I had the best experience celebrating my birthday at this restaurant. Food, service, music was great. My special appreciation is to the chef. Food was absolutely amazing and plentiful. The price is on a high side, but worth every penny. Thanks, guys.

It was a birthday brunch. I loved the food, fresh and really tasty - from salads and appetizers to shish kebabs and sliders and other dishes in between and very fluffy sirniki and fruits for desert. The company was great and we had a great time!

First the Black Sea Restaurant Was blasting music until 1:30 in the morning. Located in a residential building No consideration for anyone. Now they're out of business.Tonight Saturday I'm hearing the same garbage come from this restaurant. Let's see how late they're going to be blasting the music. I'm on the 6th floor With my windows closed And it's exceptionally loud.They can either lower it to a moderate level. Or turn it off at a reasonable hour. If not this restaurant will be out of business as well.

Celebrated my 30th birthday here.. everything was outstanding. The service was excellent, we never had to wait for anything, waiters were constantly serving us food, cleaning, and not to mention it was packed in there with every table booked. The vibe is super cute, like typical Russian banquet spots. However I must say, the food was fantastic everything was super fresh and delicious and portions were huge. Compared to the usual south Brooklyn spots like level, wise, etc… this was much more memorable, felt more personable and every one of my guests agreed! Definitely will be coming back for many more celebrations.

We recently hosted my daughter’s 12th birthday party at VisÀVis Restaurant with over 120 guests from all five boroughs and Long Island — and once again, this place was absolutely amazing! The service was top-notch, the food was outstanding, and everything ran flawlessly. Not a single complaint from us — and trust me, with a crowd this size, that says a lot.
Our guests were truly impressed that such an incredible venue exists right here in Brooklyn. A huge thank you to the entire staff for their professionalism and warm hospitality. Special thanks to Manager Farruh, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect — we couldn’t have asked for more.
And just to share a laugh: the only “complaint” one of my friends jokingly made was that they never once saw the bottom of their glass, the service was that good!
Thank you again, VisÀVis — you’re simply the best!

Had such a great time at this spot! The food was so good—we tried the chili-smoked shrimp with celery root purée and the eggplant burrata salad, and both dishes seriously hit the spot. The shrimp had that perfect kick, and the purée was super smooth and flavorful. The salad? Fresh, creamy, and just plain delicious.
The service was absolutely amazing. Our waiter Alexander was not only super friendly and attentive, but also genuinely made us feel comfortable and well taken care of the whole evening—such a pro! The bartender Anton really impressed us too—his energy, creativity, and attention to detail were next level. I had a mango margarita, and I’m not even joking—it was the best one I’ve had in six months. And I love margaritas, so that says a lot.
Manager Stas was incredibly kind and checked on us during the evening, which was such a thoughtful touch. And the hostess Anastasia welcomed us with such a warm, friendly vibe—it really set the tone for a perfect night.
Definitely coming back. Great food, great drinks, and an amazing team that truly knows how to make guests feel special.
Denis provided an absolutely outstanding dining experience at Vis-à-Vis. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. His knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was incredibly impressive and helped elevate the meal to another level. Throughout the evening, Denis was attentive without being intrusive, anticipating our needs perfectly. His professionalism, friendly attitude, and attention to detail created a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Every recommendation he made was spot-on and showed his passion for fine dining. Denis truly went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. I would highly recommend requesting Denis when dining at Vis-à-Vis for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing spot — delicious food and great music. I had the pleasure of being served by Dennis, and he’s by far the best waiter I’ve ever had. He was super attentive and made sure my vodka shot glass was never empty. If you’re planning a visit, definitely ask for Dennis. I’ll 100% be back!
