    Probably the best restaurant in Bay Ridge and the only legit cocktail Bar. That's not even even a Bar. Server Recau is great!

    Amazing service! My waitress asked the chefs to split our portions into 2 instead of having us cut and resize the portions ourselves - super helpful. Calamari was amazing and the complementary bread was good. The focaccia came with a vodka-like sauce. My burger wasn't bad- it satisfied my cravings and it was paired with fries. I got the squid ink tortellini and the dough was a bit hard unfortunately

    Took my mom here today for an early birthday dinner and we could not have had a better meal and experience. We kept it simple and decided to order what Cebu is known for which are the Cebu burgers. They use Pat Lafrieda meat so you know it's gonna be great. Then they adorn it with pickles, onions, lettuce, and aïoli sauce sandwiched in between the most perfectly soft pillowy bun. We opted for sweet potato fries instead of regular and they were also delicious. We topped off the meal with tiramisu, and it was outstanding. Kudos to the staff, especially Daniela, who remembered I mentioned it was my mother's birthday and brought out the tiramisu with a sparkler and sang happy birthday to my mom with the staff. She's so very much appreciated it and you made her day. Also, a little boy from the next table came over to wish my mother a happy birthday. He was so adorable and sweet and he made my mom so happy. Thank you Daniela, staff and the sweet little boy from the table next to us!

    Crab Cake Benedict

    Great service from Recai, and the crab cake benedict was delicious. I was eye spying the other tables meals and the sushi rolls looked great, will definitely be back.

    It gets the job done. This restaurant is in the heart of Bay Ridge, and it is hard to miss. It is usually packed, especially at night or on the weekend. The menu is extensive, and the outdoor seating is visually inviting as much as the inside. That was what hooked me into stepping in. I ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees, which took forever to come out. It was not a particularly busy time for the restaurant,t as I was probably the 3rd customer seated. The food did come out smelling wonderful and presentable. The appetizers, consisting of the calamari and wings, were a smash. It was amazingly fried and fresh-tasting. No complaints. The entrees were definitely disappointing. The breakfast dish consisting of eggs, sliced avocado, and bacon tasted as it should. Nothing outstanding and nothing bad. The pizza, however, was absolutely dreadful. It was very small, top-loaded with greasy cheese to the point that when you pick up the poorly cut slice, everything will fall off. It honestly tasted like the children's Lunchable pizza box set. The Cebu burger was uninspiring. It was a plain-tasting burger. A burger your uncle can make at a backyard BBQ. For $25.00, I am running to Shake Shack and getting myself 3 burgers. Overall, it was okay. The food gets the job done, and I would suggest coming here for a social event rather than impressing a foodie.

    Food great, we sat outside weather amazing. Server Recai, very nice and attentive. One thing is wasn't happy with was we're out take was. It was over the door to the basement. I didnt realized until after we were sat for a while.

    Stopped in on a Saturday around 1:45pm. Seated right away in the back room. Our server was Tommy who was welcoming and friendly. We ordered the steak sandwich and fish tacos. Both were very good. We weren't in the mood for brunch--but the brunch menu looked so good. Fries were probably my favorite. Delish. I'll be back to try the brunch menu for sure.

    the Pan Roasted Halibut without risotto and sub carotts
    Stephanie M.

    I love this place so much. The vibe is amazing and the food was great! I ordered the halibut and have currently strict dietary restrictions so Recai was very kind to modify the order for me and when it came out unmodified he immediately noticed and took it back for the kitchen to fix, he was so fast and friendly i really appreciated it!

    I stumbled upon Cebu in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and it was a total delight! We ordered the brussel sprout salad (which initially got swapped with a kale salad), cheeseburger with sweet potato fries (which came with regular fries), and two diet cokes. BUT - our amazing waitress, Daniella, was on it! She quickly fixed the mistake, let us keep the kale salad and regular fries (which were actually pretty tasty!), and even treated us to an incredible carrot cake. Speaking of which - that carrot cake though! One of the best I've had, and I'd love to know where it's from. If anyone knows, let me know! Daniella's top-notch service made up for the kitchen's oops, and we'd totally go back for her (and that carrot cake). Cebu - will be back for sure!

    Very good service and delicious food. The rigatoni was flavorful and the burger was juicy and delicious. The fries were nostalgic in flavor and crispy.

    Broccoli - again, the picture doesn't do it justice. The flavors are ‍

We ordered the chicken liver mousse, crispy potato tart, and burger. The chicken liver mousse is a must order and something I get every time I come here, whether it is this location or the Park Slope one. The mousse itself is rich, creamy, savory, and packed with umami. I just wish it came with something better on the side. The pita was a little underwhelming and was not warmed all the way through. The crispy potato tart was excellent. The potato was super crispy, and a bite with the salmon, egg, sour cream, and potato together was perfect. The lightly dressed arugula helped cut through the richness and made for a nice palate cleanser. The burger looked pretty simple when it arrived, but it ended up being surprisingly good. The patty was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Overall, a great neighborhood spot and one I would happily come back to.

Red, Gray, Black, Shiny Chrome, booths & counter stools. Pictures of days gone by hanging on the walls. Where's the Servers on Roller Skates?!

The menu is chock full of items to choose from! They even have an Impossible Burger for those not eating meat. Tho, it would be nice if they had a bigger choice of vegan items so my daughters could join me more often. Ive had breakfast, lunch & dinner at this spot, and as I said, I don't understand why the place isn't packed! I've done my stint of checking out the diners in Bay Ridge, and this one gets my 5 ! There's Real, Fresh mushrooms on your Swiss cheese burger! Their grilled chicken sandwich has fresh lettuce & tomatoes, and the chicken is grilled so nice to a golden brown. Their soups can be purchased to go, and go they did! Someone's grandma has got to be in the back cooking that chicken noodle soup!! Chock full of chicken & veggies, w/a broth that's out of this world! Their Omelettes and home fries and corned beef hash w/perfectly toasted rye bread, really starts your day or afternoon off right! All food arrives promptly after ordering. Did I mention how Delicious their Unsweetened Ice Tea is?!! Another perfectly fresh tasting item!! Someday I might make it thru the whole menu, but I'll be really old, and large! The diner is located right near the 86th Street Parking Garage (btwn 85/6) and 5th Ave. Go!

From the beginning, we focused on simple American breakfast and lunch made with care. Over the years, Pegasus has grown with the community, becoming a steady place for everyday meals and familiar faces." Pegasus is a longstanding landmark in Bay Ridge. I wouldn't call it a diner per se because it is cozy with a few booths and a counter. I would call it a classy coffee shop. The menu has something for everyone: burgers, eggs, pancakes, salads and all the comfort food from home made for you. I had some errands to take care of on 86th street so I decided to stop in; I haven't dined here in a while. Pegasus is not just for Brooklynites, many patrons come from Staten Island and other far away places. As I stood on line I heard " I made a reservation is my table ready?" "45 minutes wait?" and I said "I'll take any seat even the counter" as I was told 30 minutes for a seat. Then, 10 minutes later, three seats opened up at the counter. I found my seat and reviewed the menu; I was in the mood for a turkey burger but they do not offer it anymore. So, I ordered an Impossible Burger deluxe and a cup of coffee. The coffee was served piping hot and it was delicious! Then, my burger came out.TBH I didn't know what to expect. I spread some mayo and ketchup on it and took one bite... delicious! It really tastes like the real thing. The fries were plentiful and also scrumptious. The service was on point: iced water served, coffee cup refilled and love the fact there are extra napkins in the bar to take which I needed. The burger was a little messy but worth it! It is not hard to understand why Pegasus has endured; simple food cooked like a home meal, cozy environment and great service. Pegasus Brooklyn 8610 3rd Avenue 8:15-4:30pm
