“Staff was friendly and very involved on the time we spent. Our instructor was very helpful and made it easy for us to understand how we kept score. We opened a tab and it was a pleasant atmosphere. Music wasn't to loud that you couldn't talk. Every lane was safe as they had cages and made sure people threw in their own caged lane. Overall I'd rate this place 9 out of 10”
“On my visit to NY, I went to Brooklyn and discovered Bar Mario, a bar that has all the magic you're looking for, with excellent service down to the last detail. It offers a variety of drinks and delicious prepared dishes. The menu is incredible, I highly recommend it.
I will definitely be back
Thank you so much!!”

“Lore is an absolute gem in Brooklyn! The food is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every dish tasting fresh and unique. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Perfect for a special night out or a casual dinner—highly recommend!”
“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing”
“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)”

“Ever since I found this lovely place a few years ago, it has been me and my family’s absolute favorite! Ricardo’s special cocktail Rixway is my go-to and Elena’s cooking is just phenomenal. Their food, drinks, and service all together make this restaurant so special. Whenever we go, we can feel their love and dedication in everything they prepare. Love this place, Elena and Ricardo so much!”
“You get proper portions without premium pricing. Butcher Grill House boasts elegant surroundings. I've tested several menu items and found decent quality. Workers are pleasant and solution-oriented. I appreciate their consistency and recommend them.”
“Stop reading this review, make your reservation and just go. It's 200% worth the visit. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. Great sake selection and delicious teas.”
“The Nook has been my go-to coffee shop for years, and it never disappoints. The space is cozy and comfortable, perfect for working during the day or just hanging out with friends. It can get pretty crowded on weekdays, so I recommend getting there early if you want to grab a good spot. What really makes The Nook stand out are the extras beyond just great coffee and food (which are both consistently solid). They host craft nights, comedy shows, chess games, and more in the evenings and on weekends, which makes it feel like more than just a café—it’s a little community hub.
If you’re looking for a place that feels warm, welcoming, and always buzzing with energy, The Nook is it.”
“Awesome atmosphere..great drinks. delious food. Bella our waitress was sweet polite and very attentive. I recommend this spot for a good time.”
“I really love frutango, I have been coming here for a few months now and the guy with the beard is AMAZING super fast and friendly! I get a smoothie every time he is working because he always provides a great and pleasant experience!”
“EVERYTHING SPREAD THE WORD THIS PLACE IS ALL 10s Food fresh Great atmosphere Friendly staff Cozy Food OFF THE HOOK yummy Nice cocktails and selection of top shelf GET HERE AND TREAT YOURSELF”
“Whewwwwweee did I enjoy myself!
First of all, it's gorgeous, so sunshine-y and green. We sat at the bar and the service was great. We ordered the cantaloupe slushies and they were so, so good! They weren't overly strong + they mix them themselves, just a few ingredients. The guac was a little small but delicious. The pork tacos were pretty expensive for 2, I thought, until I tasted them. WOW, so good. We were so busy catching up, we didn't realize they'd closed to get ready for dinner. They emphasized we hadn't overstayed our welcome, we could stay as long as we needed.
And the disco-themed restroom + playlist? Excellente”
“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.”

“This Thi restaurant in Brooklyn was so delicious if you like Thi give this a go. Wednesday 40% off wine. It'scalled Lingo. The food was so exciting and balanced flavors! Their bold original menu reflects a deep love of flavors as well as an educated chef who pulls off their amazing flavors. Can't recommend enough!”

“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!”

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!”
“Came here for my anniversary dinner and was blown away by Breeze (pun intended). Easily some of, if not the best Sichuan food we’ve ever had. I got the Winter Frost #2 cocktail and I wasn’t sure what type of flavor I was expecting but it didn’t taste like what I expected in a good way! The cocktail had a mildly sweet, light but depth in flavor profile.
The ginger sauce green beans were some of the best green beans I’ve ever tasted. The sauce they used was addicting. Second favorite item was the diced chicken with chili pepper, which was super spicy but absolutely delicious. But to be honest all of the dishes were home runs! I was just here last night and I’m already daydreaming about coming back to try more dishes.
Also the service was exceptional. The restaurant was full and there were only two guys to cover the front of the house (the hostess, waiter, bartender, and bus boy). They definitely had their hand fulls but still were efficient. Since it was our anniversary dinner they ended up surprising us with a pumpkin rice cake dessert on the house which we thought was the sweetest gesture. I couldn’t have been happier since I absolutely love rice cakes 😋”
“Went for brunch. Good food but not great, pricey, with slightly over salted ham in the Croque Madame for my liking. We had a reservation for 4 but that changed to 6. They really couldn't accommodate that change, but it was last minute so I don't hold that against them. Very busy place with lots of energy.”

“We decided to check out this bar while staying in the area over the weekend and didn’t know what to expect but were blown away!
Amazing decor, great ambiance, it was packed and lively on a Saturday night around 10pm in contrast to the quiet streets of downtown brooklyn. We absolutely loved the Raspberry Shrub drink - the white vinegar added a little bit of a sour kick and made the cocktail one of the most memorable we’ve had. Super unique menu and fun food items. Great service and vibes. We’ll be back!”
“This Italian restaurant is one of the few places in NYC where you’ll find rabbit on the menu—and it’s prepared exceptionally well. The pear cake was another highlight, perfectly balanced and memorable. The food remains consistently excellent, served in a warm, authentic setting. Also, returning after several years, we were thrilled to find the same high quality and familiar menu we remembered.”

“EVERYTHING……they are very professional and an expert in their field of work. I’ve been going to LGVB for years and they have NEVER disappointed me or my family. Anything you want they got it and make sure your vision is reflected thru whatever product you purchase. Betsy and Roy are the best along with their entire staff.”
“We love Campania! We visit every time we are in Brooklyn. The food is always fresh and delicious. We get a pizza and pasta each time we go and we have never been disappointed. Wait staff are prompt and personable. We love the space itself, it can be a little noisy but it's perfect for a date night or a celebration!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
525 Deli is a gem in Brooklyn! Open 24 hours, it’s always clean and well-maintained, which is so refreshing for a late-night spot. The staff is super friendly, making you feel welcome no matter what time you come in. The food is amazing — from fresh deli sandwiches to hot bites, everything is on point. Plus, they offer beer, liquor, and a wide range of snacks, making it a one-stop shop for whatever you need. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!”
“Not gonna lie … i just like the cleanliness of the place . And the subtle smell of coffee is comforting . Gah damn 1 in the morning and i’m comfy in here lol”

Takeout Restaurants
“Dog Day is a truly special place and the reason I moved to the neighborhood. I otherwise consider myself a vegetarian of 8 years. These hot dogs are divine any time of the year, but here’s my advice:
On a crisp fall day, don’t eat until 2pm. Have two Chicago dogs and a milkshake, then walk through the park. A cure-all.
Last October I had a great conversation with a zombie witch who shared my table. It told me to always, always answer when I hear the hot dogs calling. Sometimes I hear the dog’s call ringing through Greenwood Cemetery treetops at night and I have to wait up all night in a cold sweat praying for noon to arrive.”
“I'd had this place on my list for a long time and finally got the chance to visit! I was not disappointed. We were seated on the outdoor terrace (which was pretty loud and cold, because of the AC). Volume aside, the food was amazing! Standouts: the tiramisu and corn pasta. A great neighbourhood spot, though a little pricey!”
“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.”
“To Dylen James and the Traif Team,
Warm greetings from the couple visiting from Florida! We just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dylen for the amazing recommendations—we made it a point to visit every place you suggested, and each one was absolutely spot on.
Our experience at Traif was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, and the food… wow. Truly top-tier. Hats off to the chef and the entire team—you all delivered a 6-star experience (yes, we’re going beyond 5!).
We’ll definitely be back soon, and next time, we just might call ahead to see if Dylen is working 😊
With appreciation,
Your Florida Fans”
“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙”
“By far my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. I’ve eaten there a few times now and each time is better than the last. Don’t sleep on their orange wines and definitely don’t sleep on the spicier dishes. For my money better than uncle boons / fish cheeks. So so so good! Also fantastic service always!”
“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!”
“No indoor dining because Covid They have taken great care of making a lot of available tables and even have some enclosed outdoor booths. The use of space is pretty amazing and well adapted to the neighborhood They neighborhood is great I saw the prettiest dogs in Brooklyn all walking in full force The place has a friendly family-type vibe Th coworkers are all friendly with each other and warm to their clientele The food is impeccably well prepared, tasty and quite authentically Italian I doubt one could find anything more authentic with such fine ingredients and creatively presented anywhere other than Italy. If you do, let it be known and I’m sure the staff here would feel the kindred spirit of another fine cuisine It’s in the medium-high priced category but it lives up to the prices in its quality Wait staff is genuine and kind and do make a great effort to make one comfortable and enjoy their meal Highly recommend”
“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend”

“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!”
“This is by far the best sushi restaurant we have been to, and I would dare say it’s better than some Michelin star places. Not only is each course extremely unique and full of flavor, from sea urchin, to Wagyu, the service is extremely attentive. The chef that was serving us has been preparing sushi for 30 years and it shows. We were so delighted by our experience - it was truly a huge highlight for us. Skip the hype restaurants and try Ishi instead. We will be back.”
“This restaurant has a beautiful ambience and great service. The Purple Blossom Dumplings were works of art, to the point where we hesitated to destroy them by eating them. And they were tasty, too. I had the sautéed chicken ginger for my main course, and it was flavorful without being too sweet, and had a nice mix of vegetables, chicken, and rice. I loved this restaurant.”
“Food was pretty good only had the pork t taco, shrimp taco and frozen Mojito. The drinks were strong and delicious. The shrimp taco was soo good The pork taco lacked flavor. The ambiance is cool.btje bright walls give it a festive vibe however during the summer there isn't much difference between inside or outside seating. By the time we left our table from inside, our clothes were sticking to our bodies. It's a sauna that with fans that blow hot air with a one working bathroom. Other than that I was satisfied.”
“Burger was good but not amazing. Short rib su louvre was good but fries were t the best side for the dish. The lobster orzo was surprisingly underseasoned. Our server was super friendly.”
“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer.

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!”
“Clover Hill exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and creative. I feel there is always one dish in a tasting menu that is a disappointment or lack luster but that was complete untrue here — each dish was a star.
The service was excellent and the staff was so kind and accommodating. The pace of the meal was also spot on.
The wine pairings were exceptional!! We have strong opinions in this area and were surprised and delighted by Debbie’s choices. Highly recommend adding the pairing
Thank you to the clover hill team for taking such great care of us!”
“An incredible dining experience in Brooklyn. The tasting menu feels like a theatrical performance — beautifully choreographed from start to finish. The French-Japanese fusion dishes are refined, balanced, and full of surprises. Service is attentive, the atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, and the location is very convenient by subway (but parking is nearly impossible). The duck pie is a stunning presentation, though the other dishes impressed me more in flavor. Perfect for a special occasion — they even offer a small cake if noted for a celebration. Would definitely return to try a new menu.”
“I had been wanting to try HOUSE for a while now, being a regular shopper at Dashi Okume. However, had been wary of fine dining experiences in Greenpoint after trying 2 so-so places that privileged novelty over flavor. Well let me tell you, HOUSE did not disappoint.
Picture this. You arrive in a quiet street in Greenpoint, with the typical warehouse-y yet clean, modern and minimalist vibe. You see the interior through giant bay windows of a dimly lit store with Japanese products and ceramics. You see people waiting inside and other patrons dining at the café. By then the store is closed, so you ring the intercom to get in. You wait to be called to the HOUSE, in the back of the store. It feels like you are at your friend's house, and your friend is a sophisticated person with a beautiful house and he cooks for you. The atmosphere is quiet but elevated. There are 10 seats. And you are hosted by 4-5 people. It feels luxurious. You may start the dinner as perfect strangers, but you certainly make friends along the experience.
And the food is incredible. Your friend is an amazing cook. From start to finish, the story is coherent, with subtle development and transitions that never miss a beat or take you somewhere uncomfortable. Flavors are predominantly Japanese forward with some international ingredients and techniques. Noting for example the Monaka filled with ricotta and corn or the french tuile on top of a burrata with berries, reminiscent of Scandinavian flavors.
The highlight of the menu for me was the noodles. With a fragrant Dashi and rich egg noodles covered in egg yolk and fish roe, the final dish on the meal is an unmistakably Japanese grand finale, with an explosion of flavors.
Fantastic experience. Thank you team.”
“My boyfriend secretly booked Ume for my birthday/our anniversary celebration, without even knowing I’d been dying to go.
The garden seating is beautiful despite being a bit too shiny. The whole ambiance is so zen and relaxing which makes it perfect for a special occasion.
Huge shoutout to the impeccable service: we were 30 minutes late stuck at traffic, but they still graciously held our table. They even surprised us with vanilla gelato with honey and kinako on the house, easily one of the most delicious scoops I’ve ever had.
*Sushi Set $78 pp
It was such a fun and interactive experience making our own hand rolls from a sashimi platter. We loved being able to enjoy everything at our own pace, customizing each piece with a variety of dipping sauces and special salts. It really encouraged me to slow down, savor every bite, and fully appreciate each piece.
*Literally Everything Don $60
We were greedy to try more so we got one more kaishindon. Expensive but you get what you pay for: uni, ikura, scallop, toro, a5 miyazaki wagyu, caviar, and more. Every bite was pure luxury and satisfying. I only hoped I could only get this don as I was too full after finishing the sushi set, but they require at least one sushi set per person.
*King Salmon Nigiri
To be completely transparent, my bf found a small bone in his sashimi. He was given a completely new set, and they even treated us to king salmon nigiri. We really appreciated how proactive and thoughtful they were so it didn’t affect our overall experience at all.”
“Came here on 10/17/25, service was amazing, dishes were to die for and drinks were amazing. Everything is so good and I definitely recommend coming here. If you come here please try the meringue angel foodcake, trout and cotton candy drink. FYI: THE WHOLE COURSE TAKES 2 TO 3 HOURS SO BE READY TO WAIT. In general though this restaurant is amazing! 🔥👌🔥”
“I’ve been to this place twice, and both visits were excellent. I tried the $78, 11-course omakase and the $118, 15-course option. While both were great, I preferred the 15 courses because of the wagyu—it was a standout.
Each piece was expertly prepared by the chef and packed with flavor. Even the ginger was unique, served in cube form, which set it apart from other places. The green tea ice cream was also a highlight, really delicious.
I’ll definitely be returning!”
“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience”

Cheap Eats
“My beautiful Grand daughter studied for the GMAT there. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich. The bathroom was nice I washed my hands. My beautiful grand daughter took a shot of whiskey then rode a bus LOL anyhoo great time in Brooklyn for all it was also Halloween and this fun loving grandma dressed as a cat. Then I chased my husband Roger around for some fun LOL I recommend coming here during the day esp sundays very nice reminds me of Ireland and I have ancestors there”
“Best shawarmas and super friendly owner! I am so so happy to have such good shawarmas so close to my place. I love shawarmas so you can trust me, also other stuffs are really good too. My vegetarian friend loves the fried cauliflower sandwich and falafel sandwich too! Great fries too! I rarely write reviews but this deserves one. Will definitely try more items in the future.”
“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.”
“We dropped by Ace's Pizza around 3pm., Brooklyn, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 5th Ave NYC and it was such a great experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating—amazing service all around. We ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Caesar Salad, and a 14-inch Pepperoni Pizza. Every single item was delicious! The quality of the food was outstanding. The pepperoni pizza especially stood out—crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. We really enjoyed everything we ordered, and the overall vibe of the place made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and craving great pizza!”

“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!”
“The French toast with vanilla cream was AMAZING, probably the best dessert I’ve had all year. Goat gouda quiche was also splendid. Lots of natural lighting from the windows around as well.”
“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.”

“Delicious food I had in long time with exclusive tast of fruits herbs and meat”
“The food is absolutely delicious and it comes with a big portion! Dunken noodle with crispy duck and the Wagyu fried rice wins the game! The staff is also super friendly in helping and recommending dishes to us! Definitely coming back again for Thai food!”
“The food was out of this world. Very fast service and attentive staff.
The restaurant is fairly small, so tables are close to each other and we overheard the conversation of other guests. It didn’t bother us too much but perhaps this is something to keep in mind if you come here for a business meeting.
Overall, very enjoyable dining experience.”
“Everything was great. They brought us a delicious goat cheese ball dish to start. They also asked us if we'd like to move to a booth instead of the table in the middle which we loved. Cant wait to come back”
“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.”
“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small”
“love this place every time -- perfectly executed dishes, inventive menu with classics, fun selection of drinks. staff is always prompt, friendly, knowledgeable.”
“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙”
“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!”
“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!”
“Was strolling in the area when I noticed this joint bumping.
Loved the cocktail.
Lamb hummus, warm and scrumptious with prob the one of the best pita bread I’ve ever had.
Octopus skewers were cooked to perfection. Tender and flavourful
Snapper ceviche with a spicy twist.
I’m spoilt tonight.”
“Loved the ambiance while we had dinner. Modern eclectic aesthetic with live music too. Delicious cocktails and fantastic small plates and dim sum. Highly recommend the cucumbers, fries, and dumplings with chili oil.”
“Sosy is our server and he was sooooo amazing and super duper friendly. We got a tomahawk for 2, fries, and mixed greens and more! It was great experience and it was phenomenal. Everything that we ordered was 10/10. I'm very happy that my husband found this place. We both enjoyed it so much”
“Fantabulous Ambience. Lively and lovely staff. Great food. Loved everything.”
“Great little Mediterranean spot in Brooklyn. You might want to make a reservation if you want a table because it was extremely busy even during the week. I ended up sitting at the bar but I didn't mind because I got great service. They even have Turkish coffee. So awesome. Everything I ate was amazing and they have vegan options. The wines by the glass are excellent. Highly recommended!!”
“Absolutely delicious food and drinks! I highly recommend the volcano wings for appetizer and colossal crab meat fried rice and the giant river prawn curry for entrees. Portions are great for sharing too!”
“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.”
“Had a group dinner for a friend's birthday and absolutely LOVED the place! The ambiance was so cool and I could have stayed there all nice. Friendly attentive service. Great neighborhood spot!”
“Lovely neighborhood restaurant with friendly staff. I could just eat the warm foccacia and be call it a meal. Delish! We got a variety of pizzas including the vegan one...they'll bring us back here.”
“Hands-down, the best tiki in NYC. If you are an authentic follower, then this is your only Stop. Gracious service. Great drinks. Amazing atmosphere. Worth the wait.”
“Last minute decided to make a reservation here , I’ve pretty much tried all the omakases in the area and while all are pretty good, I appreciate that LUYA has a cocktail and natural wine menu. Sometimes a girl is just not in the mood for plain sake. For $89, thought the menu was pretty good. Our chef was so engaging and checked on everyone constantly. Very nice interactions”
“One of the best meals I’ve had out in a long time. Everything here from the service to the ambience was amazing! For appetizers we had the biyebarir fish fry and the aloo chaat, both were spicy but we found ourselves wanting more. The entrees stepped it up a notch with the prawn malai kari and the kosha mangshu which were 100% worth coming back for. Our server Zaraith was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire meal and the manager Joy was very hospitable. Will be back soon for sure, thank you Unapologetic for the experience!”
“Monzu was extremely attentive and offered a great dining experience along with great recommendations! The food was amazing highlighting the butter chicken, rice pudding and their mango lassis! Would definitely come again :)”
“This restaurant has a beautiful ambience and great service. The Purple Blossom Dumplings were works of art, to the point where we hesitated to destroy them by eating them. And they were tasty, too. I had the sautéed chicken ginger for my main course, and it was flavorful without being too sweet, and had a nice mix of vegetables, chicken, and rice. I loved this restaurant.”
“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone”
“We decided to check out this bar while staying in the area over the weekend and didn’t know what to expect but were blown away!
Amazing decor, great ambiance, it was packed and lively on a Saturday night around 10pm in contrast to the quiet streets of downtown brooklyn. We absolutely loved the Raspberry Shrub drink - the white vinegar added a little bit of a sour kick and made the cocktail one of the most memorable we’ve had. Super unique menu and fun food items. Great service and vibes. We’ll be back!”
“Panzon is such a gem in greenpoint. Incredible cocktails and food, the vibes are everything you’d want. Love having drinks outside on the patio. 10/10 recommend”
“We hosted our wedding reception at Cafe Mars and it was perfection! Jordan and Paul worked with us to create an ideal menu. So much time and attention was paid to every detail. Our guests raved about the food and the decor, and we felt that we had an evening that really represented our style. Thank you so much!”
“Innovative, delicious dishes, thoughtful service, beautiful atmosphere, and an incredible mission. I particularly enjoyed the beef tartare, chawanmushi, and sweet potatoes.”
“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!”
“Went inside on a whim and so glad we did. The handrolls were incredible. The fish was great quality and creativity was next level. Our favorites were the xo scallop (must get), tuna poke, salmon serrano, aka ebi, toro scallion, and spicy lobster. Not as big of a fan of cooked/fried fish in sushi, but tried the coconut shrimp and spicy crab dynamite due to the many recommendations, and thought they were just okay. Also didn’t think the caviar starter was anything special.”
“Food was great! And bonus, the husband/wife team at Concrete were so welcoming and made you feel like they had you over for dinner.”
“An incredible dining experience in Brooklyn. The tasting menu feels like a theatrical performance — beautifully choreographed from start to finish. The French-Japanese fusion dishes are refined, balanced, and full of surprises. Service is attentive, the atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, and the location is very convenient by subway (but parking is nearly impossible). The duck pie is a stunning presentation, though the other dishes impressed me more in flavor. Perfect for a special occasion — they even offer a small cake if noted for a celebration. Would definitely return to try a new menu.”
“The workers here are really kind.They go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Matteo especially is simply the best. Its rare to find this level of service but it is consistent. We have visisted four times already!”
“Great food!. Im usually not one for Chinese food but had read about the spicy fish and wanted to try. I was not disappointed. The fish was incredible as were the greens. The pudding dessert witb red bean and sticky rice was perfect especially after the spicy fish :)
Service was friendly and food came put quick.”
“This is by far the best sushi restaurant we have been to, and I would dare say it’s better than some Michelin star places. Not only is each course extremely unique and full of flavor, from sea urchin, to Wagyu, the service is extremely attentive. The chef that was serving us has been preparing sushi for 30 years and it shows. We were so delighted by our experience - it was truly a huge highlight for us. Skip the hype restaurants and try Ishi instead. We will be back.”
“Very artsy store featuring a wide variety of home goods and art pieces. There’s a restaurant that offers Japanese set meals but warning, it was super expensive. It was high quality ingredients but would not try more than once.”
“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!”

“From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Now onto the food — hands down some of the freshest, most flavorful seafood I’ve ever had. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and take pride in what they sell.”
“The food at Djondjon is spot on.... This restaurant is a jewel. The food is amazing, and the hospitality is off the chart. There is free jazz often enough. The quality far surpasses the price. I love their pasta, their fish and their goats which come in various varieties. Their appetizers are yummy. I will continue to patronize this place. I had my Cabrit boukannen ( grilled goat) and it really pleased my taste buds.”
“I had the pleasure of dining at Vera's, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect. The highlight was the food. The barbecue chicken and sweet ribs were savory on the outside and juicy on the inside—mouthwatering. The collard greens and cabbage were seasoned to perfection. What I appreciated most was the authentic soul food flavor that reminded me of home. Great care and tradition are poured into every dish. Whether you're a longtime fan of soul food or trying it for the first time, Vera's is a must-visit. I’ll be returning soon! I highly recommend it for anyone craving hearty, flavorful soul food in a cozy setting.”
“We had a birthday party for our twin daughters' 30th birthday at Leroy's in Brooklyn for 13 people and the staff went out of their way to make it special. There was an initial snafu with our reservation. but they got to work, reorganized the seating for us and were phenomenal for the rest of the evening-- wonderful place and a great evening - shout out to Wilmar and his crew.”

“Amazing experience as per usual. Food is delicious, the restaurant itself is rustic and screams old school nyc, location is unbeatable. Our waiter, Allen, was great, sweet, and kind- if he's not, he should be a fixture there. He elevated our experience. Thank you!”
“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!”
“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the cornbread was so good coming from a place called “Cornbread Brooklyn “
But there I was being assailed by the flavors and softness of their cornbread. I spent a few years living down South, and I can’t get southern food this good down there.
Their fried chicken was flavorful and crispy.
The Mac and cheese was maybe a little drier than ya mom’s mac on Thanksgiving, but if she brought this out you’d still have seconds.
And that Southern Twang was the Twangiest.
Will definitely drop by again”
“Had to visit the original location of my favorite chilli dogs! Love those classic fries as well.
Great snap to the dogs and the famous chilli recipe did not disappoint. Fries were on point as well.
Very quiet because I went during the off-season, but it was a Birthday treat and did not disappoint! 😁”
“Nice Place Food was fantastic. Oxtail delicious. Highly recommend. Bar Cocktail's are a disappointment. After sending the first Drink back the 2nd wasn't much better. Waitress explained they are prefixed. Please invest in a good Bartender who can make fresh Drinks. Thank you. Would love to come back .”

“Wasn’t a huge fan of the wine glass selections BUT the martinis and food was incredible. We had the steak frites and chicken burger, followed by their chocolate mousse desert - all exceptionally delicious. Price was very reasonable. Atmosphere is great and would highly recommend a visit.”
“We read about these saucy sandwiches in the NY Times, and they definitely are worth the hype!
We had the pulled pork and Mexican cheese sandwiches drenched in sauce. Absolutely delicious!
The bread is apparently custom made just for Macario and the fillings are very flavorful. The chicharrones with guacamole were also fluffy and crispy. The staff are lovely and are happy to make suggestions.
Happy to have a new favorite sandwich place.”
