    Classic Mussels
    Esther C.

    Came here for happy hour, ended up with probably a full dinner. The food was just so good! The staff were also very hospitable bringing us additional bread a few times for the mussels and escargot. Recette is a bit on the pricey side, but a nice treat and great ambiance. I look forward to coming again and trying the other menu items!

    Food was pretty good. I liked the mussels and escargot the best. The chocolate lava cake wasn't that good. There was no texture to it, just felt like mush and there was also no melt in the middle. Hibiscus drink was good. Service was a bit on the slower side. They messed up my matcha drink but changed it immediately after I told them. Ambiance was great, love the decor. Very nicely decorated with lights.

    Food was delicious, everyone I was with enjoyed what we ordered. The inside of the restaurant is so cute and they also have a covered and uncovered outside area. The service was a fantastic. I ended leaving my phone accidentally and had to pick it up later. They had it waiting for me and even charged it. I think the only reason for not being 5 stars was that it felt a bit pricey for what it is (though like I said delicious!)

    Recette is a gem In Williamsburg. We came here on a whim for lunch and Osmond took care of everything which made us feel so special. From their signature cocktails to the menu, everything was simply top-notch, and I cannot for the life of me have anything but praise for the establishment and the staff. I highly recommend this little corner spot and you should procrastinate too long. Super laid back yet beautiful setting.

    Burrata was very tasty,  nice fresh made pesto,  made while we arrived... Nicely done...

    Wow I'm impressed. This is the best meal we've had in NYC. The peppersteak was so good. The sauce was perfect with Madagascar green peppercorns in the sauce, which most places skip. Nicely cooked and meat was good quality. The onion soup was good too. Soup was tasty, only comment is cheese could be more flavourful, but all still good. Burrata was well done too, fresh pesto was made while we here. Crispy bread... Nice. The berry mocktail was also delicious. Seriously I would eat here often if I lived near here... And the service was outstanding and vibe lovely....

    This place is great. Excellent food and ambiance, and great drinks as well. Would definitely consider returning and trying more.

    Have been here twice and both times were excellent! We got a few bites that were really high quality, also sampled a few different wines just asking to try before ordering which was really nice and servers were super helpful in guiding us on what to order. The man who dropped plates/cleared them was also really really nice, asked if we wanted salt and pepper then did the serving of it, was just smiling and such a pleasant and lovely energy. It's indoor outdoor seating too which is really nice for any weather. Would def check this place out and I'll be back again!

    It was a Monday night, so quick to be seated. Pretty busy inside, but nothing crazy. But I think there was only one server/bartender and one helper/food runner. There's the rub. Started with the French onion soup, which was decadent, sumptuous, hot, savory, cheesy. Loved it. Made a mess all down my sweater while trying to slurp every last bite. Other starters: steak tartare, escargot, wild mushroom flatbread, octopus, burrata, kale and fennel salad, Cesar salad, mussels, and more. There is also a selection of cheese and charcuterie. For my main, I had the server's recommendation of steak frites. The frites were hot and crispy. The steak was tender and well charred, but the flavor was mediocre. I wish I had gone with the braised short rib cavatelli or the bright primavera pasta (spaghetti, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, olive oil, garlic). Other mains include mixed mushroom truffle gnocchi, which also looked great, as well as roasted chicken au jus, Branzino, ribeye, and crab cakes. For cocktails I tried the Miss O'Hara, made with passion fruit puree, tequila, mescal, lime juice, and Himalayan salt. Probably one of my favorites. Very flavorful and refreshing. The rising sun, made with vodka, triple sec, white cranberry, lavender, and a hibiscus infused ice ball wasn't bad, but was one of two things: lacking flavor and excitement, or was a minimalist drink made for those looking more for a spirit forward drink with fewer bells and whistles. The three shades of green, made with cucumber, gin, chartreuse, and lemon juice, was a light palate cleanser to close out the night. The meal was fine. But the restaurant needs more staffing. Nothing against the server/bartender and the other staffer helping--they were trying their best. But management, take note. I would come back and try the food and drink again, but the service was so slow, I would hesitate to return. And again, I visited on a Monday night.

    Miss O'Hara and Jardin
    Charlin P.

    Walking into Recette felt like being transported to France. The ambiance, the service, and attention to detail in the decor made the entire dining experience feel special and intimate. We kicked things off with the Miss O'Hara and Jardin cocktails. Both were delicious, but the Jardin really stood out with its subtle kick. Honestly, all of the appetizers were amazing. It was my first time trying Steak Tartare and Burgundy Escargots--both unique, flavorful, and prepared with care. But the Wild Mushroom Flatbread stole the show for me--rich, earthy, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, I had the Braised Short Rib Cavatelli--10/10. Comforting, bold, and melt in your mouth good. As much as I wanted to try dessert, I'm on a caloric deficit --but trust, I'll be back. Recette has officially become one of my favorite restaurants

    Primavera Pasta and braised short rib cavatelli
    Jamie L.

    My friend and I stumbled upon this charming little restaurant and decided to give it a try. We started with the steak tartare and charred octopus--both incredibly fresh and beautifully plated. For our entrees, we went with the Primavera Pasta, which was light and a solid healthy option, but the real star of the meal was the braised short rib cavatelli--rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Easily the best dish of the night!

    Super cute brunch place in Brooklyn! I love, love, loved the vibe sitting in the outdoor patio. The flowers on each table were super pretty-- reminded me of a nice little restaurant in Europe! Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the lobster Benedict, which I really liked. It was the perfect balance of rich and tangy. My friend ordered the Nutella French toast, which was good, but a bit too heavy and sweet for my liking. Honestly, I thought it would be great if there was a regular French toast option on the menu!

    Oui Mademoiselle
    Tori G.

    Had a lovely Friday night dinner here at this cute little French restaurant. The service was great - very attentive waitress and the drinks/food all came out pretty quickly. The interior of the restaurant is small and it was very busy with every seat was taken. The bar was pretty and very well stocked. Our cocktails were great - we had the Jardin, Oui Mademoiselle, and espresso martini's. The menu itself feels a bit limited, but the steak frites with the peppercorn sauce was very good. My husband had the ribeye accompanied by broccolini, roasted garlic, and chimmichuri sauce. Overall, this place was good, but I feel like the prices were a bit steep all things considered.

    Steak Frites
    Rachel C.

    Food was enjoyable but lacked authenticity, having lived in Paris for 7 years. Service was solid and ambiance was nice. I really enjoyed the kale salad and the steak frites, though.

My favorite dish here is probably the mussels, great flavor and would probably go well with a glass of wine! The first time I came I tried a cocktail which was very good but because the dishes are very flavorful it might have been too much sugar/salt. The portions here are huge as well so I think for the price its very worth it. It's a cute restaurant as well with open kitchen so great for a date if you're sitting at the bar or if you have a group the tables are pretty big as well.

This place was the winner, and it was everyone's first time. We got in at our reserved time, and we had to wait about 5 minutes before our table was ready. Once it was, we were taken care of and quite frankly had no idea what treat we were in for! Let's start with the drinks. They have a drink on the menu called Celadon City. Who won the staff as a pokémaniac?! I had to get it just for the name. The rice vodka, yuzu, melon liqueur, and other flavors made it a fantastic, summery drink. My friends got the Smooth Landing & Smooth Talker ... One was a fantastic dirty martini and the other had the best bite of ginger. The food... Oh my God. We decided to split the breads and spreads and burrata... Each came with their housemade grilled focaccia, and the smoked paprika hummus and ricotta with chili honey? WHEW! The burrata dish with the sweet potato, pesto and tomato jam was a hit too. The menu didn't even say I'd have a balsamic drizzle on top! All of that was just the warm up... My gnocchi dish was spectacular. I'm not even a big mushroom person, but those oyster mushrooms and charred kale were a hit in the pasta. My friends' gigli pasta and mussels were great too. We ended up sharing a bottle of white wine as well, and the dinner was truly a 5/5. 0 I would absolutely go back, and it seems like their menu changes every now and then. I'm looking forward to the next time! Even if it's just for a cocktail.

The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious.

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

Sam was wonderful to also suggest us really delicious, salty, fresh and wild white wines to pair with our dishes. Everything we had were perfectly cooked with bold flavors. I could definitely taste the care and detail put into every dish. For the smoked sablefish dish, the sauce was so delicious, we asked for some toasted in-house sourdough to soak it up.

My favorites were the clams, the tuna, and the rice dish,all three were so simple but done really well. The tuna especially tasted incredibly fresh and balanced, and the clams had such a light, clean flavor that worked perfectly with the wine. You can tell this is one of those places focused on quality ingredients and a more understated approach to food rather than overly heavy flavors. Overall, really glad we went and it's definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you love sharing plates and trying a bunch of different dishes throughout the night.
