We were greeted by a lovely, warm, and fun bar tender who was also doing wait service. She was totally attentive (not invasive) and every time she walked away we said "we love her". So that was nice. As well, the (I'm assuming) owner was coming around checking on people to make sure that they were happy. I appreciate that. The place is charming. Small and warm without being cramped. The most wonderful thing was that, though there was music playing, we could actually here each other as we spoke in normal voices!! I really hate restaurants that play music too loud - which seems to be the thing now. If I wanted thumpa, thumba, oonce, oonce, I'd go to a club. The food was really great. One of our party had the veggie lasagna, which she was really happy with. Two of us had the bouillabaisse and they loved it. I had the boeuf bourguinon and it was so yummy and rich! It was so rich I couldn't finish it... though that might have been because of the parsley garlic fries and beet salad that we split before our main meals. I will not say it's cheap... it's not. $16 for a glass of wine, but I will go again. read more

My partner and I decided to try Big Tiny for a date night and we're not disappointed! We came around 6:30pm on a Sunday (over a long weekend) and we're happy to have been seated right away. Food-wise we ended up ordering the burrata (delicious!), escargot, steak Tartare w/ fries, and the ravioli in cream sauce... All were delicious and the ravioli really surprised us! Loved how flavorful and tiny each were. We halso got some drinks too. Overall a fantastic meal! read more

Such a beautiful and charming place. We walked in early on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately without any wait. The ambience was perfect (we sat in a sunny corner with a bay window) and there was so much bright light and great details at the restaurant. The prices were reasonable, and the dishes were very filling without being too heavy. I really enjoyed my savory crepe and my partner got their brunch special, which was a chorizo benedict. We also shared a ratatouille which was so refreshing and light! Service was very friendly, and we were not in a huge rush to leave as it never got too crowded in the morning. Would love to come back for dinner sometime! read more

Good food. Service generally attentive. Prices a bit high for drinks. Nice vibe. Sometimes they close for private parties without listing it on their website, so you might need to call ahead. Especially if you plan to meet friends here. read more

Such a cute little spot! Great menu great service great food! My son's favorite so we had to try it! Did not disappoint! Mussels, octopus, crab cakes and burrata as apps were perfect! Steak, burger and beef as main dishes were delicious. Ended a great dinner with an amazing lemon dessert and creme brulee. Cannot wait to go back . read more

This place was recommended by my nephew and so we decided to try it when visiting the area. Overall, Big Tiny did not disappoint! Here is what we liked: - Great selection of French wines...which we were particularly interested in since we recently visited the France wine regions. - Menu that lends itself to tapas/sharing...there were three of us and we shared with the Pesto Burrata and Octopus appetizers, followed by the 4 Cheese Pizza and 3 Cheese Cauliflower, then the Duck Salad and Cassoulet. All were excellent and very sharable! - We finished up with the Chocolate Marquise, which hit the spot! - Service was excellent...we were never rushed along for made to feel bad even though we were there socializing for a long time. - Vibe was casual, comfy and warm...especially good given the rain pouring outdoors. Bottom line: I can see by Big Tiny is my nephew's fave...we would go back again for sure! read more

Great place for a leisurely weekend brunch. I picked this place based on their solid reviews and reasonable pricing. I hate when an egg dish costs over $20 (which seems to be pretty standard nowadays). Well, I ended up not having an egg dish after all, but was very pleased with my selection (a veggie and cheese crepe) topped with some smoked salmon from Shelsky's). I sat outside but the inside space is very charming. Definitely one to add into the rotation. read more

Really enjoyed this spot. Had a little solo weeknight dinner with a glass of wine and my book, and felt right at home. Had the house red (discounted on Thursdays!) and the famous raviolis and neither disappointed. That and a little well dressed green salad, and I was in heaven. Highly recommend! read more

Big Tiny - Green salad - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Dinner plans that fell through at another restaurant, brought us to this gem. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. From the escargot, muscles, the lamb and beef dish over beans. We had to get extra bread for the garlic butter and olive oil sauce. They also give you toasted bread for the muscle sauce which was flavorful. They also have great happy hour deals. The staff was very attentive and the space was small but cozy. Completely stuffed by the end, but very well worth it. read more

This place is so great on so many levels. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff make it feel like being in someone's lounge but also kinda out and about. The food menu is great and very diverse with upgrades to some classics. There are days I crave the La Niçoise just out of the blue... ha! The wine list is always interesting, and I have never feel intimidated asking about certain wines or asking for a sample. I think that's a testament to the bar staff as well as the wine list. Sadly, I have never tried a dessert, but they all look incredible. read more

We made an impromptu stop here while strolling in the neighborhood. There was plenty of seating outdoors along the sidewalk, which was nice since we had our pup with us. Once seated, menu were brought out to us right away. We were just looking for a drink, so I got the Orange Moscato ($16) for a glass while he got the Lager ($8). The drinks were decent, nothing too special. I actually found it to be quite pricey for a single glass. We also decided to get the Three Cheese Board ($18) to accompany our drinks. When it arrived, they didn't give much explanation for the types of cheeses, but it was played beautifully. The cheeses were OK, but we did not like the bleu cheese one (definitely a big hit or miss for most people). Nothing really impressed me and I found everything quite pricey. Maybe the actual food would be better, but doesn't come too appealing to me. It's a cute spot and service was friendly, but a pass for me. read more

Went for dinner with my wife last sunday, place was pretty empty(good for us!) snagged a nice window table. The food was amazing, had the pizza unlike any pizza I ever had but so good, scallops with oyster mushrooms and a quinoa rissotto. and seared crabcakes. Everything was amazing and perfectly sized small plates. The wine program was wonderful and the service was friendly and helpful. Now it's pricey but not unfairly priced you can taste the quality. I can't wait to try out their brunch but unfortunately I live in NJ cause I'm too poor to live in Brooklyn...never thought I write that 30 years ago. read more

Came here for dinner with fds. We ordered a lot We ordered Croquettes, Octopus, chef selection board, and ducks. They were super tasty. Loved them. The duck was juicy and with great amt of fat in there. The duck made the day! The ambiance was chic and enjoyable. A bit dim tho. It would have been better to turn up a bit the light The service was great Definitely coming back again to this place in the future read more

I had lived close by here for years and always saw it buzzing, but never had a chance to drop by. It wasn't until I met a French expat at a wedding who said this was her favorite bistro to eat/hangout that I finally made it a point to check it out. Super cute neighborhood spot. There was someone who I presumed was the owner or manager hanging out at the bar. Great wine list, and super friendly waitstaff who are helpful in giving recommendations and attentive the whole night. The escargot was delicious as were the mussels - although I wish there was more of a bread or carb to sop all that rich, buttery goodness. This place seems wildly popular with locals. They do take reservations, which might not be a bad idea if you plan on coming during prime time. Would gladly come back in the future if looking for a nice, intimate dinner in an unpretentious setting. read more

I went back to this French bistro with a group for dinner having already been here for brunch once. They have since expanded (along with the joke "bigger" tiny as said by other Yelpers) going from a small hole in the wall which consisted of a bar counter and a few seats to a pretty sizable restaurant. Their menu has expanded slightly but they kept what was there before. I got a cider to drink which was Aval as expected as I wasn't in the mood for wine even though this is a wine bar. Other people got wine and the pours as per before are generous. The service was very friendly making sure for one of the diners that their food was gluten free. My appetizer was the Filet Mignon Carpaccio with Meyer lemon, olive oil, shallots, Beaufort ribbon, pickled onions, capers, Comté cheese, and topped with arugula and it was $14. The dish was well plated and had a good portion. I tried the Pesto Burrata which was $19 and it was also delicious. Another person had the French Onion Soup ($13) which they liked a lot. The only appetizer at fault was the Seared Crab Cakes which was $18. There happened to only be one crab cake and it was pretty small so it was not worth it at all as well as the name not being accurate. I'm not sure if it was an issue or if it's misspelled now but I wouldn't recommend it. For my main dish, I went with the Boeuf Bourguignon with mixed mushrooms, baby carrots, and a butternut squash purée for $24. This was outstanding with very tender beef. There was also a piece of a large sauteed onion (I believe pearl or white) which was sweet while the mushrooms were nice and earthy. The butternut squash purée was a unique twist which I prefer over the normal boiled potatoes (though I probably would have preferred it with pasta as it is occasionally served.) Another person had the Big Tiny Cassoulet which I tried a little bit of which was delicious. The Jolie burger looked outstanding and I am probably going get that next time. Someone had the La Bouillabaisse which they liked and the last two people enjoyed their mains as well; the daily fish special (which I think was skate but I'm not sure) and the vegetarian lasagna. For dessert which isn't online unlike everything else, I got the tarte tatin. I believe it was around maybe $10-$12. This was served very differently from other spots consisting of a small layer of pastry topped with a generous amount of mashed caramelized apples and some vanilla ice cream. There was also a caramel like sauce on the side which also had a strong apple flavor. While not traditional, it was still very tasty. Another person had the lemon tart which they enjoyed (tried a bit and it was nice,) someone had the crème brûlée, and someone had the chocolate dessert which was tiny but rich. Outside of a couple portion sizes being perhaps a bit small for the price (nothing on my end but definitely a few of the other dishes such as the crab cake and chocolate dessert,) the food here is well worth it. Very well developed French flavors with very nice service and a cozy atmosphere. Will go back and enjoy again (likely the outstanding looking burger next time.) read more

Excellent spot to grab dinner and catch up with friends! We shared the Big Tiny Cassoulet, the steak tartare, and fries, paired with some rose (a summer classic). The steak tartare was a generous portion for the price, and fries came with 3 dipping sauces. The cassoulet had short rib in it which was cooked to perfection. All were delicious, and we left feeling very satisfied! read more

We randomly chose Big Tiny as our dinner spot post walk, and are so glad we did. Phenomenal food and lovely ambiance, felt like we were in France at a local neighborhood spot. Nice variety of wine to choose from and the servers were all very helpful. Escargot was buttery and tender. Will be back again when we're in the area. read more

Fantastic neighborhood spot. The ambiance is the perfect cozy, intimate, and friendly French restaurant. Every dish my husband and I got were delicious. Pretty reasonable prices as well for the quality of food and flavor! We got the steak tartare to start, the cassoulet, and beef bourginon. The steak tartare was a refreshing starter. The cassoulet was a great cozy dish in a cold night. Great flavor that wasn't too heavy. The beef bourginon was also fantastic. The beef was tender and moist and came with a great, rich sauce. Wine options were great and paired well with dinner. Also loved that the water cups were made from old wine bottles. Very friendly owners and servers! read more

Service was great , food was cooked well but not flavorful lacked salt and spices , owner was welcoming and nice my only other downside is water doesn't taste like normal tap water so had to get cans of soda which are 4$ each ....... Vibes weren't bad but it was Sunday overall portions were kinda small but understandable maybe came on an off day not sure . read more

Best neighborhood wine bar & brunch spot! The food is delicious, staff friendly, and there's never too long of a wait. Would recommend to anyone visiting the neighborhood. TLDR: get the tuna tartare & curry mussels, great for dates & more intimate dinners Food: delicious & unpretentious! I always get the tuna tartare and, if it's cold, the French onion soup. The curry mussels were recommended by the owner and they're also delicious! Service: staff here are so friendly & will remember you if you visit twice. Insider tips: They don't take reservations online but you can always call ahead! Also just opened for brunch service. Good for: first dates, dinner with friends, parents read more

Big Tiny has become one of my neighborhood staples. We've tried many things on the menu and I don't think we've ever had something we didn't like. My personal favorite are the mussels provençal, which come with fries and bread. You'll want to drink the broth once you finish the musssels and use the bread to help soak up the last drops. Wines by the glass rotate daily and are written on the blackboards on the wall. I've had some amazing whites, if only I could remember what they were! My favorite time to go is like a Tue or Wed night when it's not too crowded and you can have a leisurely dinner. It can get pretty busy Thu-Sat nights and you might be touching elbows with your neighbor given how close together the tables are, which is a vibe in and of itself. They've taken reservations in the past, but it seems like they aren't doing them anymore. Service is friendly and generally pretty speedy. read more

Looking for lunch and found this tiny cozy spot. It was sunday and they served brunch. Had a nice oyster special! Turned out to be really nice. The prices were reasonable, but the dishes were small as well. Service was good. The only "down side" to the place would be the tables are small so it doesn't have room for all the plates, cups and utensils. Would come back. read more

They took reservations for the weekend which is a big plus for me, since it can be a quite long line at peak hours. The inside is small and a bit tight, but the decorations are very artistic. 6 of us ordered 3 appetizers, 1 cheese and charcuterie board, wines and main course each. Our appetizers are ham and cheese croquettes, grilled octopus and onion soup. The portion of the Croquettes is much smaller than I expected, but very tasty. I love the raclette cheese. However, the cheese and charcuterie board is a little disappointed. I ordered scallop with risotto. The scallop was tender and crispy on the outside. Quinoa risottos are really flavorful. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

Very cute and quaint little restaurant/bar, serving French inspired food and wine. It seems like their wines are on rotation, and they only have 4-5 red and white each to choose from which are written on the wall. No cocktails, just wine and beer. It feels very local/neighborhood spot and there is very limited seating inside. only a few tables and seats at the bar, but they did extend outdoors. We were lucky enough to snag the last 2 spots at the bar for a late dinner and some drinks. Since it's such a small restaurant, be prepared to enjoy your night leisurely, as in don't rush. And don't come if you're in a rush. There were only 3 staff total working, 1 is in the small kitchen in the back preparing food for everyone. As for food, we got a couple small dishes to share and a main. Definitely enough for the two of us - French onion soup: one of my faves of the night! a little salty, but that's how it always is. Melt in your mouth onions, with crusty bread and cheese melted on top. The bread gets nice and soggy as you eat your soup, and the combo is melty cheesy salty goodness - Mushroom tartine: wasn't a huge fan of this, but good to try. It is basically a toasted bread with a combination of 3 different types of mushrooms chopped into very fine pieces on top. I was expecting a little bit more mushroom flavor, but was a bit lacking - Escargot: served with toasted bread, delicious to dip in the BUTTTER. A classic! - Meatballs: my other favorite of the night!! 3 large meatballs in this divine thick gravy with shitake mushrooms. This was so delicious. The meatballs were not dry at all, and made with good quality meat! They had a little char on the outside and the sauce added such rich flavors. I would definitely order again and recommend this. Overall, a very nice date night spot! They also have a brunch menu, but I liked the dimly lit vibe at night. read more

The only thing I wanna say is that, Big Tiny is really a fantastic place for inspiring French food and wines. Though it was my first time there, I found that they are operating this 'tiny' restaurant with 'big' sincerity. Everything including decorations and movie posts are well arranged. I will absolutely recommend this place to my friends, hope more alien people like me will know your stories though those well cooked food and feel this kindness and warmness. read more

Tried this place for the hub's bday last night as we wanted something low-key, it's within walking distance of our place and we'd heard it was good. Ambiance is nice; our waitress is lovely, provided excellent customer service; it's not noisy, but we're at 6:30pm on a Weds, so it's not full. By the time we left, around 8, it had filled up quite a bit and was on the noisy side, but it's a lively French bistro, so to be expected. They divided the space in a cool way with an unusual bar...a nice element, to be sure. In terms of speed of service (delivery of the food, that is), this place is quite slow. We ordered our appetizers first as we were hungry and needed more time to decide on entrees and drinks. Despite that fact that there were only 3 parties in the dining area at the time (and maybe a couple people seated at the bar), it took a while -- much longer than expected -- for our apps to arrive. The wait between the apps and the entree was a bit shorter, but once you have something in your stomach, it's far easier to be patient. On to the food itself. The hub got his go-to french app, french onion soup, which he said was as good as any of his favorite ones. For dinner, he was tempted by steak frites, but went with something we'd be less likely to have at home, beef bourguignon. It was a chilly night, so a hearty dish suited the weather and he enjoyed it. The soup was definitely the highlight for him, though, and I know he'll want to go back for that alone. I got the mussels entree as my app. They come with one of two sauces; I chose the curry, as the server suggested it when I asked which she preferred. The mussels themselves were great, not shriveled tiny ones like you get at some places. The curry sauce was pretty good, but I have to admit, my mind kept drifting to my fave version which is at Littleneck. The bread that accompanied it for dipping was good, but seemed more like toasted bread than grilled and I prefer the latter preparation. Either way, when we go again, I'll Iikely repeat this app choice as it's solid. I was torn about my entree, but went with the fish of the day, as I wanted something on the lighter side. For some reason, my mind is blanking on what type of fish it was -- firm, mild, white -- branzino, I think. It's served with a few carrots and parsnip purée beneath it. The latter was yummy and the bites of fish with the purée were good. The fish alone was cooked nicely, but needed some sort of seasoning -- maybe even just a lemon -- as it was on the bland side. For drinks, I got a couple glasses of wine and the hub got a couple beers. We would have stopped at one each, but the slow timing lent itself to ordering another. The bottles of wine were pricey (for us, at least), starting at $55. Since they have a beautiful bar area, we had assumed they have cocktails, but they do not. So overall, a big thumbs-up for Big Tiny. I think we will try the steak frites entree next time as we saw plenty of french fries coming through the pass and they looked really good! And now that we know they move slowly there, we won't expect otherwise. read more

Big Tiny - Beef Bourguignon - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

cute little polished french restaurant on smith street. great service. great food. def recommend.

My husband & I had dinner there last night & look forward to going back to try more of the menu. We sat inside this small, cozy restaurant & thoroughly enjoyed every part of the meal. Chi, our waitress, was efficient, attentive & incredibly pleasant. We enjoyed three appetizers because they all seem so good that narrowing it down to two was impossible. We had a great experience here. The awning above the restaurant reads: Bistro Francais. You won't find that restaurant in Brooklyn, lol. The words "Big Tiny" are there as well, but it can make this place hard to find. Appetizers: Filet Mignon Carpacio: among the best I've ever had. The combination of Beaufort, capers & pickled onions perfectly complimented the beautiful beef slices. One perfect bite after another. Grilled Octopus: I stopped ordering octopus because it's usually just god awful texturally. My husband nailed it as his choice because it was Exactly what octopus should be. Ever so Slight resistance to the tooth initially and then just a smooth easy bite. Nothing chewy. Nothing mushy. This place knows Octopus. Classic French Onion Soup: I'm a sucker for this & thoroughly enjoyed theirs. Great flavors, just the right amount of cheese & crouton. I had the Curry Mussels at my husbands suggestion because the Main Course section of the menu had few choices that appealed to me. The mussels were very good, great crusty bread & a reasonable amount broth. Husband had the Cassoulet that was so ridiculously good that I kept reaching over with a mussel shell to get a bite. Initially it looks like a tiny dish but it's so luscious with the duck confit, short rib, merguez & a divine creamy cannellini. Happy mouth. Very. read more

I was just at Big Tiny and since I have celiacs disease I was asking the owner (I'm assuming) if the salads were gluten free- since I have severe reactions if I eat gluten as it's an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. As I'm leaving and waiting for my Uber, and I hear "Is the AC gluten free?" And I look back and it's the owner and some guy sitting at a table. If you're going to make fun of a paying customer at least have the common courtesy to talk sh*t once I'm out of ear shot!! You also probably should refrain from taking the piss out of peoples diseases, but that's just my gluten free opinion. read more

Just want to say- BigTiny is BiggerTiny; and with that, you get a bigger kitchen and some of the best French bistro fare around (definitely the best restaurant on Smith Street. Fight me.) The new interior is an extension of the old one but with a beautiful glass bar as a divider and some swish and massive heavy, pressed glass lighting- still dimly lit, the way I like it. The first evening we had the chef's selection cheese and charcuterie: always good, the ham and cheese croquettes (beyond) and my most favorite salad niçoise salad with pickled veggies and gorgeous ahi tuna. Only made better by the most perfect order of fries, ever. Husband had the steak frites (enough said). Ah...now if you were just around the corner (as you were) instead of simply a few blocks away. read more

I went here on a date with my sugar daddy. The wine selections were amazing. If you're looking for a light thin crust pizza that's smoking bomb, this is the place that you want to go. We sat outside in the heated patio but it was perfect out so the heat was not on. I had an order Of the crabcakes which were out of this world hands-down best crabcake I've had in the city! Romain and arugula salad was standard could use better dressing. I would suggest a lemon vinaigrette but who am I? Overall great experience, delicious wine, and amazing pizza. read more

Had a great dinner at Big Tiny. Everything we had was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality of the food. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars and not 5 is that our mains were incredibly slow to come out, even though our server kept stopping by to say it would be out shortly. When the food finally appeared, our waiter apologized and said that they were having electrical problems in the kitchen. I just don't understand why he couldn't have either let us know there was an issue when he delivered the appetizers or stopped by to explain what was going on. read more

Big Tiny? There is nothing tiny in taste to this place. It's only been open for 7 months, they make a huge impression in the quality and flavor off their food. The place is kindle of tiny. It seats 16 people comfortably without the bar seats. The place is rustic and romantic at the same time. They play eclectic and upbeat music and puts you in the mood to eat. The place was a video store before and they accomodate a kitchen and enough space for people to come and have a romantic evening with French food. The partners Dominic and Benjamin did a fine job with this place. They also have a Mex French place close by. I have not been there yet, but if this place is a model, I need to go to the other restaurant as well. Started with the chowder which was really delicious followed by the salad and tuna tartare. The tuna had a small kick too it...not too much, just enough to excite the mouth! Also tried the steak tartare which is excellent. It also had a small kick to it..but not too much! Now...the main thing to get is the Cassoulet. The Cassoulet is a wonderful dish. It consists of a slow cooked casserole orginating in the south of France containing meat, pork and white beans. Dominic is an expert In wines and most customers who come in ask him to choose what they will drink. I have a feeling anything you pick from the menu will be good. I need to return to this place soon!! read more

A must if your in the BOCOCA area. One of the best places for unique wine and amazing food within an unpretentious cozy atmosphere.

Big Tiny is a place that I would not have discovered if not for browsing Yelp. Located in a small but comfortable setting on Smith Street, the storefront is nondescript aside from 'Big Tiny' painted in modest lettering by the entranuce. While I do like the idea of this French restaurant being a 'best-kept secret', I also feel for those that miss out on the wonderful experience it offers simply due to not knowing about it. The food, atmosphere, and service have all been top-notch during our two visits to Big Tiny. The French Onion Soup is one of the best that I've ever tasted. I also loved the Farmer's Open Faced Sandwich, which is packed with flavorful ingredients and can be found on the Brunch Menu. The red wine selection is unique, and the very friendly owner has willingly let us sample several of them before deciding which to order. I truly hope that Big Tiny sticks around for a long time, as it brings the feel of a quaint neighborhood establishment to a street with many average restaurants. To the kind owner, get yourself a larger sign! read more

While sipping IPAs at a bar down the street, my boyfriend cautiously threw out Big Tiny as a dinner option. You see, it was his turn to pick our meal out tonight, and more than he was afraid of landing on a disappointing Sunday dinner destination, he knew that I wouldn't miss an opportunity to lovingly but still annoyingly pick on him for the rest of the night. Big Tiny, however, left me happy and satisfied - crisis averted. As we were greeted by the owner, it did not take us long to notice that he was very knowledgeable about wine, happy to give us suggestions, kept checking in regularly with friendly conversation throughout our whole meal, and took it like a champ when I, in my true fashion, accidentally punched him as I was taking off my jacket. Although I sampled a few different wines, the glass of La Mariole Carignon was my favorite of the night. Were there flaws? Sure. The lamb chops were on the smaller side, heavy on the black pepper, and cooked well-done, the type of thing Gordon Ramsay would slap any chef across the face over. However, everything else was tres bien! A French restaurant is only as good to me as their French onion soup, and the French Onion here is just the way I like it. Why do so many restaurants think that the secret to a great French onion soup is half a pound of melted cheese? I realized at the age of twelve that a slowly labored over broth is the heart of this soup, and one done right is tough to come by. The complimentary bread (and more importantly the fun side of tapenade it came with) was a generous, tasty treat as well. Needless to say, I will be back. Cozy atmosphere created by the intimate small setting, antique decorations that reminded me of my childhood, and the friendly service will be more than enough to lure me in on a cold winter night in Brooklyn. read more

Loved this tiny restaurant! My husband and I had a night off from our kids and wanted to find the least kid friendly dinner spot nearby. Big Tiny would probably accept kids but you shouldn't bring them anyway. It's cute and small and very French with amazing fresh cuisine that they wouldn't appreciate anyway. The staff was super friendly and the food had so much flavor. The heirloom tomato salad was out of this world (I know weird thing to say about tomatoes). I can't wait to return. read more
