I tried Boro Brine's tasting menu a couple months ago, and it's still one of the best dinners I've had in NYC. They just launched a $60 summer prix fixe menu that's a great intro if you've been wanting to check them out, and I also got to be one of the first to try their NEW lobster roll! Chef Mark Nobello walks you through each dish and its inspiration, blending filipino, korean, and japanese flavors throughout the menu. The seasoning and dressings are what really stood out to me. The ambiance and hospitality are 100000/10! I've already recommended many of my friends to visit Boro Brine. This might be one of those spots I'd love to visit every season! Summer Prix Fixe Menu $60 ＊ Focaccia with anchovy inspired by the chef's childhood nightmare of eating canned fish... except he turned it into something I'd happily eat every day. ＊ We picked wagyu tartare and bluefin tuna to start - the green tofu mousse and shrimp chips were incredible, but I actually liked the tuna even more as it was so refreshing and summer-coded with tangy finadenne sauce. ＊For the mains, we had the pork collar and king salmon -- the pork collar was confited overnight and unbelievably tender, and the fermented plum compote and crispy kale made it even better; the 2-day dry-aged king salmon was good, but the pork was the clear winner. ＊The desserts were MIND BLOWING - the warm pandesal with icy fior di latte and sweet-tart strawberries blew me away...and the olive oil cake with huckleberry compote felt bright and tropical, and I still loved their mascarpone gelato. Add-ons: Their elevated filet-o-fish ($25) with white kimchi and tartar ruined the fast food version for me. It's so good and signature for a reason! The nee lobster roll ($33) is so worth it for the price, as they source the lobster from Greenpoint Fish & Co, and the tarragon aioli makes it stand out from every other lobster roll I've tried. Bonus points for the house-made sea salt chips, and add caviar +$25 if you're feeling extra. read more

Food here was pretty good. We went here for a celebration and they were very nice about it. The drinks were really good and we did their summer bbq menu and tried stuff off the bbq. The portions were good and it tasted good Service was good here. The servers were nice and attentive. The restaurant is small but, I'm glad we didn't go on a busy time. The place is a little pricey based off looking at their actual menu. read more

boro brine Overall Rating:(2/5 Stars) I struggled with this one more than I expected. For a seafood-focused restaurant, the fact that duck was my favorite course says a lot. Too many dishes left me confused rather than impressed, and when you add in slow service, this becomes a spot I'm not rushing back to. 7 Course Chef's Counter Tasting Menu $98 * Wagyu: A solid one-bite moment, but placing it directly on the counter for presentation felt off-putting. * Amberjack: I hated it. I even tried breaking it down and eating the components separately, still no. Left unfinished. * Scallop: Technically a one-biter, though a bit oversized for that. It was fine, not memorable, but I did enjoy the coconut snow with the shio kombu oil and smoked roe. * Kinmedai (Caviar $25): The skin made this frustrating to eat, we had no knife, and it wasn't easy to cut through. The sauce was bland, and adding caviar felt unnecessary since it didn't elevate the dish. * Dry Aged Duck: The standout. A hearty, satisfying course that actually delivered. It could've rested a bit longer, but overall, this was the best thing I had. * Sticky Date Cake: A sweet win. Simple and enjoyable. * Black Tea Ginger Granita: Calling this a full course feels like a stretch. Coming right after a dessert with ice cream, this palate cleanser felt redundant. À la carte: * Fish Fillet ($25): I truly don't understand the appeal. I'd pick a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish over this, and I'm not joking. It came down to the fish choice and overall lack of flavor, just bland. Service: It was clear they were short-staffed, and unfortunately, it showed. One bartender for the entire restaurant meant drinks took a while. Trying to flag down a server, and being told to wait, was manageable the first time, but frustrating by the second. Everything moved slowly, from ordering to getting the check and even boxing leftovers. Not ideal, even with the staffing challenges. Disclaimer: These are my personal opinions. Please try these restaurants and form your own judgments--it's what I would do. read more

This tasting menu was absolutely worth it! (but the caviar supplement was not - look how little we got!) Regardless - this 7 course tasting menu left me feeling full and happy, and for under $100, I consider it a steal. MY favorite bites were the wagyu starter bite, the sea bass, and the sticky date cake was out of this world! Service was great - food came out one after the other - and the ambiance is chic and perfect for a date night. Would love to come back to try their a la carte menu! read more

Boro Brine is such a gem. We've been three times now, and it has been fantastic every single time. Erica is INCREDIBLE and a huge part of why we love coming back. She's fun, funny, sharp, and makes the whole experience feel warm and easy while still being totally on top of everything. She adds so much personality to the night. The food is excellent across the board, but the duck is truly out of control amazing, the wagyu tartlet is to die for, and my wife is absolutely obsessed with the sticky date cake. The cocktail program is also so, so good. The whole vibe here is just a blast. Great music, really fun energy, and that perfect mix of cool and luxurious without being stuffy. It feels special, but the tasting menu is still surprisingly inexpensive for how polished and delicious everything is. The 90s hip hop playing in the background somehow makes it even better. read more

This wasn't just dinner it was an experience. Sitting at the bar was a great way to enjoy our cousin holiday get together. The fish filet was bomb. The staff goes above and beyond. And the rest of the courses hit high marks. Love the Filipino flare to the dishes. read more

TL;DR/Favorite dishes- Tuna Carpaccio, Spanish Mackerel, Pot Pie, Sticky Date Cake Located in South Williamsburg, this excellent newer seafood-focused restaurant features two changing menus, a current $95 tasting menu, and an à la carte menu. This place ages and dries a lot of their meats and fish, and you can taste the quality throughout their menu. The lighting inside is a tad dark, but it seems like it would be a nice date spot. The place has a nice drink menu, as expected for the chef's pedigree, and I went with one of their cocktails. This was the $18 Salt & Grain, a rum-based drink with rye whiskey, white miso, sesame, and banana. This was both unique and excellent, with flavors including some sweetness, smokiness, and earthiness from the miso. Another person enjoyed a $22 Tomato Martini with gin, or her choice, vodka. The first bites to arrive were two orders of Focaccia for $9, with stracciatella, anchovies, and tomato-garlic confit. The focaccia had a nice crust, and the mix worked very well, with the slightly salty anchovies complementing the rich cheese and the confit adding just enough aromatics. This was a delicious opening bite, and I can imagine it working well on the tasting menu also, as an initial course. The second and third courses, those being the two raw fish dishes, arrived simultaneously. Our preference of the two, and one of our favorite dishes of the night, was the Tuna Carpaccio for $31, with pork belly, tonnato, and tomato ponzu. The very thick pieces of tuna were meaty and went surprisingly well with the fatty pieces of pork on the bottom. There was also a mildly creamy citrus sauce that helped balance the dish. This was excellent. Also good was the $29 Spanish Mackerel. This came with blood orange, chicory, and toasted walnut, with the blood orange both in slices and also used as a lightly sour sauce on the bottom. The dish came with 5 large pieces of mackerel, which were not nearly as fishy as I expected, and I would recommend it as a lighter appetizer. Next were two of the main dishes. First was their signature dish, a Pot Pie for $43, with lobster, Kurobuta sausage, and clam. The crust on the outside was very flaky and buttery. Then inside was a filling with plenty of sausage, some clams, and a bit of lobster. I wish there were a bit more lobster for the price, but the pie's flavor was excellent, with some mild spices. There was also the $25 Fish Fillet, listed as their take on a filet-o-fish. Description aside, this consisted of fried skate, Comte cheese, and white kimchi. The piece of skate was very large, dwarfing the bread, and had a nice, thin crust with plenty of tender fish inside. I have never been the biggest fan of Comte, but it worked well enough here. The bit of crunch from the kimchi was nice, but I wish the pickle were a bit stronger, as it was a bit rich. If you want a filling and reasonably priced main, I would recommend this one. The last of the savory dishes was the Branzino for $69 with crab fat chermoula, roti, and perilla. The fish was presented butterflied, with the bones removed, outside the head and tail, of course. There were a bunch of greens on top, including the aforementioned perilla and some watermelon radish. This came with four gigantic pieces of buttery roti. While the fish was cooked wonderfully, I found the chermoula to be not nearly as sour as usual, so the dish became a bit rich. It was still tasty, but I would recommend that at least three people share it. We ended with two orders of their only current dessert, which is the same as on the tasting menu. This was the Sticky Date Cake for $23 with mascarpone gelato and toffee. Aside from the description, I believe the toffee sauce also contained Mr. Black coffee liquor. Anyway, this arrived with two large portions, which makes more sense based on the price. The cake was moist and not overly sweet, with a texture similar to a bundt cake but with a slightly crisper exterior. This was excellent, and it paired nicely with the ice cream. Not many complaints here, aside from maybe the prices of certain dishes. I'll be back soon enough for their tasting menu before it becomes prohibitively expensive. Would recommend heavily before there is too much buzz, and it will be deservedly difficult to get into. read more

Absolute gem! I've tried 2 of their tasting menus in the last couple months. I usually skip supplements. Favorite dishes have been their duck, their stuffed chicken wing, both cods, and the amberjack. I've also ordered the lobster pot pie from the a la carte menu and loved it. It's absolutely massive it lasted me 3 meals. service is always amazing and the chef puts a ton of care into every dish. The space used to be a vinyl listening room, so the sound system is amazing. read more

I Went to Boro Brine as a celebratory dinner for myself. I ordered the tasting menu along with the wine pairing. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The service was wonderful and accommodating. The tasting menu was divine, the flavors really complement each other and adding the wine was the cherry on top. I would definitely check this place out if you were thinking about it. read more

The tasting menu counter experience at Boro Brine is fantastic! Reminscent of the early days of Brooklyn Fare before they had a michelin star and got ridiculously fancy and expensive. I want to come back and try some of the a la carte dishes, because the filet-o-fish and the lobster chowder pie look amazing. I wish there were mini versions of them in the tasting menu! read more

Note: This review is actually for my early Nov 2025 dinner at Boro Brine, but they didn't have a Yelp listing back then. ............................................................................................................................ I'm generally an optimistic, glass-half-full, kind of reviewer. Four stars are easy to earn with me. But I'm also a raging perfectionist, so five stars are much rarer. In fact, I can usually count on one hand the number of restaurants that get a full five stars from me in any given year. And if you think that's a feat, imagine being the brain agonizing over those stars. It's painful! Boro Brine is--quite possible--the easiest five-star decision I've ever made. There was no agony here. Just an easy, straightforward, utterly perfect experience--from the pitch perfect service, to the darkly romantic ambience, to the utterly delicious food. We got: - King Salmon with apple lovage, chili cheong, anise hyssop: I love me some fatty Canadian King Salmon (hometown holla!), and I love even more when chefs DON'T rely on citrus to crudo it up. The combo of apple and chili was a gorgeous flavor that made my tongue think naughty thoughts. - Tuna Carpaccio with pork belly, tonnato, chutoro: Similarly with this carpaccio--another welcome break from zesty citrus. I don't think I've ever had a crudo/carpaccio that was paired with cooked meat underneath....but it works! And now I must demand that paper-thin, perfectly seared pork belly play bottom to all finely cut fish. - Pot Pie with lobster, kurobuta sausages, fine herbs: Arguably Boro's most popular dish and certainly its most photographed. The puff pastry (which they make in-house) was perfectly laminated, and the marriage of sausages with lobster was one that should grace bridal magazine covers. But I do have to complain that there wasn't enough lobster. For $41, they definitely could've given more. - Steamers: Probably overlooked or rejected because of the "smoked eel broth" listed in its ingredients--THIS is the dish you shouldn't sleep on. With its rich yet light broth, perfectly crisp duck confit (yes, duck confit in a mollusk stew) and giant butter beans, this dish is winter comfort personified. I would brave any snowstorm if it meant I could go home to a cauldron of this stew. Le yum! We treated ourselves to dessert too (which they also make in-house). In this case, that meant a perfectly fried and sugared donut filled with fresh persimmon jam accompanied by a dish of house-made ginger ice-cream. Simple, delectably autumn flavors. Le deuxieme yum! Oh, we also sipped the spring-like Grovey and the lovely Special Herbs, the latter of which carries a hint of one of my favorite herbs, hoja santa. Mmmmm, holy mintiness.... Anyway, come to Boro Brine before the dreaded sheep--I mean, influencers--expose it to the masses and getting a table becomes impossible. read more

Visited this latest shrine to seafood during that week between Christmas and New Year's where you lose your sense of time, and had the restaurant completely to ourselves. I think that likely safeguarded us against some of the snafus that other reviewers have experienced with delayed seating times and too much time to wait between dishes. We had the full attention of our server and chef, as we sat at the chef's table. Our group of 4 tried a whole lot of the menu, but some standouts include the lobster pot pie and branzino. The branzino had so much flavor, was stuffed with a shrimp cake, and was very filling as it was served with a side of roti. The herbs on top cut through some of the richness and added a nice freshness to the dish, so don't skip it. The lobster pot pie was a bit difficult to share between four people but I loved this seafood take on a traditional pot pie. All the greens on top also added a vegetal freshness to an otherwise heavy dish. The filet o fish I found okay but a bit forgettable, and the sardines that came with the focaccia were too of the sea for me, and I followed a pescatarian diet for fourteen years. still, sardines can be quite fishy and is somewhat of an acquired taste. The amberjack and tuna crudos were great, fresh and full of flavor. I encounter this at a lot of restaurants where you're meant to share all the small plates with a group but my main piece of feedback is that aside from the branzino, a majority of the dishes had such awkward portions that it made it difficult to share among four people. They graciously cut the filet o fish and lobster pot pie into fours when we asked, but it still only allowed us each a little bite, which feels hardly worth it for the prices they're charging. Still, I'm glad I went because I do love seafood. read more

10/10 would absolutely recommend! What is there not to love about Boro Brine?? Went there to celebrate a bday and Boro Brine didn't disappoint. Located in Williamsburg, it was fairly easy to get to and had a chill vibe. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the hostess with a smile. She had us confirm if we had any food allergies and then walked us to our seat. We lucked out and were able to sit in the back where its an open concept and you get to see the chefs cooking/making our plates. Our waiter was so pleasant and helpful as we decided which dishes to order. I wanted to attend on the date of the tasting plates but thats only Thurs-Sun. The energy in the restaurant was so upbeat and vibey.. Definitely a place to go on a date.. We ordered several dishes: the Focaccia, Tuna Carpaccio, Wagyu Tartare, Pot pie and Branzino. Everything was so delicious! The Focaccia was so buttery and fresh and with the spread, amazing. The Tuna Carpaccio was fatty and melted in your mouth and paired with pork belly. The Wagyu hit ever note.. The flavor, the texture, the combination! The Pot pie had lobster, clams and sausage.. Can't explain how delicious that was. And the Branzino was so flakey, fresh and seasoned well, paired with a roti. Because it was a bday celebration, they brought us a Lychee sorbet that was the best sorbet i've ever had in my life. In addition to that we ordered a donut that was paired with Ginger ice cream.. Lets just say, i loved that too! I would go back to Boro brine over and over again. read more

Been to Boro Brine for both the tasting menu and à la carte and it's definitely worth the hype. They switch up the tasting menu so it's worth a second tasting visit and the pricing is very fair for the meal. Do note that they are limited in the days that host the tasting so book early (I believe it's a 6 and 830 on Th-Sat). À la Carte is also very worth it, we got the focaccia, tuna carpaccio, asparagus, steamers and branzino. It was fantastic! The wait staff is so friendly and helpful with recommendations. We've been a couple of weeks ones and can't wait to go back! read more

I've never heard of this place but my husband had it bookmarked. We were in the area and didn't have reservations. We got lucky and the host was able to sit us at the bar. The menu is small but has some interesting items. We decided on the foccacia with strachiatella, confiture garlic and anchovies, tuna carpaccio with pork belly, yellowtail crude, fish sandwich and steamers (only because the lobster pot pie was sold out). Everything but the steamers were delicious. We found the steamers too salty, which is shame because everything else was so great. We were shocked at how good the fish sandwich was. I also enjoyed the pork belly with the tuna. Save room for the sticky toffee cake for dessert. We also enjoyed the cocktails and wine. I need to come back for the tomato-tini that everyone was ordering. Service was also attentive and friendly. They've only been open for 3 months, so I can't wait to see how they grow in the future. We'll definitely be back for the tasting menu. read more

So I emailed Boro Brine in a bit of a panic the day before my friend's birthday to book a table of 6. Erica called me within 30 minutes to book me in and was so helpful the entire time! So grateful to her and the team for accommodating our large party on such short-notice. Every dish was amazing - we ordered every one of the appetizers and small dishes and literally have 0 notes on any of them. Loved the drinks and the various types of martini too. Ambiance is perfect for a date night. The chefs area had tons of couples! read more

Had a lovely dinner here on a snowy Sunday evening. My favorite dishes were the fish fillet sandwich and the pot pie. The fish fillet sandwich was the most flavorful dish we had that evening. The sourness of the kimchi really went well with the creamy tar tar sauce. The pot pie was just such a comforting dish, and the crust was super flaky. It came out piping hot! I would pass on the tuna carpaccio (also didn't need to add the caviar) next time, and would maybe get the focaccia again (the sauce is good) We tried both the donut with persimmon filling w/cinnamon ice cream and the toffee cake w/vanilla ice cream for dessert. Definitely liked the toffee cake more! It was super moist (but also pricey at $21!) Service was friendly and attentive. Theres a front space where there are some tables and then in the back there is omakase style seating. There's also one restroom further in the back. read more

the hot new restaurant in town.....lives up to the hype!!!! my gfs and i came on a weds night for their à la carte options. this seafood forward restaurant blew our minds! the fish is very fresh and the flavors are refreshing and innovative. together we tried the following: - tuna carpaccio - tastes like it was fresh out of the sea. - amberjack - better than omakase. - fish fillet - our favorite dish of the evening. i would come back just to have this bougie sandwich. - asparagus - first time i've had ikura paired with bacon. such a unique combo! the sauce was very yummy. - lobster pot pie - perfectly flaky puff pastry! wish there was more lobster of course, but i wouldn't say it was lacking! also do yourselves a favor and order some wine! the beverage manager really knows his stuff. we really enjoyed our selection. can't wait to return for their tasting menu next! read more

What a delicious seafood meal! I didn't realize the pre-fixe tasting menu was only offered on certain days of the week but I was glad to have tried a bunch of things from their a la carte. For a party of 2, they recommended 4-5 dishes. Started off with the amberjack which was very fresh and paired nicely with their mushroom dashi and a hint of sweetness from persimmons. For the middle plates, I was really impressed with the fish fillet! The skate fish was fried thoroughly and retained the tenderness/juiciness of the fish meat. The cheese and kimchi added nice flavors, and the buttered bun was soft and chewy. The steamers featured large clams with an addicting buttery and savory sauce that I wish I had some bread to soak it up with. I liked the addition of confit duck because it added some texture and another type of umami to the mix. The pot pie was also very solid. While my partner felt like it was slightly too salty, I felt like it was well seasoned. I personally would have liked a little bit more pepper but I also loved how the Japanese sausage conferred a bit of sweetness that balanced out the lobster and the crisp. We also tried their dry aged branzino that came with a good amount of crab fat curry. The mix of roti, perilla leaves, other herbs, curry, and fish was very tasty. While the crab fat flavors weren't as prominent imo, I liked how bold the curry was. Our roti unfortunately wasn't as crispy/toasty as some of the others. Do not skip dessert! The sticky date cake with marscapone ice cream was delicious!! The marscapone ice cream itself was very creamy and cheesy, which complemented the warm cake doused with a toffee sauce. For drinks: the amethyst veil was a solid highball that featured strong elderflower and floral flavors, with a prominent bitterness from the elderflower. The twilight dawn was my favorite because of its appropriately sweet peach and orange profile. Staff were nice and friendly! Pacing of food was fine. The kitchen concept is quite interesting. It almost feels like omakase with an open kitchen for the raw dishes and sweets, and then an area to the side/back for all the other hot dishes. Intimate vibes but not too fancy or upscale. I enjoyed every dish and look forward to coming back! read more

Celebrated an anniversary with my wife at Boro Brine. Overall, it was a delicious spot, but a couple quirks I'll point out later. We ordered: - Grovey (mocktail): Lovely lavender-forward, refreshing mocktail - Dry Martini: Classic! - Focaccia: Portion was definitely on the smaller-side, but this reminded me a lot of portuguese sardines over bread. Just a nice salty/oily flavors soaked up through the bread. - Tuna carpaccio with caviar supplement: The acidity from the tuna carpaccio w/ citrus + richness from the porkbelly underneath was a great balance. Could've eaten a whole other order over rice. Caviar was definitely a splurge, not sure I really felt much with it. - Fish Fillet: A really fun take on the McDonald's classic. I think the kimchi funk really helped balance an otherwise very rich dish well. Probably the best dish for me. - Pot Pie: Really, really rich as you'd expect. Healthy chunks of lobster! Not pictured, but we also got both of the desserts which was effectively a donut + ice cream combo and sticky date cake. Total pre-tip was just over $200. It was definitely a pricey meal, but given the area and quality of ingredients, it's close to what I'd expect. I'll say $16 for the donut + ice cream and $21 for the sticky date cake was kind of a punch in the stomach though. The restaurant itself is very well decorated. There's basically two seating sections. One is a round-table omakase-style seating where you can see the chefs making some of the dishes. And then there's a general seating in the front. One thing that did leave a kind of bad taste in my mouth though at this place was when we first arrived, it was practically empty. There was only one other party of 2 in the restaurant for a 6pm weekend reservation. They sat us directly next to them at the omakase round-table area. I found this a bit weird since there was so much other seating around and it just felt a little intrusive to be seated right next to this other couple. The front of house staff were able to accommodate us thankfully when we asked to be moved, but I just found the whole seating arrangement a bit questionable. I'd understand if there were a bunch of other parties coming in with reserved seats, but it was over an hour before the next party came so really wasn't sure. Overall, this place is a good "fancier" date spot without being too stuffy. I'd definitely give it a shot if you're in the area. read more

Service and vibes were excellent here. The host led us to the back where there's a huge omakase style round table in the middle and took our coats to coat check. Loved the sound system in the room - you could hear the music really well. We ordered the lobster pot pie, king salmon, octopus bucatini and focaccia. The first two were my favorites! The top of the salmon is seared and the sauce that comes with the king salmon is very refreshing! The lobster pot pie had chunks of lobster meat in the center and the focaccia was v interesting to eat with the cheese, garlic and anchovies. My husband also really liked the bucatini but I personally thought that the fried octopus didn't go well with the pasta so I ate them separately and it was fine. We also got a dessert called pot de creme that had chocolate pudding at the bottom with horchata cream and fried tiny anchovies! read more

The food was alright with a few misses; the kitchen was extremely slow; our waitress (blonde hair) was exceptionally kind. Not sure if the restaurant is still working out operational kinks since it opened just a few weeks ago but in total we were there for over 2.5 hours! The first dish came out over an hour after we were sat. I think something might be up with the kitchen since the servers were very attentive with the water. Also when the first dish finally came, they kept trying to deliver it to the table next to us which indicates some degree of chaos. We got: - Amberjack: skippable. The bonito was good quality but the persimmon flavor was cloying. - tuna carpaccio: this was good. the texture combined with pork belly was creamy and the sauce was flavorful. - prawn nuggets: Painfully salty. Would be better at a dim sum or Thai spot. truly so salty but the labneh helped dilute the salt temporarily. The labneh dish was cute. - lobster pot pie: not worth the wait + $41 price tag. tastes like normal chowder with puff pastry. I enjoyed it standardly. This must have taken an additional 30 min wait and the waitress was apologizing pretty profusely for the delay. Overall, I wouldn't come back. The waitress was the only redeeming quality so I bumped up the rating from 2 to 3 stars. The lighting is good for a date night and the noise level was a good level. it randomly became cold & drafty for a few minutes. everyone started shivering until a patron asked the staff to address it. I'd be interested to read some other perspectives about this place! read more

Absolutely loved this place. Sleek, well-run, much-needed chill but serious seafood-focused place along a new strip of S 6th that is seeing a birth of a lot of new places in recent weeks! The cocktails are strong and well-made. The menu is varied. It can veer into the comically overpriced, so I can confirm you'll be fine with the smaller items, like their cute take on a classic fish filet. If you live nearby, do not miss! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Boro Brine tonight. The food was good however the timing was difficult and thoroughly impacted my experience. We ordered the foccacia and king salmon to start and then pot pie and tile fish. Those four items should not have taken us from 8:30pm to 11:00pm with many long awkward breaks in between. The staff at the bar kept saying thank you for our patience. And then the bill came and not even a glass of wine was complimented for our long wait. Which felt a bit insensitive. I wish you success but I won't be returning. read more
