    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!!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

As many others have noted, I dare you to show me a ten-course meal (8 savory, 2 sweet) that even comes close in terms of culinary inventiveness & excellence for the $62 tariff! Last night killed once again...with standouts like the shrimp, fois gras and pork belly setting things up for the newly added risotto with crab that absolutely blew us all away! And that amazing food is framed with an excellent cocktail and wine service. The Spirits selection goes out of its way to ensure you're drinking amazing, off-the-beaten-path kinda stuff that you've never heard of before...Vodka from Japan & Spain, Gin distilled in France, Mexico and Illinois (the Thresh & Winnow gin was the find of the night!) legit Tequila and Mezcal that are thankfully untouched by celebrity endorsements, and small batch Bourbon & Rye that blows away the big producers! And Traif has one of the most well curated...and frankly, affordable...wine lists around! Besides the wonderful Pinson Chablis and Beck Ink Zweigelt we ordered, I was shocked to see Ziereisen Gestad Syrah (very hard to source and quite amazing) priced at just a fraction over retail. And to cap it all off, it goes without saying that the people and service are Tip-Top. Bravo, guys...keep it up!!!

However, after we had four dishes and tried a few of the signature cocktails, I ended up thrilled with how wonderfully each of their experiments worked. Tonight on our fourth visit we all had the Chef's Selection (portions of eight dishes chosen by the restaurant) and collectively worked our way through the outstanding specialty cocktail menu. The majority of the dishes and the cocktails were new and different, as has been the case on each of our visits. Simply put, the food, drinks and service were all spectacular. The consistent excellence and variety over all of our four visits makes Traif a can't miss destination. As out-of-towners, I only wish we could get here more often.
