Amazing! Food is flavorful and delicious. Our server Juju was attentive and made great recommendations. The backyard is beautiful, great atmosphere. The gin martini was perfect. We shared the Frijoles, shrimp tacos and the chicken. Highly recommend!

Truly a case of "I don't get it". Not in the sense that Colonia Verde is bad, because it's not, but it certainly doesn't live up to the hyperbolic reviews here either. Everything we ordered from the endive salad swimming in ranch to the "cheesy bread" was decidedly fine, but it all had a veneer of feeling like something you would get at an elevated Chili's. The pepper pasta and chicken were pretty good, and the space is lovely, but looking at the gushing reviews leaves me confused. Colonia Verde is a stepabove in terms of ambiance, and middle of the road as a kitchen.

Excellent service, staff, and menus. Best carajillo in Brooklyn. Colonia Verde is my favorite brunch spot.

"Enjoyed delicious food at this neighborhood atmospheric gem, but the experience was marred by our waiter's cold demeanor. Our waiter, Jacob, lack the warmth and attentiveness expected from the standing this establishment aspires to, making the visit less than welcoming. Ultimately, the disappointing service overshadowed the culinary treat, and we wouldn’t necessarily go back given other options in the neighborhood offer similar food quality with better service. The hostess at door was lovely though, to her credit.”

Hello fellow restauranteur, this review is about to dive into the reasons I have to believe that Colonia Verde is a caliber above all else. Yes, that’s right. Bold statement alert: best restaurant in Brooklyn? I think yes. Slay-standing service, molecular energy, rustic atmosphere (vibe) inviting romance, all traits they have, yet aren’t what’s important here. What’s important is the perfectly thought out the menu, cohesive flavors and flawless execution from the chefs. Thank you for the premier experience. Rock On??
Blood Mary, maybe because I ordered non-alcoholic, I felt like I was drinking sauce.The duck is very soft and goes perfectly with the cornflakes underneath. , the sauce is also quite delicious.The dessert was served before I finished the last dish. By the time I finished, the dessert had melted.The waiter couldn't see me at all. I sat outside and no one came over after I finished eating. In the end, I asked the staff to move things.

Shrimp tacos! They were a lot larger than we expected but so glad there was more to share. Shrimp perfectly cooked and tender, melt in your mouth. Perfect savory, pureed black bean sauce and fresh avocado. We also got the breakfast arepa which I thought was ok, but my partner really liked it. Arepa was not too thick or dense, fried runny egg with fresh pepper and cilantro. We were pretty full but got the donut churros and didn’t regret - slightly crispy outside but so soft and airy inside, tasted like churros but really a perfect light donut and chocolate sauce on the side. Sat by the bar since we didn’t have reservations for weekend brunch but it worked out well, friendly chill service. Service is on the slower side but no complaints. They have a very solid bar, didn’t get any drinks this morning but I’d definitely come back for dinner. Interesting things like Coconut Cartel rum in their stash ;)

Really friendly staff and atmosphere although it was so dark, I had to use my torch to read the menu and see my food once it arrived. Couldn't fault the service and our whole party found the food outstanding.Wheelchair accessibility: I use a wheelchair and this venue is not accessible. It was worth the effort to get in without it.

Had a really nice time here. We were seated quickly out back. We weren’t sure if it was going to be packed because of the time. But to our surprise it wasn’t. Food and drinks were amazing! Can’t wait to
Not much care put into the food or hospitality.
