Off The Brook | Bistro & Cocktails

We went to Off the Brook for Easter brunch. Our cocktails (one was made with pancake and syrup whiskey?) were creative and delicious. The food was fresh and delicious. There was a $1.50 up-charge per egg, but that's clearly indicated on the menu.

Servers were friendly but had no sense of urgency and took forever to get anything we asked for which was very frustrating. Food was mediocre but Gnocchi was not edible. They should have took it off the check. The best thing about the night was the live music. Will not be back. Place needs management there on a Saturday night.

Shame on You! Buyer Beware.

Off the Brook does not adhere to this law passed February 2024!

A law that took effect Sunday requires restaurants to either set one price on menus and menu boards, with a processing fee already factored into the stated charges, or to present two prices, one for paying cash and the other for paying with a credit or charge card. The information must be provided to customers before they order rather than presented to them when they pay.

Nice little hidden gem along Merrick Ave. The food was very good and the wait staff was nice but they seemed a little understaffed for a Saturday night. It took a long time to get service but when they did show up they were friendly! I'd def go back for another time

We went to Off the Brook for my Daughter-in-law's birthday. We were very impressed with the food and our server Jackie. Jackie was very nice and attentive. I was impressed that Jackie was able to substitute the side dishes that came with the mains to meet our dietary restrictions. We are looking forward to going again.

Only one waitress so service was slow, waited 30 min to get a drink and menu after sitting. Food was just ok, nothing great

Came to watch my friend perform acoustic guitar Saturday night. Thanks for having him! Restaurant is a cute little cozy spot! First time here and we enjoyed our food. It tasted great. Enjoyed the wine flight too. The wait staff was friendly where we sat by the bar.

What an amazing hidden gem! The service provided by owner operator Jackie, and server Anthony is only outdone by the amazing food and drinks!
Whether you are local or have to make the trip this spot is 100% worth the visit! The caprese empanadas appetizer was incredible, and the Cavatelli Sausage & Peas was easily one of the best I’ve ever had! Both IMO a must try.

Went for brunch today and bingo. It was very busy, but service was good and so was the food. Took my kids and they enjoyed it. Can’t wait to go back.
