They have so many spritzes and some very unique martinis. I think we had a sardine martini, or maybe it was anchovy. Regardless it had brine and was fun. I'd like to come back and dine inside.

I went to Binc during a recent visit to Brooklyn on a Friday night. I've been here before and LOVED…read moreit. This time.... Not so much. Let's start with the food. I got a burrata salad and the tuna poke. Both were delicious, very cool and refreshing. The problem was with the service. Our table ordered coca colas as we had friends coming to meet us there for cocktails after. Our waiter seemed annoyed, as if the check would not be large enough because we were drinking sodas. As a result his tip would be smaller as it was a smaller check. I hated this so much. I worked in the service industry and treated my tables with smaller tabs the exact same as tables with larger tabs. He never came to clear our plates. We sat there for over 30 minutes with dirty dishes piled in front of us while we waited for our other friends to arrive. When they came in, they were treated to a table full of dirty dishes. It was such a put off and our waiter was just RUDE. There was no excuse for this. When we ordered ONE round of drinks, this server NEVER came to check on us or asked if we wanted another. The bad service was inexcusable and I will not be back on my next visit to Brooklyn.

I am ashamed to say that it took me way too long to try this place. Our neighborhood friends…read morespoke highly of it so we finally stopped in on a Friday night. We booked outside but there was an impending rain storm coming. It did start to rain and we were able to sit under an awning. We tried to sit inside but unfortunately there were no seats for an early Friday night (glad to see it honestly). Lemon mussels were awesome. Pork Milanese with a Thai herb salad was delicious and mushroom toast was hearty and warm for fall / cool nights. The staff were professional and pleasant. Honestly next time I would love to come sit at the bar and have a bud heavy.

I didn't go in with high expectations, but it totally blew me away…read more Went for brunch. Reservations are recommended as it's popular. Only downside is the popular focaccia is not available for brunch Best items - eggs fra diavolo- messy dish but so well done.

So many different flavors, but they all balanced so well. - biscuit-it's huge and they turn they churn their own butter The sourdough cinnamon bun was good but chewy

Food pulls inspiration from the European Western Mediterranean, leaning more from France. And while…read moreportions lean more on the smaller side, the quality ensures the value of the dishes are reasonable. The mushroom pasta dish blew us away, and the tilefish was also good. Desserts that we tried were both the choux and the tart - and both of which were satisfying and were not cloyingly sweet which came to us as a surprise. Service was impeccable here - informative and supportive. Ambience was rustic low-key, moody with a casual ease - and yet still gives a touch of high-end class. Somehow it evokes the perfect Brooklyn charm while it's nestled underneath a brownstone. Candle-lit tables abound - with the back part of the restaurant feeling more elegant with a distinct rustic French countryside vibe. The front and bar area is a bit more modern. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn. Will return.

Natty wine bar with good small plates. Finally made it out to try PDF…read more Menu is comprised mostly of small plates and some larger format mains. Seasonal menu. Great wine list. Mussels were good though quite heavy. Very heavy umami flavor. Sourdough was good. The tomatoes with fresh cheese was a good summer dish, especially with the pops of fresh corn. The snap peas were good though a bit forgettable. The chicken was good. Very tender and tasty. Overall, the food was good, though deceivingly heavy for small plates. Service was good. The ambiance was nice, though the AC definitely did not cut it for that hot summer day. Much better resto for a small group of friends I'd say vs just two people. Get a few bottles of natty wine and that's a good day

I didn't catch the chefs names but they were super friendly and talked through each item that they brought out. The restaurant itself is super small, all seats are at a big bar that spans the whole restaurant. All items on the tasting menu are pictured and attached to this review. It's hard to pick a favorite but the aji Amarillo dish was awesome (not on the regular menu), and the seared scallops (also on the regular menu) were incredible. The PB&J with foie gras ganache was super interesting and intensely flavorful (also on the regular menu) One note - the online menu shows 120 for the tasting menu but it is currently 135. Still worth it!

With the voucher you had an option of 6pm or 8pm and we decided to go for a 6pm slot. When we arrived we were the only ones there, and this remained the case until about 8pm, so the atmosphere was lacking and it all felt a little sterile. The space itself is unique, with you seated around a small kitchen watching the 2 chefs prepare everything. We didn't have that much interaction with the chefs but our server was great and very personable. The 8 courses we had comprised of the following (I didn't catch the official dessert names so these are just my descriptions): Oyster with apple and jalapeño and shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce Fluke Ceviche Scallop with cauliflower Bluefin Tuna Shisito pepper, parsnip foam and fermented tomatoes Wagyu Beef Foie Gras and Peanut Butter (PB & J) Deconstructed peach cheesecake Chocolate "Oreo's" All of the food was good, with the exception of the tuna (which was underwhelming because of the tuna itself) and the Wagyu (because my wagyu was so fatty). The thing that really shines at Pearl Street are the sauces, every single one that we had was delicious and really elevated the dishes. Even the dishes which were underwhelming because of the main component you still enjoyed because the accompanying sauce was so flavourful. One thing I would just highlight is that there is no bathroom in the restaurant itself, you have to take a keycard and walk outside to alter neighbouring building. Not really a big deal but just something to be aware of. All in all we enjoyed our meal at Pearl Street but I am not sure I would revisit and pay the full menu price. On a Pulsd deal though it is great value and I would highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

I've only really tried dirty martinis before but this one converted me and now I just want the classic! We also got an order of their parmesan truffle fries and they were delish. A thinner cut fry style but still had some crispiness to it. The truffle flavor wasn't overwhelming either. Mostly indoor seating but they do have a small outdoor patio that can fit smaller groups.
