My favorite restaurant for many years. nice atmosphere. amazing service. the food and bakery is the best
Good, but expensive. My husband has been here to eat several times, but I usually get things to go. I've had the lobster ravioli, foie gras, french toast, burrata avocado toast, burrata avocado salad, lobster ravioli, Kobe sliders, red velvet cake, carrot cake and doughnuts (not all at once lol). Most of the food is good, but very pricey. The lobster ravioli was fine, foie gras good, but small, Kobe sliders just plain meat, but the fries were yummy, burrata salad good, avocado toast overkilled with onions and all the desserts were good. The decor inside is nice and they also have an outside dining area. The staff seem fine - hard to say never having sat inside personally, but my husband has not had anything notably bad to say. I would just say it's hard to keep ordering from them when I just see prices climb up and up especially for food delivery service apps. For example, I previously got the French toast for $12 and it went up to $16! A 33+% increase seems crazy to me. Some items seem okay, but being pricey to begin with and then raising by so much has made me less inclined to order as much as I used to. It's also not close by to anything so driving is more convenient and they do have a small parking lot in front.
Duet bakery & restaurant was a nice experience except for when a couple sat down in the outside dining area and had their dog with them that barked loud and aggressively. Thankfully I was wrapping up my meal and was paying the bill when they got seated because I would have been highly upset sitting through that while I tried to enjoy my meal. Duet is a dog friendly restaurant and allow dogs in the outdoor seating area which I didn't enjoy at all. How inconsiderate can customers be to bring their pets to establishments knowing that they bark. Do you not care that other people are eating and don't want to hear your loud obnoxious dog barking the whole entire time???? Anyway, I've never been to the Mill Basin section of Brooklyn so I was quite amazed at the beautiful houses and how lovely the neighborhood was. I sat outside which was cozy and quiet compared to indoors. The highlight of my meal was the dessert. I ordered the lobster ravioli which was gorgeous but it didn't taste as good as it looked. I like my pasta al dente but it was undercooked and I didn't like the lobster filling inside. The appetizer left a bad taste in my mouth but it was sardines so that was to be expected. The service was nice, staff was attentive, the atmosphere was quiet and cozy and the food presentations were lovely. Didn't care too much for the food itself except dessert. Ig:@soooomuchfun
Hidden Gem... A close friend visited Duet the other day & was raving about how good their food was, so I decided to check it out for brunch. Let's just say, he was right!!! I had the Breakfast skillet, which was full of flavor. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned, topped with sautéed onions, chicken sausage, a 2 sunny side up eggs. Definitely recommend this dish! I also was craving something sweet so I decided to order the French toast. Let's just say I would be back for the French toast...
Yummy... lobster Benedict. Not too many places around here that would serve that. Service was good. Great place for brunch. They also have an outdoor area for dining
When I heard the Wednesday special at Duet Bakery and Restaurant was 50 percent off their main dishes, I was perplexed. Was it a clever marketing strategy to attract new customers or a way to retain regulars? I was curious enough to get answers. It was a little out of the way for me unless you are already in the neighborhood because you live or plan to shop at Kings Plaza. The restaurant was beautiful, branded (signage, menus, even glassware), comfortable seating (we reserved a booth), and offered mouth-watering photos of their food on the large TV in the back of the dining room. Although it was helpful (since we eat with our eyes first), it became harder to make a selection. Yes, everything looked good. Our server never introduced himself, he made some recommendations. The hospitality was alright. I ordered the 10 oz pan-seared Norwegian salmon, which normally comes with wild rice and basil pesto. However, I substituted the wild rice with creamy mashed potatoes. The fish was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were smooth, rich, and delicious. Yummy! As our party of four browsed the dessert menu, the majority of us craved the apple pie a la mode. We were disappointed that there was none, not even the carrot cake in a pot. I wanted to try something different so I opted for the Napoleon. It was good but not my favorite. We were impressed by the three scoops of ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, and pistachio), which were presented to our table on an illuminated ice block with grooves. Next time, I would like to try the Tabaka chicken under a brick.
The other reviews regarding customer service are true, but the food outweighs that to me. The complimentary bread was served with an interesting pesto butter. French Onion Soup- Very tasty and plentiful. ($14) Spicy Salmon Tartare- It arrived in a cute mini gold bathtub. Delicious and very generous compared to other places. ($22) Shrimp Scampi- My favorite out of the entrées. It was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. ($28) Lobster Ravioli & Lobster Cream- Presentation was beautiful, but the taste was lacking. ($22) Kobe Beef Sliders & Fries- Such a generous serving size. I preferred American cheese and regular fries better out of the options. ($19) Ferrero Rocher Cake- The name basically explains the taste. It was very good. ($15) I wouldn't expect much in terms of customer service, but the food is delicious, and they are very generous with the portions.
The perfect brunch in Brooklyn! Fancy for a cute girls day out. Drinks and the food had the best presentation and was delicious. Service was 5 stars
Came here for brunch. Very varied menu. French onion soup - very cheesy, pipping hot and delicious - grilled salmon salad - my friend thought it was good but the salmon was somewhat over cooked -skirt steak and eggs - steak was awesome. Deliciously marinated. Side of diced potatoes also fantastic. No bread was put on table. I'm my opinion bread is needed esp with sunny side up eggs. We asked more than once and finally got ONE slice of bread!!!! Due to our annoyance, the waitress brought a few rolls finally. Coffee was good. Small charge added for credit card payments Hard to find parking.

Was this grossly overpriced? Totally and absolutely. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny for average food in a nondescript location in the middle of nowhere. Our server was not having it that night. From the moment we walked in to the minute we left, we felt like he was having a bad day and couldn't have been more annoyed with every single customer's presence. Not a great feel. Needless to say, service left wanting more. Would not return here just so I wouldn't have to interact with that waiter. Ambiance is pleasant. The establishment aims to provide a more upscale vibe, even if customers are dinning super casually on a Thursday night. $28 Mongolian beef appetizer was tasty--a bit too dry--more sweet sauce would've been in order. The portion was big--good to share amongst several people. The fact that an appetizer costs as much as an entree is nuts to me. $54 for 8 oz. Filet Mignon entree was standard steak house price but this establishment is not a steakhouse. Both our fillets were cooked to the temps we ordered. The meat was good quality. However. The entire dish was BLAND. Zero salt or seasoning in anything. What? Did the chef forget to add salt to everything?? The sauce would've been great if it was seasoned and had taste. Same goes for potatoes gratin and mushrooms and meat. This was bizarre. How do you not season food? $15 napoleon was okay. Not the best and not the worst I had. The cream was too heavy on the eggs and more of a custard consistency, not the traditional Russian napoleon kind. Big piece, though, so it's good to share amongst several people after a filling dinner. Would I return? For such prices, bad service, and bland food--no. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

My friend and I stopped in here for an afternoon pick me up. I told the hostess we were here for coffee and dessert and she sat us with a smile! I ordered a latte with oat milk and a Napoleon. Latte was on point and the dessert was definitely a size to be shared ! We sat and chatted for a while and we can't wait to come back here for a full meal ! P.S: Cocktail menu looked amazing and they have happy hour!!! read more

Came here for brunch about a month ago, and saw their daily specials on the back of the menu. I knew I wanted to check out their dinner during their 50% off night. We were pretty much impressed by almost everything. Two bottles of this amazing Sauvignon Blanc, Fried calamari, chicken yakatori, skirt steak, rib eye, lamb chops, and Israeli couscous - ALL AMAZING! The mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were a bit dry in my opinion but I would give it a second try. Thank god it was 50% off night because our bill would've been close to 500$ and that's why I dropped a star. I do feel it they are priced high- their appetizers and desserts are priced rather high- to the point where we contemplated just ordering multiple main dishes for the 50% off and forgoing apps lol I saw many reviews regarding service. I didn't personally have an issue with the service. Our waiter was direct, came when I needed him to come, made a couple of jokes. Had no issues there. He wasn't exactly the hey how are you, how's the weather but I am not exactly a fan of that small talk. Oh.. the donuts? Delicious!! But we waited a half hour for them. If that's how long they normally take, it should be noted on the menu. We were rushing home to relieve the nanny and would've ordered them earlier had we known. Great experience. Delicious food. Prices a little high. I'll come back for the nightly specials!!! read more

My family was pretty content with their service and delivery speed. The menu is amazing with varieties in different cultures foods. Some of the dishes weren't the greatest: the potatoes and mushrooms were undercooked and emitted a strange smell and the lobster ravioli was also under done which could be told by the toughness of the dough. However, the dessert never disappoints. My favorite includes the honey cake, the white mousse cake, and the napolian cake. Overall, this place serves a huge amount of convenience when I have people over and we're all looking for some quality food. read more

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! I live a few blocks away and the order took nearly an hour and fifteen minutes. We ordered the lobster Benedict, burger and bagel platter. When it finally arrived everything was ice cold and the bread on the burger and the Benedict was so mushy it was inedible. Additionally, I've never actually seen bagels as small as the ones they provide with the bagel platter. They give you 5 and an array of spreads and smoked salmon. I used 3 "bagels" just on the chicken salad! For being ludicrously overpriced and often empty inside, you would think they would make more of an effort. This is my second time giving them a shot. I had dinner and dined in once as well and was disappointed but figured I'd give them another try before writing a review so they couldn't say it was just the one time. My advice? Get actual bagels, (a recommendation I now see has been given by other reviewers but was clearly ignored) even Lenders are better! And take the money you spend on the pretty packaging and use it for more staff. Obviously my order didn't really take that long, but was sitting around before it was delivered. Lastly, I watched the delivery guy sitting in the car trying to find my phone number before he called me and delivered the food. If this is how much priority he puts into all of his deliveries, I'm sure a lot of people are getting cold food. read more

I loved having brunch here. Everything was amazing. The best french toast I've had so far. And my friends enjoyed their food as well. The mimosas were so fresh. And dessert was delicious. I'm definitely coming back for the dinner menu. The staff were amazing. They offered to put my friends birthday bouquet in water so us. So sweet! Definitely check this place out. read more
I live close by to Duet Bakery and decided to give it a try for brunch on a Sunday. When we walked in, there was a line and the hostess directed us to a separate room (I guess?) that was not connected to the original main two rooms. We were seated and we ordered the salmon eggs Benedict, regular dish with two eggs, potatoes, salad, bacon, and then the egg and potato skilled. However, this is where the real disaster happened. The dish with the eggs/potatoes/etc (traditional dish) was supposed to come with potatoes and toast! None of which was brought! Of course, this isn't the waiter's fault entirely, but he should've noticed this. We also ordered an iced cappuccino and 2 hot cappuccinos. The drinks were great though. However, as the room started to fill up, there was only ONE waiter for about 10 tables! He couldn't keep up with all the requests for everyone, continuously messed up orders, and even forgot to bring things when we asked. When we asked for the bill, he even brought us the completely wrong bill! This place definitely needs to work on its service.. read more

We ordered a cake for baby reveal party, and this is what we got We liked their cakes and were ordering often from this place but we never expected anything this ugly for $145. The topping was soft and leaking all the time, even though it was in the fridge. I don't even want to start with colors!!! How can anyone eat this much dye??? Or give it to kid??? Crazy!!! I ordered light blu with white and pink with white colors with sign on white oval chocolate and this is what I got. We ordered cake for 1 pm, we came at 2 and had to wait 30 min for them to give it to us. read more
I found this place because of their Monday oyster deal! 50 cents per oyster on Monday. The oysters were good, creamy texture and huge! I do prefer saltier and small oysters but for 50 cents it was an amazing deal. Now the stars of the meal were the Peking duck roll and the seared scallops with parpadelle. OMG soo good! I would come here again for the scallops and the delicious buttery sauce. I did also order the tuna tar tare but it did not blow my mind, it was good but I was expecting something a little more special. The service was great, we got attended quickly and they were so nice and polite which I appreciated. Thank you so much! read more
