This place is teeeeeny tiny and I've seen it super packed when they do a live music night. But I showed up on an off night and it was pretty chill. I had to order the Misir Wat which came out on bread -- a little more tomato-esque(?) than I'm used to but still delicious. The elk salami and the seasonal alpine cheese were also standouts, served with generous portions of walnut-cranberry, and olive breads. And the Tej! Amazing! Lovely! I always enjoy trying Tej because it's different everywhere you go. This one is particularly sweet and mellow in a great way -- not sugary but akin to a nice Riesling. The prices are fairly reasonable as well, you can get out of here for under $40 for two if you're just doing drinks and one snack. Can't wait to come back and try more things!

Everything was truly delicious. We went to enjoy their lunch menu. What a treat. The chef is…read morebringing fresh combinations of great flavors to a mostly seafood/vegetable forward menu. We started with two perfect oysters which had ikura, ramps, Thai chili oil and coriander flowers. Then sugar snap peas cooked perfectly with a hint of sesame - oil some special kind. But the superstar starter was the leek custard, with a mound of Osetra caviar atop a little dot of wasabi sprinkled with Alyssum flowers. $55 but worth it! Then we moved on to the seafood risotto which was the most toothsome risotto made with Japanese rice - seafood broth - and a mound of fresh red shrimp, razor clams, scallops hint of chili and a bit of mint. Perfection The charred white asparagus with sable fish with Shiro miso and green garlic was a complete surprise - delicious. Another superstar was the soft egg sitting in a sea of blue crab meat - in a brown butter garam salt bath. Served with a crusty baguette that we used to lap up all the amazingly tasty sauce. Unique - unsurpassed in flavor. We ending the savory courses with a lovely steelhead trout surrounded by thinly sliced fresh asparagus and fava beans with this basil and almond. Despite eating every last drop we made room for strawberry rhubarb pavlova. So well prepared. Little bits of crunchy raw rhubarb and nuts added a nice contrast to this often soft dessert. The wines are incredible and we had a Portuguese blend with a Cortes to cema (sp?) Service was beyond excellent. Friendly professional and even fun. Wine knowledge is first class. Hip and cool. The room is small. Getting a reservation is better than winning the lottery but just as challenging ! We love this place!

The atmosphere was super intimate and cozy, and the service was paced really well throughout the night. Some of the dishes definitely could've had a little more flavor or seasoning, especially compared to how hyped up the restaurant is, but there were still a few standout plates that made the meal memorable. 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.

When I…read morefound myself galavanting in Bushwick on arguably the coldest day of the year, Ten Bells popped up as a natural haven where I unwrapped myself and indulged in my favorite food of the season. Right off the bat, the bar area is absolutely gorgeous and meets you with so much warmth, light and joy as soon as you walk in to this establishment. I plopped myself on the bar and had the pleasure of making conversation with Elouise and Alejandra. They put in my standard two dozen oyster order and paired my platter with a glass of the happy hour white wine which happens to be their house chardonnay. The oysters were delicious although I must say there was a lot of shell pieces inside, which was very annoying to eat. I don't think this is necessarily the fault of whoever is shucking them. I noticed the oysters they serve have a lot of thin slivers of shell on the edges which are bound to end up in your mouth. Perhaps they can try serving another variety of oysters? Just a thought. The chardonnay was pretty good and service was amazing. The girls at the bar also let me try the Ten Bells red wine which is produced specially for them in Boudreaux, France. It was a beautiful, light, and smooth red blend. As a wine lover, I will definitely be back to try more of their wines on tap. This is a great neighborhood establishment that I feel everyone should pop in and visit!!

Wow......so many levels to this - really too much for a Yelp review ...... for starters, there are…read morealmost no bars or pubs open at lunch that serve food anymore anywhere around here - & when I say anywhere, I mean like all the way from Bushwick (including Bushwick), south through Bed Stuy, down through Flatbush, until you hit Marine Park / S Midwood. (Captain Dan's in Bed Stuy is an exception - so it's almost none - not zero - but close). So - they get 5 stars, simply for being open at lunch, & having both Guinness, & a traditional, imported, fresh European pils on tap (Peroni), & lunch food. There was also a 3rd draught (of course it was an IPA). The Peroni was cold, fresh, crisp, & delicious on a 90+ / real feel 100+ deg July day. It's clean inside & the staff is friendly, attentive, & courteous. That all being said - it's clear from the clientele, that in order to be open @ lunch, & to provide the public service of both freshly cooked food & natural beer, they mainly act as a cafe during the day, & then turn into a "cocktail bar" in the evening. By cafe, I mean - almost every table is taken by individuals only, (all - every single one) on their laptops. Not like a cafe where people are reading newspapers & having conversations. Very quiet ambient music plays so as not to disturb the people "working". The bar area itself is also mostly full of people staring at their laptops. This is some real post-apocalyptic vibes. There was also a guy pacing back & forth out front yelling large #'s & corporate gibber-speak into his phone as well. Everything about this place is a magnified caricature of gentrification. No one seems to want to go to a pub at lunch anymore, but everyone seems to want to park at a cafe the entire day & "work" on their laptop. I have an idea - what about "working" on your computer at home, then going to a local pub for lunch & a drink, & then going back to work, & sparing everyone your zombification & inane work convo's ?! This is obv unpopular, as no one does this, & almost all the pubs are gone, & all we have are 10,000 coffee shops. Are people really just eating a croissant for lunch ?! Note: the food here is above average, small portions, & pricey - but not any moreso than similar places. I know they do not want to be judged as bar during the day - but as a cafe during the day that happens to have drinks. But still - ugh!

Excellent prices even for protein plates made us think they would be much smaller sizes. Service was excellent and quick. The only thing I would change was with this being a fusion restaurant the croquetas weren't the typical style I like for tapas, but if you like a drier crunchier potato style you might like them. The Paloma drink was delicious and they were able to add a Tajin rim that I asked for so make sure to ask because they have it just not on the menu! The melted candle decor added a romantic ambiance feel to the overall setting that made for a great date night!

They do a great steak frites & fried chicken sando that I shared w/ three other people. It was great getting to taste everything. They had the orange wine which they loved. I ordered a gimlet, it wasn't the best. That's what happens when your at a wine bar. However, I will not be giving this spot up just b/c of that. I may have been an off night for the bartender. We'll see next time.

When we came in, it was like stepping into a new time period. The vibes were dark, cozy, and pretty close to my imagination of what a bar in a pirate ship would be like. As the night went on, the crowd grew as they were drawn in by the live jazz band playing. The menu was extensive with so many types of interesting cocktails to select at $15 per drink. I enjoyed the Gouldian Finch (I liked it so much I ordered it again) and the Damsel in Distress.  Highly recommend if you're in the area and if you're in the mood for good drinks with great company, great staff and a great live jazz band.

I certainly wish a younger sect will discover this place and respect it enough to want to see it remain forever. Now, I do wish they'd bring someone on to introduce some classic cocktails and how to execute them. Some of the ingredients they use for cocktails have fallen out of favor long ago.
