Have come here in the past and it been a much better experience than tonight. We will not be coming back for several reasons. Sad to see a Greenpoint staple go so down hill. Firstly, before walking in on a rainy night at 6 PM, we saw there were dozens of reservations available on resy, so we didn't think walking in would be an issue. We walked in and the place was full of empty tables, only around 4 tables were occupied. The hostess was extremely rude and immediately said she didn't think they had a table for us. I told her I understood, but I saw dozens of free reservations on resy...She eventually sat us, but had a bad attitude and honesty seemed pretty unhappy in her role from walking in...
If I had to choose a personal favorite restaurant in Broolyn, it'd hands down be Glasserie; During my summer living in NY, it was the only spot I visited twice. Once a glass factory, Glasserie embodies a hipster trendy vibe with exposed brick and candlelight (And true to the millennial taste, we love a converted industrial space). Its cozy and perfect for couples or small groups. Tucked away at the upper edge of Greenpoint towards Long Island City, it requires a Subway change from the L to G, making it a hidden gem of sorts. Reservations here are helpful but I wouldn't say essential. If this restaurant were in the heart of Williamsburg, I guarantee it'd have blown up by now and would've lost...
I found this place in the Michelin guide and immediately went there. I really wanted to try their smoked eggplant appetizer and after reading the menu I decided to take a Mezza Feast. The mezze feast had a lot of options and every one of them looked beautiful. I immediately reached for the eggplant and, oh no, that was my first disappointment. It was like I ate a spoon of liquid smoke. Lots of smokiness and not a drop of eggplant flavor. I began to taste other appetizers and almost all of them had one thing in common an oversaturated taste of seasonings and the lack of the ingredient's taste. Such aggressive taste enhancers simply did not allow you to enjoy combinations of appetizers, they j...
Extremely rude staff. Made a reservation for 7 people just an hour ahead of time but ended up arriving 30 min early. Restaurant was barely busy and I asked if it was okay and they said yes, but very passive aggressively. Every interaction was met with more passive aggression to the point we decided to get up and leave as the waiter was passing our menus and saying next time you need to call us ahead of time . They treated us like an absolute inconvenience. If you aren 't ready to serve us, just say so. Will never be coming back.

i may have had to trek 20 minutes in the searing sun walking across the bridge from queens to greenpoint to find this restaurant but my oh my was it worth it. truly some of the best pita I've had (high praise). The falafel was fried to a perfect crisp without being dry and were also the size of tennis balls I swear. Beets weren't my favorite and I wish you could choose the mezze offerings but at $24 I don't think this can be beat.
lovely interior, great atmosphere, good cocktails. food is a little pricy, cauliflower was delish, smoky eggplant also great although very small portion and bread to spread ratio wasn’t fair. we didn’t like the fish, it was dorada that day. it didn’t feel fresh and tasted weird. it was also a very small fish for $42.
This is a vegetarian's dream. The food is shareable and unassuming, but oh-so-good. Delicious cocktails. It's a casual, unpretentious vibe. Overall this place really impressed me and I will be back
We came here for lunch on a hot July afternoon and we absolutely loved it. Great food, cocktails and service. And it’s such a nice vibe/space. Can’t wait to return when I’m in New York again.

I would eat here again and order everything we got. Including the chocolate cardamom dessert that was not on the menu. Falafel was excellent crunchy moist. Yum!
Expensive for what you get. Portions could be much larger. HOWEVER: the quality of the food was amazing. Service very good.
