First of all, I don't need their entire story. They "found us a table" but she said we had to rush and we only Had an hour! I jokingly said "well you can kick us out if needed" and to my surprise, she said she would! Wow! ok, this totally set me on the defensive and down right out a damper on our entire meal. Oh and then the server "checked out" and like cleanly wasn't on the same "rush" schedule as the hostess, and like didn't take our order for like 15-20 mins. Once again, added stress I didn't need. OK, it Happens but sure sad about it. I'll move on to the LOBSTER wow what fun! It was a special and so great! Came with corn and potatoes and soft shell. Had we had a more attentive server, we would have wanted To order an extra lobster but that didn't Happen and with the rush we didn't Think we could slow Down and enjoy our meal. We ate fast and left. Bathroom line is long, only two 2 rooms. People want to Wash up, maybe they could add a wash station to help With that line. Really went out of our way to get to Redhook, sure wish we Could of enjoyed it since That was our only reason to go there. HAppy Birthday,right! Oh, they didn't even ask or know. Maybe we can blame this on the cruise ship being docked shame

BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

One of the better Chinese banquet style restaurants that I've been to. Came during late…read morelunch/early dinner hours to beat the dinner rush. It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

Came for Happy hour since I was in the neighborhood and haven't been in a long time. I was surprised that Josè remembered me at the bar so kudos to him I was really impressed. I had my usuals: Grilled oysters, raw oysters, and wings. Grilled oysters were tasty as always. Jose offered a lemon based hot sauce for them which I liked. The raw oysters were fresh and came with Pico de gaello; it is innovative and pairs really well. I loved it on the oysters. The Wings as always were really tasty, fried well and paired wit the lemon hot sauce made it even better. A1 Of course the drinks never dissapoint. Aside from Happy-hour there's a regular menu. Decent prices & options available. Definitely go check them out.

The next day which is today. We've been in bed whole day. The service was slow and the server messed up on the bill. The host questioned my child (which is a minor) about if the bill was taken care of instead of finding out from the server himself. How dare you question a minor instead of the adult to see if the bill was cleared. If I was there that wouldn't have happened. I stepped away to go to the washroom after paying the bill, which was incorrect. I even questioned it and was reassured that it was correct. To only have my child questioned about something they would know nothing about. Teach your staff about approaching children about adult matters. The setting was ok. It's just that the food wasn't fresh, tasteless, and made our stomach hurt and had to go to urgent care. We will not be rerunning that business again and I highly recommend that you don't either.

Also must be 4 or more guest in attendance. The food we order was all fresh and flavorful very hot and nice. The corn, edamame, fried chicken, crab legs, broccoli and lo mein was my favorite. I had the scorpion bowl drink which was very good and could served 4 people honestly. We enjoyed the Happy Birthday Robot and all the staff that came together to Sing Us Happy Birthday!! Felt welcome and the joy!! Overall it's a wonderful restaurant to enjoy delicious fresh hot food. Good for groups and accommodating for groups.

A Michelin-star contender in Brooklyn! One of my new faves…read more Discovered this spot through the red book, and it's easily one of my favorite finds so far. Every dish was incredibly unique, featuring exquisite flavors that truly "dance" on the palate. Squid (5/5): Cooked to absolute perfection, it was bouncy, chewy, and paired with a sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Steaklette (4.75/5): A fantastic dish. The sauce was once again the highlight, and it paired perfectly with the potatoes. My partner found it a bit salty, but for me, the seasoning was just right While they are currently Michelin Recommended, I truly believe they deserve a Star. If you're looking for a seafood-forward menu that is both creative and expertly executed, highly recommend!

My friend and I opted to share a few different dishes, which in order from favorite to least were as follows: - Risotto: the risotto was cooked pretty well and was creamy. A rich main to indulge in. - Head on shrimp: these tiny shrimp lowkey reminded me of crickets but taste so much better. You eat them whole and can dip into the yuzu mayo which is a fun experience. - Amberjack: a light and refreshing crudo that's worth ordering if you're in the mood, but not a must - Whipped mackerel: the bread was good and nicely toasted and the whipped mackerel had a lovely flavor. Would order this again. - Cod Pot Pie: I love the idea of this one and with the sauce it was pretty good, however the cod pot pie was on the dry side. Without the sauce it would've been a miss. We also got the mezcal flan for dessert which I highly recommend! The cocktail menu is also pretty fun and looking around the restaurant it seems like folks opt for these drinks over the wine list. The service was friendly and in order to maximize space on the table, got a vase to store the flowers I had brought for my friend. Overall a fun spot for a catch up or date night in the neighborhood, but I don't think you necessarily need to go out of your way to check out this spot.

Me and mom celebrated Mothers Day today! I chose the restaurant because I was there 2 years ago on…read moremy birthday in September! Before we ordered the Mother's Day special, I specifically asked the waitress if she would like her tip in cash and she said of course! The special was $95/person plus a 20% TIP ($38) which was $228! See photo below! We ordered some other items and the waitress gave me my bill for $252.86. We then drove 10 blocks to Chase to get out cash for her. I then noticed that I was charged $298.86. It was the $252.86 plus a TIP of $45.20! I immediately returned to discuss the discrepancies. The tip that was supposed to be $38 was now $45.20! The waitress then said she would credit my account. My question was how did this happen! All three waitresses stated it was not them and that the machine did this! How was this possible? Not one of them took responsibility for the discrepancies! Had I not looked at my bank statement then I would never have known that I would be tipping her twice! I then decided to leave to explain to my mom! Then the short Indian (I think) than sarcastically stated "Oh so now you're not going to tip us" Really! I drove 10 blocks and I NEVER ONCE STATED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO TIP HER! I merely was going to let my mom know what happened and then TIP her! Note* I was going to give her a $100 cash TIP! Had she given me the REAL receipt with the $45 TIP then I would have given her $50 CASH but since she only produced the REAL receipt after I came back (how ironic) and told her she charged the wrong amount, she would have received $100 TIP. But since the short Indian waitress made that slick remark, she did not receive anything! After the disrespect and blaming the machine and giving me a fake receipt? I decided to leave! If this is how you conduct business then you just lost a great customer! PS! The food was great!

The Rana's Table gets you four mezze plates (small bites), all eight appetizers, and one entree, for $58 a person. Each person also gets a dessert at the end. Though you only get to share one entree, don't be fooled - there is a ton of food. I loved that we got to try everything and she made sure to separate the non-gluten free items and bring me a side of cucumbers. My favorite bites were the fava bean, labneh, and tuna tartare. The branzino added $10 to the total cost but it was phenomenal. The only thing that didn't blow me away was the cocktail, but the gin and tonic was strong which suited me just fine.

I started with the Fried Calamari, which is always an amazing classic with its crisp and flavor, but I was so excited to try the Mussel Dolma. I didn't know what to expect, so I was definitely surprised to see it was served cold. The combination of the mussel, rice, currants, and warm spices were truly immaculate and blended together seamlessly. For the main course, I ordered the Iskender Steak: a 10-ounce grilled Black Angus strip served over flatbread with brown butter, tomato sauce, and yogurt. Every single bite was rich, savory, and satisfying. I paired it with a side of their Cherry Rice, and I would've never thought to add cherries in rice... but let me tell you, this was easily my favorite dish of the night.. It added the perfect touch of sweetness to the savory rice, making every bite more elevated. To finish, I had their pistachio dessert served with a ladyfinger cookie, and it was the perfect light and creamy ending to an incredible meal. I would love to come back and order Rana's Table to get a sample of all they have to offer.If you're looking to try something beyond the usual dinner spots, Rana Fifteen absolutely deserves a spot on your list!

It feels like a living, breathing maritime museum, full of character, stories, and the kind of charm you just can't manufacture. I stopped in on a slow Tuesday and was warmly welcomed by Lauren, the hostess, and Trish behind the bar. There was something special about experiencing the place when it was quiet, getting a feel for the people who work there and imagining how the whole place comes alive on a busy weekend. I only stopped in for a beer, so I can't speak to the food just yet, although I was treated to a slice of Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie, which was a lovely surprise. I can only imagine the wonderful chaos of a Friday or Saturday night here. But on a quiet afternoon, it has that rare feeling of a neighborhood institution, like it's been part of Red Hook since the very beginning. I'll definitely be back. This is the kind of place where you could spend an entire afternoon with a few friends, a couple of drinks, or catch their Friday movie night. A place to soak up the neighborhood, settle in, and happily let time slip by.

We shared the clam chowder (v good), the lobster roll (my favorite out of everything we ordered), crab roll (a little dry) and fish and chips (a lot of batter for me but the flavor was good), and a side of truffle fries (not my favorite fries in town but still ok). The service was fast, and when I say fast it means they brought our food 10 mins after ordering. The girl seating us was not making any sense with the tables situation but we got seated at the end.

My server was very attentive throughout the entire dinner without being overbearing. I wanted to mention her name but unfortunately misplaced my receipt. I love the fact that when I chose the calamari, that they do have the tentacles as well, and not just the rings. For Peaches Prime to meet that one thing was a BIG PLUS to me for a restaurant that looks a little bit more upscale.But the icing on the cake was the fact that I was able to ask for more calamari with the tentacles in less rings so for me that is a win! The drink glasses are quite small like most upscale restaurants are so by the time you put ice in a cup you don't have that much to drink. I ordered shrimp and grits and it has kale in it with mushrooms and the flavor profile was good, but it's not like a southern profile for grits. A southern flavor profile is more rich and hearty. It was good, but the grits were on the runny side. I was provided a fork. I thought it was a small joke at first. You 100% require a spoon and fork with the shrimp and grits. You need a fork for the shrimp and to remove the tails using your butter knife, but to eat the dish you need a spoon. I like the fact that the kitchen did have a little kick of spices. One thing that is always underrated when you go out to eat at a restaurant anywhere in the world, but especially in North America even in Canada, is that food usually comes out to your table warm not hot. But the food came out piping hot and I love that fact. So that's ANOTHER WIN!! They have non-gender restrooms. They were very clean. The hallway that leads to the restrooms seem to be in a different restaurant. I wanted dessert, but I didn't have the room for it after my delicious meal. I definitely will be back but it's not a restaurant that I can come to every week or else. It's not gonna be good for my diet. I would eat too much!

The long mirrors on the walls made the space feel bigger and taller as well. First and foremost, I'm giving this place a 5 for the service as they really went above and beyond. It was not the occasional stop by to refill water and grab dirty plates. Our waiter provided great recommendations and offered me a small sample of a wine I had heard him recommend to another table after I had already ordered my orange wine. In terms of food, the bluefin tuna special was very fresh. We enjoyed the hush puppies and the swordfish belly. The fry basket had thin rectangularly shaped fries which were amazing. The only thing is I wish it came with more than two pieces of shrimp and two pieces of fish. The chargrilled oysters were also very good. Lastly they offered free bread pudding which was a perfect way to end the night.

The charbroiled oysters were super flavorful and definitely reminded me of Felix's in NOLA. Buttery and garlicky and delicious. I also got the smoked fish dip with crackers, which was a tad salty but very tasty. I LOVED the spiced saltines they came with, they were so flavorful and addicting just on their own without any dip, and I would've been happy with just those as an app The shrimp loaf was good but maybe my least favorite. I loved the fried shrimp but there was too much bread and slaw, which was super pickle-y and punchy. I liked both, but they overpowered the shrimp The complimentary bread pudding was a a nice surprise and was one of my favorite items of the night! The Sazerac custard had so much depth of flavor and the breadwas the same pillowy bread I had in my sandwich, but I definitely liked it more soaked with custard It's a bit of a treat yourself solo dining spot, but the bartender was so nice and the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing.
