    Grilled Hanger Steak
    Kiley K.

    Had a reservation here but despite arriving 15 minutes early didn't get seated until nearly 10 minutes after it had started given how busy they were. The hostess had a bit of an attitude and wasn't very welcoming but everything else about the experience was really good. The drinks were strong and came out quickly. The hanger steak was the star of the show. It was perfectly cooked and served with delicious roasted potatoes and salsa verde.

    I've been here twice for brunch and the location is great if you are spending time in Greenpoint. The food and beverage menus have a nice variety and I love the modern aesthetic. I'm giving it three stars for the food and ambiance, but where things fall short for me, as others have mentioned, is the service. The first time I visited, I ordered the breakfast burrito without meat. The table next to me ordered the same. The order took longer than expected, which I always find surprising for a standard vegetarian request, and the first bite had bacon. I'm not an ethical or religious vegetarian, so I wasn't personally upset, but I felt awful for the guy next to me who mentioned he was Muslim. During my second visit, the service missed the mark again. The waiter made no eye contact, didn't try to engage, and never checked in. I ordered the shakshuka, which was very good and a great portion, but by the end of the meal I was turned off by the service enough that I decided to get coffee and dessert at Maman down the street.

    Excellent ambiance with high ceilings and warm lighting. Staff is friendly and quick to greet guests and we were pleasantly surprised to see the inside of the restaurant relatively quiet on a Sunday evening. Their happy hour is solid, featuring $2 oysters and discounted tapas (like our eggplant fries which were excellent) and they also take Blackbird Pay. Overall an excellent neighborhood spot with plenty of charm and solid, well priced food.

    Brunch spread!

    I recommend this brunch restaurant in Greenpoint! Good options on the menu and lots of seating inside. My favorite was the burger and the buttermilk pancakes!

    Sereneco is always crowded when we walk by, but we recently went early on a Saturday and was able to get a table outside. The menu includes a variety of brunchy dishes to please everyone. We ordered the grilled vegetable sandwich which included eggplant and red peppers on focaccia. Also got the short rib sandwich stuffed with caramelized onions on sourdough. Plus a side of fries! Both sandwiches were super flavorful and filling. The fries were crispy and couldn't stop eating them. We'll be back to try dinner soon!

    Didn't have a full meal here but the weekend happy hour and the whipped ricotta are worth the high rating. Large, airy, and such a beautiful restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating. We came on a sunny Saturday around 5pm. They have a great happy hour between 4-6pm. Hostess was cute, waitress was nice. Drinks were solid (margarita and white wine), but go for the ricotta. Even the bread served with it was deliciously charred. Yum. I am trying to eat my way through Greenpoint (like every other person) but I will be back to this place!

    Chai latte and matcha latte

    This place is so cute just in the middle of a busy street. My friends work from home so they wanted a space where they could sit and I needed some food and a good matcha. I had their breakfast plate and their hot matcha latte and both were so good! Their happy hour menu looked good as well but we were there around 12pm.

    Sunny vibes and view for dinner. Dimly lit giving off romantic vibes. Perfect for a date night. Ordered a couple things off the happy hour menu (even offered on Saturday and Sundays). Got an entrée off the regular menu. The whipped feta was probably the best thing and most worthwhile dish to order. The burger was just OK. However, the fries were overly salted. The Ragu pasta was just OK. I appreciated their use of different nuts for texture. However, I have to point out that everything is overly salted. I think seasoning is important, but they were a little heavy handed here.

    Came for a short brunch on a weekend. We ordered the burger, and the whipped ricotta. Both satiated our cravings. We sat at an indoor table but had to flag down our server a few times throughout to try to order and get the check -- it was a busy day. Food was good, the location is ideal, and ambiance is airy, naturally lit with high ceilings for an open, bright feeling. They have tables outside for prime people watching and sun exposure.

    Been here several times however this is my first brunch at Sereneco and was AMAZING. Brunch entrees all simply top notch paired with some incredible cocktails. Love the open high ceiling concept here and It goes without saying my server was super sweet and friendly. What a fantastic dining experience.

    Grilled Vegetable Sandwich, Short Rib Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito
    Jessica S.

    It was yum! Your very standard airy expensive Brooklyn brunch cafe but it was good - a tad on salty side. Breakfast burrito was nice- think it wld b amazing w potato. I think u can skip The fries Don't know if it was standout enough to warrant coming back but had a nice experience overall

    Whipped Ricotta
    Gab G.

    Great neighborhood spot. Made a reservation for dinner on a Friday and had a great meal here. I tried: + Sereneco derby cocktail + whipped ricotta + Brussels sprouts + chicory salad + Grilled heritage pork chop The cocktail was delicious, and all of the food was solid, with the Brussels sprouts being the standout. Nice vibes inside, too. They have a really good happy hour - would come back just for drinks! And would try the brunch.

    We had a reservation for 5 ppl. The place was busyyyy. Aesthetic is open and crisp. Drinks not pictured were delicious. Food amazing! I had the steak with potatoes and I finished my entire plate. Everyone enjoyed their food. A friend in our party has been here multiple times and commented on her always leaving satisfied. I would definitely return.

The Highlights: * Polpo (Octopus): This was the standout for me. The octopus was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of saltiness and it paired beautifully with the creamy potatoes underneath. A very well-balanced dish. * Salad: Sometimes simple is best. The greens were incredibly fresh and the dressing was light and balanced--not overpowering at all. * Classic Tomato Spaghetti: You can always judge an Italian place by its red sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, staying true to the traditional Italian style. It was simple, fresh and deeply satisfying. * Chicken Dish: The chicken was surprisingly tender and juicy. It's often a basic choice but they executed it perfectly here. Overall: Naked Dog offers a cozy atmosphere with food that feels both elevated and comforting. Whether you're a fan of seafood or classic pasta, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be coming back!

There is local artwork on the wall (for sale if that is your goal), there are dozens of seats between couches, tables and even an old wooden desk from the 1930's. There's also a great outdoor patio with some covered tables and chairs. Effortless cool, this is it. Coffee: 5/5. We had the espresso and cortado. Both were rich and dark, and came in a nice porcelain cup. We appreciate the small touches, because coffee in paper cups is just not as tasty. Ambiance: 5/5. The decor is perfect for creative types looking for remote work locations. Plush couches, small high top tables with bankers lights, and a few long coffee tables makes this place ideal for work or socializing. The noise level on a Sunday afternoon was muted, but it might be louder during weekdays. Value: 5/5. The prices are well below market value for Greenpoint, about $1-$2 less than other coffee bars. And they have so many mocktails under $10! Wow it's like 2018 in here!

    It's been a while since I've been the first to review a business on Yelp. Usually one of the food…read moreinfluencers swoop in quickly to review places nowadays. Bouquet is a small business that hasn't promoted much on Instagram or Eater, so it seems to have gone under the radar. I'm hoping I can do it justice as the first reviewer on this platform. We stumbled upon Bouquet during a mini bar crawl in Greenpoint. We initially planned to hit a few spots, but ended up settling in here for most of the night. We were mostly served by Eric who I believe was the owner operator. He's a NYC native who is super passionate about wine. The wine bar focuses on natural wines and other wines which emphasize minimal additives. The goal here seems to be to sell from producers who try to capture magic in a bottle. The wine list is three pages, so it's long but still approachable. There are about ten wines available by the glass. I started with a Montelpuciano. I sampled a bit and found it to be gassy and funky. The bartender was receptive to my feedback and made another recommendation - a different wine from the Loire Valley. The second option was more of what I was looking for. It was a more structured wine with a more traditional palate. I decided to eventually circle back to the Montelpuciano for my second glass. I'm stubborn and like to give a different flavors a chance to grow on me. I'm a person who doesn't like blue cheese but continually tries it just to make sure. The aroma of this wine was minerally. The best description I have is an Iron adjacent smell. Almost like blood but not the same. The flavor was earthy and rooty. It was the best part of the wine. It had a short finish. I'm no wine expert, but I can tell I was tasting something special. The last time I had wine like this was at a wine making competition. I also tried some of the wine on draft. It was an easy going wine that you could easily have a few of. We didn't have any food, but it seemed like the signature of the menu was their smash burgers. They also had some small bites like fries, cheese, olives, charcuterie, and salads. The other big items were schnitzel and the Rigatoni Alla Vino. The operator said the Rigatoni was an ode to a dish from Don Peppe's - a locals' favorite Italian restaurant in Queens. The space is welcoming. It part of the new wave of wine bars that aren't stuffy. It's about trying fun and experimental wines. Young stuff. Not necessarily hawking out for carefully aged vintages. It's fun and the team is very hospitable. Music is what I'd expect from a Queens local. Lots of 90s and 2000s hip hop. Playlist was filled with A Tribe Called Quest, Talib Kweli, and Common. They have some big speakers and turntables for vinyl records. They had a new record from Future which I suppose is something to boost for audiophiles. Acoustics here were as good as any listening lounge that we've been to in NYC. Entertainment wise, they have some board games behind the bar. No TVs inside the bar, but they have a projector in the backyard which can be used for special events. Two gender neutral restrooms. The one I used was handicap accessible. There is a step to enter the establishment, but they have a button to press in order to request assistance with entry. Good luck to Bouquet! They'll certainly be my go to for wine in Greenpoint.
