Best Family Style Restaurants in Bensonhurst

I love Hawksmoor. I've always loved the London locations, and was at the New York one when it first opened. I've been back to Hawksmoor 4 times since then and always had a good meal including last night. I'm taking one star off because the welcome by the hostess was cold bordering on rude when I arrived. She was deep in a conversation with her coworker and was gesturing to her and ignoring me. When I made eye contact with her she glared and when I finally gave my name her colleague sat me at my table. That colleague and every waiter in actual restaurant were wonderful, but it is an issue when that is the first person you come into contact with. The food was excellent, Potted Beef, Bone in Striploin (perfectly cooked) mac and cheese, spinach were all excellent. Pro tip, go on Monday night and corkage fee is only $10!

My experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was excellent from start to finish—from the starters to the desserts, every dish was delicious. I opted for the premium family-style menu, which allowed me to taste almost everything, and it did not disappoint!

From the moment I walked through the door I felt genuinely cared for by every member of the staff. The offerings were creative and went together perfectly; I felt like I was at a culinary Metropolitan Museum of Art! This wasn’t just a dinner, it was an experience. I travel all over this planet and have eaten at some of its best restaurants. None have combined food, art, science, and soul like Cafe Mars.

CLASSIC brasserie. If you like the timely dishes of steak au poivre, mussels, duck, etc. this is the THE place in the neighborhood. The ambience was perfect and the service was great. Saw lots of regulars come in and the staff knew everyone by name. Highly recommend.

We always do the family style meal. You will leave stuffed. Nice variety of food and all the food is cooked just right. Staff is very friendly and attentive.
