“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“We had an amazing night at Aria on Valentine’s Day!! We were a large group who felt welcomed and appreciated. Owner made constant check ins, he also had a pretty great sense of humor and felt like an old friend!! We loved the wine suggestions and the foot was amazing! The decor was perfect setting for our celebration!! We will definitely be back to this spot again!!“

“Beautiful meal. Usually I’m skeptical about Chinese fusion, but everything was executed perfectly at Lei. The celtuce had a delightful crunch, which was paired nicely with a rich, but light and slightly tangy sauce. The Cabbage with yuba and morels was also very warming and had a great depth of flavour without being too heavy. We also ordered the shao bing, which, while simple was delightfully crunchy and paired nicely with the slab of butter inside. The mains, however, were the real star of the show. Many come for the sweet and sour beef short rib, and I will say it’s a must order. It pairs wonderfully with the side of rice, and it is very tender and flavourful. The Hand-rolled cat’s ear noodle with lamb braised in cumin and tomato was also very special. The noodles come out perfectly al dente, and the broth is, again, rich and fragrant without being overbearing. Surprisingly, I also really liked the Eight treasure rice pudding with sticky toffee. It was a great twist on a traditional Chinese dessert, and the slightly salty caramel paired with the ice cream and sticky rice was a nice conclusion to the meal. The wines on offer were also excellent, especially the dessert wine. We tried a South African straw wine, which was very very special and unique. Overall one of my favourite meals in New York as of yet. Very innovative, very hard to book, but very worth it.“

“Wonderful experience! The shrimp was delicious, the bread was fresh and perfectly balanced with the oils the shrimps are cooked in. The fish was perfectly cooked and you can’t skip the devils food cake! Sat at the bar and bartender was welcoming and very helpful as we assessed our choices.“

“My second time at Justine’s, and it continues to impress. I love their creative menu, which changes with the seasons and puts a real emphasis on fresh ingredients. This time I started with a lovely tamarind crudo before moving on to a wonderfully tender chicken served with morels and wilted ramps. Both dishes were excellent and really showcased what they do so well here. Service is always great, and I also appreciate their thoughtful wine program. They have a really nice selection of wines by the glass and are refreshingly generous with their pours. Just a really solid neighborhood restaurant that I’m always happy to return to.“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“Amazing atmosphere, excellent service, great wine selection. The food is delicious, despite the small kitchen. It feels like a neighborhood spot that people from around the world have heard about — regulars and adventurers coming together for a great glass of wine and a sensuous vibe.

Harlem and France continue the special relationship they’ve had for 100 years with a spot like this.“

“Amazing and interesting menu. Each dish was exciting and fun. We realized after our meal that we accidentally ordered and ate all vegetarian. Get the cheezits and the squash rings! The schnitzel was delicious as was the carrot hummus. Whatever that chocolate caramel dessert with marshmallow on top is… GET IT! Maybe get two.“

“I made the trek from Manhattan to try out Liar Liar. It definitely didn't disappoint. The food was beyond spectacular and the service was great. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles, they were the best I've ever had. The space itself is beautiful as well. A lot of original exposed brick and creative decorating that make you feel right at home. This place was built and designed with love, you feel it the second you walk in.“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“This is the cutest wine bar ever!!! It’s so cozy inside and the wine selection is great. I recommend getting a chilled red. It was packed when we got there, but the staff were so sweet and able to accommodate my group. Such an amazing neighborhood spot.“

“Amazing place. Wine. Chocolate. Food. gf designated!!! Great atmosphere. And the service is WONDERFUL!!!! (shout out to Lex, our fantastic server who es so friendly helpful and fun). Highly recommend. You will enjoy!!! 🐈‍⬛💕“

“Excelente, very nice, lo recomiendo!“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn. As soon as you enter, it feels comfortable and warm. The thoughtfully restored space, with its old world character and open, bright feel, is one of the reasons. The friendly staff is the other. There’s no pretension here.

It’s fantastic, simple food made exceptionally well, with talent and creativity, always using fresh ingredients. Definitely try a salad or two while you’re there. The pizza and fresh pastas are well worth a try as well. I’m vegetarian, so I can’t directly speak for the meat or seafood dishes, but my friends and family have never been disappointed.

I’m a self dubbed tiramisu connoisseur and a loyalist to traditionally made tiramisu, and theirs is tried and true. I also love that the staff have gotten to know me and my family. It gives that extra added touch of a true neighborhood restaurant. It’s always a warm, happy experience, and my family and I have created many memories there.“

“★★★★★

After an amazing day party at Superior Ingredients, we wanted somewhere intimate, elevated, and relaxing to unwind before continuing the night — and was the perfect choice.

The atmosphere here is incredible. Dim lighting, beautiful music at the perfect volume, effortlessly stylish crowd, and a warm energy that instantly makes you want to stay longer. The space feels classy and romantic without ever feeling pretentious. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the experience.

The wine selection was outstanding. We spent the night exploring multiple imported European wines and loved how curated and unique everything felt. Pair that with the cheese boards and small plates and it becomes one of the best date-night wine spots in Brooklyn.

What really stood out though was the hospitality. The host and entire staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable, and gave first-class service from start to finish. You can tell there’s real passion behind the experience they create.

Perfect for romantic dates, intimate conversations, catching up with friends, or just having a more sophisticated night out in Williamsburg. Easily one of the best wine bar experiences we’ve had in NYC and definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to. 🍷✨“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“Vanguard on the Upper West Side has become a staple for us since we moved to this area 4 years ago. The interior is so charming, the wine selection is always great (and rotates every season), and the folks who work there are absolute gems! Getting to know Isabel and Jacob behind the bar has been such a joy, and they always give the best recommendations. Don’t sleep on the charcuterie board and other light snacks - they’re all delish!“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“This place has the dining texture of a Paris Bistro. The execution of dishes is classic French with asian & latin flavor profiles mingled in. Duck Rillets GET IT! Beet Salad. Order 2. This place doesnt miss many if any steps. Tight & Thoughtful wine-list excellent service. Also ask the knowledgeable staff about the speakeasy scene nearby….“

“Perfect experience! Exquisite wines, delicious food, attentive service. Some places should be much more hyped than they are, such as this one!

We ordered the duck pastrami and the mushroom dumplings, both were delicious! Bread was so fresh.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“I went to Ella Social for the first time on Friday, December 19, 2025. The food was superbly seasoned and delicious! The service was top notch and the ambience was great.“

“10/10 only amazing things to say!!

I’ve been here a handle of times and it never disappoints. The service is impeccable and the vibes are great.

Beef tar tar is one of my favorites out there
The leeks is incredible and a must
The crab avocado yummm
The egg anchovies salad is a must as well

For mains
The steak is easy and great.
People love the chicken it’s not my absolute favorite to recommend, would take the duck over it.“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“One of the of absolute best places we visit in Manhattan, super cute and charming. Incredibly friendly staff and very delicious drinks. The decor is super cute and my whole experience there was great 💜💜💜💜“

“Cozy wine bar, so glad we stepped by before the rush. The service is attentive and the ambiance was warming. Felt like having dinner with friends at home. Wine pours are generous. Only had the snacks, def come back to try more options. Very clean establishment. Ask for Luca, very informative on wine selection, so very friendly.“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“Addictive Wine & Tapas is a great place to go for an after-work drink, or for a light meal with great tapas. The wine selection is extensive, the service is great, and the personal attention from the owners makes everyone feel special.“

“We ABSOLUTELY loved it. The food was fantastic so delicious especially mama’s bread!! The wines were divine 🍷 🍷 😋 The owner was gracious and the service was awesome- we will be back!!“

“There were no alligators in sight, unfortunately, but the service was excellent. Emma and Lena (I think) were very welcoming. I was the first drip coffee order of the day (this was around 4pm), but they were still accommodating. Convenient location, a crisp air temperature, a carefully curated bookshop. Bread upon request. Also milk and/or cream upon request. And bathroom upon request. Good service, whether requested or not. Would recommend“

“Lovely little place to have some wine and little bites or plates.
In Spain we are used to small places where you stay at the bar without sitting having dinner, a glass of wine or whatever; it was really nice having this experience in New York.

Food is good, wine as well, a bit expensive (portions are small… cheese board is a bit poor), but wait… it’s NYC it’s kind of normal.

The guys at the bar kind and smiley.

We enjoyed a lot our night and we were lucky to find a spot!“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“CARTA Wine Bar New York is a cozy, intimate spot perfect for unwinding over a great glass of wine. The selection feels thoughtful and well-curated, with options for every taste. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, ideal for quiet conversations. It’s a charming place to slow down and enjoy the moment.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“If I could give this place 1000 stars, I would. Gyasi and Earl made the whole experience unforgettable — amazing service, great energy, and they truly know their wine. The wine selection was incredible, and every recommendation was perfect.
And can we talk about the apricot jam?! I don’t know what magic is in that jar, but paired with the cheese and charcuterie it was INSANE. I’m still thinking about it. The food was completely out of this world — every plate was better than the last.
The whole vibe was fun, warm, and the kind of place you go for “one glass” and end up staying all night. Already planning my next visit!“

“Lots of fun….Get Jen as your waiter …1 of a kind!“

“The best wine bar in the West Village, a true neighborhood gem with an impeccably curated wine list and every bottle somehow feels like the perfect choice. The team is warm, knowledgeable, and led by real wine expertise without a hint of pretension.

Come for a glass, stay for a bottle, and enjoy delicious food too. So grateful to have a place this special in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“We always have a great experience at St Jardim. The menu is excellent with a good range and everything we had was really well done. The service is always very attentive and helpful, especially with the wine selection which has nice depth. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, which makes it a comfortable place to spend an evening.“

“We dined at Farra during a later seating, and it immediately felt more like an intimate theater than a restaurant. The open kitchen is the stage, the chef at center, while the staff moves with precise, almost balletic rhythm. Watching the room flow was captivating in itself.

The food was exceptional—each dish visually composed with clear intention. We started with a raw tuna preparation that delivered a refined balance of spice and texture. The standout of the evening was the ravioli, coiled elegantly in a comforting miso broth. The mild shrimp filling allowed the deep umami of the broth to shine, creating a dish that was both thoughtful and memorable.

The duck showcased subtle asian influences, with a peanut layer and grapefruit providing a striking contrast of richness and brightness.

Dessert was also visually pleasing and had a wonderful taste as well.

Service elevated the experience even further. Sage and Heather were warm, approachable, and genuinely engaging, with an impressive grasp of the wine list and intuitive pairing recommendations.

Some come to New York for Broadway—we come for food. Farra delivers a performance worth applauding: beautifully synchronized, expressive, and deeply satisfying from start to finish.“

“Wow! While waiting for my dinner reservation, I googled Wine Bars near me and Brick came up as an option. With such great reviews, I had to try and it didn't disappoint.

Fernando was beyond friendly and helpful. A great selection of wine and the goat cheese was on point.

This is an unpretentious wine bar where you feel comfortable. Service was great without being overbearing. I loved it!“
