Best Historic Restaurants in Bay Ridge

We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday with a small group, and everything exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding, the food was exceptional, and the drink menu was both creative and delicious. Since we don’t drink alcohol, the manager kindly crafted custom mocktails just for us—a thoughtful and unexpected touch. We were also pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary pizzas for the table, which we truly appreciated. We’ll definitely be returning and can’t wait to recommend this fantastic new spot to all our friends!

We had a really nice time at the piano bar, the Christmas decor was beautiful and went so well with the existing decor, its like stepping back in time to another era. Kudos to whoever hung the garland on the outside columns, so symmetrical and well done, a grand holiday entrance providing a warm festive welcome! The second pianist we heard that evening was absolutely wonderful, he played beautifully and he sang with a light heart. He interacted with the crowd in a non intrusive way that enabled the diners not only to enjoy their food but to make casual musical requests and really enjoy the music as well. I could see that he was reading the room and playing more of the style he saw folks enjoying. I especially loved his riff that gently melded into a beautiful rendition of Let it snow, it made the cold December night sparkle with joy!

The chips and salsa were TOO good. The margaritas were nice, some very interesting. I lived in Oaxaca for two summers and was looking forward to authentic chicken mole. I was somewhat disappointed: the flavor was excellent but, unlike in Oaxaca, the chicken was cooked separately and the sauce added when the dish was served. The chicken was overcooked and did not have an infusion of mole flavor. My dinner companions enjoyed their enchiladas and tacos. I tasted and did not find them to be as good as in Mexico. We ordered flan and tres leches. Both were too sweet for my taste. The flan was coffee flavored and was missing the slightly bitter bite of caramelized sugar.

This is a nice intimate space with good food and wonderful service.

Lovely spot for a late-summer catch up with a good friend. Tasty food - love the small plates and cocktails. Attentive but not overbearing service. Good place to return to
