We loved the food…read more Came here on a saturday for lunch before the world cup. We arrived just when it opened I think. The place was pretty quiet. Friendly waitress greeted us and sat us immediately. Menu's came out and they recommended a pizza and burger. We agreed and ordered. Place started to pick up and get busy immediately after we ordered. Food came out pretty quickly. We each had a burger. Not a lot of options on the menu but we all tried the emily burger. It was worth it. Think, juicy and with an amazingly unique taste. The ingredients were high quality, the burger cooked to perfection. The table also split the modern pizza (I think). Not sure what to expect from this one but turns out it was perfect, unique and delicious. The cheese taste really shined through. Overall, we were super happy with the food here. Stop by if you have a chance.

Drove past this place for years and never went in, no idea why. Finally stopped in last week with…read moremy wife and honestly, should've done it sooner. The roast beef sandwich is the star here and for good reason. They slice it thin, pile a ton on, and the bread's already soaked in the jus by the time it gets to you, which sounds weird if you've never had it but trust me it's the move. Get it dipped again when they ask too, yes it's messy, just deal with it. Fries were fine, nothing crazy but good for dunking in the extra jus pooling on your plate. Had a beer too, don't remember what kind, just whatever was on tap. The inside is kind of a time capsule, feels like it hasn't changed in decades, in a good way. Staff just get you in and out, no small talk, which honestly I didn't mind. Only reason it's 4 and not 5 for me is this whole place is built around one thing, so you really gotta be into roast beef going in. But if that's your thing, this is about as good as it gets. Going back next time we're over that way.

One of my favorite meals I've had! Everything was absolutely stellar. From the wine to the ceviche…read moreto the king oyster mushrooms to the fish! The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious. The sauce and the texture of the mushrooms were to die for. I've salivating thinking about them right now! The fish was also so amazing. The bottoms were so crispy, it was almost like it was a layer of potato chip! Really great texture, and the fish meat was cooked to perfection. Really sad that they're closing, but looking forward to whatever the chef/restaurant team does next!

Our food experience at Nura was a bit of a mixed bag, but when I think about the total package with…read moreambiance, environment and service, I feel like it earns four stars. It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

I've never had honey butter before and having it with their cornbread was fire! It was our last night in Brooklyn and I'm so glad we ended up stopping here. It has a cute Hawaiian retro vibe and our server was great. Definitely one of those places I'm happy we gave a chance despite the ratings.

Well, to our surprise, a crowd was already gathered outside so that was a great sign of a great spot. We were there for their well-known fried chicken, great bar drinks and super relaxing Williamsburg bar vibes. This spot is bigger than it seems from the outside. Multiple areas including the bar, indoor booths, tables and outdoor seating as well. The Commodore definitely catered to everyone's desire. We sat at the bar but note, The Commodore is self-sitting meaning order drinks and food at the bar, keep tab open or close tab immediately and you get your drink right away, but they do serve your food to your table. The staff is genuinely nice and service is very professional. Located right near BQE and Metropolitan, this area is relatively easy for parking especially on Sunday and or holiday.

This is one of those places where everything on the menu sounds so good and so you have lots of trouble deciding what to get, but the fact of the matter is everything actually IS delicious so you can't go wrong.

Waitstaff was so so so charming and so attentive. never had to flag them down or ask for water. Music was also on point and set the tone for the rest of the wonderful evening.

I've attended a lot of brunches…read more Usually I am relegated to the patio. At Sunday in Brooklyn, however, someone finally recognized that I am capable of indoor dining. We were meeting friends for brunch, and although this cute corner restaurant has outdoor seating, the staff very kindly allowed me to come inside with everyone. Excellent start. Then the food began arriving. And things escalated quickly. Sunday in Brooklyn is known for its double-stack pancakes, but calling this thing a pancake feels wildly inadequate. It's enormous. It's decadent. It's covered in something magical. I don't entirely understand what happens in that kitchen, but clearly regular pancake rules do not apply here. And Mom didn't even order the regular version. They were offering a special tiramisu version. Naturally, Mom decided this needed investigation. Please refer to the photographic evidence. Then--because apparently a gigantic tiramisu pancake doesn't constitute an entire brunch--Mom also ordered the biscuits & gravy. There was a moment when I genuinely wondered whether we had accidentally ordered for the whole restaurant. Mom accompanied all of this with a green juice, presumably to restore nutritional balance. I'm not sure that's how it works. Dad had the French toast bites with a side of bacon and his traditional Diet Coke. I monitored the bacon closely. Very closely. Our friend Stephanie had the cheeseburger with fries and a green juice, while David went with a chicken sandwich. Basically, every human at this table ordered something that required my direct supervision. It was exhausting. The food really was spectacular, though. This wasn't simply a place that happened to let me inside--the humans were genuinely excited about everything they ordered, and those pancakes alone made the meal memorable. Meanwhile, I behaved like a perfect Brooklyn brunch gentleman. Mostly. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Indoor Dogba privileges: VERY appreciated Famous double-stack pancake: completely ridiculous Tiramisu pancake situation: next level Mom ordering pancakes AND biscuits & gravy: ambitious Dad's bacon: closely monitored French toast bites: Dad approved Stephanie's cheeseburger: impressive David's chicken sandwich: also under surveillance Dad's Diet Coke: predictable Green juice: apparently cancels out pancakes Brunch with friends: excellent Dogba's table manners: impeccable* *This statement has not been independently verified. Would I return? Absolutely. Any restaurant that lets me brunch inside while Mom orders a tiramisu pancake the size of my torso deserves another visit. Next time, however, I would like clarification on one thing: Four humans. Bacon on the table. One Dogba. And somehow I'm expected to believe this wasn't a sharing situation? I have concerns.
