Such a pretty place! Great view, nice staff and tasty food. Chicken in the sandwich was a bit dry but everything else was great!

They were able to seat three of us on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation and it turned out to be an amazing brunch. The food was well seasoned, the burger was on point, it has a little spice to it and the chicken schnitzel sandwich was also well made. What was even better than the food were the views of manhattan bridge and the city. The lighting here is beautiful and the service was on point. All around great experience.

The place is really nice, with a wonderful view of the bridge. The food was also really good, and easy to share with our group of 5 people. We had the mezze platter and it was really tasty with warm pita bread. The roasted beet salad and cod croquettes were probably our favorite. Our wine and cocktails were also really good. Recommend going!

This restaurant is delicious. Right at the waterfront of the Manhattan Bridge in DUMBO Brooklyn. Great views, exquisite drinks, flavorful foods and a great staff. Our waiter looked like Paul Rudd lol. Amazing time, have the Filet and Caesar salad. To die for. A proper Margarita! Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!

Great spot to grab drinks and small dishes with a few friends. We came here after a work day and though there wasn’t a happy hour, they had reasonably priced drinks. Everything was delicious and some of the small plates (like the assorted dips) really stood out. Would recommend if you’re looking for a spot to catch up with a few friends or family!

This place is amazing! Our overall experience was great. Delicious food, great service and very relaxing atmosphere and stunning view, you can start outside and then just finish your dinner with a cup of coffee inside with Brooklyn Bridge view ! No loud music, and tables are arranged in the way that you have your private space and others' talks don't bother you! Will be definitely one pot our favorite spots in New York! Thank you!

The food was phenomenal!!! & of course the view was amazing! Everything we ordered we enjoyed, including dessert. Would definitely recommend the Olive Oil cake. Was a surprising delight. The drinks were also fabulous. And, everything was reasonably priced.

One thing that did bother me because I’m such a germophobe, where that the utensils were left on the table that had not been thoroughly wiped down in a while(there were noticeable cup rings). I did request a glass of hot water but I never received it. Other than that, great experience.
