Hmm where should I begin... I wish I could give a minus rating on this place based on my recent experience for a dinner. 1. Inside was well decorated and pleasant however all the tables are connected no space at all in between. Very claustrophobic seating arrangement 2. The service was the WORST restaurant service I ever had. This place does not know what customer service is. With a reservation,We were seated within 10 mins -positive - and all went down hill from there 3. Tuna tartar was so fishy that it smelled like old and rotten fish market. How dare they bring this out and place this in front of a customer ??? 3. Our main dish for one person on the table arrived, and another full hoot goes by no other main dish. The waiter never comes by to at least give an update or water. All while he served multiple parties arriving after us and these table are done and paying their bills while I still wait for half our table to have their food. Finally when other tables leaves and half of our table get the food he doesn't even apologize or anything just hastily drops the plates and leaves!! Is it because we did not order alcoholic drinks?? The agony of sitting there for 1.5 hrs and not a single ask if we need anything. 4. The food: oh my god!! Fast food restaurant serve better quality meat than this place. I suspected this when I saw a French looking place in that location. This place don't know a thing about food, forget what French food is. They are a rip off with a French name and decor selling discounted meat and fish from keyfood. If you had real food you will know what they are selling. read more

Had the pancake there was no strawberry butter. Because it was President's day, happy hr wasn't in effect. They hand nothin but drip coffee. Felt like they needed to go grocery shopping. read more

I love this place. The food is excellent. But recently they've started charging a credit card fee. Looks like I was still charged even though I paid cash. read more

Mominette - Pay attention when paying. I paid cash and it looks like they still charged the credit card fee - French Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Had inside word that the Kurds would be shunted, just from the traffic I was getting and the asks to ship to Northern S. So when I got a call to meet some key regional procurement people in the region, where else to go than a hipster Bushwick place. With my back to the wall and my crew watching the front, we met. Felt like we were at a Parisienne Bistro after the PAS (Paris Air Show). Creative avocado like apps, a zesty pesty pesto pasta for my Kurd Konnections and a wonderful time had by all. Oh and the cute bartender either liked me a lot or was consistently trying to make sense of the headbands. read more

Not sure why the hype for this place is still running...although once they got rid of bottomless mimosas I can tell the quality of service has been poor. The wait staff smelled like they hadn't showered or brushed their teeth in over three weeks. The fried chicken I had with a waffle as disgusting as the meat was undercooked. The waffle was below par. I would recommend Julia's instead. read more

It's very difficult to make a good hollandaise sauce, so I can't really blame Mominette for not pulling through. It was a bit watery and not as creamy as a good hollandaise should be. I got the eggs florentine and it was perfectly cooked. I'm not sure I would mix cooked spinach with a fresh salad, but I'm happy about having a lot of veggies regardless. The cocktails were fantastic. We were here for brunch. I had the Bloody Maria and I want another one right now. The service here was impeccable. The bartender and waiter were both so considerate and continued checking in with us about the status of our table until we were seated. We barely waited long at all, but we appreciated their service so much regardless. Our food came out quickly and so did our check. I really liked this place and I'll definitely be back again. read more

Stopped in while visiting my sons in Queens. We had the eggs Florentine and salmon Benedict. Both were delicious. Cold brew was an added bonus. The service was excellent. read more

Quirky place with good cocktails! I certainly do enjoy there happy hours sitting outside in there magical garden and white pebbled floors. Mac and cheese is great. Clams with tomato sauce is bomb, especially dipped in there amazing bread. People here are nice, I certainly do enjoy this place and would defintely come back! read more

The food was lackluster and gave some of the people in our party a stomachache. The staff treated it like a burden to seat us. The quality of the food is definitely not worth the prices. Not to mention that the waiter's glove had a hole in it. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing! We started with the French Toast, which surprisingly had fresh fruit and a hint of mint leaf. I then had the Steak and Egg (Medium) paired with homefries & macNcheese. We also had the Chicken & Kale paired again with you guess it another MacNCheese. I will be returning to sample the rest of the menu. Amazing! Isreal Mr.A-List Hagan *Checking in to Yelp merited us a complimentary side order ;) read more

Love everything about this restaurant plus the oysters and the ambience plus it's close to us.

Chose this place for Valentine's day with my wife and we weren't disappointed! We ordered some oysters that were great, and the escargot was delicious. For dinner my wife got the salmon, and I got the steak frites. I think the steak could have been seasoned more, but besides that it was perfectly cooked. We sat at the bar, and our food took a minute to come out and as an apology they gave us a round of free shots which was very considerate and much appreciated. Overall cannot wait to go back and try their brunch. Definitely recommend this place- you won't quite feel like you're in Paris, but its close enough for a night out in Bushwick read more

The lighting is warm and inviting. I like to sit at the bustling bar when it's crowded and the patio when it's not. You can't go wrong with the mussels and the wine is affordable. Good happy hour as well. read more

Came here for NYE. It was fantastic. Food, drink, service, atmosphere was on point. It was a good choice. Very very happy. Thank you Mominette and keep rocking read more

Amazing outdoor atmosphere in the back. Went for our three year anniversary and my partner ended up having the cat sit on his lap sleeping the entire time. I think we all fell in love that night. read more

I am impressed, Mominette was epic. Despite the location, the rates weren't outrageous. I can not recommend Duck Confit more. I believe every one will enjoy this heavenly food. The service was also fantastic and everybody was friendly. All together I give Mominette a 10/10, highly recommend. read more

Delicious brunch but the wait time is atrocious. I signed up on the waitlist and waited another 20 mins before I was seated even though I was 1st in line. However, the food made up for the long wait time. We had the chicken and waffles, croque madam, Mominette burger and a their veggie burger. The hibiscus lemonade was delicious and refreshing. If you're in a big group make sure you get their mimosa pitcher, it's not too strong but definitely gets you tipsy. The sides we ordered were home fries and bacon, I don't know what spices they used for the home fries but they were so good I wanted to order another side! Our waiter took our orders quickly and the food came promptly! The food here definitely is not only good but makes a great instagram spread :) read more

Went there for the second time last night (Friday) to celebrate and am so happy I came back! It really is a lovely place. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is one of warmth and comfort. I definitely recommend it! read more

Service was bad. Beef tartare tasted nasty. Oysters were okay though. I wouldn't come back.

Just had brunch here. Located a few blocks from the Jefferson L-train. French-wannabe vibes, but it's cool, I can dig it. The garden out back is prime real estate, so if you want to sit back there, plan on waiting. We ordered: +The French Toast +Pork Sausage +Eggs Benedict +Salmon Eggs Benedict All looked very tasty. My french toast was good. Wish it had some more powdered sugar on it though, that would have made it perfect, or maybe a little bit more fruit. The pork sausage was also very tasty, not too salty. Just right. You get three links for $5, which isn't too bad, I guess. The hostesses were nice. Let us talk and chill for a while, even after we had eaten all of our food. I also liked that it wasn't too busy/noisy/packed. The menu is basic 3 Benedicts, 2 "bread" choices (french toast + crepes), a few interesting dishes (like fried chicken + mac + collard greens), but it's not an insanely inspired menu. Would I go back? Maybe if I was in this neighb and wasn't inspired by anything else. They need to step up their pseudo-French game if they want more starrzzzz. read more

This place has horrible customer service! I was not pleased during my visit here! I, a female, was berated by the staff, which was comprised of three men! They are egregiously disrespectful and the support of this establishment would mean the support of a team of men who very evidently hate women. read more

What a great find. Sweet, cozy little place with the kind of intimate buzz you look for when you want a good date night. Service was impeccable and charming - for food we both had the lobster bisque (delicious and with delicate chunks of lobster added in). I had moules mariniere with fries (delicious and well cooked, and the fries were very nice) and he had steak frites, which he enjoyed. We both split profiterole, which took the form of a long choux pastry with three scoops of ice cream and chocolate sauce to pour. Overall I am pregnant with food bebé and had a delicious, romantic evening. This is definitely going on the list. read more

What a great restaurant. It had a great ambience. I started off with artichoke and garlic sauce. The sauce was very tasty. I had the Beef Bourguignon. It was very good. The sauce was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was great and friendly. read more

I'm in love. This is my new favorite place!!! I feel like I'm in another part of the country when I sit in the beautiful garden. The oyster selection is to die for. The staff is amazing!!!! I've had the seafood pasta and the burger and they were both incredibly delicious. Don't forget to get your cheese board filled with cheese, little toasted warm bread, fruits, nuts, and salad, it is absolutely divine. If you want to treat yourself and get away to another place in your mind , come here. If you want to impress a date, come here. If you want to show mom and dad that you're doing good without them, bring them here. I'm adding to my review; did I say I love this place. Here again and it looks like they remodeled slightly. The bartender or shall I say 'Startender' Victoria is totally awesome. read more

Great menu, intimate vibe, great atmosphere. If you are still deciding where to go, this is your answer

Cute, little restaurant. Spaced out nicely for social distancing. Food was very good, nice ambiance and even nicer wait staff. Will definitely return ! read more

Food and ambiance were really wonderful for a Sunday brunch. My needs were very specific that morning. I needed a "my girlfriend's parents are in town" place to eat with the internal requirement that they trusted my dining options. We wanted to make them feel cozy and watch their faces nod in enjoyment at their forks as they warranted my relationship with their daughter. Service was good. Parents were cozy. We ate. They nodded at their forks. They asked me to be their son. That last thing didn't happen but I think it could have. Bring your girlfriend's parents here. Or just yourself. There are a number of dishes that will make you look at your utensils after you take a bite. read more

Delicious food. Great date night spot. I really enjoyed the escargots and steak tartare. The skate was also good. I wasn't impressed with the burger but it's okay you can't enjoy everything at restaurant. Overall it was good and i would definitely go back. Not to mention affordable prices. read more

It's cute. I was ready to have an enjoyable meal and I knew the prices before walking in. So why do I feel like the whole restaurant is more of a lazy scam than a fine dining experience? A litany of errors... -misinformation (outright lie) on their website: 1$ oysters are only on Monday's (and maybe Thursday?), and only from certain hours - NOT Sunday-Thursday as stated...well now our Sunday night is off to a good start -no knife with the cheese plate, try cutting pecorino with a dull table knife and pieces flying everywhere... -no decaf coffee, and no espresso of any kind (despite it being on the menu) -seated in a corner where my chair was repeatedly bumped through the meal and peoples coats were hitting my head - we split one app, one entree, and one dessert, for a total bill of 100$. At that price I don't want to feel like the website, menu, and service are an utter sham So yeah! Good times! Typical New York? No - in my 8 years here this is one of the shabbiest "fine dining" restaurants I've experienced. read more

So delicious will be back again and the staff is really cool Hope they keep doing $1 oysters read more

The food is excellent. Also the tarp covering the patio is excellent rain coverage. I went during a downpour and it was very dry back there, so that was good. Three stars off for... If you sit the back patio be sure your date faces the kitchen so they don't see the constant stampede of rats that pass between the adjacent yards along the back fence. One hit ballsy and ran up to us halfway in the middle. I had to stomp my foot on the ground while laughing at a corny joke my date was making to keep it away. She must have thought I was CRAZY. read more

Great spot in Bushwick! The outdoor garden seating is just beautiful! They even have an awning that they put out when it rains so you're good to go. I came here over the weekend for an impromptu birthday dinner with some friends. The service was excellent, even when our friend asked some tricky questions regarding drinks and specials. I had the squid ink gnocchi special with seafood on top, and it was great. The gnocchi was so fluffy and just melted away in your mouth. Oysters, and the cheese board were also delicious! The staff even came out with candles atop a creme brulee, turned off ALL the lights outside and the whole restaurant joined in a happy birthday song. I've never seen anything like it! Thanks so much, we'll be back soon! read more

I had an amazing time at Mominette last night! Amazing venue. The back yard is very cute with strings lights all over, and despite the fact that it was quite busy (Saturday night) they could arrange us a table outside pretty quickly! They also have ver convenient awnings so if you sit outside and it starts raining (like it did) it will keep you from getting wet. The food was really good, they have a very large selection of oysters for $1 each. We also had the specials squid ink gnocchis, the lobster salad and the mushroom salad. Everything was excellent! The cocktails are amazing, we ended up having way too many (try the Bloody Mary, they were second in a big contest In Brooklyn if I remember well. They taste like heaven ). The staff is also very nice and helpful, Jules is a very friendly server and gives very good recommendations so don't hesitate to ask him any question!! I'll definitely be back! read more

Mominette, from the outside, is an unassuming little spot on bustling Knickerbocker Ave. As my roommate and I approached, we saw a sign outside advertising $1 oysters and a garden out back. We were sold. The garden area is lovely - filled with greenery and sun, a great place to sit and enjoy afternoon cocktails with friends. When it came time to order, we asked to start with the oysters and were informed that they don't start serving oysters until 5pm (it was 4). Why advertise with a sign out front to lure people in and then not offer it once they are sitting? This was disappointing. I ordered the burger and my roommate got the veggie burger. When the food arrived, the presentation was nice but the quality was terrible. I asked for a medium burger, which I don't think would have been possible given the poor meat quality. My burger was crumbly and grey and had stringy hard sinewy chunks that I actually had to spit into my napkin. My roommate's veggie burger was actual mush. No shape or texture to it at all. It was like eating baby food. When the waiter came by after we finishing eating and asked how everything tasted, we were honest. Hopefully the chef considers stepping it up and purchasing higher quality food. I felt like $14 was far too much to charge for a nasty burger that probably cost 50 cents. So if you come to Mominette, come enjoy the patio and drinks and friendly service but don't waste your time eating here. read more

Came for brunch on a weekend, and they sat us pretty quickly. Unfortunately, all 3 of our dishes were underwhelming - bland burger, weird eggs, one thin slice of ham on the croque monsieur. Won't be back but wasn't horrible. read more

Came here for brunch for a third time today. Time to share the goodness. We always sit in the backyard, it's so cozy and beautiful. Any dish we have here is always good. Great diversity on the menu while retaining the frenchness. Today I had the Eggs de Parme with great home fries. Délicieux ! Waiting staff is always super nice and helpful, it's a pleasure to spend a good part of my Sunday here. Will try to come for oyster happy hour and dinner next. read more

Literally a terrible experience from the moment we walked in till we left. The server was very awkward and we had to go up to get our own menus because he kept disappearing. Even tho he used a notepad he kept messing up our orders and was so confused even though we weren't ordering anything customized, literally straight from the menu. My friend tried to reiterate to make sure he wrote it down correctly but he cut us off mid sentence, said he got it and walked away. Yet he totally forgot to put in my friends order. We gave 3 cards to pay and he only charged it on 2 of them, forgetting the 3rd card somehow that was in his possession. Just annoying. And he had an attitude with the whole time. Definitely not going back. read more

This is probably my to go spot will be in bushwick. Great food . Definitely try escargot, supper delicious, nice and oily with some sweet French onions . Also they have 1$ oyster nights ( I dunno if is every day ) , but def worth to try . And for the dollar oysters you have like 5/6 options. Amazing service, attentive and friendly . Definitely will be back . read more

I came here on a Saturday night for dinner while visiting my friend & we decided to sit outside. Loved this place! Everything we tried was so delicious & the staff was so nice. I was confused why they were being so nice but my friend had to explain to me that that's how they were normally! So...A+ for customer service! We got 2 glasses of wine, Le Grand Mix, and 1/2 dozen oysters. Everything was fresh and delicious. Wish we got to try more things but we were so full afterwards. One of the servers realized that we ran out of bread and he came out with so much more and butter! I'm seriously blown away by the customer service here, if you can't tell. read more
