We had a fun time at Lamonte this past Friday for happy hour drinks! It was a little odd when we arrived as the entire place was quite empty and they seemed hesitant to seat us. They mentioned having a full stack of reservations but once we confirmed we were willing to leave by 6 pm, all was fine and we snagged a table. We also arrived early, so if you don't have a reservation, make sure you show up to grab a seat at the bar as it can get busy. The happy hour martinis are quite good and for $10 you can beat it in Williamsburg. They also offer shrimp and oysters for $2.50 a piece and the HH lasts until 7 pm. It's rare to find that late of a deal and they also offer it on the weekends too, which is pretty amazing. In addition to martinis and shrimp, we also ordered their cheeseburger to split. Overall the ambiance is cute and lively, with friendly staff and great food. I will definitely return here again on my next visit. Thank you for a fun time! read more

Lamonte - HH Shrimp - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great drinks. Overpriced and borderline bad food. Will only come back for drinks moving forward. Very mid and expensive food. Beet and mezcal cocktail is great, hints of vanilla and the mezcal blends perfectly w the beet juice. Carrot spicy mezcal cocktail was also veryyy good. Hamachi- just tasted like lemon, couldn't taste anything else. Wouldn't get again. Tagliata- pretty bad. I don't even think it was skirt steak, it was more like ground beef that got mashed back together. Tasted like liver. The best part of this was the greens on top. Bolognese- was fine. The sauce was pretty watery and didn't stick. Cheese was good not great. Prob the best of the things we got. All in all very expensive food BUT the drinks are great and the ambiance is nice. read more

Such a cute, intimate bistro in Williamsburg with amazing prices and an incredible vibe. The decor is stunning and truly makes you feel like you've escaped NYC for a bit. The food was delicious, though the drinks didn't quite stand out as much. Service felt a little cold at times, but I'd absolutely be open to giving it another try. A reservation is a must -- I'd love to come back on a Saturday instead of a Sunday. read more

Cute bar with great vibes and friendly staff! And of course, their delicious drinks. Got the What's Up Doc -- a carrot and ginger juice-based cocktail that was absolutely perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and so delicious. Can't wait to come back to try more drinks (or honestly just order that again)! read more

My favorites here were the croquettes and the brussel sprouts - my group opted for apps and drinks. I didn't love the artichokes. I also ordered the What's Up Doc, which I enjoyed - it tasted like a green juice but with alcohol, so it's healthly, right? I'd say it was well-priced and the ambiance was nice - we were seated immediately in the backyard patio area for a group of 4 at about 8PM on a Friday night. Will come back for happy hour! read more

Came here for their martini happy hour on a weekend which was nice. It is a small-ish place but the service is really nice. We tried their mussels which were delicious along with their chicken milanese which had a Caesar salad on top. It was weird but kinda worked? We also tried their oysters on happy hour which were really fresh and delicious. Overall, great place and will be back! read more

I came here on a Monday night with a friend to try Lamonte's oyster happy hour deal. Happy hour runs all day Sunday through Thursday, but at $2/oyster, it certainly isn't the best deal in terms of price you can find in the city. The oysters were a bit small, but I did like all the accoutrements they came with. The service was good and the rest of the food/drink menu looked good, as well. I'd love to come back to try more. read more

This is easily my favourite place to go in Williamsburg, with plenty of places to choose from now in BK, the food and cocktail selection here is elite and the best in the neighbourhood. My go to is the chicken caesar salad and fillet mignon, all their steaks are 10/10. I feel like ive tried just about everything else on the menu and its alway so delicious. The vibe inside is so good and the staff are all handsome for some reason. such great date spot, ill even go solo and sit at the bar for an ice cold Peroni on tap. Cant get enough, its the first place i recommend everytime im asked about a place to go to in Brooklyn. I never write reviews but felt compelled to as im always raving about how good it is so its probably about time i did. Well done team at Lamonte, keep it up read more

I love Lamonte !! I wish I had found it sooner when I was visiting NY. They have a special with 4 oysters, 4 shrimp, 2 shots of vodka, and a side of pickles for $25. Everything tasted fresh and so amazing. Such a great restaurant with great vibes and nice staff. The bartenders were so nice! It seemed like everyone visiting was a local and knew each other. I will most definitely be back next time I'm in New York. read more

I think I came in on an off night. I was at the restaurant for 2 hours when I should have only been there for 1. I came in without a reservation and was seated right away. There was no host so I had to walk up to the sole waitress for the whole restaurant. She was very friendly and made up for the weirdness of my night. The restaurant is cozy and warm. Good for a date night if it's a good night for Lamonte. I got the happy hour shrimp cocktail and oysters. You need to order a minimum of 5 shrimp and 6 oysters. Both were good but came out separately (they forgot to serve me my shrimp cocktail). Steak was delicious but not medium. I appreciate that they sliced it for me. Was good for leftovers the next day and surprisingly the fries held up. To make up for waiting so long for my food, I was offered free dessert. I ordered the strawberries and cream, and my God is it heavy on the cream. They should name it cream and strawberries. It was delicious but I wish they added more strawberries. Would I come again? I'll try a second time, but if my night is long like this again I'm peacing out and finding somewhere else to get happy hour at. read more

NO!!!! We had 5pm reservations but they didn't let us in because we had 2 kids in our party of 7!!!

Love this place. Happy hour, seafood and oysters, french feel. Such a cute bar/restaurant right by the bedford L. This place has multiple seating options in front, inside, or in the backyard. I chose the front where I got a perfect people watching view and to greet new diners. It's also right next to the stairs leading to the door, which feels very homey when waiters stroll down to check up on you. The deals are crazy, all day happy hour for oysters and shrimp cocktail. This was a perfect lunch: 6 oysters, white wine, and fries with a side of gravy. The waitress was helpful in suggesting wines and overall great. The oysters were delicious, though would often be stuck to the shell. Nbd. The wine was perfect, and the fries and gravy were so satisfying. Would definitely come back for a lazy sunday read more

Amazing oysters, got both the cold rn or mal and the oysters Rockefeller. Delish. Drinks are realllly good too. Whipped Ricotta was not good, very bland with no taste. The cacio pasta was soooo good. Ambiance is cute and small. Intimate perfect for a date night or even for a small group of friends Server wasn't the best and was pretty dismissive. read more

Very cozy spot in Williamsburg and right off the L train. Not too busy during weekend brunch so we got to sit right by the window, which is great for people watching (and bonus, you can see the train times right out the window). Service was friendly and quick - I think they do bring a credit card reader to the table (?). Fried chicken sandwich - thought this was quite dry and could have used more seasoning. Fries that came with weren't that crispy but were well-seasoned. Good filling portion size. read more

You really do feel like you're in a cozy French restaurant in France when you walk up those stairs to Lamonte . Talk about a great location right off the train stop, but you wouldn't tell once you walk through the door. This espresso martini was memorable. They added some nutmeg or something on top. I loved it. I'd just come back for that tbh. This spot is great for some drinks or a late diner which is what I came for . The sautéed kale was tasty with whatever they used to make it. My kale wouldn't taste like that and I wish I asked how they did it. The croquettes were alright but the sauce on top was fire . I shared the taltagli and steak with my partner. Everything was hot which is why it's an automatic 5/5 for me. The pictures don't do this restaurant justice on the delivery of these hot plates. I preferred the taltagli over the steak but that sauce that peppercorn sauce that went with the steak was marvelous . Oh our waitress was so nice and accommodating despite how busy it was . I've already told my friends about Lamonte as a nice date spot . read more

Location, happy hour and moules frites. This pretty much covers the best things about Lamonte and what I recommend you come here for. The service and drinks are great too. What really brought us here was their all day happy hour, which is incredible if you are looking for a deal on drinks and oysters on a weekday, without the pressure of having to leave work early enough to make it before a happy hour ends, anywhere respectable in New York City. We got the gin martini, which is strong enough to knock your socks off. The oysters were honestly pretty terrible. They looked weirdly scrambled and didn't taste great. I'm just glad we didn't get sick from it so definitely stay away from them. We moved onto the moules frites and they were just gorgeous. The mussels were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delectable. It comes with a side of fries and bread for the table. It's an adorable little establishment, right off the L on Bedford Avenue so location wise, it's fairly easy to get to. It's a fun little spot to catch up with friends so I highly recommend coming here. Stay away from the oysters though. read more

Came here for their happy hour on oysters. It took quite some time to receive our 10 oysters and although they were a deal there was A LOT of shell remnants in each one. it got to the point where i didn't really want more as i was guaranteed to be having one in my next bite. can't complain much again as there were each $2 but probably wouldn't come back again. I did like the interior and ambiance of the place though! would recommend the hugo spritz as a choice of drink read more

Secret gem in Williamsburg! Completely blown away by Lamonte. Being in Manhattan 24/7, we definitely don't get out to Brooklyn enough. This might have convinced me to make more of an effort. Per my friends recommendation she found this place on a whim. Our reservation was for 8pm on a Friday and this place was definitely buzzing. It is on the smaller, more intimate side. Drinks for starters - delicious. We got the pornstar martinis (multiple rounds might I add). For starters, the beer burrata A MUST HAVE. Filled with so much flavor and the bread was deliciously coated with herbs and butter. We couldn't get enough of it. My friends had the shrimp cocktail and were very impressed with the quality. For our mains, we got the chicken Milanese and one friend got the fish of the day. Again, big hits for us. The chicken was cooked to perfection and paired with this deliciously flavored mashed potato. We wanted to try the berries and cream for dessert but were way too full. Next time for sure. One thing I will mention was that at times we found it hard to flag our waitress down. I don't know if it was just her mood that day but she was a bit rude at times and not very accommodating to modifying drinks. A bit of a turn off but the rest of the employees were super nice! read more

WORST SERVICE IN BROOKLYN! Pls don't come here unless you're a regular and they know you. Came here for our anniversary around 10:10pm and they close at 12am. The lady working on June 19th was really nice and took our order but never checked back with us after taking the order. We wanted to order a wine with dinner but and put our empty glasses on the side but no one came up. I tried to say excuse me but no one heard me cuz they put the music at a max volume like a club. The tall man working seemed drunk and took our table from our original waitress. We sat there for over an hour when we wanted to order dessert but couldn't because no one told us last fall nothing or checks on us because they were too busy dancing with the regulars and talking to them. After over an hour the man asked to box our food up and he left it at the wrong table to someone else dining... after we asked to order dessert but he said they're kitchens closed but we had no idea because it was 11:15. We put in drinks but I just wanted to leave so bad because he seemed drunk and then he gave our check to another table too and we sat there waiting for a while to get our check when another table had it the whole time. Then he asked if we were closed out and it took us 10 times to say no while he yelled at the girl waitress. And he danced the rest the night with regulars at the bar. Never coming here. Pesto spaghetti wasn't that good but the bucatini and ricotta app was good. SUPER LOUD CLUB MUSIC DRUNK MALE SERVER WHO DIDNT KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING CHECKS ON U IF UR A REGULAR GUEST So if u like to just order one drink and a meal and not get checked on after over an hour with empty drinks and stuff then u can come here if you have time to kill while u wait for a check that is sitting at a wrong table too and ur food to go! read more

this is a cute lil spot with great decor right off the bedford stop. the food was disappointing but the service was good! we got the mussels to share and i ordered cod and my boyfriend the ribeye. mussels: fine, salty but flavorless. the fries were good! cod: dry in the middle and the potatoes underneath were strange. ribeye (in my bf's words): ordered medium rare, served medium rare. a bit tough and could benefit from a little more seasoning, but all and all a good value (under $40 for a 12 oz ribeye, greens, and fries). whiskey options were limited but mixed drinks looked good! seems like the burger is the way to go but don't think we'll be back to try it :/ read more

Went to this place to get a drink and some food but was disappointed. The place is too small for so many tables. We got to sit by the door and it was cold with it opening and closing. The bathroom has a distasteful picture. The drinks were ok but nothing to write home about. Decided to pass up the food. read more

Lamonte is a no doubt go to location. Aside from the impeccable service, the food is well prepared and blessed with the chefs kiss of flavor. I cannot input a review without mentioning the cocktails. Honestly the only location in Brooklyn I know I will always be served a PROPER and beautifully made cocktail. I see no future shortage of visitation at Lamonte and hope that if you're questioning that you give them a visit. A cozy but lively place that will never disappoint!! read more

Food was good but service was rude. One waitress/Hostess was very attentive and sweet however a male waiter, I didn't get his name just seemed annoyed and seamed like he just didn't want to take our order or answer any questions on the menu items. For example, I had asked for food recs and it was like an annoyance, they rolled their eyes. Overall, I could eat somewhere else with just as good food and get a much more friendly waitstaff for the same price tag. read more

You are making up lies. I did not demand anything. I asked the host if the table in the middle was where we were going to sit and she said yes and asked if it would be okay to sit there while I wait. She said yes. Second, the key part of the discussion was as long as we left within seating limit we could start later no problem. We even discussed the Ramones photo on the menu as I thought it was an interesting touch. Third, no larger plates? So you're telling me if we order an entree, you would bring the food out on 4 small sharing plates. Please. You are conjuring up a scenario that did not occur and you have anger problems. Your own staff was taken back and said, I'm just trying to keep a straight face and apologized to us. It's why we gave them a cash tip because we didn't want them to be subject to your tantrum. For anyone that reads this, take it for what it is. 95% chance that this experience won't be yours, but it DID indeed happen. read more

Incredible - everything a local neighborhood restaurant should be; cozy atmosphere, attentive service, and good old fashioned wholesome fare. We walked in on a Friday evening, and the Owner greeted us at the door and managed to squeeze us into a table for two. We had the Octopus to start (not on the menu), followed by sharing the Short Rib and Filet Mignon. Admittedly, my eyes being bigger than my belly, we ordered a side of fries...no need, the food was rich, heavy and incredibly filling. Made for a nice take-home bag. Everything else was spot on. Great service and ambience. read more

Went for brunch with friends on a rainy day. I miss El Almacen, but Lamonte made the space their own, it's pretty cute. The food was extremely bland, sort of like diner food, and although they were friendly, they did this thing at the end where they announced their credit card machine was broken - so we all had to scramble around for cash and to zelle and venmo everyone - ugh! - so awkward and annoying. The service was sleepy throughout, it's that Euro-style thing, where their head is in the clouds, dreaming of all things Catalan, Idk... Haven't been back, have had no desire, the superb Bistro So is literally right down the street. read more

Hands down best mussels in town. I've been coming here every week the past month. All of the food has been top notch quality at a very affordable price, especially for the Bedford stop location.

Great atmosphere! The inside looks really nice and cozy. We came for dinner and drinks for a table of four. The drinks were good! Great martinis and wine. The food was not anything to rave about. The burger was nice it tasted like an elevated Big Mac. The fries are not good sadly, missing the crunch and just tasted soggy. The seafood paella was mushy rice and mini seafood medley. Not much flavors going on there. Would come back for drinks a light bites! read more
