“A lovely contemporary Michelin star restaurant in the hip neighborhood of Brooklyn- Nura offers a cozy and chic vibe, complimented by its fusion style menu.
Inspired by co-owner Michelle Lobo-Hawley's Indian heritage, you’ll find a good variety of dishes with a creative twist. I had the kerala egg curry which was supremely flavorful. Will be visiting again!“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“If you want to go into the best time warp of your life and eat all the most amazing food while hanging with the coolest staff in NYC, Bernie’s is for you. But don’t go because I don’t want to have to fight for a seat with the regular degular folks since I’ve been frequenting this hot spot for years! Jk it’s the absolute best I wish I could live there.“

“The staff was extremely helpful“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“Outstanding service!! And the food was delicious!“

“10/10 for sure , very welcoming atmosphere . I felt like VIP.“

“We started with the Calamari which was very good. I like the tentacles and there were plenty of them, however, my GF is not as much into them. She had the prime rib which she found delightful. I tasted it and approve it. I had the Chilean Sea bass which came on a bed of potato puree, with broccolini and truffles in it. This was an amazing dish. There was also a grouper that looked good and some interesting items. We did not make it to dessert had two rounds of wine.. This is our second time there. First time we had the prix fixe menu which is more cost-effective but limits what you can order. This was indeed pricy but the food was excellent.“

“The local TGIFridays I had been going to for 10+ years closed down. I decided to travel abit further out to go to Friday’s “one last time.” But my server Fabia changed my mind. She was friendly and funny. Told me about recent updates to the menu and the food was as good as always. My experience made me realize that traveling a bit further wont be so bad after all.“

“First time coming here to try the hub it was amazing. The experience for me was top 10. The people at service are very respectful polite and the customer service was top tier. I appreciate them. And the food was banging on top of that loaded fries was amazing. The burgers had a bunch of flavour. The only thing that I’m upset about is that they’re not on Uber Eats And that they don’t have other locations, no restaurant, but hopefully Inshallah they expand great food great service And would love to come here again on many occasions in the future“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night. Delicious and inventive food and cocktails. The cocktails are soju based. We came for the a la carte menu and the standout dishes for us were the longgonisa, the momo, the trout, and number one was the pork belly. The rice it comes with is insanely good; I think you can order just the rice as a side. Get the rice and thank me later. Will definitely be returning for the tasting menu“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“What a great find. We stopped in after a Sunday Broadway matinee Very friendly staff Started with a red Wine Sangria and Hibiscus Margarita, both were very tasty Had the Tacos and Clara Burgher (angus beef). Again all food items were perfectly prepared as ordered. Finished with coffee , tea, and cinnamon churros Great service throughout the meal. Server kept checking to make sure everything was perfect. The girl behind the bar came over to check if we liked our drinks (we did). Place was very clean. Staff was super friendly and food was delicious $100 with tax and tip. Well worth the money we will be returning again soon.“

“Thanksgiving meal was awful, just awful. Nothing was sliced. Ni gravy. The meat was chopped up. Dressing was worse than stove top. Sweet potato pie was awful. Stale.no taste. Who is the cook in this place.

Paid $150 food was horrible . Never again.“

“😄a great value ,good food, cool place friendly staff, we have been going here along time always great time“

“Great spot for burgers and chicken sandwiches! The chicken platters are absolute fire too! 5/5“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“Great food service atmosphere and price!!“

“The oysters were on point!“

“Delicious and filling. About 20 min wait in a busy Saturday but worth it!“

“We decided to drop in for a nightcap before returning to the city, eager to sample the highly praised cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a bit of tardiness, I highly recommend the "Scent of a Woman" cocktail. Although my partner found "Josephine Noir" a bit too sweet.

We also got the tuna tartare to share - the portion was small and it lacked flavors. The item was unexpectedly expensive at $23. We were a bit taken aback by the prices, as they seemed to be comparable to those in Manhattan.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Modern Love. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food was incredible. Thank you!“

“From the drinks to the food prepare to indulge in heavenly bliss. We’ve been coming here for three years and each time it only gets better. This time big thanks to Alexis for the lovely hospitality.“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“the waffles 🧇 were delicious and the toppings were a added pleasure service was friendly and the place was clean I suggest everyone to add it to their bucket list You will be hooked !!!!“

“great food and ambience and quick friendly service“

“Very attentive staff!! Delicious food! I love the music!!“

“Update: Unfortunately I have to deduct a star because I ordered the cilantro marinated chicken breast with angel hair and the chicken was hard and dry and the pasta was mushy and completely bland and unseasoned.

My first time ordering from here and the food was really good. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was so good that I ordered dinner from there that same night. Both arrived hot and fresh. The only thing is that I thought the chicken sandwich came with salad (as pictured) but it came with fries. Either way everything was really good. They also have one of the best chai lattes I’ve tried in the city.“

“I have been a customer of Austin’s Ale House for many years, I know them well they know me well. This year I decided to give the excellent and highly favored family cooking team a break and had Austin’s Ale House cater our Christmas Dinner. I went with the ham dinner for 10 to feed 7 people🤣. The ordering was done with ease and so was the pick up. The family did a preliminary tasting...... LOVED .IT and whatever we have left after the “taste test” will have to serve as our Christmas Dinner. Since the taste test was so aggressive we may need to supplement what’s left with a few cheese omelets 🤣. We enjoyed it so much there was much talk about it becoming the new family tradition. THANK YOU AUSTIN’S ALE HOUSE AND MEREY CHRISTMAS........ PS I’m going to need one of those backyard igloos in a day or so. See you then 🎄❤️“

“Excellent selections of wine with plenty of expert suggestions. The food is inventive and designed to go with the wine. The family that owns, prepares and serves is warm and welcoming. My FH favorite!“

“akways amazing great food, great service“

“Wanted to try a new spot for brunch w/the Mrs and this restaurant DID NOT disappoint. It was 11:30AM and the professionalism and greeting still felt like it was an evening date vibe. Our waitress Ashley, was patient and knowledgeable. She guaranteed I would like the Honey Garlic wings and they were the highlight of the night. Not taking away from the regular and Baileys Chicken and Waffles fresh and delicious taste. Needless to say we will be repeat customers. Possibly become regulars.“

“love this place. the service is excellent. The food is fresh and good quality and most of the time I can’t finish it they give so much very generous portions. always greeted when you come in the front door like you a family can’t get any better than that“

“My friends and I went to the restaurant on a Wednesday rainy day I had the cinnamon raisin french toast with chicken and the fried shrimp it was very good the french toast is amazing. We also had the bottom less mimosas when I tell you they never let the glass hit the bottom. The service was excellent very positive and comfortable environment we sat for a while. we ate talked and danced and the staff continued to accommodate us beyond our reservation time limit. I will definitely visit Chocolat' again when in New York“

“Always top tier.musicians with jazz to soul and r&b feel. Cocktails are amazing and some of the specials are well. They have a late night menue! Don’t miss the jam sessions in the weekend! Love that it has history going sic to the Jazz greats.“

“Customer service was excellent!!!The atmosphere was very beautiful. The food was very delicious. The craziest thing was my boyfriend and I would pass by there all the time not knowing about this restaurant until I went for my birthday. The experience was everything 💕I will definitely be coming back to try their delicious food.“

“We had the best pre cruise visit since we were staying nearby at a hotel. Both bartenders were excellent and the regular customers! Made us “southerners” feel comfy and offered up ideas and suggestions of navigating the concrete jungle! If we ever return to NY, we will definitely be back. Awesome food! Awesome service! Excellent drinks. Made our trip!!“
