Great location. The service was ok at best . The food is so so at best . Unsure if all of us are heading back or not . Wings were terrible.

They have a beautiful patio & greenhouse that's great for "indoor" dining in Brooklyn. They have unlimited drinks on there brunch menu on the weekends. The food is delicious, great spot in Bay Ridge. read more

Greenhouse Cafe - My Eggs Benny, Yum!! - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We came here for restaurant week. I loved that they gave you a full range of options unlike other restaurants during this event. There were even options on where to sit- inside, outside or in the enclosed patio area. We chose the last and it was very nice. *There was a bothersome leak that started in our corner at the end of dinner but we were on our way out so it didn't affect us. We let our server know. Dinner and service were good. The appetizers - eggplant rotini and baked clams were so very good. Perfection! Steak was also up there! The chicken with mushrooms, ham and spinach was pretty good too. The lobster had no taste or flavor even with butter and salt. The sides of mashed potatoes and vegetables rounded out the meal. We ended with two desserts- the brownies which were out of this world amazing and the chocolate mousse cheesecake which was unfortunate. There were a mix of textures and the crust was not good at all . I would go back for the experience and great service. It was worth it. read more

Great price fix on $40 w all you can drink cocktails selection of 6. Food is excellent.

We were looking for a bottomless brunch near us and boy did we find it! They have two different ones you can choose from, the main difference being what you can drink.. we opted for the cheaper of the two because it actually had more variety of drinks. The more expensive one had mostly wine. The other one has champagne, mimosas, Bellini, screwdrivers, bloody Mary's and piña colada's. I wanted try them all but I got stuck on the screw drivers. Btw it's also two hours of unlimited drinking. The food was decent. I had a burger and it was surprisingly delicious. The service was great. Our server was super nice. The atmosphere is also great. I literally felt like I was in a greenhouse. They also have a more outdoor setting under a tent. Everything was clean, they check your temperature, and masks are required when not eating or drinking. Definitely will come back here soon read more

Attended a marathon party here the other day. Staff was nice and accommodating. We had: Family style hot appetizer tray - Baked clams, Mozzeralla En Carrozza, chicken satays, calamari, stuff mushrooms, zuchine chips. My favorites were the mushrooms and the calamari. Everything else was just ok. Penne alla vodka - good, nice portion size (not too much). Not the best I have ever had, but if you like Penne Alla Vodka, you'll like it. Green salad - good, but very small. I honestly would have been happy with this as my main if it was larger. A kind of mayo looking creamy Italian dressing is provided, but they'll bring you oil and balsamic vinegar if you ask for it. Shrimp scampi - The sauce was too heavy for me to really enjoy the shrimp. I did however eat the steamed veggies and some of the baked potato it came with. read more

I had my bridal shower here in June 2019 and I could not have asked for a better day! The private room was beautiful (and most importantly, PRIVATE!) and allowed my mom to decorate to her heart's content. The staff was attentive but not overbearing and the food was EXCELLENT, especially the garlic bread, penne ala vodka and steak. All of the guests raved about it and said it was one of the nicest showers they'd ever been to. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a mid-sized venue in south Brooklyn with a private room to check out Greenhouse Cafe. read more

Came here for my birthday and had a wonderful experience. We did the bottomless brunch and Peter was very accommodating! Would definitely come back. Good quality food and not super expensive read more

I just attended a private event here and had a pleasant time. The place is divided into different rooms and felt a bit tight in a few occasions; however it was very nice sitting in the room with all the windows backing into the little patio. The choices that were offered in this private event were varied and they all sounded delicious. I went for the chicken park which was okay; a bit bland, but okay. The service was good and I enjoyed the place overall read more

came here for a baby shower and i'm pleasantly surprised! drive around bay ridge often and legit don't know why i never realized this place lol. there's a lot of seating. there's some regular walk in customer seats, there's an outside patio which looks cute to reserve for like a party and also a side room which is where i was to also reserve for a party. the food was good! didn't try everything of course but i tried the chicken francaise (did i spell that right? lol) and it was delicious a good amount of meat, veggies were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. and omg the potatoes were so good! lol the roasted potatoes itself was delicious i could eat a plate of just that! the sauce was savory but not overpowering just overall very delicious and well balanced. my fiancé got the shrimp scampi dish and honestly also good and the portion sizes were great! service was good as well we had a nice waitress! will for sure come back and look into using the venue for future parties. (: read more

Had a small, 14 person engagement party here. We tried to reserve the garden but they said you have to have a 25 (I believe) person minimum. I told them to please try to put us in the garden. They totally did! The restaurant was semi empty and we had the whole garden to ourselves. It was nice and cozy, the atmosphere is awesome here, that's why I wanted to have it here. Our bill came out to like $500 something, included gratuity of around 18%? Anyways, we had a great time here and people took food home. Thank you for the kind, attentive service! read more

One year from the date of our last gathering here (funeral dinner) we met again with family and friends for a celebration of life. Once again, the owner and his management team made this a beautiful day. This time we had about 30 people and were again given a separate room. The food and service were again 5 star from the beginning Right until we left. Each of the 6 choices were absolutely incredible - and the service was incredible as well. A very thoughtful approach to service. read more

The Greenhouse is our family staple in Bay Ridge. We've celebrated many events here including birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and retirements. Our entire family is always very satisfied with the relaxing environment, friendly staff, and delicious food. Last night three generations of my family had dinner here and we all had a wonderful time. The penne vodka is so satisfying and is my go to order. I definitely recommend a stop by if you're in the neighborhood! read more

3 stars for flavor, 4 for service, 5 for portion size! We came to this restaurant after seeing an ad with a coupon on a local paper. Looking for parking was a little challenging and their valet doesnt start until 4pm. However, I was surprised at how elegant the place looked from the exterior. The restaurant itself looks a little old but we sat in their little greenhouse which was kinda cute. For lunch, we had the choice of a $19.95 3-course lunch or their $24.07 restaurant week menu. Both menus had at least 6 choices for each course, great variety. Portions are BIG! Since we went as a group, I got to try the seafood salad, zucchini chips and the mussels on a white sauce (my favorite) for appetizers and they were all pretty good. For entrees, I tried the Filet of Sole stuffed with crabmeat (ok), the penne with shrimp (pasta was ok, but shrip was delicious!), the salmon... All the dishes are decent, a little bland for my taste... Our server was great. She patiently repeated all options for our big group and did a great job explaning the dishes and making suggestions. A good value overall. I'd go back if I'm in the area... read more

I recently met a friend for brunch here and at first glance, was disappointed by the dated interior appearance. It desperately needs a refresh. The food was average/good. The waitress was prompt but lacked a sense of care. Not once did she ask how everything was. No recommendations. No attempt at engaging with the customer and the place was empty. It is unlikely that I would return. read more

I'm giving two stars solely because of treatment and service from the staff. Two months ago my maid of honor called this place and asked if they could accommodate a bridal party of 14 and would she be able to put somethings on the tables she was told they could she also asked if we had to leave when brunch was over and they assured her that we didn't . We could of had this any where in ny that would of provided a private room but we wanted to support local knowing how hard covid restrictions have Impacted smaller restaurants. When my family and friends arrived the manager was very rude and told them to not come in until 3pm it was 2:45 he then said we had to get out by 5. when i arrived i was given cold penne and a salad after i drove 2 hrs from south Hampton the manager and server completely ignored us every time we tried to get his attention to order drinks or more food this is where i was completely appalled at 5pm he asked could we could get out once the bill was paid because he had a reservation keep in mind this place was empty and the entire outdoor seating was vacant i asked him if we can order from the regular menu once we close out the brunch bill but he said no he rather we leave so he can accommodate his evening reservations i would never recommend this place the management is terrible they had two month notice on what was happening read more

We took advantage of the NYC $20.21 restaurant week promotions and ordered a porkchop and a chicken masala dinner complete with mash potatoes and a vegetable. My food was ready for pickup at my specified time. The meals were delicious and the portions generous. Going to try their other offerings next. The staff were courteous and attentive. Please support your local business. read more

My girlfriends and I came here at 1pm on a Sunday for brunch. We were seated and given menus and water right away. They have a brunch menu which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert and unlimited mimosas, pina coladas, or screw drivers for $26.95. I got the Caesar salad as an appetizer, penne vodka for an entree, and the rainbow sherbet for dessert. Everything tasted great. The pasta was portion was huge, it could of easily been split between two people. Everyone else I was with was satisfied with their meals and for the price it can't be beat. The matradee Peter was so helpful and attentive to our table, and every other table that I could see. He made sure everyone was satisfied and happy. I will definitely be back to Greenhouse! read more

Really great brunch deal. Bottomless brunch with endless options door $29. Sounded too good to be true but it didn't disappoint. Had bloody Mary's and mimosas which were both yummy. Comes with appetizer (different salads, fruit or soup), lots of entrees including omelets your way and burgers, and dessert. Large portions and friendly staff. Will come back! read more

Friday, January 8. 2021 @ 4:40ish. Party of 4. Peter as well as the other staff were very welcoming, courteous, attentive, and just down right amazing. Tito's with Lemonade...very good.*unlimited* with special meal set. Hot Teas...enjoyable. Hot Coffee...freshly brewed and strong in a good way. Bread and Butter was brought out quickly with a pitcher of iced water and cups. Starters: Tossed Salad...very good especially, the balsamic dressing. Caesar Salad...very good with nice size shavings of cheese...just needed a little more dressing which was quickly brought out. Lobster Bisque soups(2) way beyond delicious. Nice flavor, texture, and a bowl not cup. Entrees: Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetable medley (2)...well plated, plentiful, and the aioli that come with it just enhanced the dish. Shrimp Scampi with mashed potatoes and vegetable medley...plentiful and delicious. Chicken Francese with mashed potatoes and vegetable medley...fork tender chicken, well battered and cooked, with a delicious sauce which went well with the mashed potatoes. Plenty of food leftover to take home...we had to have our desserts( apple strudels) to go. We were seated in the heated outdoor tent. Room was spacious and heated comfortably. read more

It's probably because they were setting up for another event, but the service was kind of slow. I enjoyed the hollandaise sauce of my eggs Benedict, but one of the eggs were over cooked. Overall this is a cute spot for brunch and I love the unlimited cocktails. read more

A gem!! Delicious food and top notch service. The presentation makes you want to dive right in. The portions are a tad bit on the large side. But perfect to allow a right sized doggie bag home. They have a full dining experience menu. $28.00 that includes an appetizer, entree and desert. Great price. But get pricier if you order outside of that menu. I'd definitely go back. read more

This is a hidden gem in Brooklyn; I came here with the husband for brunch the drinks were flowing the food was good and service was top notch will be back again read more

Was here for the breakfast/lunch brunch and the food was delicious. Your choice of unlimited drinks with six to choose from, an appetizer an entree and a dessert. They have seating outdoor in the rear of the restaurant as well. I ordered the Lobster Bisque (was a bit too salty) and pancakes as my entree and the dessert was too go. Everything was delicious. The waitress could have been more communicative. The bill for 3 patrons was $97. I would definitely try it again. read more

I like this place! I've been there a few times. I always sit at the bar for the happy hour which is mon-thurs noon til midnight. I love trying all their $5 dollar appetizers. I would say some are smaller portioned, but it's only $5 so it's worth it! My favorite is their steak tidbits on garlic bread! I would also recommend their calamari. Their mozzarella sticks only came with 4 but they were pretty big and cheesy. Overall, good cheap food and friendly bartenders. Oh, and they also have live music on certain nights which I thoroughly enjoy. Wednesdays are karaoke nights! read more

We came on a Thursday night for dinner. They had a wonderful live band on a minute stage in front of the bar. Once we sat down we were greeted by a friendly waiter. He was very attentive and gave us full attention. My son ordered a lasagna and he was definitely shocked, expecting it to be 6x smaller. He ended up pretty joyful of what he'd ordered. When we got our food, it was nicely organized and had a very creative platter; the mashed potatoes were perfectly in a swirled shape. Meanwhile the appetizers were better than we expected! In other specialty restaurants we have been through, they'd always give us tiny portions of food which were very expensive. Furthermore, this Italian restaurant has been the best one we've ever been in. :) read more

Wonderful place with awesome drinks, good food and professional and friendly staff.. Went in this afternoon to celebrate my mother in laws Birthday. We were seated promptly, served drinks almost immediately and catered to which was terrific. The service was impeccable which helped ensure that our event was a sucess. We had a choice of menus with a variety which pleased all of our unique taste. From the minestrone soup, tomato and mozzarella, fresh salads all appetizers were devoured. Main meals consisted of Burger Plate, Liguini w/Seafood , Chicken Parm w/pasta, Penne ala Vodka with Shrimp, Grill Pork Chops. All dishes were clean with no complaints by any of us .. The bread on the table, plentiful and hot. Finale consisted of a Variety of desserts which included a Special Double loaded brownie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream for the birthday Girl..

This restaurant is beautiful and clean. It has a nice sunny outside area and the staff is lovely and professional. The food is amazing and the BRUNCH!!! OMG I love their Brunch. Bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and other cocktails on the menu. I loved their eggs benedict, it's so hard to find a place that knows how to make hollandaise sauce the right way!!! But more than that, the atmosphere is lovely. Our maitre'd Pedro, was wonderful with us. So much so, that my car died (because I left the lights on!) and I went back in and he got someone to help me !!!! Who does that ! Only a place with wonderful customer service. I almost hate having to write this review because then everyone will go and I won't get a table LOL. Greenhouse Café you rock!!! read more

I have to admit, Greenhouse Cafe was really excellent. The ambiance is certainly nice. Eggs Benedict Arnold that I have ordered was absolutely amazing, it had so much flavor and was absolutely yummy. The staff was awesome, literally everyone. Thanks Greenhouse Cafe. read more

Where do I begin?! Let me start by saying Greenhouse Cafe has amazing staff and an even more amazing manager, Peter. From beginning (making reservations) to the end, Peter was very accommodating, friendly and welcoming. It's not often you see a manager of a restaurant greet you at the door by name and help serve to ensure your guests are taken care of! I went there on 7/21 during brunch with 13 other people. The service was amazing! The food was filling and delicious, the atmosphere was great and I repeat the staff were beyond my expectations! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for any event! read more

came here with my best friends for a birthday brunch and we had an awesome time! we had Jimmy as a waiter and he was super nice and even came out with a "happy birthday" brownie for my girl. The food was great as were the drinks . Highly recommend for brunch! read more

If I could give this a zero star, I would. This is the third time I have been here. I believe that anyone could have a bad night, so I am a forgiving type of reviewer. I certainly will NEVER come back as long as the "manager" Lorraine is working there. I experienced bad (rude) service from her before, and complained to another manager on that occasion about her. This time, in an empty restaurant on a cold Monday evening, she chose to seat us right next to a large and loud party. When we asked to move to another part of her empty restaurant, instead of being accommodating, she copped an attitude saying the other parts of the restaurant were too cold. She simply did not want to get off her rear end and walk an extra three steps. She was incredibly rude! The food here has always been good and a great value. It's a shame that this person ruined my appetite for this restaurant. There are plenty of great choices for a good meal, warm atmosphere and friendly service all along 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. Avoid this one and Lorraine! read more

I was bit apprehensive when entering and seeing an empty restaurant. All of my apprehension was dispelled by the wonderful food I had the opportunity to eat. It is not fancy or pretentious, it is just downright good!!! Will definitely return for dinner and looking to try brunch this weekend. read more

Quite the average cafe, but beautifully decored inside and welcoming. Their brunch menu specials are limited, but I would love to get their tiramisus again. Their lemon sherbert was filling and I got a bit of a brainfreeze, but yum~ lemon ice. I had a barley soup which was quite nice, it was served on a plate slightly dipped inwards and i also had a salmon platter with mashed potatoes. I'm not really a big fan on the steamed vegetables (soggy carrots and string beans) but the chip on top of mashed potatoes was cute and humorous for my friend and I. read more

On Friday night, we were out looking for a place to eat and converse. So, we decided on the Greenhouse Cafe. This was my first time there, though my fiancee and her friend had been there a couple of times. We were seated in the back as soon as we got there. The atmosphere was okay. The back room features a large window that overlooks the small yard that is decorated with lighted trees. There was a band playing (a little loud for conversation) and a birthday party going on. They have a fixed price menu at $25 for an appetizer, entree, desert, and coffee. The food was pretty good, I ordered pork over a bacon-kraut with vegtables as the main course. The service was a bit slow, but we figured that the birthday party was overwhelming the staff (though it wasn't that large... trying to give them the benefit of the doubt). When it came time for desert, it took over 30 minutes to be served with coffee. We were okay with waiting because we were enjoying each others company. While the coffee came the desert never did. So after another 30 minutes I found a bus boy (since the waiter was nowhere to be found) to try and get our check. So he went and got our waiter. The waiter showed up and asked if we wanted our check and then he disappeared again for 20 minutes. We were about to just get up and leave some money on the table when he came back over and realized he didn't give us the check yet. So again, he went off to get the check. This time when he came back, I looked over the check and stated that he never brought out the desert, could he adjust the check accordingly. To which he replied "I don't have to take anything off the check." There was no, "oh I am sorry" or "let me see what I could do"... it was just a flat out "nope too bad for you". Together our bill was $45.50 and I usually tip 20%... But this time, probably the first time in my life, I left no tip. I figured that would cover the cost of the desert and make a statement about the service. I have no desire to ever go back to a place that treats their customers so poorly. With slow service and rude waiters. Third avenue has a ton of better establishments... if you find yourself in front of the Greenhouse Cafe, just keep walking, you will easily find something better. read more
