    Chorizo Mac and Cheese
    Jillian B.

    Solid food in a relaxed environment! My partner and I came after a comedy show in the area and were impressed by the menu - we had trouble choosing!! We both agreed the Mac and cheese was our favorite, albeit a little greasy. Would return to try other bites!

    GET THE DAVID CLUB SANDWICH! Please! I don't even eat meat often! I hate chicken, but this looked so good, so I decided to splurge! The sandwich is stacked and so tasty! The chicken is moist and flavorful! Absolutely devoured my lunch! The service was also spectacular and the perfect lokey spot for a sunny afternoon! Kinda felt like I was in the south if that makes sense! Really loved the vibe and the staff were supper attentive and nice! Highly recommend. My only con was that some of my fries weren't fully cooked, but that is it! Love it!! Will be back!!

    Chicken Milanese
    Mark W.

    Every time before last night I had been to New York City, I've only ever had my visits in Manhattan. This was my first time in Brooklyn. I had come to the city to go to a stop on the Light Places Tour as I had purchased a ticket well before the event. I was already checked in to The Bogart at LuxUrban (did they ever get a Yelp page added yet?) and before I went to go dance my brains off, I needed something for dinner. This dinner was one of the last things I had worked out a plan for for the visit and only managed to reserve a 7 pm table on the morning of on Google. Out of towners such as myself wouldn't just be able to know about this place like 80 years beforehand, but I'm glad I had found this. It serves New American and Mexican food alike, but its look is unmistakably Mexican. Red walls and the decor really sell the look and it pulls it off SUPER well! Everything was easy to find, so you for example didn't have to go on a 90-minute manhunt just to get to the bathroom. The food you see in these 2 photos was my order. It was my first time having Esquite, and the Chicken Milanese smelled great upon arrival. Everything I had in that order was delicious and I definitely recommend this place if you are in Brooklyn and are in the mood for Mexican food! Seriously, the Esquite especially was heavenly! The service was also really good. Was seated pretty right away even though I was about 20 minutes early, and I was already eating by the time my reservation was actually supposed to begin. Waiter was nice and even checked in every so often to see how I liked the food. I even got to watch a good portion of Spider-Man: No Way Home on their TV to my side as I ate which was a nice touch. Rock on Leslie's!

    Crispy Taquitos
    Samantha S.

    Solid restaurant! Good service. I vaguely remembered coming here for a burger with a pal a few months ago and returned yesterday for a light meal with another friend. Upon inspection of the menu, we were both happy to note the range of items (and portion sizes) listed. Being a tad peckish despite a late breakfast, I ordered the taquitos, which came in two pieces, plated with lettuce, radish, sauce, and cheese. My friend, meanwhile, ordered the French onion soup, which came in a large portion with cheesy bread on the side. She ate some and took the rest home due to a toothache caused by a dentist appointment earlier in the day. I polished off the taquitos. The total for our food was around $20, a great feat for a sit down lunch these days.

    David's Club Sandwich
    Bre Y.

    Ordered from here for the first time today, after scrolling past on seamless for so long. Boy, do I regret not ordering previously! I had the Club sandwich, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, (crispy!) bacon, avocado, and chipotle ailoi (which I subbed for mayo, personal preference). Sandwich was huge, had a great ratio of meat to toppings, and was delicious! Also so thick I could barely bite into it! Their fries came still hot and crispy, some of the best fries in the area, truly. Crispy without being super thin shoestring type, a fine line to walk! Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    The deliciousness
    Nina C.

    I ordered from this restaurant while working and I would like to start with the packaging quality. My entrée was wrapped in plastic, which was perfect because the food arrived hot as if it was fresh out the kitchen. Now, on to the food. The mashed potatoes are beyond amazing, the veggies were cooked perfectly, and the chicken was so flavorful that I forgot I had sauce to add on top. I need to emphasize how amazing the mashed potatoes were one more time. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to order again.

    Sweet potato fries
    Rebecca S.

    Grabbed Brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries for takeout for the road and honestly, some of the best Brussels I've had in a while! Brought them over to a friends house for dinner and everyone loved em. Delicious, great flavor and service was super quick. Will definitely stop by again

    Nachos w steak!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Bushwick. Their nachos are AMAZING. Portions are generous, ingredients are well ratio-ed. also recommend their burritos & leslie's burger!

    Sweet and Sour Hot Chicken Wings
    Chernel H.

    This place is in walking distance from our place so I figured to give it a day. Walked over a little before 7pm on a Friday night and was seated right away. We decided to try the sweet and sour chicken wings, carnitas burrito and chorizo Mac and cheese. Everything came quickly and pretty good. The servers are very attentive and nice. Would really recommend. Might try the brunch next time around!

My favorite dish here is probably the mussels, great flavor and would probably go well with a glass of wine! The first time I came I tried a cocktail which was very good but because the dishes are very flavorful it might have been too much sugar/salt. The portions here are huge as well so I think for the price its very worth it. It's a cute restaurant as well with open kitchen so great for a date if you're sitting at the bar or if you have a group the tables are pretty big as well. Overall, it's pretty spread out inside which I really appreciate and I have found that it's pretty easy to get a reservation last minute.

This place was the winner, and it was everyone's first time. We got in at our reserved time, and we had to wait about 5 minutes before our table was ready. Once it was, we were taken care of and quite frankly had no idea what treat we were in for! Let's start with the drinks. They have a drink on the menu called Celadon City. Who won the staff as a pokémaniac?! I had to get it just for the name. The rice vodka, yuzu, melon liqueur, and other flavors made it a fantastic, summery drink. My friends got the Smooth Landing & Smooth Talker ... One was a fantastic dirty martini and the other had the best bite of ginger. The food... Oh my God. We decided to split the breads and spreads and burrata... Each came with their housemade grilled focaccia, and the smoked paprika hummus and ricotta with chili honey? WHEW! The burrata dish with the sweet potato, pesto and tomato jam was a hit too. The menu didn't even say I'd have a balsamic drizzle on top! All of that was just the warm up... My gnocchi dish was spectacular. I'm not even a big mushroom person, but those oyster mushrooms and charred kale were a hit in the pasta. My friends' gigli pasta and mussels were great too. We ended up sharing a bottle of white wine as well, and the dinner was truly a 5/5. 0 I would absolutely go back, and it seems like their menu changes every now and then. I'm looking forward to the next time! Even if it's just for a cocktail.

The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious.

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

My favorites were the clams, the tuna, and the rice dish,all three were so simple but done really well. The tuna especially tasted incredibly fresh and balanced, and the clams had such a light, clean flavor that worked perfectly with the wine. You can tell this is one of those places focused on quality ingredients and a more understated approach to food rather than overly heavy flavors. Overall, really glad we went and it's definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you love sharing plates and trying a bunch of different dishes throughout the night.
