Had to make a quick pitstop here before the walk on the bridge, for restroom and opted for sparkling lemonade with iced tea. The people were very gracious and allow me to use the restroom with a minimum purchase. Although the tea cost eight dollars, which is pretty steep. It was worth not holding over the bridge. lol- the place was clean and cool, the atmosphere was open and the host was welcoming understanding my flight. However, the bathroom did not have tissue :/ - almost a fail if I didn't have some in my pocket

Food was freshly prepared and very good. They have a nice variety of food to choose from. Good service.

From New York City hall, I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge on my foot. This cafe is located at the exit of the bridge on a side of Brooklyn. I was thirsty as I walked across the bridge. As the exit gradually approached, the cafe Jumped into my eyes. I decided to come in it. Though Brooklyn Bridge Bistro was Brooklyn Bridge Cafe before, now the name become Brooklyn Bridge Bistro. I suddenly think the cafe and searched on the internet. The location matched with my old photo but the name of it didn't matched with the name in my photo. So I watched the Website of Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, managing local business. As a result, I found that Brooklyn Bridge Bistro is the same cafe, Brooklyn Bridge Bistro. The Brooklyn Bridge Bistro has been open the same place for a long time. Maybe, local people in Brooklyn rarely visit the cafe, but tourists of Brooklyn Bridge usually visit it. So so many reviews evaluate high quality and services, especially the prices. According to my research, it is very famous for tourists who visited Brooklyn Bridge, but local people hardly ever visit it.

Cafe Latte
Rani Z.

Time & Date: Friday, 7/30/21 @ 6:30pm Crowd: only 2 parties Ordered: Iced Cafe Latte w/ Almond Milk ($7.25) Needed some energy before walking the Brooklyn Bridge, and this restaurant was conveniently located at the bridge entrance. This is a sit down restaurant, but I just ordered a latte from the menu to go. The espresso was decently strong & there was a slight sweetness from the almond milk. Solid latte, but for $7.25? Big Yikes!

Before walking the Brooklyn bridge I stop here for lunch Small menu not much to choose from I order cappuchino and salad bowl I think they added the tip on the bill and I leave $5 dlls more Wherever my lunch was good

I was enjoying the egg white omelette until I noticed the pool of oil underneath

I haven't waited this long for anything since Space Mountain. The service was surely lacking this AM, but the food was ok until I noticed the pool of oil my egg white omelette was basking in. Probably a must-miss

Buffalo Wings
Stacie W.

What a nice place! We were hoping to make it in for breakfast, but we just missed the cut off time and had lunch instead. I ordered the mac n cheese and buffalo wings. Both were really good. The mac n cheese was really saucy, which was nice, but could have used some more seasoning. The dressing that came with the wings was a little vinegary, but the wings themselves were good. I was able to try the margarita pizza, artichoke dip, and grits. The grits were rich and creamy and although the crust on the pizza was a little doughy, it had good flavor. The artichoke dip was REALLY good. It was a hit with the group for sure. The staff was really nice and welcoming.

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty.

Walking in, it's a stunning restaurant and on this night, not too crowded which made us wonder why they would seat us next to the servers station away from dozens of much nicer tables. Note that I booked through Open Table where I have Gold status which I thought meant you get a better table. Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak. My wife had two small dishes which she wasn't as thrilled with, Grilled Artichokes which were too dry for her liking and Manti, which she liked. Main takeaways. Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.

We ordered 5 dishes and it was enough for 2 of us. Even though portions are small, it's actually pretty filling. The truffle mac and cheese was heavy but had a good amount of cheese to macaroni ratio. The truffle flavor was there but not super overpowering. My favorite dish of the night. Edamame dumplings were different as it had a cheesy flavor and the edamame itself wasn't noticeable. The sauce surrounding it was savory. Also a must get. Wish it was more than 4 pieces. Lucky noodle was super chewy and reminds me of a Chinese noodle soup with ground beef. It has a hint of cumin flavor even though not sure if that ingredient is in it. The steak was super chewy and flavorful but is not a must get. Popcorn chicken was the weakest because it was a bit too dense. Overall, this place was only $100 in total with drinks and in NYC, it's a steal!

The gnocchi and lucky noodle sauces were amazing. The gnocchi had a sauce similar to a teokbokki and had a nice kick. The lucky noodle had great texture and with the sweet onions, had a nice sweet and spicy mix. The popcorn chicken was cooked well. The paella was a nice mix between Spanish and Korean flavors. The only thing we didn't like was the plantain as it was just half a plantain and the dip it came with didn't mix well in my opinion. The drinks tasted stronger than I expected but that ended up with the drinks being a little bitter. Service was nice and quick here! This is a great spot for a girls night out. We came at around 6:30 PM on a Saturday and were able to get seated immediately. Overall, really good!

Then the music changed, and the band that went on after was just NOT a vibe - what we had hoped would be a cute, cuddle in a little booth, get some music, good food, turned into a "are we done, lets hurry and go drink at the hotel bar" experience! Sad because I wanted to love this place, and maybe another booth where my ass wasnt on my neighbors chair, and the music was a different band might change this whole experience!

Met family in Manhattan, and they had already made a reservation for all of us…read more We were seated promptly and drink orders were taken. Once drinks were out, then food orders were taken. Everything was quick, no waiting. Food was very good. I had the chopped salad with salmon, my wife had the grilled cheese with tomato bisque. Everything was pretty much perfect. Where we sat, we could see the open kitchen and the open fire oven. My cousin's kids were really interested in it. It got a little noisy when more parties were sat, but we could still mostly hear each other. Plus the host took a pic of all of us and the storefront when I asked. Not everywhere will do that. Only negative I could say is that it was a bit pricey, but I figured that's New York City pricing, as it was $30 for my salad plus salmon, which is only like $18-20 here in Maryland. But overall, still an A+.

Only 3 stars or so for the food. It was ok, but didn't knock my socks off. I mean, it really was fine, but not the wow I'd been led to expect. And then less than 2 stars for the ambiance, which makes me sad. The decor was fine up to a point. Lovely bar stools. But the corner we sat in? None of the photos on the walls around us were straightened or hung equally. It was a bit disturbing (ie not relaxing) and confusing to the eye. And the music was this weird mash up of disco and 70s harder rock. Weird, as it is supposed to be a higher end dining experience. Hm. I would hire the server, but would look someplace else to spend my money on another meal in the area.
