Excellent wines--kind of unusual but definitely worth a taste. Go for the six tastes for $12 and let the employees choose!
Brooklyn has its very own winery?! These guys are right on the beautiful Red Hook pier, offer tastings on the weekends and even have a killer wine club where they send you 12 special bottles a year.
Tastings for $5 Saturdays from 12-4!
Very friendly staff, will help you choose the wine. Nice selection of bourbons.
The staff here are super friendly and helpful - they're happy to make recommendations and I've never had a miss w/one. Love the $12 and under table and the free wine tastings & classes. Great shop.
I'm no connoisseur (tend to pick wine by the design on the label), but it seems like they keep the cheaper stuff on a table in the middle, and in general have a great selection.
Just got a new chef and food is uniformly excellent. Soups are great, and get any dessert they have.
Amazing bread in thick slices. Avocado toast is delish, and the poached egg was cooked perfectly!
One of the most creative cocktail places anywhere. Try the Turf Cocktail or Fernet Old Fashioned. And definitely get some oysters and pretzels with beer cheese.
Good god - they serve the best oysters I've had in my life.
A chill neighborhood bar, Achilles Heel is run by the same group as Marlow & Sons and as such, has a quality daytime coffee program, also featuring George Howell. No food and not a work space. Read more.
Homemade tortillas and avocados were scrumptious. Blue fish was out of this world and the pork chops were great too.
I highly recommend going double porky: start with the pork belly tacos (homemade tortillas + guacamole are slamming) and end with the Heritage pork. Oink!
try any item on the menu that includes homemade tortillas.
All of the food was delicious, particularly the housemade ricotta cavatelli with mushroom ragu special.Really laid back vibe with great service and a solid cocktail menu to boot.
I wanted to slap myself In the face for not coming here only now in the 2ish years I've lived nearby.
Happy to award the Snail of Approval to iCi Restaurant
Wow. Tough to get a table but it's worth it for the authentic Spanish cuisine that made us nostalgic for Barcelona. The chickpeas, fideua paella, crispy suckling pig. Also, El Arrako = amazing drink.
Great tapas bar. We ordered about 12-14 dishes for the four of us and honestly everything was outstanding
Charming restaurant plays with Spain's forgotten flavors.Small plates of fried eggplant with honey and nigella seeds & wild salads of salt cod and pomegranate seeds.Critics' choice for best Tapas bar!
Great spot for young crowd, lively, cool decor, good music and pretty decent food. Nice service.
The most beautifully designed bar I've been to in Brooklyn. Good cocktails, and a killer fried chicken sandwich.
Excellent brunch spot. Simple menu, but everything is executed really well. The best dish is the egg sandwich, which is served on a super fluffy and savory biscuit
Get the Creole shrimp and the beet salad. Lovely atmosphere, understated but romantic.
Staff Pick! Deb (Digital Lab): Small and cozy, with a back garden during nice weather. Great soup/sandwich combos and a tasty main dish every day.
Epic pancakes. Heuvos vaqueros spectacular
Cocktails, lamb belly, blue crab and burrata pasta, steak, bison burger, basically everything
This restaurant was funded as a kickstarter project. I just love that. The food is also awesome.
Even if you are so full that you can't even consider dessert, you need to order the "Date Cake" -- it's like lick-the-plate-clean-good which is exactly what we did and it was weird.
Super chill vibe. Loved the "hidden" garden at the back. Had the ceviche, carnitas tacos and the Pescado Al Horno.
This lively eatery pulls in Brooklynites looking for both homey abuela standbys (rich, cilantro-nipped guac; fragrant pozole verde) and palate-expanding fare (tongue tacos, duck-leg tamales). Read more.
Try Margarita de toronja picante. The best.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
