“Went last night for a little friend date. We were sat promptly at a nice two top by the front window. Our server, who was the most italian server I’ve had since Italy, described the specials perfectly. Everything sounded delicious and I wanted to hear him talk more. All the food was top notch. The mushroom pasta special was a bit pricey ($29 a little sticker shock) and could have used more of that mushroom flavor, however, the pasta ribbons were of a most excellent quality with a nice chew, so I was still satisfied. The best item of the night was the roasted cauliflower special with the piccata sauce. My only qualm was the server, though magnificent, described the dish as being accompanied by focaccia bread. Upon receiving the check I discovered the focaccia was a separate charge. Felt a slight sense of hoodwinked but no matter - it was delicious bread.Service is nice as relaxed in that very European way. It was nice to be given time and not felt rushed out. In fact, I requested the check, which often time a restaurant doesn’t afford you the pleasure of doing. Will be back for certain.“
“Came back a second time and can officially say Tong Brooklyn in Bushwick is the best Thai food I know of in NYC, in the same class as LA and Thailand. And one of my favorite restaurants periodt. Everything has been top tier and filled with delight and surprise.“
“Always nice coming back to this little gem. They upped their martini game with caviar bumps for which we applaud them. Other than that expect it to be full most of the prime time but you’ll get in if you put yourself on the waitlist.Suitable for a date or drinks with besties.“
“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.“
“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid“
“Great food and staff went above and beyond for a special request. We jokingly asked if they could make onion rings for a friend at our table. We had the best onion rings ever, along with my favorite pork dish in a LONG time. Great night, don’t sleep on Gus’s.“
“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!“
“Elsa is everything a happy cocktail sipper can ask for! whether you're going on a date or a group of friend, it's made to cater everyone! The drink menu is limitless! from hot toddy to cilantro infused tequila to classics old fashioned, I like the creative names, we had two drinks and both came out delicious, balanced and eye pleasing! there's plenty of seating for everyone, from booth seats that can seat up to 4 facing the bar, to the intimate 2 seaters in the back and a group by the back door, which also leads to garden seating i have yet to explore! with that being said, I will def coming back! just wish they have happy hour specials!“
“Some of the best drinks in the city mixed with delicious food. If you are looking to fill that amaro-forward bitter cocktail crave, this is your place. The cocktails are expertly crafted with care towards the floral and delicate flavors. Don’t scoff at either the Appletini or the Espresso Martini, they will best any iteration you have had anywhere else. Lastly…though it’s not on the menu…ask for a Vesper; you won’t be disappointed.“
“Sydney and izzy gave me and my two bffs the best restaurant experience EVER!!!!!!! So kind and awesome, friendly, lovely. Fabulous experience with amazing cake!!!! 5000 stars ????? definitely coming back ASAP!!! Will never forget this night…. ?“
“Been meaning to check this out for a while now and finally got to it, and now I’m kicking myself for not going earlier. Everyone’s right about the Mussels, they’re not to be missed. Burrata and Pork Shoulder Pasta were also a hit. Drinks are creative and tasty! This is definitely a restaurant where you’ll want to go back to try every item. Staff was very friendly, kitchen bar is a fun spot. Loved!“
“we sat at the bar tonight (sunday). our server/bar tender danny was so knowledgeable of all the dishes and how to space out each corse. also made the best old fashioned— and we have a high standard for them. will 100% be coming back with our friends.“
“I recommend everything about this Restaurant....The food was amazing and so was the service.....The menu was simple and elegant. A nice selection of wine. My favorite was the chicken liver mousse with pistachio for appetizers. In addition, I like that they continue to follow Covid-19 protocol. We chose outdoor dining and felt safe and we really had a wonderful time.“
“Went here on a Saturday late night. It was crowded but we managed to get a seat in the back for two. Cozy and warm ambiance. Their cocktail was veryshort but very well priced. Helps with any indécision.I ordered the Gin lizzy which came out pretty strong. Like a sweet Manhattan. Something with the mix of ingredients the vanilla & almond syrup, passionfruit, lemon & bitters gave it an aftertaste that I can't quite pinpoint.However, I did enjoy my husband's drink the Watermelon Drugstore made with Ojo de tigre mezcal, watermelon, honey ginger syrup and lemon. Also enjoyed their version of a spicy margarita composed of espolon, lime, agave, contreau.I'm glad to be adding a new bar to my roster. And the prices here make them very appealing. Will return to try out the food menu.“
“i ordered their prosciutto and burrata (which comes with imported burrata and 24 Month prosciutto di parma), tonnarelli cacio e pepe (pasta with pecorino and black pepper), and infernetto pinsa (roman style pizza with tomato, mozzarella, spicy soppressata, and pecorino). all in all, every dish was made with fine ingredients and was cooked well. the burrata was very creamy and delicious, i would recommend it if you’re a fan of burrata cheese. the pizza had a good coal fire taste to it and came out hot and flavorful (the spicy soppressata was tasty, but i would like to try some of their other flavors eventually). the cacio e pepe was tasty and had a strong pecorino flavor (creamy, rich, slight cheesy musk to it). the pasta had good texture and mouthfeel (firm al dente noodles). all in all a decent spot for italian!“
“Just had dinner with my family. Can’t give a total restaurant review as I only had the cheeseburger and nyc tap water. But the cheeseburger might be the best in the whole country. I’ve haven’t been to every state but this cheeseburger was better than a Peter Lugers hamburger. Very nice staff“
“Great atmosphere super welcoming NOT FOR KIDS but maybe you can sneak'm in before the bouncers show up, because the food is off the chain and worth it for seconds ! Drink lineup is pretty good price point on point and the staff is so welcoming no pressure to order or to get going the place is lively and gets more interesting the later you stay. Especially weekends Bring ID and get yourself some stress relief in and around cool people, great food and drinks.“
“Being possessed of a very childlike palate that only enjoys extremely sweet and soda/juice/candy-type beverages, I used to hate beer and had never had one In even remotely enjoyed. However, trying some of Evil Twin's sours, I'm definitely a beer convert (well, Evil Twin's sours and similarly sweet beers, at least).“
“We had a wonderful time at the holiday popup! My parents were in town and Sat-Chan did a wonderful job and even made them drinks tailored to their preferences. We had such a special time, there are lots of holiday touches and the decor is so elaborate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for holiday cheer ☺️“
“High quality proper Italian. We got the agnolotti, lasagna, and broccolini. The broccolini was by far my favorite. The sauce was wonderful. Could be a bit hotter. The agnolotti was very unique and tarte (in a good way). Very high quality pasta and beautifully cooked. Lasagna we were most excited for, it was good but not anything show stopping. I keep seeing burgers in reviews but it wasn’t on the menu that day. Only thing negative is the service—we kept being forgotten about and had to ask for the check three separate times. The backyard is absolutely wonderful, would totally sit there again.“
“WINNER IS A WINNER. Wow guys, this place deserves more love! Only 18 reviews (?!) (at the time I'm writing this) shocking. Are the sandwiches teetering on $20? Yes. Are they worth it? 100%! Firstly, the sandwich is HUGE. I definitely could only eat half so if you want to come and split a sammy with someone that's a smart way to approach this menu. I ordered the midnight club (a somewhat different take on a cubano sandwich) fried pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mojo dojonnase and pickled jalapeños on a hoagie. I also opted to try one of their sauces, the ramp ranch as well as a hibiscus Arnold Palmer. So, let's break this sandwich down: - the hoagie itself is a beautiful, fresh piece of bread. Perfectly toasted and crispy exterior but fluffy, buttery and bouncey middle. They also throw a glaze on the top that's adds such a nice touch to the bread. - fried pork: think of a dark and deep fried mozzarella stick but without the cheese. This pork is tender and full of flavor. I absolutely love the breaded coating on this fry. It's crispy and crumbly and so so good. - love the ham & Swiss classic combo. The portions of everything it perfect for almost every bite - the dijonnase sauce on the bottom soaks into the bread just enough and really pairs well with all the other toppings - the pickled jalapeños are also a perfect addition of acidity and pop of spice The sauce is expensive at $5 but I'm so glad I got it. It was a special ranch and I'm happy that they basically provide a bowl of it for the price I also really liked my hibiscus Arnold Palmer. Extremely refreshing and a nice light lunch drink option. Just sweet enough. The space itself is gorgeous. I was not sure what to expect based on the minimal pics online but they have some bar/ counter seating at the front and a decent sized dining section in the back completel with sky lights and a shuffleboard (I think that's what it's called?) for night use I believe. I think they shift from cafe into a bar at night. As another review mentioned, you order at the front counter and the provide you with a table number and you can sit down and eat. The bartender was very helpful with me choosing my sandwich and was super friendly. One of the staff also saw that I wasn't able to finish the second half of my sandwich and came and brought me a box and I didn't even have to ask. This truly is a neighborhood gem and I will absolutely be back to try more items on their menu. 4.8/5“
“Iconic Williamsburg brunch with a divine menu. The pancakes were deliciously fluffy study syrup that didn't overpower. Sandwiches looked great too. Quality of food and unbeatable location are the highlights of this venue for me. Excellent coffee.“
“The new menu at Faun is exciting and creative. We had every dish on the menu. Always get the foccacia, the hamachi, and eggplant. The pastas were delicious, especially the duck confit pasta. The mushroom dish was amazing, and also the pork and beef. Desserts were perfectly light and not too sweet! Chocolate cake and semifreddo, and ginger cake!“
“Great little Japanese inspired listening bar tucked in between two buildings in Brooklyn - the sound system was impressive and didn't disappoint, we were able to hold a conversation while still being able to hear all the details of the vinyl being played just a few feet away from us. I'll never be able to afford a Rolls Royce, but at least I can order it as a mixed drink here!“
“The grilled fish is great and enough for two people. The grilled chicken was well seasoned and also good. I just didn't like that you can't select the specific parts you want in your order. It's chef's choice and I got my least favorite part-- the breast. It wasn't as flavorful as the thigh but at least it wasn't dry. The quiet star may be the grilled plantain, which I've never had before. It was so delicious!“
“Was on an afternoon walk with a friend. Stopped in and had a drink and had the Guacamole as an appetizer.. I gotta say they were both delicious. Only thing I wana say is that they added a credit card charge when I was paying cash. But was taken care of when I brought it to there attention. Otherwise the place was spot on.. Definitely gona try the Ceviche and the avocado margarita next time..P.s. they have backyard seating!!!!“
“Met up with my partner after a rehearsal she had down here (she’s the best!) anywho - tried to walk into red hook tavern without a res (like a coupla chumps!). They saidIt was gonna be a seven year wait til we could get the shrimp cocktail, so tail-between-our-legs we hobbled down Van Brunt (like adorable animated dogs from a 90’s Disney Movie) and poked our heads into TGFP (we are on an acronym basis at this point ;) - the vibes ? Immaculate. The food? Indescribable (( actually think the burger rivals RHT ?)), but I digress - unpretentious, creative menu, another gem of the neighborhood. Come here folks or I’ll come and get you !“
“Such an incredible experience, everything was wonderful. Each dish was so unique and delicious, especially the scallop crudo, and sitting at the chefs counter you get a behind the scenes view that's to die for. The staff (especially our server Kayleigh!) was all lovely, the meal beautiful, and we hope to be back soon!“
“The alcoholic pairing blew me away. The food, not so much. I can only recommend Restaurant Yuu if you love wine. For $180 you get to try 12 wine and sake with wildly distinct characters. Most of the bottles were priced above $85, with some being in the $250-300 range. Usually wine pairings are pretty bad value because only one or two stand out. The pairing here felt fully worth the money. Almost everything tasted amazing. Frankly, the drinks far outclassed the food in complexity of flavor and aroma.The food was much more about aesthetics than taste. Half of the food arrived lukewarm, perhaps from too much tweezer work. It was frustrating. Things were either not hot enough or not cold enough. There were glaring execution mistakes. It often felt like they were adding more and more components for quantity’s sake, but it did not translate to deeper flavors. The truly delicious dishes (asparagus, bread, sawara, squab, signature pithivier) were the ones with the simplest presentations that arrived piping hot. Though, looking back, the second half of the meal was really strong. It’s just that I sat through the first half hoping the food will get better at some point (which it did).In short, the drink pairing felt worth the $180, but it’s hard to justify $250 for the tasting menu when half the dishes were executed sloppily.“
“Cozy beer parlor on a quiet street corner with rotating taps of beer, sours, and ciders, delicious snacks and sandwiches, and friendly service. Summertime here is magical with cold beer and outdoor seatings. Great ambiance and perfect for chill hangouts.“
“Whether my husband and I sit at the bar, outside at a table or order food for takeaway, the service and food are incredible. Jay and the rest of the staff are lovely and everything is really fresh and tasty. We feel so lucky we live just a few blocks away! Definitely a neighborhood gem.“
“Would call this a hidden gem - not too popular, but not dead. The vibes are right - they use a lot of small lamps to set the mood. There's a cool Japanese theme around the place. Lots of things to look at. Love the disco ball. The music is mellow with a bouncy beat (or at least the night I went). Listen to More Than A Woman by the BeeGees - and that was the music vibe. Food places are near by if you need a late night bite.“
“I would like a backyard like their. So well decorated and amazing atmosphere.Food is amazing delicious and beautiful. My friend ordered and it’s meant for sharing with friends. I love the wings.Service is okie. In the backyard, they don’t really check on you much but it’s okie.Atmosphere is great.“
“Stop by with a couple of friends on a Friday night, place is warm and welcoming. Started with a Negroni which was spot on, had hummus platter which was the best in NYC so far, falafel which was bigger in size than the known falafel but yet very tasty. My friend raved about the cauliflower, but the star was the smoked lamb shawarma. All in all, good experience with attentive and responsive service with excellent food. We would have stayed longer had the chairs been more comfortable. I’ll be back (German accent)“
“Now, I come here for the vibes and drinks. I love their margaritas. I would suggest getting a handmade margarita because it is superior to the others. Now, to the food because if you are going to drink, well, you will eat. The best thing to order when sharing is the Plato Don. If I am stopping in for a drink, I have the Guacamole. The only thing that I am not a fan of is the greasy tortillas. When the place is busy, the service is average, you get your food quickly, and you have to wait a bit before your waiter checks in to see how things are going.“
“Great little spot with a rotating draft list and incredible vinyl records playing some hits. They have a great back patio. Love going here for a couple beers before going out on Vanderbilt for the night. Love the divy, music forward vibe of this spot. Can't wait to go again!“
“This is everything you want in a local brewery. Open, chill interior; beertenders who are friendly and know what they’re pouring; beer, cocktails, snacks, and nonalcoholic options aplenty. *AND* it’s queer, woman, and veteran owned.Also, the Fan Fan Tart Disco deserves to be in a museum. It’s that good.“
“It’s such a pity, I really wanted to like this place but was let down for some reason.Ambience was great for casual dining, super hip decor, noises from tables reverberating around the small, cavern like inner room.Food was good as well. But it was so so slow. We wanted to order starters first, see how we feel before ordering mains. We were told it has to be all at once.Even though they took our orders from the start, we had to wait an hour for the mains to arrive (same for the table beside us). The service staff did come by and apologise twice, so I’m guessing the slow service is not usually the norm.“
“Wow! Truly wow’d by this place. New chef Sunny is doing something really great here. The food program is wonderful, we had the Hwe, Spicy Tuna Hand Rolls, and Mochi Cake. The hand rolls are great, tuna delicious! $9 each, so not cheap but definitely a tasty bite. The Hwe was extremely delicious, think of it as Korean poke. The lemon gochujang was very nice, and not overpoweringly spicy. It had a really nice crunch factor as well, everything was definitely well thought out in the dish. We also got their dessert which was told to us by our server, who was great BTW. It was so good!Food fantastic, wine fantastic, service fantastic, music fantastic. I will be back here soon.“
“Absolutely remarkable cocktail bar with memorable drinks & delicious, well-priced shareables!You do need to reserve in advance, otherwise the wait can get quite long (over an hour)—but absolutely worth it for the vibe, the live music as the DJ spins records, and a moody ambiance that adds flavour to your evening.This was a place where I thought the bartenders could genuinely be called mixologists, and enjoyed every experience of the cocktails.I will definitely be returning!“
“Yes, yes and more yes! We had a wonderful evening here. It hit all of the elements- ambiance, food and service- out of the park. They were so accommodating towards us. We enjoyed the mussels as a starter just to switch it up. It was a wonderful choice. Bread and sauce were delicious. We tried a number of their signature drinks including the pistachio which was unique and very good. The servers were helpful, personable, kind and of course my favorite- present without being overbearing. The short ribs were delectable with very tasty fries. The steak was perfectly cooked. I was afraid that I would still feel hungry since it was served with just a salad but the balance was perfect and I ended up feeling satisfied. We kept off the night with a sweet touch of soft served vanilla ice cream. A perfect way to end a lovely evening.“
“Awesome waiter. He was really friendly. The food took a little longer than is usual maybe but they only have 1 oven and that's part of the charm. It's good pizza good calzones. The oven is hot. People are happy. It's a loud family vibe kinda place. I'd take my kid here if I had a kid. I feel like a kid would love this place.“
“I go here about once a month with my partner and we love it! He has this Oregon red wine that is unbelievably fruity and rich. The atmosphere is elegant and Tyrone the owner is probably the most knowledgeable sommelier out here. Highly recommend!“
“I went to St. Mazie's jazz bar for my birthday. I really enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. We were placed really close to the band, which was great. The food was a bit average, but the music was worth it! The baby soda jazz band was playing and their style reminds me of guitar blues.“
“Alex our server was amazing! As well as the overall service!He told us beforehand, that pizza was not available. So, we went with pasta:- Maccherone Ragu- Cavatelli with Mushrooms and Truffle.They were a bit pricey, but delicious!Cocktails were top notch!! (We ordered Yuzu Basil Smash and Averna Old Fashioned)We chose Tiramisu for a dessert to share! It's light and tasty!Atmosphere was also amazing!All in all, we enjoyed this place a lot and would recommend it 100%!“
“My favorite brunch in Brooklyn maybe even nyc !! Everything is absolutely delicious, fresh, good portions and you can tell they use quality products while maintaining good prices! Their coffee and drinks are also incredible. They were really cute before and just went through a lovely renovation that matches the incredibly quality of the food! Amazing friendly staff, I go so much they've started to recognize us, love you Betty!“
“awesome food in a stylish renovated building. love the old brick walls in combination with new materials. the food is perfect soulfood to start your day right. especially the whipped Mascarpone with focaccia is just delicious. also the short rib panini comes with an arugula salad with tumeric vinaigrette. gives just the exact kick with acidity and sweetness you need to get an extraordinary flavor. definitely we will come again“
“We went for my grandmother's 82nd bday and she had an amazing time! Drinks were a little weak not gana lie. But when my grandma pointed it out to the server the next round made up for it. The view is STELLAR! The minimum for the table seems like a lot per person but everything is SOOO yummy and the environment is SUPER comfy you keep ordering and by the time you notice you're over the minimum!“
“Had a great time enjoying dinner at Lohi Rooftop. Came to enjoy a late rooftop view as summer was dying down. The menu is limited but has tasty options. We ordered the double smash burger, the salad, and the chimichurri steak. The smash burger was the highlight for me. Lohi also doubles as an event space as well. Have been to a couple of parties here during the summer which were always a good time. Make sure to tip the Bartenders“
“Simply the best every single time we go! Super friendly with kids, outdoor backyard spaces, beautiful, and feels inside but open… And the pasta is amazing.I’m still remembering the mushroom special pasta I got months ago.Also, the wine list is great and good price points for quality.“
