    Pork Chop
    Tyler S.

    The focaccia bread was really good, as was the pasta. The service was average, but the ambiance was really great.

    We talked Homer into a photo with us after he gave us the hats! Great experience all around!

    We happened upon this restaurant while staying in the area and were absolutely delighted by the service and the ambiance! The food was absolutely delicious as well, we had the burrata salata which had a lavender honey drizzle that made it stand out! The Spaghetti Meg Ryan hit all the high points with delicious meatballs and finished with a bit of a kick! Our waiter, Jackson was great and gave us very personable service and the owner, Homer spent time talking to us and even gave us a couple of hats from his "private stash"!! Would definitely highly recommend this restaurant!!

    Came here for a late brunch with a couple of friends and it was very chill. The place is bigger than it looks on the outside with nice sky-lighted seating in the back. We got the wedge salad (3.5/5), jalapeño cornbread (4/5) breakfast bowl with veggie chorizo (4.5/5) and shrimp and grits (4/5). Everything was solid, overall a pretty solid brunch place.

    Nachos without chicken

    What an intimate and fun spot! This is a small space so highly recommend making a reservation. We went on a Sunday evening and it was easy to get a table. I will say the menu is limited but everything we ordered was tasty and good portion size. We started with the nachos without chicken, which I was hesitant about ordering but it turned out being a hit. It has a slight kick to it, which I enjoyed. I'm glad they put black beans for protein. We also got the spiced nuts, which tasted like they had some Cajun flavors. I got the spaghetti as my entree and it was so simple but flavorful, which is exactly what I wanted! We were too full to order desert but want to check it out next time!

    Sunday brunch for 2. Thanks to my friend Frannie, I was introduced to this gem for a delicious brunch after an interactive art show at The William Vale on a Sunday afternoon. First of all, the place is so design-appealing, with rounded shelving, a half-circle counter bar area, the cutest window frames, colorful tiled tables and gorgeous tiled floors, friendly plants. Even their outdoor parkette is well-design and an extension of their indoor area with a beautifully tiled floor. It really is a designer's eye candy! We both ordered the chilaquiles and added grilled shrimp which was phenomenal. I ate every bite! From the delicious sauce, to the fresh herbs to the perfectly crunchy (not soggy) tortilla chips -- every bite was a delight. I couldn't believe there wasn't a line out the door when we arrived without reservations. The vibe is chill and relaxed which was just what we wanted. Can't wait to go back to try other dishes and take more photos.

    Outdoor area

    Really disappointed with this one. While the outdoor space was beautiful, 21 Greenpoint missed the mark with most of the dishes we ordered. I had the steak frites and substituted the fries for the cooked kale, but the kale was excruciatingly salty while the steak came out cold. We tried the crispy artichokes as one of the appetizers and it just didn't wow us, especially for the price point. The burrata with lavender honey was honestly the only thing that saved the day here. And if you're looking to eat expeditiously, this isn't the place for you. I understand that many restaurants are understaffed these days, but there was little communication with our server -- she didn't take our app orders until we had been sitting for about 30 minutes. I would reluctantly give 21 Greenpoint a second chance, only to try out its dessert.

    GREAT GREAT GREAT - went on a Wednesday so it was pizza night and the pizza was delish. We had the meg Ryan (the group loved the spicy sauce!) we also had the Hawaiian and the squash pizza with kale. All were excellent. What really stole the show were the apps, the wedge salad was phenomenal and the artichokes and calamari were insane! The dipping sauces that came with the dishes were the best I've had in a while. Great atmosphere and drinks and wine as well. Will def be back!

    Nachos

    Good food. The Nachos were the best thing we ordered, not too spicy, just perfect. Lovely place

    Brooklyn has so many new and interesting restaurants opening up everywhere, it is not easy to keep up. The name of the restaurant is the address of the restaurant, makes it easy to find and to remember. It was pretty packed, and seemed rather small. They had a bar right at the entry, and very small amount of seating... But, we discovered they actually have more seating in the back with bigger tables! The back room was very nice and cozy, quiet and relaxing. Well, until this room got filled up. We ordered a few items since we were all hungry. We got a Special Pizza of the Day, which was white pizza with mozzarella, permesan, and pepperoni. It had quite the punch from the chili flakes, good and spicy! We also ordered a Market Fish, which was Scottish trout. The fish was very much like salmon. It had great mix of fish and sweet watermelon! The last item we ordered was Pork Chop New York. The pork chops was nothing like I imagined, and quite tasty! The meat was packed with flavor with perfect amount of seasoning. For dessert, we asked what the "Seasonal Cobbler" is, and we were told it is apple and pear. It came out piping hot, rather small but since we were full, that was ok. It had some rosemary that added aroma and flavor which was quite pleasant. It was not too herb-y but just enough. I was used to getting ice cream with cobbler in the past, but their cobbler does NOT come with ice cream. So, we added order of ice cream as well. We chose Vanilla and Blueberry Olive Oil ice cream. The ice cream came out first, and it took a while for the cobbler to come out. So about the time the cobbler finally reached our table, the ice creams were gone... The service was good and friendly. We were taken care of nicely, felt welcomed in a relaxing atmosphere. It was a good find on the restaurant, with good food and service. The price point is rather high, though.

    Seated in the back room table for 3. It was a nice evening, their first night open since January. The ambiance was really nice with tee light candles around the room and dimmed light fixtures. Very cozy vibes. We ordered a salad, burger, steak and fries. All which were delicious. Definitely would come back! Our waitress also was so kind and recommended the bottle of wine which was medium body, red. Perfect pairing with the steak and burger. I think the fries alone was the highlight. I could have a bowl of those crispy fries and a bottle of the wine and leave so happy! They do charge service fee 3.50%, likely due to Covid times and restos taking a hit? We didn't mind of course! All around happy patrons.

    Homer's Day Off (Tequila, Hibiscus, Lime) and Prologue
    Dominique N.

    One of only two Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's owned by Bill Murray's son, Homer, whose creativity is on display as the menu changes regularly. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly, despite each dish being highly refined and delicious. Definitely worth a repeat visit.

Let's start with the good - the service and ambiance were on point. I went on a Sunday evening around 7pm. It was busy inside, but since I was a solo diner I was seated immediately by the bar. The servers were friendly and attentive. Probably 3-4 different people checked in multiple times throughout the meal. Where I struggle is with the actual burger itself. As a non-resident New Yorker, for me $22.50 is a lot to spend on a burger and fries. It needs to rock my world at that price point. And it just didn't. I got the B&B Burger. The onion ring tasted like it had been refried a second time to make my burger. The bread was crumbly like it was on the verge of going stale. The actual beef patty itself was decent - good flavor. Usually I can overlook an okay burger if the fries are top notch, but these fries were under-seasoned and also 'just okay'. I also got a side of Chicken Tenders. These were good - no complaints here. I really wanted to like this spot, but not sure this would be a return visit for me.

Not sure what to expect from this one but turns out it was perfect, unique and delicious. The cheese taste really shined through. Overall, we were super happy with the food here.

Today however it wasn't pizza that brought me here, it was the famous Emmy Burger. To begin with the atmosphere of the restaurant is dim lighting a few tables with a reasonable sized bar in the middle of the room. They also have an open kitchen concept where just past the bar you can see the cooks working. My server Inda was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. My burger was excellent, normally I don't eat my burger with a knife and folk, but in this case with all the cheese and sauce oozing down the sides, not to mention the caramelized onions, it was necessary. (If I were home I wouldn't mind having burger juices running down my arm, but other people were eating in the restaurant also). The tiny pickles which I can't remember the name of were an added treat to the burger. I decided to order mine with the loaded fries. Just imagine the ground burger with all the toppings covering french fries and add melted white cheese. Since I was alone I didn't order a pizza because how would I eat it all, but next time I will try the pizza. I don't mind paying extra for a burger when it's aged beef and the taste is great. I definitely recommend this location. There is a fast food burger restaurant next door to Emily's but I can't imagine there burgers compare. I will try them another time and let you know. That's all for now, see you on my next review.

Both restaurants have been in business for well over half a century with well-deserved accolades. Despite having grown up in Brooklyn, I hadn't been to either before this year. I read reviews and actually asked ChatGPT what to order at R-N-R. We went with its suggestion: medium roast beef with cheese, onion rings, root beer and lemonade. My sandwich was more well-done than requested. They don't offer 'rare'. The few bites with red meat were infinitely better than the rest of the sandwich. The roll, as everyone points out, is baked in house. Though light and puffy, it didn't outweigh overdone beef. Onion rings were great, root beer average, and lemonade -- per my husband who loves lemonade -- excellent. While I wouldn't balk about returning, my vote goes to Brennan and Carr, though truly, when cooked as requested there is no substantial difference. If you take the train, get off at Sheepshead Bay Road and head south. Turn left at Emmons Avenue and keep walking. Twenty minutes all told.

Yuzu honey lemonade has bits of citrus at the bottom of the drink and it was refreshing. I saved the chicken bites hours later and it was still pretty crispy after being microwave.

I probably had really high expectations because my first Au Cheval burger in Chicago was one of the best burgers I've ever had.
