Smooth easy calm night - best server EVER, makes u fee right at home chillest vibe ever

Yes this is top tier food and I will recommend it to anyone who has a taste in food it is good flavorful and tasty

Whenever I suggest to my wife that we go to Mayfield, she never says "no, let's go somewhere else tonight." It may be the only restaurant I could say that about, and that makes sense -- whatever you're feeling like eating, they probably do it, and do it well. At dinner, we almost always have the kale salad to start. If we're being honest, it's half ricotta salata, but that's no complaint -- it's a damn good kale salad. For entrees, you can fill up for relatively cheap on any of the delicious sandwiches (the cuban or the fried chicken, especially) or the burgers (bleu cheese and bacon for my wife, whereas I usually lean patty melt -- it's a damn good patty melt). Always, always opt for the fries -- they come in a full mountain, and they are among the best I've had (skinny but not shoestring, crispy but not burned, extra salty). From the actual entrees, Mayfield surprisingly turns out really good pasta (especially the gnocchi, though the serving is small), and the pork chop is killer. My wife loves the fried quail, and I admit to stealing the spoon bread, but I think the quail itself is always a bit too small and often a bit too burnt. (Brunch is A+ too -- the corned beef tongue hash is my go-to, but a lot of the sandwiches are the same as the ones on the dinner menu, so you're set there as well.) Cocktails are outstanding, though they're too pricy at $14. The beer selection is very good, though, and a bit more reasonable at $6-7. Try to save room for dessert, because there are usually a few tempting options. Service is usually very friendly, though it can be slow. Use Resy for your reservations -- there can be a bit of a wait if you show up unprepared. read more

Mayfield is a cool spot to go for Saturday or Sunday brunch. Make sure you check the menu and ensure you are ordering from the brunch menu and not the dinner menu as I was surprised that when I looked at the menu in advance there were several items I could not order because they were exclusively for dinner only. I enjoyed my patty melt however, I will ask for the burger to be done medium in the future. Fries and the patty melt were decent however friends had fish and chips and various different wines about three rounds and all enjoyed their food and drink. Get the kale salad it was banging! read more

This is a classy spot. Located in crown heights, Brooklyn, Mayfield offers a hip brunch menu with some excellent drinks. We came on a Saturday afternoon and were promptly seated. The restaurant has a good volume for conversation without it being overwhelmingly loud. The brunch is a pretty standard affair. eggs, bacon, french toast etc... They have a bit of a southern comfort vibe with shrimp and grits. Staff is friendly and the environment/ decor is on point. The cost is a bit on the higher end for brunches but taking everything else into account, it is worth the experience. My french toast came out a little overdone with a bit more char than I would expect but that's a preference thing and some do like it this way. Everything else was cooked well and came out in a timely fashion. Overall, I'd be back for drinks or to try a couple other items. Great experience but not the best brunch spot i've had. Mayfield does have a lot of things going for it in the right direction. read more

The neph and I were there for dinner this evening and we weren't disappointed. The gentleman at the entrance asked if we had a reservation but we didn't.... I thought we'd be turned away but he just smiled and said "follow me!" Whew, what a relief! Service was great, food was delish, ambiance was superb... what is there to critic? We left very happy and stuffed! Will defo come back again! The lady server was oh-so-sweet too! We just didn't catch her name! read more

Love the food but it is so noisy there it is hard to hear your dinner companion. Food is fantastic though!

I had very high expectations, and maybe I didn't order the right thing, but Mayfield unfortunately did not meet them. I got the fried quail which comes with spoon bread and collard greens. The quail had a great breading however it was a very small portion for a $20 price point. It was served with ranch and honey which although good really weren't anything too special. The quail also had a lot of bones in it so it was rather difficult to eat. The spoon bread it came with, which to me tasted like a rich cornbread, was light and fluffy but again came in a tiny portion. The best part of the dish was probably the collard greens which were well cooked and came in a salty sauce. My date got the whole trout which was actually phenomenal; so flaky and flavorful, I kind've wish I had what he ate. My date and I also indulged in dessert and got the brownie sandwich which comes with mint ice cream and whipped cream. The brownie was not freshly baked and actually tasted like something that could come out of a package. I honestly expected much better. Will have to give these guys another chance sometime around as there were some good flavors in this meal but overall, I was a little disappointed. read more

Was squeezed into a last minute reservation here which was so nice and accommodating- the staff was so friendly and the ambiance is cozy and warm. The steak tartare and the mushroom ravioli appetizers were phenomenal. The smoked pork ribs entree was on the tough side for sure - not tender at all which was a bit of a disappointment. read more

The service here is really friendly. Food is tasty (I got an eggplant sandwich and my sister got the kale salad). The Bellini is also delicious! I would go back here read more

Came to Mayfield for my Birthday because I heard they have a really good crudo. Sadly it was no longer on the menu but I still had a great time. The whole restaurant is has a very warm feel from the dim lights natural wood tables and exposed brick. It feels very much like a contemporary romantic America Restaurant. And thats what it is. I really liked the menu even though because of dietary restrictions to nuts and pork about half the menu was off limits for me. The kitchen would have been happy to make changes but sometimes substitutions change the whole dynamic of a dish. I ended up having the fried oysters to start which were the best I have ever have. Other restaurants fried oysters are sometimes still slimy but these were crunchy and served with smoked salmon over some kind of slaw. For an entree I had the trout which was honestly pretty disappointing. They de-boned it like experts but the flavor was a bit on dimensional. It was salty and between the pan searing and the fried fingerling potatoes it was a bit oily. I wish there was a fresh or vegetable component added to the dish. That would have taken it up a notch for me. All in all it was still a nice dinner and the service and drinks were spectacular. I will definitely be back especially when the crudo is back on the menu. read more

Mayfield - Grits with Shrimp And Grits - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I stopped in this spot randomly wanting to grab an early dinner and was pleasantly surprised with how cute it was! We ended up sitting inside which had a cute industrial style to it which i loved but the backyard was so cute. Next time I go and it's nice out, will definitely try to sit there. Service was great and the staff was really helpful and friendly. Our food was amazing and sooo flavorful. The mushroom ravioli is a must have and the whole trout was great too. I was a bit disappointed with the cocktails we ordered so I probably would keep it simple and get wine or something. read more

I just literally left this establishment... It used to be a staple for me not anymore ... I understand it's COVIDS and service can be kind of slow ... I waited at the entrance for 5 minutes to be seated then waited another 15 minutes for my order to be taken ... I seen all the servers attend to other patrons before me (mind you I'm a party of one) ... They ran out of oysters smh ... I've waisted my time .... read more

Feel like the food has been upgraded recently. Really impressed with the shrimp and grits. The grits are impeccable; they are decadent, creamy, just perfect. The shrimp were cooked well, and unlike typIcal shrimp and grits it isn't Cajun. I also had the lox served with toasted and fluffy everything bagel, cream cheese, lox, onion, tomato, and capers. The only real downside is the waitstaff is continuously not the friendliest, not mean necessarily, just collectively not warm. read more

First time customer: I went for the menu but will be returning because of staff, but mainly the food as well. We eat from the brunch menu. I did the steak & eggs . The meat was perfectly cooked to the temperature I ordered and those home fries! Some other ordered were the egg, cheese & sausage sand. And the eggs Benedict both delicious! A must visit for sure. Oh and really good bloody Mary's! read more

I've went a while back & it was far better. Their menu has shrunk drastically and the most basic of bar staples they don't provide. That'll be our last time read more

The French toast was so amazing! The omelette was good but the French toast definitely made the meal. They always poured a great mimosa with a perfect balance, just a splash of OJ. Definitely recommend for a lowkey vibe with nice rustic feel on the inside! read more

Our first time dining indoors since COVID. They definitely seemed to be doing things the right way. As a heads up we had to fill out a form with our name, address, and number which is no way a turn off but something we felt like people would want to know. Jus: I chose the chicken sandwich due to the recommendation by our waitress who was very accommodating because I asked a couple of questions. She told me the chicken sandwich was a good size and boy was she right. I like to consider myself a big eater and I could only eat half the sandwich but then again maybe that's because the French toast was so filling. Last but not least I have to throw a shout out to the fries that were cooked perfectly and paired with a Siracha aioli that was to die for. Krys: I got a burger with add-ons of cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and a fried egg. I was extremely pleased by the flavor and build of it . We also got the French toast which was a good size portion and was warmly topped off with some sweet warm apples-- the best part of the meal for me! read more

I was finally able to make it here after having this spot bookmarked for a few months. Mayfield is a little inconspicuous because it's just a "M" outside. Parking is street parking no parking lot. Inside there's a lot of space. However the chairs, mostly bar stools at tables aren't comfortable . As far as the food I ordered a Patty melt and my dinner guest ordered fish and chips. The fish was okay nothing that go out of the way for. They gave 3 pieces and an ample amount of fries. It was about $15-17. The patty melt came with grilled onions cheese and a beef burger patty and fries. Since the onions wasn't listed I requested one with without them. However the second batch was over cooked and burnt. At this point it was an L, a loss for me. The service was okay, but I just never felt that I had one waitress after she disappeared for a few left long minutes right around the time I needed to get my order fixed. The ambience is cool I just wish at best I could have been told how they cooked the meat and they need comfortable chairs. For the price I paid paid which was about $15. read more

Nice, welcoming restaurant that serves wonderful food, prepared with care and great attention to ingredients. Great place for a low key date, to catch up with friends or family, or even to just catch a game at the bar[1] while having a beet and eating oysters. The people behind this restaurant are clearly ambitious: they put a lot of passion and thinking in bringing their idea to life, and in my view it paid off. You would have a hard time finding a fault in their execution. Named after singer Curtis Mayfield, the ambiance is certainly soulful, with exposed bricks, rustic wood floors, expandable wooden high-top tables, and Guastavino-like tile work on the open kitchen. Or the use of the power cords on the ceiling as a decorative geometric pattern. The feel is at the same time casual and sexy. The menu, divided between raw bar, veg, seafood, meat, sandwiches, entrees, and sides, is not going to win praise for originality; in the end, this is still mainly comfort food that should please everybody. However, things are kept interesting by a menu that rotates around seasonal ingredients. And certain dishes are actually surprising. Their take on fried chicken and collards, for example, features a buttermilk fried quail ($20). They make their own corned beef tongue, served with kraut and creamy grain mustard ($10). The roasted Brussels sprouts dish features Dante: an aged sheep's milk cheese from Wisconsin. The best dishes I've tried so far include: - Nantucket Bay scallops with smoked salmon and caviar cream over a Johnny cake ($16; a seasonal dish). Delicate and tasty. - The Berkshire pork chop saltimbocca[2] with caramelized onion farro and grilled radicchio ($22). A well executed porkchop: charred on the outside, nice and juicy on the inside. Also, I love radicchio! - Roasted Brussels sprouts with squash and picked mustard seeds ($10). As tasty and gratifying as it sounds. - Fried clam bellies with tartar and cocktail sauces ($13). Crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. Best late night dish I've had in months! For dessert, the apple upsidedown cake with ice cream and caramel ($6) is simple and tasty; enjoy it with a glass of Applejack from Laird & Co, as our bartender suggested. Cheese cake with graham cracker crumbles, pomegranate, and fig sauce was as surprisingly light as it was flavorful ($6). If there are a couple of things where Mayfiled can improve would be a more substantial list of beers on draft, and a bread basket. A good bread basket can go a long way in setting the mood of the table. Mayfield also features a really nice oyster happy hour: $1 Malpeque every day (weekend included!) 5-6:30pm. And they have some interesting (and affordable!) cocktails; my favorite being the Lord Byron[3]. ------------------------------------------------- [1] The TV is kept on mute, luckily. [2] This dish was a big surprise to me, since saltimbocca in Italian is a completely different dish: veal, prosciutto or ham, and sage, rolled-up and pan-seared. [3] Aptly described by the bartender as "A Negroni on steroids". read more

Seeing all the reviews about "good service" make me hope that my experience today at Mayfield was an anomaly. 2.5/5 rounded to three because food is amazing. Let's get the good out of the way. The food is no doubt excellent. Came for my birthday brunch with friends. Burger with bacon, egg, and caramelized onions is the best burger I've had in Brooklyn. It's not even close, but service ruined it all. First, upon arriving to a place that serves BRUNCH, we tried to open the door at 10:50AM on a cold fall day. Getting yelled at about the opening time by the lady who greeted us at the door was an unpleasant way for us to start our outing. Why was this approach ever appropriate for people who work in a hospitality industry? No matter, we were still stoked to be there and hey, it's New York so we have a tolerance for this stuff. Second, at a BRUNCH place, I made the mistake of ordering iced coffee. Waitress checked to see if they had if they had it. She claimed they did not so she brought me hot coffee. Fine. I don't love hot coffee with food, so I asked for a glass of ice. The waitress then shot a glance at me, scoffs, and somebody else returns by plopping down a shaker glass with a few ice cubes in it. This could have been handled so much better. This is not an odd request. Finally, a friend of mine at the brunch called ahead of time to see if she could bring a cake for candles and if they could slice etc. On the phone, they said fine and no charge. Great! A different story when we showed up and they said it would be a $5 PER PERSON charge to slice the cake. Cool thing was that it was the same guy who told both stories to my friend. Just be up front next time. We planned around this and my friend carried a cake with her for several blocks in the cold for the occasion. Altogether the vibes from service really dampened what was supposed to be a nice morning with my friends for my birthday. Hopefully service is improved on my next visit. read more

Went here for brunch, I had the salmon lox and my friend had the French toast. Both were good choices!

Always a go-to in this neighborhood, Mayfield didn't disappoint during the pandemic. Their safely distanced outdoor seating, and menu specials have kept this place on our top list for lunch or dinner. read more

A staple in my neighborhood; I always bring visiting friends here for brunch or a little happy hour. The food never disappoints and the service is top tier! read more

This was our favorite restaurant in our old hood of Crown Heights and it was also where we had our last meal out before moving to Manhattan! There are some staples and some Entrees change every so often. Our go-to's (also for many other people's) appetizers are Mushroom Ravioli, Sweet & Spicy Brussel Sprouts and Steak Tartare. Simply amazing! My toddler would enjoy eating it too, he has expensive taste! Often, we'd go early for Happy Hour for the Buck a Shuck aka $1 oysters. For mains, the sandwiches are pretty good, large portions with crispy thick fries. Fish and chips and the Cacio e Pepe (any pasta dish really!) are great! The cocktails are delicious too! With Covid, we dined outdoors, the tables had little heaters to keep us warm but bring a jacket because it still cold this time of year! Go forth and eat! read more

Perfect intimate patio! The food portions are plentiful & prices just right. There's hand sanitizer stations & the staff are nice & accommodating. I will most definitely return! read more

Mayfield's customer service was excellent the first time I visited. I like that their oysters are $1 each and are so good (if you're into that kind of thing). Their atmosphere is pretty romantic if you're looking to have dinner there and the poutine was also really good. Can't wait to go back! They're taking great precautions with the pandemic. read more

I ate here on Monday and I was very sad... My fries were over cooked... I got the fried chicken sandwich the bread was burned a bit too much for my liking and the chicken was minuscule. Wendy's has bigger chicken sandwiches. For as much as this sandwich was I had higher expectations. Also my friend recommended the place which also gave me high expectations. Can't say I'll be rushing back to give it another go any time soon. The customer service was great though!!! read more

Brunch here is always an adventure. Great staff and delicious food! Can't go wrong. Taking every precaution to make us feel safe and somewhat normal. read more

Mayfield - French toast - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

French presentation, Southern inspired- value priced. An extraordinary meal was had at Mayfield. Happy Hour- dollar oysters- I got six. Malbecs- yum. Ate: Trout with fingerlings and Bernaise sauce- $18 Pineapple/ upside down cake with rum/caramel sauce $6 I asked for bread and they gave tasty toast points. The whole trout was was simply fresh, beautifully presented, executed and delicious. I asked for chocolate ice-cream with my dessert & it was stellar- one of the best tasting desserts since the James Beard awards. This amazing dessert with it's caramalized fresh pineapples was $6- amaze! Franklin Ave. is the epicenter of cool with many good spots, but Mayfields is impressive! It is not that Mayfield is too good for Franklin as some mentioned, it is that Mayfield could thrive in many locales- it would work in many other foodcentric 'hoods in Downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan- they hit the mark and then some! read more

Mayfield - Pineapple upside down cake with dark choc. ice-cream - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Used to be a nice neighborhood spot. I supported this place for 12 years but when in the middle of enjoying a meal waitress came out to tell me about a two hour time limit on table. 1 1/2 hours after I'd arrived (during which time I'd ordered 150 dollars worth of food/drink -on a Tuesday). Place was pretty empty and no one waiting. Wth. So unnecessary, especially since we most likely would have been out within that half hour time frame. Noticed the wonder and called him over just to ask why that was done. The owner was defensive when I asked if he'd asked her to say this, and why because it had felt very awkward and. Unnecessary considering how slow the place was, and when I stopped himto say I said what I felt I don't really want an explanation (more an acknowledgment or even apology) he said I'll get the check. Then comes back to say he was going to apologize but that I cut him off. lol. So twice you say it's me and never do actually apologize. This is my last time here which is a shame because I've been coming here for over 12 years and recommended it often. read more

Burger & fries are dreamy - simple burger w/ perfect fries! Restaurant/bar is just buzzy enough for some quality people watching and the service is on point legit!
