Came here during the week with a couple of friends. The place is a bit small but the decor is very aesthetically pleasing with its clean and minimal look. I loved being able to see into the kitchen. The service was excellent. The waitress was very attentive and welcoming. Now in terms of food, I was a bit disappointed. The bread and seasonal butter was just cold bread with salted butter. We ordered the rotisserie chicken with haricot vert (green string beans) in a butter sauce. Everything needed salt. It was so bland. Luckily we also ordered French fries which were delicious and would def order again. Overall I do still plan on coming back to try the chicken schnitzel and steak frites. I'm just a bit bummed the rotisserie chicken fell flat in my opinion.

The beautiful thing about life is you can learn something everyday. I, for example, never would have thought orange wine and rotisserie chicken would pair so well together until I came to Badaboom. I made the push to Bed Stuy to meet Ryan from the Supervinobros on Instagram, as we bonded online over our respective niches of rotisserie chicken and wine. What a crazy sentence to type. We clicked right away, and began chopping it up about what a crazy place the internet is. As we were having a bro-down and becoming real life friends as opposed to just internet friends, my heart sank as I scanned the menu and saw the prices. A half roasted chicken with potatoes was $32, and a whole one was $58. $58 for a whole bird!?!?!?!! That's the most expensive one I've ever seen. I immediately turned to him and whispered, "Bro I hate to be this guy and I know this is your spot, but $58 for a chicken is CRAZY. I don't have to make a video because if I do I have to mention the price..." He said "Nah do it, at the end of the day they price it like this, so they have to be comfortable with people knowing." Respect. Once my heart stopped racing, we took a look at the rest of the menu and the wine list. The wine list was his realm, and he began selling me on this orange wine that would pair well with the chicken. In the most confident tone he began describing the wine: "It's from this north eastern Italian region that borders Slovenia that is one of the cradles of the natural wine movement and they ferment the grapes this certain way because" yadda yadda yadda. I tried to keep up, but it was a different language to me. It was like Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining astrophysics to a 5th grader. After he finished his dissertation, I said "Yup that sounds great!" We settled on a whole chicken w/ potatoes ($58), roasted carrots ($14), and Asparagus ($16). Once I got past the sticker shock, this chicken was pretty damn good. Oddly enough, in my quest to find the best chicken in New York City I haven't hit many French restaurants, which is ironic because France is the birthplace of the Tissi. This chicken was absolutely delectable. It was a light, herb-based seasoning with a subtle buttery flavor. It was cooked perfectly, with even the breast being extremely tender. I've found a tender breast harder to find than one of the Legendary Pokemon. The wine paired so well with it too. I can't say it was worth $58, but there is no bird on the planet I'd pay that for. The potatoes were also phenomenal, as they sit under the chicken in the rotisserie oven and collect all the juices falling off. All in all, I'm thankful for this experience. We need to add this duo to the greats: Shrek and Donkey, Kobe and Shaq, Danson and Highsmith, and orange wine and rotisserie chicken. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

I was excited to try this place and had heard good things but was left disappointed due to a few things. One of those things was the service, our waitress was a bit cold and did not check on us throughout our visit. On to the food, the roasted chicken was tasty but incredibly hard to cut and honestly not that much meat. We struggled using butter knives to carve slices from the chicken. In addition, the potatoes that came with our chicken were HORRIBLE, something was deeply wrong like they were possibly reheated or had gone bad. Thankfully we also ordered the potato gratin which was tasty although small and the green beans. Overall I likely would probably not return, as the chicken did not really wow us, which for a specialty restaurant I think it should've been more memorable.

The food was exceptional - in menu choice, ingredient quality, portion quantity, appearance and visual appeal and value. Seating was beautifully arranged and made it possible for all of us to chat comfortably and mix easily. The drinks menu was ideal for a mid-day event with the mimosas and sangria getting rave reviews for taste - not to mention the endless refills. The owner could not have been more helpful during the planning stage and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming as well as being amazingly attentive without being obtrusive. We (and all our guests I'm sure) would recommend Levant without reservation and with sincere thanks to all the servers and kitchen staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience.

But if you don't drink, my partner had a fruity peach and mango puree mocktail that hit the spot in the summer weather. The tuna tartare is fresh with a garnish that complements the freshness well without being too overpowering. The main dishes: duck confit and steak frites were incredibly moist and flavorful. My partner and I were impressed with the flavor in the duck confit's mushrooms! Very savory. Fries are exactly how you want fries to be. The desserts felt a little lackluster in taste--the chocolate souffle and the San Sebastian cheesecake--but I will give props to the dollops of flavor with the cheesecake and that they are made in house. Had a great meal here! It was calm and not uptight, a great date spot when you don't want to stress out but enjoy a great meal.

Another Outstanding Dinner at le Mistral in Park Slope!…read more Another fantastic dinner at Le Mistral! I truly enjoyed every single bite, and my friends felt exactly the same way. The food was magnificent, the wine was excellent, and the service was outstanding. The ambiance was wonderful, making it the perfect setting for a memorable evening. A special thank-you to Alan, who did a fantastic job taking care of us, and to Irina for her great assistance. Both the kitchen and the front-of-house team deserve recognition for delivering such a wonderful dining experience. Thank you to the entire team for a great evening. I always enjoy coming back, and I look forward to seeing you all again very soon! Respectfully, Mostafa.

Last night we came here, and although the service was friendly and welcoming, the food was definitely uninspired. We had a frisee salad which was sad, wilted and overdressed in red wine vinegar and bacon grease. It should've been bright and vibrant. Also troubling was that the poached egg was over hard - a quintessential aspect of the dish is the runny yolk, but instead it was just like an overcooked fried egg. Did the chef not notice this? Or did he/she not care? I had the duck which was not rendered properly. The skin should've been brown and crusty throughout but was instead inconsistent with that pale yellow hue of fat. Also, the meat was not properly sliced with pieces sticking together. The vegetables on the side were an afterthought, underdone and boring. Why not serve a solid mashed potato or cauliflower? A ratatouille? The food was not cheap and it was disappointing to eat a dinner clearly not made with love or passion.

We started with the mussels an got it with delicious baguette slices smothered in apple butter (you can also get fries instead of bread service, but I recommend the bread because you will want steak frites). The mussels were served in a Normandy style cream sauce, which I've never seen in NYC before, so I was very excited as I loved this dish when visiting Northern France. The bavette steak was cooked perfectly at medium rare, the fries were addictive, and the lumachi pasta hit. Profiteroles by the piece were the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. The service here is truly exceptional, all of the staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating to our party of three people with disabilities. Our waitress, an older woman, was so sweet and the quintessential mom making sure we didn't leave any food on our plates, lol. I also really loved the large backyard garden seating, with strong heat lamps to keep you toasty. This would be an easy 5 star review if the bathroom was actually wheelchair accessible, but unfortunately it falls short of ADA requirements. The toilet is super low to the ground, and I would have been able to manage if there were grab bars, but there were not so it was unusable for me though the space would have been big enough for my chair to just fit. ADA guidelines are not optional and not a secret, so I don't understand why it's so hard to just follow the directions published on the official ADA.gov site. Happy to upgrade my review when the accessibility of the bathroom is up to par, as otherwise, the restaurant is accessible and welcoming.
