    Egg sandwich was really good!
    Ginny C.

    This was a delicious spot for lunch or breakfast. I came in at 11:30am on Wednesday and there are plenty of seats available. However, it started getting busier around noon. I really enjoyed my latte with vanilla cold foam. It could've been a little less sweet, but it was still really good. I also really enjoyed my egg sandwich. It was really flavorful. I like the food here better than other spots in the area. Would recommend.

    Creamy chicken pasta and sautéed spinach 10/10!
    Kamesha L.

    This was my second time having food from here but the first was takeout. The food is even better in person. The service was quick, Chase was amazing and so pleasant (ask for him)! We had an amazing time the ambiance was fitting lighting and mood was everything. Had an amazing time food was great three ppl bill $150 we will be back

    lavender matcha latte
    Char G.

    I came for the pancakes and perhaps I may have ordered the wrong entree. I saw the reviews for the ricotta pancakes so I was sold. Maybe it was an off day, but the bananas could have been flambéed more and the ricotta pancakes seemed a little undercooked. I did enjoy my lavender matcha latte, but it seemed kind of pricey given it was served in a tiny glass. It could have been smoother, but the flavor was nice. I would still rate them 4 stars because our waitress was so sweet and helpful. The ambience was nice and inviting, and the rest of the entrees thy were ordered by my family were all 10/10. The prices are a little high for what you get- at least for the entree I selected and my drink of choice. But it's a popular spot for a reason. I'll give it another go when I visit in the future.

    Visited Little Ruby's on Berry Street in Williamsburg for a weekday lunch with a few colleagues and enjoyed the experience. It is a really cute space with a warm yet modern design. The restaurant is Australian-inspired and offers lunch and dinner service, plus a small bar (around five seats) and about 6-8 tables. We sat in the front, and service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Big Breakfast ($24), while my colleagues got the burger and one of the rice bowls. My breakfast was very good and felt like a nice, healthy option. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. It also came with sourdough bread, which I skipped, but it looked good. Overall, I really enjoyed the food, the space, and the service. I would definitely return to try more of the menu.

    Chicken Schnitzel
    Lauren P.

    If you get one thing, get the Shrimp Pasta. It's creamy, rich, full of shrimp and tomatoes, and has a tiny kick to it. My go-to every time! 5 stars for the shrimp pasta alone. You can skip the calamari--it's nothing special and is a pretty small portion. The chicken schnitzel is standard as well. Good, but not super memorable. This Ruby's is pretty small, so I wouldn't recommend it for bigger groups. Also, it doesn't save well in my experience, so it's 100x better to eat-in than take out. There's been one instance where the hostess made it seem like I was inconveniencing her when I said that I received a text that my order was ready for pick-up. She looked at me, sighed, closed her book she was reading, and reluctantly went inside the restaurant. Prior to this, I had only checked-in with her one time (when I arrived) that I had an order.

    Bronte burger w sweet potato fries
    Gloria L.

    I've been to the soho location a few times and the service/food was excellent there so I expected nothing less from this Williamsburg location! Safe to say, I was right The service was excellent. I wanted to add one more to my party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us. I had a reservation and I didn't have to wait long for my table to be ready. The food came out in a timely manner and it didn't take long for the waitress to refill our waters when it was empty I usually get pasta but I decided to try the Bronte burger and omg, it was SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I highly, highly recommend if you are considering it!! The ciabatta was toasted perfectly and the burger (I got medium) was soooooooo juicy. Not sure what I was expecting bc I've never had a burger on ciabatta but it exceeded my expectations. I ordered sweet potatoes fries on the side and I love how crispy they were. The garlic aoli (I think)) tasted so good bc it was so garlicky!! Also can't go wrong with strawberry lemonade :) The Brussels sprouts, however, were a no for me. The sauce that the brussel sprouts were covered in was really good - kinda sweet. But once you get through the sauce, the brussel sprout is a little bitter. So I wouldn't get it again. The calamari was good

    Salt and pepper fried calamari
    Leah B.

    My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant while walking through Williamsburg, and I'm so glad we decided to stop in! Everything we had was absolutely delicious. We started with the salt and pepper fried calamari--it was so tasty and well-seasoned. For my entrée, I had the shrimp pasta with grilled shrimp, spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, arugula, lemon, cream, crushed red pepper, and breadcrumbs--every bite was amazing. My husband went with the fried chicken burger, made with crispy buttermilk fried chicken, pickles, coleslaw, and spicy mayo on a sesame bun. It was just as delicious! For drinks, I ordered the Little Ruby, while my husband tried the watermelon cocktail--both were refreshing and paired perfectly with our meal. On top of that, the service was great, and I loved the ambience. The food, drinks, and overall vibe were spot on--I can't wait to go back!

    Decent food but nothing special. Staff were nice and the restaurant itself is cozy. Cocktails were underwhelming

    Avo toast
    Nancy L.

    Came here for brunch on two consecutive days (unintentionally lol). The first visit I got the avo toast, which was delicious and slightly delightfully spicy. The second visit I got green eggs bowl. Though healthy, this was disappointing as it lacked any kind of flavor. About the restaurant itself, it's conveniently located a couple blocks from the Bedford L station and is quite spacious. The staff is also so friendly, so overall I would recommend checking out Little Ruby's!

    Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and Chicken Avocado Salad
    Joanna M.

    Little Ruby's has multiple locations across the city serving brunch options from avocado toast to pasta. I've had Little Ruby's both as takeout and dine-in and I prefer the dine-in vibe, at least for the Williamsburg location. Service is friendly and efficient. The vibe is similar to many of the nyc brunch places with a touch of boho. The only difference is you don't have to worry about them kicking you out after 90 minutes. My favorites include the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni, the Chicken Avocado Salad, and the Banana Bread. I've also had the Shrimp Avocado Salad and Spicy Italian Sausage Pasta on separate occasions when ordering takeout which were both pretty average. The Chicken Avocado Salad is consistently good whether it is eaten as take-out or dine-in. Portions are bigger when dining in. If you're looking for semi-affordable vibey brunch that will still fill you up, Little Ruby's fits the bill. Don't skip the spicy vodka rigatoni, lest you want to spend $50 dollars on a subpar vodka pasta elsewhere.

    Incredible banana bread with passion fruit butter
    Alexa M.

    While visiting Williamsburg with my bestie, we wanted something yummy and close by to have brunch. Little Ruby's happened to be in our vicinity, and I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem on our walk! We entered the building and were quickly offered indoor or outdoor seating, being that it was a lovely fall afternoon we opted to sit outside to enjoy the fresh air. After a quick look at the menu, I went with breakfast burrito (sans meat as I'm vegetarian), a hot cinnamon latte, and an order of banana bread. We were given water, and our coffees to enjoy while we waited on our food to arrive which did not take long at all. The latte was perfectly sweet, and such a nice treat in the cool fall air, now my burrito...seriously one of the top breakfast burritos I've ever had. It was so flavorful, and I really enjoyed the green dipping sauce that it came with. The banana bread came warm, and absolutely blew me away! It was paired with a passion fruit butter, which was very fragrant and you could absolutely taste the passion fruit. It was such a unique combo that I would have never thought to pair together, such a delicious treat! I loved everything about my experience at Little Ruby's Williamsburg, and would definitely visit again if I'm ever back in the area. Definitely suggest stopping by if you have the chance!

    Chicken Avocado Salad
    Victoria K.

    DId not expect to love Little Ruby's as much as I did! The interior is really cute and perfect for catching up. It's not too loud, though you are slightly close to your neighbors since the tables are pretty close together. I loved the spicy vodka pasta so much. I think that's the reason why I'm giving it 5 stars. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and though I thought the vodka sauce could have used slightly more spice, the sauce was creamy and flavorful. Truffle frles are also delicious and crispy! On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend the chicken avocado salad. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely on the lighter side, and I wish it had more flavor. Whether it was in the dressing or the add ons.

    Kale salad with grilled halloumi
    Priyanka M.

    Service was good. Ambiance was very crowded but the tables were well spaced enough to not feel too cramped. Food was great. Kale salad was delicious, lightly dressed and kale was finely chopped so easily digestible. I was able to add grilled halloumi as a protein option as well. Unfortunately the grilled halloumi was a little too salty and overcooked. Friends got the breakfast burrito and burger and they loved it. Def would recommend but try to make a reservation before. We came on a Saturday around 11am. We had to add our name to a waitlist. Wait time was 30 min but we ended up waiting closer to 45 min for our table.

For brunch, The Osprey is on the pricier side but the value was absolutely there in the ambiance, service and dining. Would love to return for a lunch sometime and highly recommend to anyone visiting DUMBO.

Tandoori chicken schnitzel and farmer harissa salad was both good in its own way, crispy chicken clean oil to elements of mediterranean spices, bestie loved that mango chutney and fresh cucumbers on top of the schnitzel. I had the harissa lentil salad, nothing to rave on but that Lemon aioli from the pork belly croquette pairing, was so good on everythinggggg i repeat! more than the green sauce that the salad came with. The dessert mascarpone on the banana walnut was my personal fav with coffee subtle flavor and toffee bits but bestie enjoyed the bread more than I, the edges were kinda dry.

The prices were not expensive. But would have paid more if the portion size was increased. So out came the rigatoni. And after a few bites the pasta was still Al Dente. I prefer my pasta cooked all the way. And not Al Dente. The flavor was ok and not spicy. The music was blasting so a conversation was hard to have.

My friends skirt steak was small as she pointed it out to me. Looked like barely 4 to 6 ounces of skirt steak in the plate. I worked in hospital kitchen so I know a little something about portion sizes. My friend is small and was asking should she order dessert. But we passed. Because we were getting a headache from loud music. And people's conversations which were loud because of music blasting. Would I return, probably not. Service was friendly and fast.
