“We came with a group of 6 for just axe throwing to celebrate our friend who recently graduated from Basic Training. Instead we did axe throwing, ninja stars, sword throwing, and archery. Loved our coach Joseph, he was an amazing help with teaching us the basic for each! Definitely would come again”
“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist.
We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant.
Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.”
“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.”

“Absolutely delicious drinks and food. I got the “hangover” pasta gluten free and it was some of the best gluten free pasta I’ve had recently. The staff was also really friendly and nice. Excited to go back and try more”
“I had a wonderful dinner wih my parents at this restaurant. The food was delicious; everything that we ordered was perfectly prepared, very well seasoned and total joy to eat. The service was top-notch, and the food recommendations given by our server were spot-on. I can definitely recommend this place.”

“I'm Italian (from Italy) and I LOVE this place. It's absolutely authentic Italian, very cute restaurant inside and the owner is super kind, fun and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have real and authentic Italian food!!”
“The perfect place to host a birthday dinner with close ones!
I stumbled upon this place mid Febraury as I looked to celebrate my big 30. Fumio, the owner, was incredibly kind and responsive, helping me plan out the event and recommending the best dishes/platters for a group of about 15 people. The space has a very calm and artsy vibe to it, and I love the floor seating style which allowed for a much more flowy/relaxed vibe to the evening. The drinks were absolutely superb, and Fumio even let me play my own music playlist and have a projector with a photo slideshow in the background. This was such a memorable and lovely evening - big thanks to Fumio and his wife, Miho, for making this possibe. I cannot wait to come back one day for a drink and meal!”
“Best prime rib I have ever had in a restaurant EVER!!!!
And the service is outstanding. I always have so many questions about what’s in this and what’s in that and the servers are patient and take their time to understand and make sure that I’m only eating what I want to be eating.
The only reason I read the atmosphere of three is because it is SO loud. I know many restaurants like that type of atmosphere, but it makes it very challenging to have a conversation with people next to me.”
“I was craving a Greek gyro, and this place hit the spot :) Overall, it was tasty! I’d give it a 7.5/10. The pita sandwich came with tomato, onions, tzatziki, and on top, some fries! My only critiques were that it would be nice if it had lettuce, and the fries could’ve been a bit crispier because they already started out pretty soft and the travel home didn’t help.”
“I loved it! The everything is great! I could have stayed forever but I can’t because it is common knowledge. Also the name is all correct because the pasta IS al dente!😋🍝 Also I really enjoyed the service, the people are all so kind!💕”
“Awesome atmosphere..great drinks. delious food. Bella our waitress was sweet polite and very attentive. I recommend this spot for a good time.”
“I went in here twice the staff was pretty cool. Both time the drink i order were good a little sweet though. I really liked the coconut one but when I went back they didn't have it. Also pretty cool if you have a membership they give you a percentage off. If I go back let's see if the service is different.”
“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”
“Beautiful food and very sweet people! Came here for a birthday and they really took care of us from start to finish. Such a lovely evening! Can't recommend enough”
“Wow! 🔥 This place was absolutely incredible.
The food was beyond delectable—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. And honestly, the food deserves to be mentioned twice because it was just that good.
The service struck the perfect balance between warm, welcoming hospitality and true professionalism. The atmosphere is the ideal blend of chic and rustic, creating a cozy yet elevated dining experience.
We had a small mix-up with our reservation, but the manager handled it graciously and quickly got everything sorted out, which made an already great experience even better.
Part of me wants to keep this gem a secret, but it’s too good not to share. Then again, I don’t think they’re hurting for customers—they were completely packed on a Monday evening, and after dining here, I can see exactly why.”

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.
Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.
Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.”
“Lived nearby when this unassuming place opened and we were very impressed. Excellent food and very professional service each time we went which became often. Not surprisingly this great restaurant has outlasted its notable nearby neighboring spots. We always felt welcome and got good value for the money. Now I wanna go back soon!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing”
“Visited RAS 3 times within 1 calendar week. With each visit the food got better. Service was amazing, was accommodated with bar seating when walking in. Ingrid was so helpful with recommending menu items, and answering all questions that we had. Will definitely be back, and will recommend to my family and friends.”

“6 Restaurant provided the perfect birthday dinner.
Led by creative flavour— the textural experience of the prix fixe & wine pairing really stood out.
Our server massively brightened the evening with her thought and care.
Can’t wait to visit the next time I’m in town!”

“My husband and I have been going to Daphne’s since we moved back to Brooklyn. While food and service have been excellent without fail, Jackie is who keeps us coming back month after month. Her warmth, kindness, and knowledge are unparalleled, and we can’t imagine having a better time at dinner with anyone else.”
“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!”

“When a restaurant gets a bib gourmand from the Michelin guide yet averages only 4.3 stars on Google, you know you're in for a good time - and this did not disappoint.
The ambiance is great. The egg rolls, wonton soup and eggplant general taos were to die for. The beef and broccoli didn't hit as much as I would have liked but didn't matter we were already in love. The blood orange sorbet is the icing on the cake. Well done, team.”

“One of My Favorite Cafés
This place has such a great vibe—cozy, relaxed, and always welcoming. The baristas and staff are super friendly, and even the other customers make it feel like a little community. I stop by most mornings for my espresso, and it never disappoints. There are a bunch of cafés nearby, but the coffee here really stands out. Easily one of the best in the area!”
“I went to this store and I tried the “ diamond sauce” it was soooo good ! Finger licking good! I usually ask for extras in case the sauce runs out lol! Omg I will buy it every time I go to this store! You should try it !”
“Now this is a good bodega. Ordered a sandwich and was such a fair price. And not only fair price, but the sandwich was amazing! And included a bag of chips! There’s a lot of bodegas in NYC, let me tell you, and not every one of them is offering this kind of quality at such a good price. And the guys were super nice as well. Keep up the good work.”
“So this store have everything you need from food and personal items from medicine, hand soap and toothpaste and much more things you will need in your household. And let’s not forget about the food, it’s amazing as well. The cook is friendly and accommodating.Leo is amazing and have good customer service and he make you smile and make you happy with his great personality. When you come to this store you would feel welcoming.”
“I was staying in Brooklyn and thought I would try Smith Gourmet Deli. The food was fresh, and the sandwiches stacked. Definitely a true NYC experience. Prices are fair for the neighborhood, and the place is always clean and well‑stocked. It’s exactly what you want from a local Brooklyn deli: reliable, fast, and consistently good.”
“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.”
“What a treasure! Everything we ate here was amazing, the lightest scallion pancake ever, the spiciest soft shell crab, tea smoked duck that was like the best Carolina barbecue ever. The bean curd with pepper oil. All of it. Cocktails were banging too. And the servers were all fantastic too. Even the ink was top shelf!”

“Love this diner. It's small so it feels cozy and the all the people are sweet and warm from the woman at the cash to the waiters, just a pleasant vibe overall. The food is standard diner stuff but on the consistent side all the times I've been there which is all you can ask for really.”
“Probably best hot dogs i’ve had. Been here a couple times. They’re thick and very juicy. I’ve had the chicago style, new york style , and chili dog. Their chili is spot on! Service is amazing as well. got to meet the owners Joe and Jay, very friendly and humble. A++”
“Hart’s has been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.”
“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!”

“Uzuki never disappoints. As two people with gluten and wheat allergies, it’s such a treat to find truly exceptional gluten-free soba and udon.
The Duck Shio Soba is always a favorite. Comforting, flavorful, and good for the soul. The Black Truffle Curry Udon was rich and delicious, but the surprise star of the night was the Tempura Mochi Vegetable Udon. It was our first time trying it, and we’ll absolutely be ordering it again.
The Farmer’s Root Vegetables were also great. We wanted to put that sauce on everything!
Fantastic food, attentive service, and one of our favorite dining experiences. Highly recommend! 🍜✨”
“I swear my friends and I could live here. We’ve been coming to Madonna almost since their open… for dinner, for the pregame, for the many of birthdays, for the afters. The staff is a huge part of our experience and why it’s always first on our list. The music is always right, the cocktails are delish beyond belief, and the food… don’t get me started on the truffle fries. Trust!!”
“We had a fantastic brunch at Sailor. I originally considered the French toast but decided to try the Turkish eggs and am so glad that I did. The smoked turkey Reuben was also excellent. The olive oil cake is better than mine and I will definitely alter my recipe. We will visit again.”
“I brought my dad here when he was visiting from out of town to experience an Omakase restaurant. We had a blast! The service, food, and ambience were spectacular. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion, or just a nicer dinner. The quality of the fish was also incredible, and well worth the price, especially for New York City - will definitely be coming back.”
“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!”
“The space is configured like a film set: you are in some backwater honkytonk in a remote outpost in Thailand in the 70’s. Psychedelic Thai music along with some disco blares loudly beneath the flickering lights, corrugated metal awnings, advertisements for beer, Fanta, god-knows-what hair care products — it actually looks like a sort of Thai bodega. Leaning forward from your antique movie theatre seat and peering into the downstairs you see large glass jars illuminated with red light. Some Mephistophelian herbal concoctions. On a large screen plays some grainy indifferent Bruce Lee knockoff from the 70’s. You get the picture….”
“We absolutely loved this place! Don’t hesitate, go straight for the $69 tasting menu. You will be filled up completely and also get to experience a wide variety of unique and delicious flavors. And don’t forget that the menu even includes two desserts, which was a wonderful surprise. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was both cozy and welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“We went into Cafe Mars with little knowledge beforehand and we're pleasantly surprised by our experience there. The food was overall excellent. We went when they had the Japanese Italian fusion menu and loved most of the inventive dishes. The salt bread was our standout favorite and the tofu time was solid.
We loved that the staff and the ambiance made it feel like it was a fun celebration of dining. From the first seating through the plating and music, it felt like a welcoming and positive environment to enjoy inventive dishes.
The staff was friendly and professional. It made me feel like if the staff are this happy with there, then they must be treated well by the restaurant ( I hope).”
“An amazing omakase dining experience at Shota. Premium ingredients and amazing taste. Each and every course was finely prepared and beautifully presented. Service was top notch throughout. Sake list was also impressive with massive selections of both common and rare sakes. Some rare ones were priced pretty steep.
This restaurant is a treasure on South Street in Brooklyn. Definitely recommended!”
“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!!”
“What an amazing dinner we were participating in. It started with a flower that exploded our taste buds through all the variety of sea creatures and sea plants prepared various ways to a light but scrumptious bread pudding and ice cream made with 3 waters. All the dishes were presented like works of art accompanied in artistic dishes. It was most definitely a wild to table experience. Highly recommend. (only allowed 10 photos. There was a total 13 servings of food and 2 drinks)”
“It was a very wonderful experience. The restaurant atmosphere is spot on, large with high ceilings, nice decor and comfortable seats. The service is wonderful though I did have a little bit of trouble understanding the explanation of the dishes (but the online menu tells you everything you need to know). The dishes tasted much better in the beginning than towards the end. The veal dish was not very tender. And their duck pie fell a little short on flavor. But very nice touch at the end moving to the couches and having tea/cake. The Polaroid pic at the end was cute.”
“I booked Dinner Party for my husband’s milestone birthday and hosted 36 friends by reserving the entire restaurant for 2.5 hours. I coordinated with the team from a month in advance, and they were all wonderful to work with. Everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned.
The food was delicious, the space was cozy, and it truly felt like an intimate dinner party at home. The five course tasting menu was served as cocktail style bites and was perfect for the evening. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their other menus.”
Cheap Eats
“I’d like to start off this review by saying that I am a Latina woman, who has been to Pokito many times and been treated with nothing but kindness and respect - as such, I felt the responsibility to share my personal experience here having read another review below.
This past Friday evening, my sister and I stopped by Pokito for a drink after a concert. We sat up at the bar, and they were quite crowded but to be expected for a Friday night. Unfortunately, there was a super loud group sat at a table behind us that was making it difficult for my sister and I to hear the bartender, or eachother. Having lived in NYC for five plus years now, I’m no stranger to a loud bar - but this was over the top.
At one point, someone screamed so loud that it startled my sister and I, and we turned to look over our shoulders to see what was going on - It had escalated to the point that my sister and I couldn’t have a conversation a few inches from each other because this group was yelling so loudly. At one point we made eye contact with the loudest person at the table - their review says they apologized to other bar patrons for their noisiness, but they certainly didn’t apologize or acknowledge their behavior to us.
So we felt relief when management asked the group to quiet down. We thanked the bartender for helping make the environment more comfortable so we could carry on our conversations together. Turns out, the bartender was Latino (like my sister and I), so we chatted for a bit. The manager was also behind the bar, who also identifies as a person of color, and was nothing but kind and lovely.
At one point, as the noisy group were leaving, one of them came up to the bartender and had what looked to be a defensive conversation. My sister and I didn’t engage, but I did check reviews because it seemed like they were heated - so when I found their review below claiming that their treatment felt discriminatory, I felt compelled to share my experience as well.
As a Latina woman, I’m all too aware that we live in a world where discrimination runs rampant, and I will be the first to come to someone’s defense. That said, I can wholeheartedly say that this was NOT the case at Pokito when the loud group was kindly asked to leave. It’s a very dangerous and loaded accusation to suggest that a business owner - let alone another bipoc person - is somehow prejudiced towards their customers. After my discussion with the bartender and management, I see them as very fair and warm people, who seek to create a comfortable and welcoming experience for all of their guests.
So long story short - if you are a person of color considering going to Pokito, I would like to reassure you that you will be treated with nothing but kindness and respect by staff (of whom many are also people of color!). That said, if you are loud / inconsiderate/ drunk / obnoxious and infringe on others’ experiences at Pokito, then management may exercise their right to ask you to be respectful for the sake of other guests :)”
“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”
“I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Heard about it from my favorite podcast, so when I finally made it to NYC, I made the journey to this little place in a quiet Brooklyn neighborhood and couldn't have been more impressed. Best sandwich I've eaten in years--halloumi w/ hummus, roasted squash, and pickled onion on their amazing foccacia. Wish I could go back today. I also ate one of the best pastries I've ever had, a chocolate croissant with a *pretzel* finish. Wow! Just wow. Please just go there.”
“Huge selection of board games. Catan, Wingspan, Coup, Heat, Betrayal, Exploding Kittens to name a few of my favorites that I saw. Shout out to Aron for suggesting some new stuff and chatting with me about pokemon he knows his stuff, super friendly! Also alot of tgc being magic and Pokemon alot of the new sets too. Good vibes and energy here.”
“Great food and a really welcoming atmosphere! Cory was super friendly and the burgers (including my veggie burger!) and fries were some of tbe best we've ever had! I was traveling with my high school age kid and his friends and Cory made us all feel welcome which I really appreciated! Highly recommend!”

“Not only the best Persian food I’ve ever had, but one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The lamb ribs are an absolute MUST. Everything is fresh & delicious, traditional yet innovative. 10/10 and I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time. Lovely staff and vibes as well.”

“Such a hidden gem! Beautiful aesthetic, amazing murals on the wall, and most importantly: the food was amazing! I just wish there would have been a bit more sauce, just because it was so delicious and there was a lot of rice.”

“Not my first time there and won’t be the last.
Staff was knowledgeable and displayed the middle eastern warmth and hospitality.
Chef Soroosh gracefully sent us some complimentary items to perfectly pair with our dishes.
From the menu to the service. Everything was on point.
Thank you Sawa!”
“Really great food and such nice staff. They’re always super accommodating and helpful. Planned to do a private party with them and they were so so nice and helpful. We go here at least once a month maybe more. They also have a great lunch special. You can order takeout and they package everything really well also. Always arrives piping hot.
I will say they are pricey though but I feel like the quality is there. Some things are a little overpriced IMO but I’m okay with paying it because they’re so nice.”

“My husband and I were in the area after watching a movie and wanted to grab a drink before heading home. We found this spot and it turned out to be such a great experience! The tiki-style cocktails were delicious, well-balanced, and definitely worth trying. The atmosphere was incredibly unique—it truly felt like being on a boat, with the captain making announcements, background sounds, and even bubbles adding to the immersive experience. Last call was well organized, and overall the vibe was just fun, and memorable.”
“They accommodated our walk in party of 4 around 6pm on a Saturday and told us we had an hour and 45 before their reservation (plenty of time!) even gave us their “favorite table” in the house. Buzzy, great music, and overall vibe. 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”
“Absolutely adore Swoony’s. The place is charming and welcoming and the service is fantastic. Hands down one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC and a must try for any burger lovers. It really is uncanny (and delicious) how much the burger tastes like a grown up version of McDonalds. I will go back for it. The whipped goat cheese and wedge salad are fantastic. Don’t sleep on the dirty martini and ask for their blue cheese olives in it.”
“Food is wonderful, vibe is warm, and service is excellent - was so nice to talk to a real human being when trying to schedule a group dinner (rather than an AI bot as some other local restaurants use). Still thinking about the spaghetti pomodoro”
“The staff was very helpful and the dishes were amazing”
“Always have to stop here when visiting family in Brooklyn. This place has some of the best Thai food & all of the staff members are so kind and attentive.”
“We went for my girlfriend’s birthday. We got the Pita, Rakakat, Shish Barak, Charred Eggplant, Kebab Karaz and pudding. My favorites were the Rakakat and Kebab Karaz!”
“Deliciousness! I’m going to stop there as soon as I arrive into nyc on my next visit 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾”
“I came here for my birthday and not only was the food amazing, the staff made sure it was extra special! Definitely try their prefix menu and make sure to have the creme brûlée! It was perfect!”
“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone”
“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!!”
“I brought my dad here when he was visiting from out of town to experience an Omakase restaurant. We had a blast! The service, food, and ambience were spectacular. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion, or just a nicer dinner. The quality of the fish was also incredible, and well worth the price, especially for New York City - will definitely be coming back.”
“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!”
“Absolutely beautiful small cozy restaurant with amazing food and great service. Special thank you to the bartender, I ordered 3 different coctails and asked for no syrup or sugar and they were made perfect to my taste. Roasted beet salad is to die for, octopus amazing and the skirt stake is something to come back for.”
“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.
Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.
Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.”
“I discovered this place month ago. I been two times, the food is amazing, I want come back and try different things, the server always sweet. They have lunch (same price plates) but comes with two gyozas and salad and both was soooo good.”
“Habana Outpost is perfect for gathering and community. The host Brianna really made our visit worthwhile and made sure we were accommodated. It was at a large group and we received timely service and exactly what I expected for food. Thanks!”
“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.”
“We can’t thank Matthew and the team and Bee’s Knees more for helping us to throw the most amazing welcome party for our wedding weekend. They were so accommodating with all of our requests and our guests were raving about the cocktails and the atmosphere. I would 100% book a party here again, they have multiple spaces you can choose from and I found their offering to be so much better and more reasonable than any other venue in the area! Thank you thank you for a wonderful night!”
“Delicious food I had in long time with exclusive tast of fruits herbs and meat”
“Great, inventive food, and attentive service. It is, however, very loud inside due to the bare walls. Please install sound insulation panels on the ceiling and the wall.”
“Very convenient option in the neighborhood for all kinds of food. I’ve tried their various restaurants over time and the quality is always consistently good!”
“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!”
“One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, it’s just a phenomenal and special place. Each dish was delicious, fun, and inventive. Watching the chefs work was entertaining and the service was top tier. Highly recommend spending the effort and time to reserve one of their sittings. Again, a truly special place and one of the best restaurants in not just NYC, but in the country.”
“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!”
“Typically, I like to go to Chinatown when I’m getting Chinese food, but when it comes to birds of a feather, it is top-tier incredible Chinese food that you definitely need to try
I haven’t had a bad dish there yet, they are all phenomenal!”
“Impeccable service. Keiko was so kind and informative, as well as the rest of the staff. The chef prepared amazing courses and the flavor profiles were incredible. I will definitely be back again”
“One of my favorite Thai places now in Brooklyn. Their dishes and drinks are so incredible and flavorful. Love their pad Thai! I feel like a lot of pad thais in the city can be a bit bland but theirs is super flavorful and delicious. Also amazing Khao Soi!”
“I'm Italian (from Italy) and I LOVE this place. It's absolutely authentic Italian, very cute restaurant inside and the owner is super kind, fun and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have real and authentic Italian food!!”
“This place is very, very special. Having visited a lost count of Omakase counters in NYC, it’s often a real risk choosing a new one, even when you do the research and read a million reviews.
My wife and I took the risk on LUYA when taking a friend to dinner a couple weeks ago and it may have been our biggest surprise in NY dining in at least a few years. There are way too many things praise worthy at this place to list them all so I’ll highlight a few and let the rest speak for itself when you go try it…
- The staff is beyond top tier. Not only are they all friendly, kind, observant and attentive, but they’re also fun to be around! Never intrusive, never annoying, always the right amount of conversation.
- The fish is some of the best, and most outstandingly fresh I’ve ever had anywhere, not just in NY. The sourcing must be incredible because every single piece is truly punching WAY above its class in terms of price, taste, and presentation.
- The natural wine bar and perfectly curated selection of sake and Japanese spirits is such a welcome surprise. The cocktails are wonderful, and the bartender (somm??) is super knowledgeable about everything there.
Just come here, you won’t regret it. Best kept secret in the city.”

“I ate Hardee’s for the first time today. The food was fresh and hot. Customer service was also kind and efficient. I happened to be there with a long time returning customer who moved out of state and remarked “Every time I come home I eat here.” Between the food and customer loyalty, I have incentive to return.”

Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!”
“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 .”

“Initially, I did not know what to expect when I started my subscription with CookUnity due to previous companies I subscribed with. But as I go through their multiple dishes, I realized that I found a winner. To think that low-calorie food can taste this good was mind boggling to me. Pair that with flexible delivery time and affordability, I’m sold. And customer service? Top notch! Try their food from amazing chefs. You won’t regret it!”

“Delicious burger, cozy vibes, and service that can’t be beat.
On the recommendation of our server, Tom, we ordered the sunchokes for an appetizer and cheeseburger and risotto for mains. Favorite bite of the night were the sunchokes with fresh parm and pepper sauce. The cheeseburger and risotto were also outstanding and generously portioned. For dessert, our server recommended an unforgettable parsnip sponge cake with a decadent heap of cream cheese buttercream. The knowledgeable and friendly service made the dining experience warm and welcoming. I’ll be back!”
“Loved the tasting menu experience! Such an active kitchen and everything tasted amazing. I also ordered the lobster pot pie from the a la carte menu and the kitchen was able to fit it in before dessert. Great dinner! The flavor profiles were really blended. Loved small aspects like the coconut snow and the ginger granita.”
“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.”
“WOW!!! 10/10 would recommend and would 100% return. I booked as a surprise anniversary for my partner and I and expected it to be gimmicky - not at all!! The food alone is worth the price and more - phenomenal!! Creative and delicious. I’m not usually easily impressed, lived in nyc for 10 years and have dined at so many restaurants… this one really blew me away. And the experience!! The service!! It’s like a tour of Bangkok without being there - so cool. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!!”

“Walked in here on a whim and was BLOWN away. Each dish was so unique— the “tuna sandwich” or “corn ribs” were a clever word play but more importantly a wildly delicious creation that you would never get anywhere. Matt took care of us and gave us great recommendations on what to order.
I don’t say this lightly- I CANT WAIT TO COME BACK.”
“Can’t believe this place doesn’t have 6 stars. Favorite new spot in the neighborhood.
Vibes vibes vibes. Truly a vibe wondeful spot to be.
Food and drinks are unique and fantastic. Portions are small, but like, very much by design? Like that’s what they’re going for shareable plates. Especially liked the 30 slices of beef skewer.
Loved every cocktail I got. Milk punch and the caipariniha riff (can’t remember the name). Just lovely, tasty, unique drinks.
Staff was so welcoming and warm. You feel like you’re a guest in the home of the people who work there and they all live together.
Music did seem a little loud when I walked in, but then I didn’t notice it. Didn’t have trouble hearing, and great music.
I will be back many times.”
