White asparagus and Swedish meatballs
Erin C.

Late dinner on a Thursday night. Sat in the back garden which was so delightful on a warm spring night. You must get the Swedish meatballs, and the white asparagus - both phenomenal. I would go back for the meatballs any day. We got the recommendation from a friend who said they took over the space that was Gran Electrica. Super romantic and charming vibes.

Onion soup

Scandinavian food with a French twist. It's been awhile since I've had such sublime Scandinavian & it's so welcome. A lovely interior( think Scandinavian farmhouse) larger looking than the petite exterior near the part of Brooklyn that's very hype right now. Ate : Rye bread service Chicories salad Onion soup Atlantic halibut Swedish meatballs Total: $112 without tip The price point is pretty fair for the quality of food. The caviar spread with the bread plus house cultured butter was lovely My favorite was the halibut. Perfectly cooked & paired with an unusual though flattering veg action. Everything was outstanding. Tables are a bit small though and I would definitely comeback for dessert.

Espresso martini - the best

Popped into to this little spot for a drink in their courtyard. It was just lovely. Family friendly but still down to earth yet chic. Didn't eat the food although all of the dishes coming out looked delicious! We had a few cocktails but stand out was the espresso martini. I know it's cliche and trendy but it is a great bar hop drink to keep you energized and not too tipsy! Ha! We've been getting around town trying them all and this one was THE BEST. The mixologist here is next level. I cannot wait to come back for the food and more espresso martinis.

Warm Crab Dip

This is a new gem in the center of DUMBO. Get transported to Sweden, with classics with a twists and flavors I can genuinely say were completely new to my palette. The burger was something completely imaginative, the house-made lingonberry soda is mind-blowing. Great service and cute neighborhood ambiance, I'm excited to go back for more!

Bread

The service was very attentive! Was a busy night, but still we were served quickly with drinks and starters. Meatballs and cabbage were our favorite dishes. And princess cake for desert is to die for Overall a good cozy spot for a perfect date night

Branzino
Oleksandr D.

Fantastic dinner! We shared four mains along with the bread basket and oysters -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great service and a lovely atmosphere made for a perfect evening. My father who is a picky eater loved it. Outside garden is a must.

Oysters and bread service

Don't let the 1 star reviews fool you, this place is beyond good! The service, ambiance, and food were 5 star worthy. I will definitely be returning soon!

French Toast

Highly recommend. The garden is unmatched in Dumbo. Brunch was lovely. I recommend the French toast and the lamb Benedict.

Absolutely delicious pickled herring appetizer!

The Spaniard is a spot for a real drink if you're in the mood…read more I've been here a few times. The last time was a couple of weeks ago, were in town for the weekend. After a nice stop and a secret garden in west Greenwich, I decided to use the points I had racked up and suggested a beverage at the Spaniard. It was agreed upon, in part as i suggested "they probably have a nice bathroom". Of which they did. It helped they had a nice house drink menu too. My gal found something she would like, and she did. After a fun drink off their menu I got a scotch. Old Putney 12 year. Actually the bartender came up and said they were out, would I want a 18 year or 20 year, something like that. it was a bit more money but it was he last beverage of the weekend trip so I got it. My Lourd it was good. If we had time I would have gotten an Oban they had, but we were off. But we will be back, maybe this year. And if I have racked up enough points in the area, I will suggest this excellent whisky bar.

Walking through the cold streets, I stumbled upon The Spaniard which has quickly become one of my favorite NY destinations! We were there for a quick 30 hour trip to experience the "Holiday Magic". After a long day of travel, we just needed something good. We arrived and they accommodated us in a back booth tucked behind the bar, perfect! Our waiter was a delight and very responsive. The martini was kick-ass and our waiter was kind enough to offer us many recommendations. We landed on Charbroiled Oysters, Steak Tartare, and French Onion Dip. Someone slap me, I'm drooling while I write this review over a year later. Seriously, phenomenal. Every bite was amazing! We cleared the table and manged a few cocktails during our time with The Spaniard. If you are ever in the West Village, stop by, you won't be sorry! Thanks me later, actually!

The owners were milling around making sure everyone was well taken care of and the wait staff were kind and personable. Now the food...AMAZING!!! Every bite we took was wonderful and so surprising with creative combinations and gorgeously presented. The restaurant itself was hip and refined and seemed to be the happening spot of the night. We will certainly be back!

It wasn't super crowded…read morewhen we arrived around 6pm (maybe due to the extreme cold that day) but started filling up gradually. I loved the ambiance and decor, very cozy. As for food, there were some true hits but most of the food was good but basic. The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

We ended up booking a party of four initially when rezzies were released. Later, we made a separate rez for a party of two as we had two more people join and there weren't any openings for a party of six. They were nice enough to combined the two bookings and give us one table when we checked in. I got the chinatown no 5. I was born in sf chinatown and my last name in chinese is the number 5, so I figured it was meant to be. Very cute presentation. The cocktail is in a bottle, so you end up with more than one pour. Nice since the rest of my party could try. I did have another cocktail afterwards, but I cannot remember what it was for the life of me. I enjoyed sipping on it tho. Our server was sooo sweet. Friendly, attentive, and informative. The cocktails here are definitely creative, so she was very helpful in guiding us towards what we may like and describing the different drinks. Inventive cocktails. Had a great time here. REVIEW #4012

Not surprising, then, that it was pretty packed by the time we finished dinner, at 10:30ish. Serptentine has a solid cocktail list, one that definitely reflects the West Village sensibility. The drinks are all clear variations of classics (ie., martini, negroni, espresso martini, margarita, old fashioned, etc.) but with some added intrigue. All well-executed and made efficiently, which is very impressive during weekend primetime. If you're not nearby I wouldn't make a trip to the area just for Serpentine, but it's a fantastic option if you live/work in the neighborhood and/or are getting a meal in the area and are looking for a bar to start or end at. As I mentioned, it was relatively busy when we arrived here. There weren't any open seats initially but the host said we could hang around the bar for a bit, as he expected a table to open soon. It was probably 10 minutes before we were sat which is basically like being sat immediately in New York time. And generally, the staff here were great -- very personable and accommodating, quick service, only praise in that area. The vibes here are cozy but lively, giving more of a friend hangout than a date (it's also relatively loud so not ideal for conversation if you're sitting across from someone at a table, versus standing and mingling or sitting on bar stools). If you're a dirty martini person you are in luck here, because the Serpentini (grey goose vodka, dry vermouth, olive brine, pepperocini liqueur) is unlike any other. And I get dirty martinis pretty much everywhere I go, so that's saying something. Why is it so unique, you may ask? Well, the pepperocini liqueur is a nice touch and props to whoever decided it was necessary to make such a thing. But the real game changer is the sidecar. You may be thinking -- how is a sidecar unique? Well, it's not just any sidecar...it is not filled with more martini but simply PURE FILTHY BRINE. I mean, if you're ordering a dirty martini, you probably would take a bath in olive brine, brush your teeth with olive brine -- hell, maybe even your contact solution is just olive brine. Want to make your martini dirtier as you drink it? Serpentine has you covered. It is so simple and obvious yet I've never experienced it before. And, because I've never met someone who loves dirty martinis who doesn't also drool over blue cheese-stuff olives, the Serpentini's got that too. Though less exciting and groundbreaking, Mezcal Negroni (ilegal mezcal, campari, averna amaro, lo-fi gentian amaro) is also solid. I love a mezcal negroni and this one is relatively straightforward, just a subtle variation with a few different amaros to add some complexity and herbal notes. A fun and versatile neighborhood spot. It's in prime location so I imagine to rent is absurd, so fingers crossed that it sticks around!
