One of my favorite places in Brooklyn for the food, service & ambiance in the outdoor patio. The angus burger-juicy and satisfying pairing perfectly with the squash curry. Best of all was the coconut cake with tiny freshly grated coconut chunks. read more

Came here for brunch recently with a friend, ordered the burger and the Duck Chilaquiles with a fried egg. Note if you add the egg your total for the order is $31, but the egg was needed as the dish was actually quite salty. As was the burger. Overall nicely cooked but just a lot more salt than needed. The sweet potato fries were appreciated! The coconut cake dessert had mixed reviews, honestly just an issue with the consistency on our part. I would be down to come back and try the drinks! It's a cute place, they are not in a rush to kick you out so you can sit and chat for a while. read more

The decor of this restaurant is super cute, the servers were attentive and friendly. We sat in the outdoor patio (covered) but in the summer there are bugs and mosquitoes. They provide bug spray, it's on the side, and not obvious so ask for it. It's a good date night spot, cozy and good vibes. They have a HH that runs from 5-7 I believe. What we got: -Shrimp aguachile: lacked flavor, could use more sauce. There was no passion fruit taste, but the shrimp was a good portion. -Pão de queijo: this I did not understand. They sliced it and grilled it. Pao de queijo is simple and doesn't need to be all done up. -Chicory salad: lacked texture, wasn't really sure what I was eating half the time and needed to be dressed a little more. -Salted peewee potatoes: probably my favorite. They're papas arrugadas for those familiar with the canary island potatoes. Good portion, nice sauce. -Picanha: medium rare and they did it well. Flavors were good and steak was easy to bite -Wine roulette: had a chilled red -Vermouth: more soda than vermouth and lacked the distinct vermouth taste read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon with a large group celebrating a birthday and we ordered a variety of items. I think the dishes that really stuck out were: - the sausage and veggie parralata - the steak and huevos divorciados - the fruit salad We also ordered chilaquiles and the queso fundido con rajas. Service was really good and the ambiance was perfect as we booked the greenhouse that had some AC but the backyard area is covered. I think we would like to try out that spot next time. Food was fresh, nothing was undercooked, and we'll definitely return. Ambiance: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

I just went there for brunch and it was underwhelming. In addition to the lack of options, the egg tortilla had absolutely NO SEASONING - no salt, no pepper, mo cilantro on the side, no nada. Oh. They gave a weak flavorless chipotle sauce on the side. I am Caribbean Hispanic and know what flavor means and tastes like. The beans in the tortilla had ZERO seasoning. I was totally confused. Today is Halloween and not April Fool's Day so I don't think they were pranking us. I left hungry. Grabbed a corn muffin and code on the way home, which was way better than what I just paid too much for. Nope. Would never go back. Que pena. They got two stars because the bartender was friendly and the ambiance and aesthetics are pleasant. read more

we've been here a few times, ambiance is nice. food is interestingly prepared and the dishes are prepared well with some spice. we had the picanha, the roasted chile chicken with risotto base and the pao de queijo that had peppers (this was really good) service was a little slow but we didn't mind considering we were there on a sunday evening relaxing. we thought maybe they forgot our drinks at one point. if there is any glaring feedback, we were underwhelmed by the drinks/cocktails. i would stick with wine next time. We ended the meal with desserts - a taste of Brazil (too sweet for me) and the bread pudding which was delicious and really decadent. read more

Very cute restaurant with multiple different seating options. We sat in the covered garden, which is great if you're not right by the door on a somewhat chilly night. Food is very good!

I really wanted to love Colonia Verde because the atmosphere and location are fantastic. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance that's perfect for a night out. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our main dishes took about 35 minutes to arrive, and that's simply too long. I ordered the Shrimp Ajillo, which is a fairly straightforward dish, and it should not take nearly 20 minutes to prepare once the kitchen is working on it. The food was enjoyable, but the long wait and slow service took away from the overall experience. With better timing and more attentive service, this place could easily be a 5-star restaurant. I hope they improve their kitchen pace because the setting is definitely worth another visit. read more

Delicious food and great service in a really cool atmosphere. We were able to get a table on their back patio and really loved the set up. There's a happy hour several days of the week with a wine roulette, a couple of cocktails, and a few bites. The server was attentive and made some great recommendations. We ordered the ribeye, potatoes, salad and bone marrow and everything had so much flavor and tasted excellent. Not the largest restaurant so might be difficult with large parties, and it's popular so best to make a reservation. read more

My girlfriend and I have been on a bit of a Mexican food kick as of late, and in particular she has discovered a love of mezcal, the smokier cousin of tequila. She wanted to drink some mezcal this weekend, so I started Googling things like "best mezcal bar NYC". There were some options in Manhattan, but none of them particularly compelling. Lo and behold, Colonia Verde had a selection of mezcal, including a flight option, and was just a fifteen minute walk away from my apartment in Fort Greene. Reservation made. We wandered over and found a cozy space with a bar on the right, and tables on the left. I didn't see quite how far it went back, but every table was packed and an open kitchen was in my line of sight. A quintessential Brooklyn restaurant. Having come for mezcal, that was the first order of business. In addition to a couple of cocktails (both fantastic), we ordered the mezcal flight offered to get a taste of some more types of mezcal. The pours are an ounce, which was perfectly fine to share between two people (remember, it is a sipping liquor, not a shooting liquor). The variety was quite interesting and my girlfriend was quite happy to try three different types. The menu invites sharing, with the For the Table option having several appealing options. The entire menu can be shared as far as I can tell, and that is what we did. As if by magic, once we had finished our mezcal flight, our first course came out: crispy pork belly and the shrimp aguachile. The crispy pork belly was an immediate standout, I may have even squealed with delight. The pork was crispy, and the salsa verde delightfully fresh and acidic. The shrimp aguachile was a lovely pairing as well, also bright and acidic. One very small piece of criticism: giving three tortillas to two people is just cruel. We managed to split the last tortilla, but an even number of tortillas would have been appreciated for our table of two. The shrimp aguachile was a lovely pairing as well, also bright and acidic. Having overcome the tortilla shortage, however, our next course came out: a Brazilian potato stew special. Similar to pozole, a base soup is provided, along with accouterment (avocado, chicken, capers, a chipotle sauce, and sour cream). I hadn't thought soup could be shareable, but with two spoons we happily dug in. Some time during the soup, our baked eggplant came out. It was reminiscent of eggplant parmesan, but with a delightful mole sauce and feta cheese. After all that, we had to see a dessert menu. From what I can tell, the Gringo Churro Donuts may be one of the most popular desserts, and we followed the crowd. A la mode was an option, and we took it (having had a lot of Whole Foods ice cream in my life, it tasted quite familiar, though I am certainly not mad about that). They thoughtfully include a mezcal pairing with each dessert, and though we did not avail ourselves (we had had plenty of mezcal at this point), if you were looking for a digestif I'd highly recommend the pairing. All in all, this restaurant made me furious: I had been living a half mile away for years and never tried it. I will certainly be back, and my girlfriend and I keep talking about how good it was. Cannot recommend this place enough if you'd like some vaguely Latin American food and mezcal. read more

Secret hidden gem!!! I almost don't want to write this review, but the restaurant deserves it and I won't gatekeep. :) I first discovered this restaurant when looking for a place to have a quick drink before eating dinner at another restaurant nearby. I quickly discovered they have an INCREDIBLE backyard. You feel transported to another place in South America surrounded by a canopy of trees, lights, and clay walls with beautiful decorations. I also loved the atrium, which is sort of an indoor/outdoor section completely enclosed by glass where you also get the outdoor vibe. They kindly squeezed us in before another reservation and we got a couple of drinks - both of which were delicious! Then I realized... I should have my birthday dinner here! I had never tried the food before, but the drinks were great, so I just went for it. Viridiana was a dream to work with. We collaborated on a family style menu at a fixed price per person, which was very helpful for my guests to financially plan for the dinner. And she made a special menu with the name of my event at the top! All of the food was AMAZING. Oh my goodness. We ordered basically the entire menu, so diners should feel safe ordering anything. I would come back for the Brazilian cheese bread. Again, I had never eaten before, so it was a gamble, but we hit the jackpot! Would absolutely recommend this place for group dinners, friends dinners, and romantic dinners. Can't wait to come back and sit in my new favorite backyard in Brooklyn! read more

My new favorite place in Brooklyn, hands down!!! The most amazing dishes, full of flavor, aroma and color. Friendliest staff!! Wonderfully charming atmosphere, especially in the back patio.

The 4 of us split a 40oz steak and it was so worth it. It was perfectly cooked medium rare, simply seasoned and amazing. We really enjoyed the potatoes and string beans on the side. Our server, Diego?, was super friendly and helpful. He made the meal so much more pleasant. Wine selection was good. The decor was fun - we sat inside but I would love to try the backyard next time.

This weekend I ventured to Fort Greene to enjoy the neighborhood vibe and decided on a meal at Colonia Verde. The atmosphere at this quaint little hot spot is transporting. Upon entering the front dining room one is completely unaware of the gorgeous little oasis that lies just beyond in the atrium and subsequent outdoor patio. I was seated in the patio area and it was a beautiful bit of a mirage that felt like a magical little courtyard in a hacienda in Central America. The staff, while friendly, were not as attentive as one would have hoped and the wait to be seated, place orders and receive orders was a bit extensive. That said the drinks and food that finally followed were elevated and worth the wait! I began my meal with a Spicy Margarita with Tajin and lime that was both refreshing and bright on a steamy summer day. I ordered the Esquites as an appetizer. The brilliant mix of charred corn, pepitas, mint, cotija cheese and cumin dressing tasted like the essence of summer with brilliantly balanced and authentic flavors that were both indulgent and satisfying. For my entree, I decided on the Shrimp Tacos and opted out of the avocado, chipotle cream with which they are customarily served. The tortillas are among the absolute best I have had and the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and cooked! Unlike the traditionally heavy serving of refried beans, they offered a thin layer that provided the flavor without the weight. I chose to add a bit of my Esquites to the tacos and it proved to be a deliciously wise choice. The marriage of flavors was divine Last, I couldn't resist the promise of the Little Piece of Brazil dessert. This succulent Yuca Coconut cake topped with whipped cream and lime zest was delicate, complex and unique. The yuca creates a surprisingly light background from which the abundant coconut flavor bursts. The creamy homemade whip and lime zest balance the rich coconut flavor to create an inspiring flavor profile unlike any dessert I've had to date . Colonia Verde offers next level mastery of latin flavors and, if you can be patient with the slightly lackadaisical service, it should definitely make your must try list the next time you are in Fort Greene. read more

My fiancé and I saw so many great reviews here that we wanted to give it a try, so let me preface by saying PERHAPS we just ordered wrong or came on an off night. I'll start with what we loved: the ambience of the space is tremendous. It's low-lit and enchanting, and there's a back patio space with even more seating. The vibes are sexy and trendy. The not-so-great is pretty much everything we ordered :/ we got the shrimp appetizer which was probably the best part of the meal, but still nothing crazzyyyy to write home about which does make me sad to say!! Fiancé got the burger. I got the eggplant dish with feta - it was almost flavorless and felt... disappointing. We went into it very eager and excited to fall in love with everything, but everything jusssst missed the mark. It wasn't horrible by any means, we still had a fun night together and loved the atmosphere of the space. But will I go here again? probablyyyyy not for food, but could be cute for happy hr. read more

Great food, good service, and a nice garden at the back of the restaurant. Try the Happy Hour.

They have the most fantastic ambiance on the patio for brunch. Cocktails were interesting (pictured is the Carajillo spritz, somewhat of an espresso mimosa hybrid), but probably the least impressive part of our meal. For mains the duck confit chilaquiles were excellent. The steak and eggs divorciados was pretty good but the rice it was served with threw me off (would've preferred potatoes with the sauces). Churros were a great end to the meal. read more

Colonia Verde - Chicken with slop. - Latin American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Update: I'm rounding down to a 2 because we got shooed out of there! I hobbled into this place for a late brunch after breaking my heel 1 block away from there and was hoping for a nice and unstressful dining experience. Instead, I had a mixed one. Food = 3.5 / 5. Service = 2.5 / 5 aka middle of the road. I sat in the back across from the kitchen watching the staff work so hard to prepare dishes that looked appetizing. Our server Amando was lovely and their actions epitomised stellar customer service. We were provided so many recommendations and guidance about the menu items. I asked Amando what their favorite brunch dish was and although I was recommended shrimp tacos, I decided to go with duck chilaquiles. The flavor of the duck is nice and it's a pretty large portion of food to keep you nice and full. Maybe it's missing some onion? The yucca coconut cake with lime zest dessert with the cream on top was also tasty. At some point after we finished our meal, we hung out for a bit in the restaurant just chatting. After a while, someone possibly named Sebastian came to our table abruptly and introduced himself to us by barking in our faces that we need to leave because (paraphrased), dinner service is starting soon and he needs the table. It was then that I noticed that the restaurant had cleared out and was empty apart from staff and ourselves. His tone and approach were aggressive and rude (hence why I used "barked"), especially considering that we'd been sitting there, not warned about this by him or anyone else while we were there (or we would have left). He approached us as though this was something we were repeatedly being told. Maybe he was having a tough day or maybe that's just the way he talks. I could try to be understanding about that. Unfortunately, a manager who conducts himself that way with customers has potential to scare them off. Remember how I mentioned my heel broke? The boots were brand new I was upset about almost spraining my ankle from the incident, but didn't feel the need to take that out on anyone else whether it was The Outnet's (grrrr!) customer service agent I spoke to right before entering the restaurant or the restaurant staff. My friend and I chatted for a bit outside the restaurant about how uncomfortable that was and how we didn't deserve to be snapped at. A different staff member came outside to talk to us in an attempt to explain that the restaurant had dinner service while not addressing us explaining that our disappointment was with how aggressive and rudely the information was delivered to us by Sebastian. Despite my curiosity about the other dishes that could end up being quite yummy, I want to eat where I feel comfortable and Colonia Verde is not the place for me. read more

Colonia Verde serves tasty modern Latin American dishes and I'm so glad I got to check them out! Started off with the crispy pork belly in salsa verde that had fragrant herb flavors with a touch of tangy vibes. Pork belly pieces were indeed crispy with a good meat to fat ratio. The trout ceviche tostada was probably my favorite because the fish pieces were fresh and tender, and paired nicely with citrus flavors of the leche de tigre and creaminess of the habanero mayo. The duck confit tacos featured tender duck meat that was decently seasoned, but much better with the habanero aioli that gave it an extra kick. Wish the portions were bigger nevertheless! The chicory salad was better than expected! Not only were the veggies fresh, but also the vinaigrette was appropriately sweet and sour but not too overpowering. The smoked gouda and chicory leaves gave it a tad of bitterness that was complemented by the sweet dressing and dried nectarines. Loved the rustic vibes and lots of plants!! They not only have a greenhouse area (covered) but also an outdoor area. I was debating about dessert and ultimately decided against it, but the server still brought out a dessert to celebrate my birthday!! It was a spiced chocolate flavor that reminded me of Oaxacan chocolate drinks. Had a great time overall and hope I get a chance to come back! read more

Let me start off by saying food and drinks are solid. Got the Agua Chile Shrimp and Ribeye and they were good. But what I found a little disappointing was this specific table that we were sat at. This table looking out the window should be only for walkins! We were cornered right next to the host stand, phone ringing and food delivery right next to us. The best part was the view, the table was leveled with the seats outside so you can see peoples behind. No offense to the woman but a $300+ meal for 2 people should not include that. The urgency from the staff to find another table for us was disappointing, with excuses like "theres other reservations on those tables", even though we also made reservations. I would find that reasoning reasonable if we were walk-ins. But we were not. 5 's for food -3's for service specifically from host and management, server and bartender were lovely . read more

5 stars Ambience: loved the backyard covered patio. romantic and a perfect way venue for a summer/fall meal. The indoor restaurant was also beautiful but a little on the smaller side. Reservations are a must during peak hours. They have a few small tables outside, but you recommend indoors / back patio. Service: 50/50. Out of the 2 servers - one was excellent. The other one was curt and seemed irritated. Drinks: - Favorite: tickled pink, el mezcalero - La picosa, verano sin ti were okay Food: - The cauliflower was amazing. Sausage and veggie pirrillada was delicious. Tacos and steak were nicely done as well. Churro donuts were good Overall we had a great time and strongly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Went here for dinner last night and overall had a solid experience. The food I tried was tasty, and the atmosphere was great for a night out. That said, I noticed that a lot of the menu items included pork or cilantro--which I personally don't eat (I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap). It made my options a bit limited, but what I did order was well-prepared. My friend, on the other hand, loved everything she tried and raved about the flavors and the drinks. So if those ingredients aren't a dealbreaker for you, you'll probably have a great time. Would be amazing to see a few more flexible or customizable options on the menu in the future! The service was great as well! My friends ordered the Achiote Chicken and we had the Gringo Churros for dessert! read more

We're so sad that the quality of the food has dropped so far down since the last time we came a few years back. Their shrimp taco, as seen in the picture below, comes with ONE small slice of avocado, despite their price increasing to 23 dollars. The tortilla is large but the filling is incredibly limited, making you wonder how they couldn't add one or two more slices of avocado for that price...since the wrap was huge with such little fillings, the entire dish tasted overly bland. This used to be our favorite, but now it became one of the worst shrimp taco we ever had :/ The fries came 10 minutes after our main entree arrived, and they also did not have any ketchup to go with the fries; it comes with a overly watery chipotle Mayo that barely stuck onto the fries because of how watery it was. The hostess told us the fries was around 5 dollars on its own, but they charged us 8 at the end, which was unexpectedly shocking. The duck and chips were also nothing special, with the duck being overly lean with no fat to make it a bit more rich. The hostess was very friendly but seems like she doesn't know the prices of their items, which is unfortunate. Service was often chaotic and inconsistent, albeit it being a Saturday during brunch so I understand if they're overwhelmed. We really had high hopes for Colonia, but this experience was so disappointing and demoralizing :/ unfortunately I can't rationalize coming back for the poor quality and high price tag of their dishes.. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: read more

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Colonia Verde and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We've loved dining here for years, and the event only deepened our appreciation for this gem. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and effortlessly beautiful -- perfect for a celebration. The food was incredible, and our guests are still talking about it. The service was outstanding -- thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely kind. They handled my avocado allergy with great care, and when I spilled sauce on my white top, a server appeared immediately (and discreetly!) with club soda before I even reached for a Tide pen. The team was so organized and accommodating, even letting us bring our own décor for the garden setup and handling all the details for us. Everything ran seamlessly, and it truly set the tone for our wedding weekend. We can't wait to return for every anniversary dinner! read more

I've come here several times now over the last few years and stopped by again yesterday and realized I never left a review for this place. Overall, the interior of the space is spacious and quiet when it's not busy. They have outdoor seating for the warmer months as well as a backyard patio. Highly recommend their shrimp tacos and the golden tilefish for lunch. The fish and risotto have a lovely texture whilst being light and creamy. You must also try the pork belly appetizer. The shrimp Al ajillo is delicious and flavorful but they come unpeeled so you have to work for the shrimp which is tedious and both my boyfriend and I disliked having to skin the shrimp. The palomita drink is spirit free and could benefit from some carbonation in my opinion because it otherwise leaned more towards a medicinal flavor. The staff are all very kind and attentive. Overall, I do enjoy my visits here and they are consistent with both service and food quality. Highly recommend checking them out!!! Stop by and enjoy their varied Latin American menu. read more

FOOD & SANITATION : UNSANITORY -wanted to try this place. Food tasted really good until I found hair in my breakfast taco(1 out of 3 tacos). They said sorry and gave another taco to replace, I was shocked as they didn't even offer to take the entire meal off the menu. It must happen too often as they didn't care as much. SERVICE: waitress couldnt explain wine list (type of wine, flavor) didn't know ingredients of dishes. Overall, not knowledgeable about the menu and seemed slow to react. I really liked the wine, cocktails and food, however I won't be able to come back after finding HAIR in my food. read more

I came here recently for dinner and drinks with friends. Very Brooklyn vibes in the back outdoor area. Everything was quite pricey such as the 2 relatively small duck confit tacos for $13. They reminded me a lot of the aromatic duck dish that you can find at many Chinese restaurants, which would usually be cheaper and greater quantity. The macaroni and cheese was pretty underwhelming. The achiote chicken was fine, but nothing stunning. I think my favorite part of the meal was the calasparra rice that came with the chicken. Overall, it was a cute spot, but pricier than I would be willing to pay to go again. read more
