local restaurant. Was staying in Brooklyn for a bit and there’s nothing like these type of spots. Great home cooked type food! Came here twice, once for some quick empanadas for breakfast and the other for lunch. Rotisserie chicken, rice, beans and vegetables for $20(USD). Great price, great portion, great food & great people.“

“Very good Dominican food. The beans and stewed chicken are always on point. Baked chicken is always well seasoned. For our family events, roast pork and chicken are never missing from Casa del Sabor. The restaurant always looks clean and the girls who work there are very attentive and friendly.“

“Food always made fresh and tasteful. Dishes feel and taste, as if someone cared about what they're sending out. The staff respected me and treated me like family, every time I dropped by. I recommend the fish, the lamb and chicken over rice and whatever you order, make sure you add their famous falafel . You'll love how that present the falafel, on your dish ?

Vegetarian options: I tried the veggie burger. Seeing how I'm not a vegetarian and enjoyed it, that should tell you how good it was.“

“Omg I have eaten lots of ribs in my years, but p&c spanish restaurant knock it out of the park and then some, the ribs so tender and it tasted like you are actually eating a pernil from old school cook, please don't ever change it I love it the best I ever ate,

Kid-friendliness: They are friendly with everyone.“

“For good spanish food on the go Jenny 2 restaurant is awesome and these are the reasons. The food is not salty at all very tasty. One can taste all other condiments, not overbearing well manged in taste.Their seafood doesn't taste fishy at all. Their price went up just like everything else in live but Jenny 2, the restaurant the food is worth every penny, awesome food made by Dominicans.

Kid-friendliness: The ladies and men who serve the food are very kind and pleasant, and they don't take a year to serve one.“

“Absolutely delicious food & great service! We come from Smithtown Long Island and it’s worth the trip every time never disappoints!“

“It is an excellent place, good food, good prices, the staff is friendly and serves quickly, the place is clean, safe to eat and hang out. I recommend it. It seems like a good place. I have eaten there for years and it has always been a restaurant that I like to return to.

Vegetarian options: It is not a restaurant focused on vegetarian food but they sell salads, juices and a person who does not eat meat can still enjoy a good meal.

Kid-friendliness: It is a clean, quiet place, the staff is friendly and polite and the restaurant in my opinion does not represent any risk for a minor.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp so that a person in a wheelchair or other device that supports walking has the accessibility of being able to enter the premises without major difficulties.“

“I visited El Ambiente Restaurant and Lounge on 4/14/24 for Latin Karaoke. We enjoyed our visit very much. The ambience is family oriented, nice decor, food and service was excellent, affordable, I highly recommend. I also found parking on the corner, which was convenient. Will definitely return to Eddie’s karaoke night!? My type of vibe!“

“All the people complaining about this restaurant ordered white people food at a DOMINICAN spot… Although I can’t speak for their chicken caesar wraps, the Dominican food tastes very special and homemade. The meat is extremely tender and falls right off the bone! The women working there have such a warm aura and the prices are such a steal for the big portions they give you. I recommend getting their lunch/dinner plates with a choice of rice, meat, & additional side. 10/10 will definitely be coming back.“

“Had the steak quesadilla and Al pastor tacos. I liked how the food was authentically prepared. The used the corn tortilla for the quesadilla and it came with cheese, lettuce, and queso fresco. The lemonade was awesome! The horchata was a little too watery for my liking. I would definitely come back and try something else!“

“Amazing food !! Saw some workers eating it outside and it looked soooo delicious ,i asked them where they got it they told me and boy !!!!! The best!!!and the prices are very very reasonable!!
Thank you !! Best !!! Will recommend it to anyone! Anyone !!! Better than all restaurants on Bay Parkway!!!“

“Great service great drinks wholesome staff 5 stars for me.“

“Perfect roasted chicken for your entire family. They have family combos of whole roasted chicken, rice, beans, sweet plantains and avocado salad perfect for family of four.“

“It is my favorite place, I love it ? the service, the excellent food and the employees treat you as if you were family ? may the Lord Jesus bless you greatly.

Kid-friendliness: You can go with children ? it is an excellent place.“

“Best Dominican food in the city. Been going here since my parents moved us to the area in 1996. It is honestly the best and no matter where I go I always say el portal is the best with the best chicharrón de pollo. Love the place the people, everything. Thank you for never letting me down in so many years. ❤️☺️“

“Their food is delicious! I'll definitely would love to make this a regular lunch spot or when I don't want to cook I 100 percent recommend ? I can't wait to try their other dishes! I'm pregnant I'm waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it ?“

“I went there after my workout and let me tell you their Pollo al Horno is amazing! I dont think there is any other place in brooklyn that offers this flavor. They also gave me this yellowish garlic sauce. You should try it. Their customer service was ok. Worth the price!“

“Great service, great food!“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.
We intended to go to a different restaurant but it was closed due to the holiday and we happily ended up here.
We shared the oxtail stew and the goat stew with rice and beans and plantains.
Service was great and they made us feel right at home. I’ll come back every time I’m in Brooklyn.“
