    This is a review for both Please Tell Me as well as Mane, a Brazilian pop-up that's taken up a residency here for the foreseeable future. Given the culinary focus, I began my evening with a cachaça caipirinha, which was a strong and tasty start to the meal. We shared a number of small bites, including the queijo coalho, pao de queijo (of course), and the corn ribs. The pao de queijo was my favorite - the pao were not too chewy and came served with a decadent side of butter. I would skip the corn ribs next time, while visually appealing there wasn't much to note here. The bar itself was pretty quiet on a weeknight and was giving me mid-2010s Mood Ring energy. I think it gets pretty popping here on the weekends.

    Have you ever gone somewhere and wanted to return as soon as you left? That's how I feel about Please Tell Me. Home of the OG NY wine window, the vibes were immaculate in this establishment. We were welcomed with the best playlist for a Sunday afternoon and like we were having a meal at a friend's house. And then there was the food. Every dish was better than the next. We had the grilled cheese, which was served on skewers, the potatoes, which were two types of French fries and pieces of hot dog with two sauces and the kale, which is a must order. And then there was the wine window. Why doesn't every restaurant have one?! I can't wait to go back.

    Please tell me has amazing food. The spot is cute and cozy not too big just enough for a small party and decent drinks not the strongest but they're still good. The photo is amazing. I love their hamburger. I was craving it for a whole entire week I had to go back and get some more. The kale salad is amazing. It has a Nice crisp to it with the sauce that they put together delicious. The wings were good to go on a Wednesday day a dollar get to save a lot. The street corn is really good too. Unfortunately, I only got pictures of the street coin instead of the rest of the food cause I was busting it down. The waiter, who was there I was so sweet. He's hilarious. Very kind hearted and I appreciate the service. Thank you.

    Visited Please Tell Me for the first time this evening for a filmmaker mixer event and the vibes were absolutely stellar! Delicious drinks across the board, great music, intimate/cozy interior, and tons more. Asia, one of the servers/hostesses, was an absolute star and made everyone feel so welcome. Will definitely be back!

    I'm tempted to rate this place lower to gatekeep it.... but for real, I love this bar. The space is definitely on the smaller side, which makes it more intimate for sure. Good drink prices, nice owner, amazing music, super poc friendly--I don't think there's anything else I could ask for. I can't wait to come back when it's warmer and there's outdoor seating.

    A cute and fun bar with delicious bites and drinks conveniently located in Williamsburg near the subway. I love how it is decorated inside and outside. (I was excited to finally see the lovely wine window in person!) Party of 3 people on a Friday around 7. There is indoor and outdoor seating. When we arrived the earlier crowd was finishing up so we were able to get a corner table inside before they started filling up again. By the time we left the DJ had started and a lot of people were steadily coming in. Please Tell Me was apparently inspired by classic Japanese listening rooms. There are weekly "Winyl" (wine + vinyl) parties that feature discounted glasses of wine. Per the Instagram page they also have some fun DJ nights other nights, plus I noticed that there was a brunch event this weekend. (PS I love that there is actual vinyl and turntables.) They are probably best known on social media for the wine window that pays homage to the Buchette del vino of Florence, Italy. We had a lot of fun posing at the window! You can order and receive wine through the window, and then enjoy the wine on Please Tell Me's patio or take it to go. (Note that takeout alcohol requires Ordering food per NYS law.) Zae was working the bar that night and took our orders for food and drinks, and helped us decide on wine. Their cocktails look amazing but I had already been set to have one of their natural wines that night. Due to the popularity of Winyl Wednesdays they didn't have any rosé that night, so instead we each had the delicious Podrum Franjo Croatia 'Rudi' Sauvignon Blanc. For food we shared: The Brisk Stand Burger - amazing! 2 of us rarely order burgers but were told this was phenomenal and it definitely was! Watermelon Salad with feta cheese - delicious and refreshing El Rey (full charcuterie offerings) - we couldn't decide which to order so figured may as well sample the full set! This went really well with the white wine on a warm day. I can't wait to come back to try the cocktails next, and definitely hope to make it here for Winyl Wednesdays.

    Please tell me is the next big thing! The vibe curated here really is home grown and a true neighborhood feel. The service and people running the spot were so nice, and the drinks are great as well. Will definitely be making this one of my Williamsburg hang outs!

    This spot is my go to everytime I'm in Brooklyn, the vibes and music is always on 10. The staff is the nicest & helpful, the new summer menu is crazy. All the food was good , I had no complaints ! The drinks were amazing as well

    Please tell Me has an incredible atmosphere. It's very welcoming, meeting people here feels so natural. Cocktails are the best in the neighborhood and the food is delicious. But the best part about it is the music. The selection of hip hop, rap, afrobeats, dancehall is highly curated. you can't find this music played this consistently anywhere in New York City. And the sound system is A1.

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.

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.

Overall, the a la carte menu is pretty small, so definitely check it out before you commit to eating here. Pineapple pork fried rice - Aside from the hollowed out pineapple that it came in, the presentation was a little weak (mostly rice, and very small pieces of toppings). The rice lacked color, which ultimately, did make the dish lean on the bland side. I did not think it had enough wok hei (flavor and aroma that comes from being cooked on a wok). We did like that the pork was lap Cheong (Chinese sausage) 3/5 Heritage 5 spice ribs - This was the only winner. Excellent flavor. 4/5 Pork Croqueta Banh mi - Despite the restaurant being Mexican Vietnamese fusion, we were pretty surprised to receive the sandwich that we did. It was pretty different from a traditional banh mi except for the veggies. I was not a fan of the sesame seed bun. The pork croqueta was ok but not wow in any way. 2/5 The restaurant is a bit out of the way. Easy to find parking because there's nothing else around.
