THIS IS NOT A HOT DOG PLACE!…read more I do not know why everyone thinks it is a hot dog place, it's a really cute modern Italian place with delicious food, amazing wine and to die for desserts. Eat here! Now!

I had a wonderful dinner at Naked Dog. If you're looking for high-quality Italian food that stays…read moretrue to its roots, this Greenpoint gem hits the spot. The Highlights: * Polpo (Octopus): This was the standout for me. The octopus was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of saltiness and it paired beautifully with the creamy potatoes underneath. A very well-balanced dish. * Salad: Sometimes simple is best. The greens were incredibly fresh and the dressing was light and balanced--not overpowering at all. * Classic Tomato Spaghetti: You can always judge an Italian place by its red sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, staying true to the traditional Italian style. It was simple, fresh and deeply satisfying. * Chicken Dish: The chicken was surprisingly tender and juicy. It's often a basic choice but they executed it perfectly here. Overall: Naked Dog offers a cozy atmosphere with food that feels both elevated and comforting. Whether you're a fan of seafood or classic pasta, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be coming back!

All of the food was amazing. We went with the Chef's Menu which was a selection of 6 tapas and a…read morepaella of your choice. We asked that they include the croquettes among the tapas and we chose the squid ink paella. The croquettes, pork, brussel sprouts, and potato were all perfect and exceptional. The tees leches cake was perfectly moist and not overly sweet as well. I wish there was a little more seafood in the paella l, but the taste was still amazing. The bruschetta and asparagus were delicious, but left something to be desired compared to the other dishes. The bartender was amazing (we sat at the bar), but very busy, so service was a little slow.

Having a late night outting in NYC I came across this smal tapas restaurant that surprised me as I…read morewalked in. I was greeted greatly, even with only a few minutes before last call for dinner service. The server and the bartender was reallt friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. Gave me really great options. For food I had the Spanish Olives, Pop a La Pedra, & the Croquetes Del Dia(made fresh every day and changes as well). I had a old fashion to drink, needed something that will warm me up for the cold weather. The ambiance was cute, and chic. You can tell that the workers run it like a little food family and I love that the most about El Born. Will definitely come again ans try out their brunch , heard it was amazing.

One of the most creative and cool coffee-boozy bars in Brooklyn! Even if you are not a fan of…read morecoffeehouses with booze options, it's worth stopping by to soak in the vibe. There is local artwork on the wall (for sale if that is your goal), there are dozens of seats between couches, tables and even an old wooden desk from the 1930's. There's also a great outdoor patio with some covered tables and chairs. Effortless cool, this is it. Coffee: 5/5. We had the espresso and cortado. Both were rich and dark, and came in a nice porcelain cup. We appreciate the small touches, because coffee in paper cups is just not as tasty. Ambiance: 5/5. The decor is perfect for creative types looking for remote work locations. Plush couches, small high top tables with bankers lights, and a few long coffee tables makes this place ideal for work or socializing. The noise level on a Sunday afternoon was muted, but it might be louder during weekdays. Value: 5/5. The prices are well below market value for Greenpoint, about $1-$2 less than other coffee bars. And they have so many mocktails under $10! Wow it's like 2018 in here!

Cozy couches, nice indoor tables, comfortable outdoor tables too. The coffee was rich and smooth. Not sure who their roaster is, but my latter was a nice full bodied blend. It really hit the spot. My wife likes her lattes with some spice and not every place can meet that request. Red Rover had cayenne which they sprinkled on her latte and for her it was just the right mix. Not too spicy but not wimpy either. Red Ricer is worth a visit if you want great coffee served with a warm coffee house vibe.

I never feel cool enough to be in Brooklyn. Luckily, Lise & Vito was a super welcoming experience…read morefor me, from the friendly bartender to the cozy banquets that provided more than enough seating for the Friday night Greenpoint crowd. What drew us in was their happy hour, which is decent. A few bucks off their signature cocktails, beer and wine until 7 pm on weekdays. We were also their for Focaccia Friday, which was tempting but with Chrissy's around the corner we had our eyes set o the prize. I had two palomas while I was there which were really delicious and strong - kind of shocking for being a premade draft cocktail if I'm honest. I moved on to their elderflower spritz afterwards which was tasty, but one thing that was confusing to me is the upcharge for a spritz version of their apertiv offerings. The upcharge for a splash of soda water and prosecco seems steep to me but in the trendy part of Brooklyn I guess makes sense.

Since it was my first time here I decided to do a tasting so I could try some of the wine they have. My husband and I got the Seasonal and the Library.

Someone from our party finally told the people that our table was reserved and that they couldn't sit at our table because people from the party literally had to stand. It must've been the owners friends or wife or something because then the owner literally told the birthday girl that he did not appreciate the fact that people in her party were telling people to leave the table. There was legitimately some disgusting behavior by the owner here, and I would never recommend this place to anyone.
