invited to an upscale eastern European restaurant in Brooklyn this week. Nice to have valet parking. Arriving at 5:30, we were one of the early tables. By 7:00, the 2 dining rooms were crowded. Service was professional. For our party of 6, the host ordered 5 tasty appetizers - crabmeat in tiny pastry shells, octopus, pate - ample portions to share. A reasonable person would have then stopped eating :) We have beef, chicken & fish entrees which were fine. and desserts were a final treat :-) Everything exceeded my expectations ! read more

Food was so good! We got a bunch of their apps and salads and a bottle of wine. Mood was great and ambiance was great. Highly recommend! Also great for big groups but call ahead. read more

First time back since they've moved and I really enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere. 2 sitting areas with pleasant decor, one has DJ podium and less light, another is more bright and less noisy. Overall it gives upscale vibe and is priced accordingly. Mostly big celebrations on weekends with very mixed crowd. Couch as a seating arrangement was not too comfortable, possibly because of half moon shape, heat was in-and- out but because of entry door in first parlor, there's a constant draft, probably feels better in warmer weather. All staff were friendly, polite and joked around at all times making it welcoming. Service was great until 2 big parties showed up and pretty much took over most service in first parlor which led to delays for the rest of us there. With that being said, our waiter remembered I asked for a bday candled dessert as soon as we sat down and it was delivered at the appropriate time. Food was good, loved tartar, black mussels with amazing sauce (wish they gave more bread for it), rack of lamb cooked to perfection (wish it was cut before plating and thickened side sauce), beef stroganoff thinly cut with flavorful mushroom sauce, steak - was delicious and cooked as requested but lacked seasoning on meat but not garnish. Avocado salad and octopus were uneventful. Drinks were good as well as desserts. Overall I'd definitely come back for dishes we loved. read more

Gorgeous place. One of a kind for South Brooklyn. The ambiance is luxe. Food - excellent. Service - top notch. On a pricier side, but you don't have to drive to Manhattan to dine upscale. Highly recommend and will be back. read more

Sweetspot Garden - Dessert - Salad Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Celebrated a birthday with a large group here on a Saturday. Everything was prepared and ready once we got there, plated beautifully. The tuna tartare, kani salad, & seared tuna stood out to me. Service was good but only for the first couple of hours. After that, no one came to our table to even clear the empty plates. Only came by to ask when to bring the dessert out. Throughout the first two hours, things felt super rushed. The waiter kept insisting on changing people's plates when it was clearly they were still eating- sometimes mid bite! I understand the desire to turn over tables but you have to understand that a large group, that books a Banquet, will be there for more than 2 hours. Unreal. The interior is gorgeous and everything is very clean. Food was great and everyone raved about that. It's just the service they really need to work on. When people are there to celebrate and enjoy themselves, the last thing they want is to constantly be rushed to inhale the food in front of them. Sometimes they'd clear the dishes with food still on them too. God knows I wanted to finish those oysters! lol can't believe they just took them away. read more

Ambience is great, food is ok, but portions are small and overpriced. Service is disappointing, slow and waiters are not attentive

Bad place. Portions was good for first month, after that they just cut in half portions and charged same price. Crazy music annoying all the time. No party room, crazy rusians yelling all over the restaurant. Service charge - WHAT THE FUCK??? And stop deleting truth reviews read more

All aspects were good to great- really enjoyable menu and service-cheers to the chef and available parking is a major plus

Went there for a bday dinner and had calamari that was undercooked! Got the worst food poisoning ever! The bill included 19 percent service charge! Nobody brought bread or water until asked and was charged for everything ! Even the bday cake slice was not provided! They used the dessert I ordered for someone at my table stuck a single candle on it and shoved it in bday persons face!!! Avoid this place like the plague! Overpriced, service is bad and they include the service charge! Plus u have to pay for the cost check and valet tooo read more

I had my 25th birthday dinner here on 1/19 and can't say enough great things about the night. Food, service and atmosphere were all immaculate and all of my guests had an amazing time! The waiters were nonstop helping out all the guests and the vibes were perfect. Highly recommend Sweetspot Garden for your next special occasion!! read more
