    Croquettes, lamb, red pepper spread, salad, and calamari. All delicious!
    Ivy Z.

    Great food. A small-ish menu but EVERYTHING was delicious. Yummy cocktails. Service was slow and music inside was a tad bit too loud (okay, really loud). Five stars on food!! Fun location in Greenpoint.

    Described by Brooklyn Magazine as a retro looking cafe with Mediterranean flair, Radio Star gives off a lowkey, diner like vibes with comfort food. We came for dinner. Given it is more like a cafe, I wonder if their breakfast and lunch options are better. We split the roasted garlic and half sour veggie jars for 4 dollars a piece. I wish we had gotten a bit more vegetables. The merguez in a blanket and the mushroom filo were really nothing memorable. The smoked charred short rib was very tender but on the fattier side with a lot of sauce. It felt like it should've come with something to eat it with like a bread, or rice. Lastly we split the broccoli rabe and lemon potatoes. Overall, cute interior with a diverse looking menu. I wasn't too impressed with our dinner, but given all the hype, I'm sure breakfast and/or lunch options may be significantly better.

    Stopped in for breakfast with a friend and had a good experience. Oat milk latte, feta pastry, sweet saffron cream cheese pastry, and berries, nuts and seeds, labne were all solid, with the cream cheese pastry being the clear highlight. Menu is pretty light - felt like more of a coffee/pastry situation than a full breakfast.

    Fish

    The dips were incredible. The jars are huge! Put the dips on everything. The tables are a little tight but that adds to the vibe. The fish was the least exciting but the rest was incredible.

    It's the Glasserie folks. We had the merguez in the blanket and saffron cream cheese pastry. Everything was delicious. Staff were young, sweet, enthusiastic, friendly. I'd love to return ASAP. The space is dreamy, and I'm wondering what it used to be, some of it (like the bathroom doors) kind of looked like an old school. They are going for a 1950s vibe, and wildly, manage to achieve it. Great location, right by Radio Transmitter Park. Don't sleep on this one.

    A simple delight! Worth any line- quality pastries and sandwiches that leave your taste buds bursting! So delicious and filling

    very cute diner vibes ! i stopped by for lunch and got the pork griddle sandwich and a cappuccino. the sandwich was tasty, but service was a bit slow -- i waited almost 30 min to get my food. i also realized after i didn't get the sauce that should come with the sandwich :^(

    The Fish in Parchment

    The Fish in Parchment was incredible -- everything at this place is thoughtfully done and flavorful. Also love the 304 cocktail, which makes scotch and rye feel like a summery combo.

    tofu griddle sandwich
    Sophie S.

    I have been to radio star twice now, once for brunch and once for lunch. I personally had a much better lunch meal! I also don't eat eggs or meat, so maybe that was the issue for brunch. But for their lunch I got their white orange tea, which was light and refreshing and their tofu griddle sandwich. This tofu sandwich was bursting with flavor, and I love the unique griddle cake (idek what it is) that acts as the bread in this sandwich. The dip they gave looks spicy, but wasn't really at all, and added tons of flavor to the sandwich. The interior is cute, and easy to get a spot mid day during the week. I even got a spot on a busy brunch day, and the staff were very nice to quickly sit us between reservations if we agreed to leave within a certain amount of time! They have a patio thats great on a nice day, but I've sat inside both times.

    Salad  broccoli  rabe

    I was so glad to visit Radio Star to catch up with a friend. We had a perfect relaxing afternoon in a super tasteful decor drenched in a sun while listening to perfectly curated music this place has such a great attention to detail! the salad and broccoli rabe were so tasty the service was lovely too

    Love this newish restaurant in Greenpoint! I went for lunch today. The restaurant is beautiful and very bright! The service is good, the guy helping me was nice and helpful. The food was yummy. I ordered the smoky pork griddle sandwich. It was perfect! The homemade chili sauce on the side was delicious.

    Came here for a slightly early dinner after a Broadway show with a party of 4 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation, but it didn't seem like we would have needed one, but I suppose better safe than sorry. The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

Calling him a bartender almost feels like an understatement--he's a true cocktail craftsman. I was amazed watching him create drinks based simply on a few words or flavors we mentioned. It felt less like ordering a cocktail and more like collaborating on one. Of course, he also nailed the classics. The Clover Club and Gimlet were both perfectly executed, and my husband tried three different whiskey cocktails throughout the evening and loved every single one. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for from a speakeasy: dark, intimate, and unassuming. The space is small, which adds to the experience, although the bar stools are definitely not designed for settling in for a three-hour hang (my only minor complaint). But honestly, that probably helps keep the experience moving and allows more people to enjoy this special spot. Attaboy is a great example of why NYC has such a legendary cocktail scene.
