    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 ‍

    This is everything vegan food should be - creative and satisfying…read more Bold flavors, a thoughtfully curated menu, and ingredients that are allowed to shine. The bowl was packed with flavor and made with some of the best, freshest ingredients. And the mac & cheese? Creamy, delicious, and completely vegan. It lacked absolutely nothing except, you know, the animal products.

    Aunts et Uncles: Vegan food that doesn't need a disclaimer…read more Baby, that loaded baked potato?! One of the best things I've eaten at a vegan restaurant. Period. A strong 9.5/10, and I don't hand those out casually. The peanut butter cauliflower was a close second--absolutely delicious, just a little pricey for the portion. The lasagna was a solid 8/10. Flavorful and hefty despite its lighter ingredients. Unless you're skipping appetizers, prepare for leftovers. Fair warning: it's saucy and doesn't travel particularly well. I also noticed an aftertaste I couldn't quite identify, but nothing that ruined the dish. The mac and cheese? A 6/10 for me. The flavor fell flat, though my dinner companions thought it was decent for vegan food. They also loved their burger and the gorgeous steak-style sandwich with chimichurri and avocado. The sandwich looked delicious, but the portion didn't quite justify the price for me. Now, the sorrel cocktail? A 9/10. Easily. What would make it a 10? A bit more alcohol. I couldn't really taste any. It gave mocktail. My girls did enjoy their wine, though! Service was very warm and friendly, although the packed crowd meant extended waits once we placed our orders. The space is beautiful, cozy, and elevated, but cramped in many areas. Between counter ordering and table service, expect people moving around you. Some patrons could use a gentle reminder that their behinds are not a complimentary side dish. The aesthetics are beautiful, the bathroom was cute and clean, and there's a small outdoor patio out front. They even had a DJ bringing block-party energy during our visit! I could easily see myself returning for breakfast, brunch, or a little café workday. What I love most, though, is the community-centered spirit and how the owners' partnership and love story are woven into the space. My final word: I judge vegan food by the same standards as everything else. No participation trophies just because it's plant-based. My ultimate test? Would I order it again, and would I return to the restaurant? Aunts et Uncles didn't need a vegan consolation prize or watered-down standards. Some dishes could use tweaking, and the portions don't always match the prices, but the standouts absolutely hold their own against non-vegan food. I'm already plotting my return. That loaded potato and I have unfinished business.

    The place has character for sure! Seating inside or out. I arrived early - around 8 - so it was…read morebusy but mostly to-go orders. I'm sure with a later time, it would be busier. I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok. The whole thing had a lemony flavor that normally I don't like, but it went well with the other flavors. The egg was over medium, which they didn't ask me how I wanted, but I'm sure they'd change it if you asked. They were very responsive, polite, and quick.

    Cafe Madeline is a fun brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere but it defs can get super busy. If you…read morecan, come early to beat the brunch rush. The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
