    Stumbled upon this place on a Sunday and went in for an early dinner/late lunch. Only ordered apps but everything was delicious. Only complaint was a few mussels had sand... Super flavorful and great menu selections. A bit pricier but great for a date night or special occasion.

    Korkscrew Bistro is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood. I've been twice now--once for brunch with family and once for dinner with my husband--and both experiences were excellent. The food is consistently delicious, the specials are always worth trying, and the service is warm and attentive. It's hard to believe this place has only been open for 10 months because it already feels like a cornerstone of the community. The owners clearly care about what they do, and it shows in everything from the menu to the overall vibe. While the interior is a little kitschy, it adds to the charm, and the quality of the food more than makes up for it. With reasonable prices and such a welcoming atmosphere, Korkscrew Bistro is the kind of spot you hope every neighborhood has. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's places like this that make supporting local businesses so rewarding.

    The service is the first thing you'll notice at Korkscrew- you feel genuinely welcomed and wanted! The food is delicious - so fresh, so well executed, with interesting and new combinations. Brunch and dinner are top notch! While they don't yet have their liquor license, the wine selection is wonderful and the owner is happy to recommend, which I always love. And you wouldn't know they didn't have a liquor license because the wine based cocktails are so yum! The bar is the type you could sit at forever. And the back room/dining area is bright and lovely. The art is from local artists. Can't recommend this place enough :)

    Wow! I am absolutely blown away by this lovely restaurant. It's tucked away on a well-known street, in a well-known location in Brooklyn but in an area where there isn't much activity going on in terms of businesses. With that being said, I love how low-key it is. Based on this, no one would know that they have absolutely delicious food, which means a lot considering that there were four people in our party and everyone devoured their food and throughly enjoyed it as well. I had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and textured. Even the fruit that came with the meal was fresh and the perfect portion. Another thing I liked about the restaurant was that there was something on the menu for everyone and those in our party who preferred healthier options were able to seamlessly order something for themselves. Our waiter was attentive, quick, and patient. The restaurant owner/manager greeted us in a friendly and professional manner when we arrived and when we left. It feels like the goal of the restaurant was to make sure everyone was good at all times, as in, they were big on service. I also loved the ambiance of the place because they have a nice little bar in the front and several tables in a much larger area in the back. Plus, the restroom was clean, comfortable and had warm water AND soap available. The restaurant overall felt homey and cozy. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular there. May the restaurant bloom and prosper in so many good ways. I hope it becomes a Brooklyn staple.

    My wife and I found this place on out date night. It is like stepping into a wine bistro in europe. We fell in love with the decor. The owner took care of us. He was extremely nice and has an extreme knowledge of wine. He blew is away with his wine background. He paired our wine perfectly with our meals. I had the Pan seared red snapper turmeric cauliflower puree. Which was out of this world. My wife had the beet salad which was so fresh and delicious. This is our new go to date nite spot! So happy they are here!!!

    We loved this place! Great atmosphere-classy yet casual, great service, and delicious food! We went for brunch and loved the menu. I also appreciate when food is very visually appealing as it is here. We had fun brunch cocktails also. I can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu and the wine list looked great!

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
