Restaurants near First Avenue Canarsie Line

Great staff and service and delicious food! The ambience and vibe in the restaurant is amazing every time

Everything was absolutely exceptional! The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was flawless – attentive, friendly, and professional. It’s clear that every detail has been carefully thought out to create an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t recommend this place enough – 5 stars all around.

Loved the food and the service; both were wonderful. My only problem was that the back of the restaurant was absolutely freezing even with the heat lamps. Some of us needed to wear our winter jackets while we were having dinner.

Sarah welcomed us and took some fun pictures of us around the beautiful tree and decorations. Adrianne was super attentive and offered great recommendations. I have been coming here for so many different occasions: work lunches, dinners, personal meet ups and today our first anniversary. The drinks were delicious. The food tasted like we were in Paris and the service was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful evening and of course - we will be back! I recommend the Coq au vin and the steak au poivre! The profiteroles and the cheesesteak were to die for with the amazing sauces on top.

Sherif was really great and the staff who seemed to work with him were caring, attentive and great at their jobs. Balade really went far to make people feel happy at Christmas. The only challenge (often in small restaurants on holidays) is the outrageous number of undisciplined kids, out way too late, and dogs now. It's too much and next time I won't go there on a holiday. If I have a dog sitting next to me, I'll graciously ask for a check after the first drink and go. I love dogs, but they do not belong in restaurants unless it is outdoor seating and people put restaurants on the spot with this act of absolute self-involved entitlement. This is the rude world we live in now however. My only concern and it didn't ruin our meal only because the staff was so completely great and I was distracted with the wonderful vibe.
