Best Fun Restaurants in Bay Ridge

We came here for my girlfriends birthday and loved every minute. The restaurant is beautiful, and the food is excellent. The highlight, however, was Nicholas, he is a fantastic waiter. The right amount of attentive, always made sure our glasses were full. My girlfriend was feeling a bit indecisive on her birthday so we asked Nicholas for suggestions. First the wine, he nailed it, I don’t often like white wine but his suggestion was perfect. He then suggested the margarita pizza, again nailed it. We were thinking of doing something with more toppings but the simplicity of the margarita pizza made it stand out. Oh! And Nicolas made my girlfriend’s birthday feel special by singing and bringing out a dessert with a nice little piece of chocolate saying happy birthday. Nicolas is a server every restaurant wants. My *only* complaint is that I think they could get rid of one table in the restaurant and the spacing would be much better. We sat in the tables along the wall, you know the ones with the booth on one end and the chair on the other. It felt a bit too much like I was dining with the people next to me rather than my significant other on her birthday. I understand one more table can make a big difference for income, but it was a tad too tight.

Pink Taco is amazing! My group of adults and tweens loved it. Delicious food, beautiful drinks and great service. And in a wonderful location for the theater.

We are big fans of Mariella. The food is great but most important is the service and atmosphere. They are simply the nicest every time. Case in point: last night we went back for first time in a month or more. First thing they said when greeting us was: “so happy to see you again. Your mom left a scarf here last time…we have been holding it for you!” None better!

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.

We held a birthday celebration dinner at Travere for 9 people...it was a blast! The food was outstanding, very high quality, and the service and ambience were great.
