Here we go again with another toxic cashier.. I wrote previously about a year ago with a similar problem, only this time it was much worse.. last night, Wednesday 3/20 was really bad, and I mean just hideous.. you had a guy working who totally and extremely out of line.. I'm 68yo disabled veteran who doesn't bother anyone, just comes in and shops, and it's not a really nice place to visit.. and if you want some good advice, get rid of that moron cashier, because someday, he'll get you into the kind of trouble you really wouldn't need..

This restaurant was once awarded three Michelin stars for ten consecutive years and is also a representative of New York's fusion cuisine style. They primarily blend Japanese and French culinary elements to create an out-of-the-box and unforgettable dining experience.In 2023, due to disputes between the owner and the former chef, resulting in the departure of the ex-chef, they were removed from the Michelin three-star list, sparking considerable attention and comments from diners. From my recent dining experience at the restaurant, their removal from the Michelin three-star list does not imply that they no longer meet the standards of a Michelin three-star restaurant. Rather, it's because they are now operating as a "new restaurant" after reorganizing their chef team, which should be in a "grade pending" status. Personally, I feel that in the 2024 Michelin ratings, they have a very high chance of regaining Michelin star status, even if not immediately returning to three stars.Overall, this restaurant is highly suitable for diners interested in tasting fusion cuisine that blends elements from around the world, as well as for chefs in the food industry seeking new ideas. Additionally, the restaurant's service is excellent, even among fine dining establishments, as the staff seamlessly combine professionalism and friendliness. The dining environment in the restaurant is also excellent. Whether enjoying food preparation at the bar or having a more intimate dining experience at a table, both options provide a great experience.Here are some highlights of the restaurant's strengths:1. The seafood dishes at the restaurant are outstanding, with subtle seasoning that highlights the natural flavors of the seafood. Some small garnishes add a finishing touch to the dishes, akin to the layers of fragrance in perfume, leaving a memorable impression.2. The restaurant operates very efficiently, with each dish transitioning smoothly, akin to a symphony, where one movement ends and the next begins at the appropriate time.3. The service at the restaurant is excellent, with the staff knowledgeable about the dishes and beverages, smoothly and warmly introducing each dish, leaving a special impression on the diners.4. The desserts at the restaurant are delicious, whether it's pastries, ice cream, or fruit, all displaying creativity.5. The non-alcoholic drinks are excellent, providing a great option for those who do not enjoy alcohol.Furthermore, the restaurant may have some areas for improvement:1. The meat dishes at the restaurant seem to be less impressive than the seafood dishes, especially the wagyu beef dish, which is not cooked to perfection, failing to highlight the characteristics of wagyu beef.2. The sea urchin and waffle dish show great creativity in combining Asian and European ingredients. However, the waffle seems too soft and cannot effectively hold the uni; I almost dropped the uni while eating. Moreover, both the waffle and uni have a heavy sweet taste and soft texture, lacking impact. Perhaps replacing them with different bread and uni combinations would be better.3. While each seafood dish has excellent flavor, the seasoning and presentation seem somewhat repetitive, giving a sense of redundancy. Perhaps experimenting with more diverse elements and variations would be beneficial.4. The restaurant does not offer bread, a common feature in many European restaurants. Although bread may not be particularly expensive, I believe it is an essential part of French and many European restaurant cuisines. With bread, diners can dip it into the soup, creating a special dining experience and balancing the flavors of some heavier dishes.In conclusion, it was a very enjoyable dining experience. I hope the restaurant regains its Michelin star status in 2024 and continues to explore the path of fusion cuisine, breaking through the limitations of traditional rating systems and textbooks, and continuing to be a representative of New York cuisine and a unique restaurant in the world.

I was lucky to have found a table a couple of hours before the dinner started, I went alone and it was a great experience.Some of the combinations of flavours were very interesting, would recommend it.The courses paced quite well, I'd say just slightly too fast.Vegetarian options: Just don't come here if you're vegetarian, even if they offer something it'd be a waste of money.
Post Covid, I feel like most restaurants have lost their luster. I had been to chefs table pre covid and I wasn't impressed. However now, with its newly redecorated restaurant and chef max (I believe that's his name), I have to say it's a must try! Yes it is pricey but my god, it is worth it! You must try them out. Words will fail to do it justice. The staff is amazing and the service was top notch! It's an absolute must. I have to say this has been the best dining experience I've had since per se and le bernadin. I do not have more photos because i couldn't wait to dig into the food, so I forgot to take more photos. A menu was given at the end of the night with a farewell thank you bag with 4 small pastries. This place is so good I'm taking my parents next weekend! I will update this post!

Chef Max delivered the most amazing meal of my life!
Thru a market in Hell's Kitchen, behind aisles of groceries lies the beautiful hidden immaculate dining room. When the restaurant closed briefly last year, they lost all of their 3 coveted stars and will be judged as a new establishment later this year with their two new chefs. In my humble opinion I would be shocked if they didn't gain back at least 2 stars. An impeccably executed meal from start to finish. I dined here twice ages ago when it was still in Brooklyn and BYOB — the format has changed but Chef's Table is definitely still a well worthy destination for a special experience.

The food as amazing!!! We loved that is was tucked away like a secret only a few people had the privilege to know about. Our female waitress was a welcome change to the predominantly male employee experience at high end restaurants! So much fun with the wine pairing too. We're planning our next NYC trip around reservations at BF!!!

Dinner at Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare was one of the best experiences of my life, and I don’t say that lightly. Nestled away in the back of a grocery store, this restaurant is pushing the boundaries of fine dining. I was lucky enough to sit at the bar and witness the chefs execute the most delectable meal, a 12-course tasting menu that is seasonally driven, seafood focused and pulls from French and Japanese inspiration. The staff is attentive and highly educated in their craft—nothing about our dining experience felt scripted or stuffy. After every bite I swore to my mother, “This is the best thing I’ve ever tasted!” until I was presented the next dish, then the next dish, and so on. Dining at Chef’s Table is the experience of a lifetime and I urge all to go and try it at least once, but that once will turn into twice, maybe three more times, I promise. I’m excited for the new head chefs and look forward to how the menu will change in the next seasons.

Likely the best meal of my life. Even though the meal was very, very expensive, I don't feel like I overpaid for it. The food is all incredible, and I appreciate that they don't let concept or making anything too abstract get in the way of the taste. The taste of the food is front and center here.
