    Custard filled pastry
    Lucia D.

    Still a great experience. Thanks to a wonderful staff helping us create wonderful memories for my parents 60th and for my sister treating us all.

    Came here again this time for our parents 60th anniversary . Food tasted excellent very fast service . We ordered bronzino and lemon potatoes , lamb platter with salad and french fries and chicken salad sandwich and some appetizers all tasted great . Family friendly . Plenty of street parking , plenty of indoor seating .

    Chicken Souvlaki Sandwich
    Amy G.

    A relatively small restaurant with tight seating. The service could have been better, our waiter took his time with coming over. Didn't check to see if everything was good or if we needed anything else, we had to get his attention. I had the chicken sandwich which was tasty, but in no way a sandwich. It was a very small piece of pita with a big serving of chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & tzatziki sauce so you couldn't pick it up to eat like a sandwich. The food portion was good for the money though.

    Lamb Gyro Platter

    Went for an early New Year's Eve dinner with some friends last night. Everything was amazing from the food to the service. The garlic dip and the zucchini chips were delicious- but the octopus was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. For my entree, I had the lamb gyro platter with lemon potatoes. also delicious. The loukoumades with honey and cinnamon were the perfect dessert to end the meal. The waitstaff was top notch - friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. Will definitely be back!!

    Easily my favorite Greek spot in Brooklyn! Everything tastes homemade and authentically Greek. The kalamarakia, grape leaves, and feta with honey are perfect for sharing, and the salmon is unreal. Definitely a place you'll want to come back to again and again :)

    Grape Leaves
    Matthew S.

    Meze is a relic of the Greek restaurants that I have come to expect. A loud, friendly atmosphere, exceptional food, exorbitant portion sizes (and prices, but that is to be expected), and an overall positive well being threatening to destroy the balance between man and mind. The restaurant is about a ten minute walk from the 62nd Street/New Utrecht Ave subway station on the D and N lines, which is good because you will have to walk this off when you are finished. I ordered plenty of food here, and do not regret any of it. I am hoping to return again and get more, because it is all remarkable. My server, Emilio, is a true spark plug. He is full of energy and charisma. As I was winding down with my food, he was still at top speed and form. He was ready for me and anticipated my every move. Wanna know what I ordered? Grape leaves: Ten to an order, way too many to a fault, but I am not complaining. They were fresh, delicious, delicate, and well balanced. I also played these well with the free bread that comes with your table. A must for any large party. Greek sausage: When every table is ordering these, I have to as well. The sausage has great flavor, a perfect size for an appetizer. The dipping sauce is first rate, and I powered through these like a champ. A great complement to the grape leaves. The grape leaves even set these up pretty well. Grilled Octopus: My oh my, the octopus is outstanding. It is HUGE! I cut this up to make it more manageable and I still could not finish it. This is no laughing matter. I thought I would inhale this thing but instead this came back on the attack. Overall the octopus and I came to an agreement to leave some of it alone. Veal Youvetsi: It started out rough, but gained traction as the dish cooked. It was as if the dish was still cooking in its own sauce as I was eating it. The dish is served with crumbled cheese, but it needs a different kind of cheese. The orzo is a little overcooked but is still pretty tasty. The veal is a bit dry, but overall has a nice earthy texture and taste to the dish that feels heavy. This would be great in winter. The dish reminds me of an Ossobuco, with no marrow. I savored it all with a glass of Pinot Noir, which goes well with all the savory dishes due its subtle sweetness. When I was finished, I said to Emilio, "I think I did I good job considering the circumstances." "You did great," he responded. But I am not done. I figured to end on a high note and order a dessert. I got the loukoumádes, or honey balls, in Greek. Six to an order, they are super sweet, and super delicious. I only ate three because I would be in Maimonides Hospital if I ate them all. Perhaps it could have used a bit of pistachio topping to offset the sweetness a little, but I got an apple juice in hopes of mitigating things and it did just that. After that, I was finished. Sure, the bill is high, but I had to give this restaurant a fair shake; they gave me more than it's just due in return. I was treated not just as a customer, I was treated as family. That is what Greek restaurants are all about and what they should represent.

    Baked Clams
    Susan L.

    Came in here with a friend on a weekday. We got the Baked Clams, Steak, and the tzatziki with flatbread. My favorite were the baked clams! 4.5/5; it was easy to eat, very fresh, and delicious! Steak-3.5/5- it was a bit salty for our liking. Maybe I'll try another one next time! Tzatziki & flatbread-5/5! -This had to be my favorite dish because it was fresh and delish! Def cooked me down from the scorching heat outside! Overall, everyone was really nice! Lots of seating and would come back here to try their other foods! !

    3 For All Dip
    Sally l.

    The place was full of patrons on a Saturday evening around 6ish, though the was a wait, it was def worth it! The food was great and came in a timely fashion. The dips were a little on the salty side but the pita bread add up for it. Grilled octopus was cooked to perfection. We ordered too many apps and couldn't decide on main dish; will return to try the main dishes soon!

    Lamb Gyro Platter
    Michael K.

    Meze has been in my rotation for about 10 years and one of the gold standards for Greek cuisine. Go to has consistently been the lamb gyro plate (enough for 2) grilled octopus (consistently succulent and one of my all time favorites) and grilled chicken strips (surprisingly very taste given less fan fare and is complemented by a delicious Greek dressing). The restaurant itself is also very pleasant and decor provides a comforting Greek atmosphere. Quick service negates the frustrating parking situation but overall Meze continues to deliver 10 years after first visit and dozens of trips thereafter.

    This place is perfect. Ambiance is wonderful, service is exceptional. Have been coming here for years but haven't in the past year or so. I forgot how good it is. My go to are is the octopus and side dishes. Everything is homemade and fresh. You can taste it. They don't skimp on portions. We ordered to go but I love dining in. Reminds me of being in Greece.

    Crab cakes
    Kristin F.

    Visited Meze for the first time with my husband on a Saturday evening around 5:30pm. It wasn't very packed yet, only about 2 other tables at that time. We started out with some appetizers. We ordered the Garlic Dip and the Blue Claw Crab Cakes. The crab cakes were tasty with the side of sauces. For entrees, we ordered the Lamb gyro platter which came with fries, salad, pita and the tzatziki and a chicken gyro sandwich. The platter is a LOT of food so it was well worth the $22! We enjoyed all of the food and cannot wait to come back and try other menu items!

    Mena M.

    Loved the food at Meze recently. We're used to traveling all the way to Astoria for some Greek food but this spot is very comparable. The seafood is fresh and the chicken/lamb souvlaki is incredibly tasty. Highly recommend the grilled octopus. The portion sizes are very generous which is great for sharing. We did have a reservation as it can take a while to get seated but service was quick despite the place being packed.

    Grape Leaves

    A nice cozy neighborhood restaurant. I have been there a couple of times and every time I go, they don't disappoint me. We were starving after a yoga class near by. The foods were served promptly and perfectly cooked. Steak were nicely done. Only thing was Mediterranean style branzino fish was a little bland. Other than that, worth to check out this hidden gem.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear that Ren is leagues above any other restaurant we've visited. Calling Ren a restaurant feels almost like an understatement; it's a culinary journey. The menu is a testament to culinary artistry - each dish, from the appetizers through to the desserts, was a masterpiece. The flavors and textures were unique and memorable, with each bite cooked to absolute perfection. The service at Ren deserves its own accolade - it's a five-star experience in its own right. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive, enriching our evening with detailed descriptions of each dish. They didn't just serve food; they presented a story on a plate, explaining the intricate details of the ingredients, preparation, and the symphony of flavors to expect. The ambiance of Ren added to the magic of the evening. The decor was tasteful, the furniture and seating comfortable, creating an environment that was both elegant and inviting. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant. In conclusion, dining at Ren isn't just a meal; it's an immersive experience that tantalizes all the senses. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, what you receive is far more than just food - it's an evening of unforgettable culinary exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend Ren Restaurant for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience to extraordinary heights.

The menu also says it comes with house special dessert but we never gotten any. For any seafood, it's market price plus they add a 30% processing fee, which is strange to me. For a Chinese restaurant which usually does not charge tax if you pay with cash, they charge tax here whether you pay by card or cash. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious. They have pretty large tables, suitable for parties and celebrations. There's a private space upstairs with 3 large tables for parties. The restaurant is pretty slow in the afternoon.

I have walked past it many times and always assumed it was closed. Turns out they only serve dinner, which explains a lot. The dining room is small with just a handful of tables, so it is probably best to come early or make a reservation. The tight space and rustic interior give it a lot of charm. It almost feels like stepping into a place that has not changed in decades, which really adds to that old school Italian vibe. The service was incredible. The waiter, who might also be the owner, was so friendly and welcoming. He made the whole experience feel personal, like you were being hosted in someone's home rather than just eating at a restaurant. Since it was my birthday, we went a little overboard with the ordering. I had to pace myself because I honestly wanted to devour everything that came to the table. The portions are generous and every dish we tried was great. The mozzarella in carozza was easily one of the most indulgent things I have ever eaten. It was rich, crispy, cheesy, and completely over the top in the best way. I thought that would be the highlight until the stuffed artichoke arrived. The stuffing was incredible and packed with flavor. I only wish the artichoke itself had a bit more flesh, but I would still order it again without hesitation! The entrees were just as satisfying. The chicken parm was excellent, but by that point we had already gone too hard on the appetizers, so most of the mains ended up coming home with us. Even though we were all stuffed, I made sure to save room for dessert. The ricotta cheesecake was absolutely worth it! It had subtle hints of lemon and the texture was light and creamy. I will probably be thinking about that cheesecake for a while. Overall, Ortobello checked every box. The atmosphere, the food, and the hospitality were all fantastic. I will definitely be back!!!
