French toast
Jessica G.

We came in for brunch around noon on a Saturday and got seated right away. The French toast was great and the fruit was super fresh. We got bottomless and the passion fruit mimosa was my favorite. They are pretty strict about the 90 minute limit, we got about four drinks each and were feeling nice.

Biscuits and gravy

We came for Sunday brunch with a large group, and the staff was very accommodating. The boozy brunch drinks were definitely the star of the show! The food was good, too, making it a great choice for brunch with friends.

Shrimp and lobster
Joannie B.

Came for brunch. 7 minute walk from the train. Nice spot. Ample space. Full bar. Good music. Waitress could be better with checking up on her tables. I liked the different drink options for brunch. Simple menu nothing too fancy or eye catching. I ordered the Jerk chicken hash which is supposed to come with chicken breast, but i barely saw any chicken on my plate and nothing about it was jerked. Instead of a chicken breast it was chicken chunks mixed in with the potatoes. The grits was good. Food was ok. One of the girls had the shrimp and lobster which looked good. Margaritas were good. Dip was ok. Black owned so I went to support.

Cheddar Grits
Justin W.

Sweet Science is a decent brunch spot with cool, loud music from a professional DJ to set the vibe. They have a solid brunch menu with plenty of options and the ability to tag on bottomless mimosas for +$30/p. First off, the food is alright. The burger tasted good but the portion was small. I'd consider more like a slider than a burger. The cheddar grits side is 100% not worth it. Overall for the price, I don't think it was worth it. It'll be a fun time every once in a while.

Crab Cake
Parker G.

What an absolutely and legitimately amazing experience! A space designed to be accessible, comfortable, and yet refined at the same time. Starting with the crab cake, I found it perfectly prepared, delectable, and delicious. I also loved all the cocktails we ordered, which were the perfect mix of strengthen and deliciously unique flavor. For entrees, the Sweet Science Burger and the Catfish Sandwich were both perfect in their preparation and taste. I'm saying this because I truly enjoyed them - yes, they were a bit pricey on the menu, but for me, they completely were warranted when it came to their quality and taste. So i have nothing at ALL to complain about. Not to mention the fact that service was extremely friendly and hospitable. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. Great food, service, and vibes. I definitely think it's worth it!

Happy Hour Margarita
Tanya R.

I am a Sweet Science newbie. I had my first Happy Hour experience there yesterday and it will not be my last. Dropped in with a friend who is a Sweet Science regular. I liked the vibe immediately upon entry. Dim but not too dark lighting. Vintage feel. Fully stocked bar and a beautifully framed, larged photo of Biggie on the wall. We started our time there with really good Margaritas. I like mines classic. Ashley, the beautiful bartender made them just right. I sipped my drink and made friends with a really cool guy sitting next to me. He treated me and my friend to tequila shots. We asked for our shots to be served chilled upon my friend's suggestion. It was a great suggestion indeed. I ordered a burger from the hh menu. It was fresh and stacked! I take my burgers well done. I added a fried egg, crispy bacon and extra pickles. It was so good. My friend ordered a biscuit topped with saucy lobster and shrimps from the main menu. She raved about the sauce so I took a little of hers to drizzle over my burger. So good! We were told that Happy Hour is all day on Thursdays so we made a quick run to another spot and then made our way BACK to Sweet Science. I continued my night with rosé, mozzarella sticks, the most delicious mini skillet of crab dip and finally a whiskey sour. I'm late to Sweet Science and their vibe but better late than never. They have great music and large tv's showing sports too. I'll be back again and again. Good stuff!

Sweet Science is such a gem for brunch in Brooklyn! My friend and I were dilly dallying all Sunday so why not stop by S.S to wrap up the festivities. Their brunch goes from 11-5pm, which is generous as most places wrap up brunch by 3pm. We got there around 4pm, grabbed two seats at the bar and ordered the lobster, shrimp & biscuits to split. The food was spot on, very fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Every dish that came out for other patrons also looked good. The vibes were also immaculate. The music was great as the DJ kept the chunzzz coming. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming or overly stimulating like most brunch spots. The space is also welcoming whether you're with friends or flying solo. On top of that, there was plenty of street parking, which is always a win in New York. The only reason I'm giving 4 (it's really a 4.5) stars instead of 5 is because the bartender tossed out my mocktail when I went to the restroom. Like miss ma'am, you take my full glass but not the empty ones still sitting on top the bar. Sigh. She offered to re-make it but I was over it. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I'll definitely be back for brunch again.

Hey Baby Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich
Stacey H.

Sweet Science is the place to go if you are in the mood for a lowkey , comfy eatery. I went during happy hour and the drinks did not disappoint. I ordered a guava margarita on the rocks and a frozen passion fruit margarita and both drinks were very good. The South Carolina tangy wings were alright to me but my friends loved it. The Maryland limb crab dip was the star of the show for me. (If you are a fan of dips such as artichoke dip or ragu's this would be a meal you enjoy). I also enjoyed the chicken biscuit(we cut it in half to split it via the picture). The chicken biscuit was both sweet and savory and the flavors blended together perfectly. I will definitely come back to this spot , there are many items on the menu that I love to try in the future.

I love this bar, even if it was where I watched the Knicks get eliminated this past season. This particular spot wasn't a destination for us, it was just an inviting bar on a corner we were walking by. However, it was exactly what we wanted for the evening: cocktails and seats to watch the Knicks, with a good crowd but not so many people that it was unbearable. Sweet Science seems to be exactly what a lot of people need or want, judging by our first visit. They've also got: -A big beautiful bar. -Affordable cocktails. -A great beer selection. -Good music, when the Knicks sound wasn't on. -Huge open air windows, and great tables outside. -Food that we have yet to get down with (I liked the menu though). -Paint & Sip going on in the back that night (along with other events all the time). Plus, I got to mansplain to my wife about how the sweet science is boxing. What else could you ask for?

Shrimp & lobster biscuit
Tamika G.

Wish I was able to say a vibe waa had. Unfortunately was a hit and miss at my visit to sweet science. The music was good..not too loud, energy in the resturant fantastic, the service was cool as well. That's about all the positive I got. Our bottomless mimosa was more like bottles of champagne only. Each flavor lacking and the pitchers lacking a proper balance of juice to champagne. Food was decent. While our shrimp and lobster in it's flavorful sauce paired was the cheesy grits was amazing. The biscuit was dense. Our crabcakes was flavorful, lump crab, fresh avocado and a heap of crispy onions. The steak and eggs was a disaster. Eggs were slapped on the plate and steak was bloody. My temperature request was medium but clearly they did not let the steak rest.

Chicken Parm sandwich

Food is good. I went for happy hour... I love my bartenders Vee and Ashley.. This is one of my go to spots.. Nice little spot

I came here for bottomless brunch with my friends and we had a great time. They don't seat you unless your entire party is present. The restaurant is kind of dark as the rain added to the gloominess unfortunately but we still had a good time. We all got mimosas and you can choose your favor of mango, orange, passionfruit, and guava. I enjoyed passionfruit and guava. A bucket of champagne bottles are brought out so you can make your own mimosas. We ordered: - Hey Baby Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich: I added Cajun fries. This was sooo good. I loved that the chicken had a glaze and wasn't dry. The biscuit as a bun was a great addition/detail. It also came with a salad. I wish the fries were a little crunchier. - Jerk Chicken Hash: my friends enjoyed this - Breakfast Burrito: this looked huge - avocado tomato toast with poached egg Service was a little slow. We had to flag down the servers a few times.

Jerk Chicken Hash  Boneless chicken, potato, onions & peppers cooked in homemade jerk seasoning w/over easy eggs. Served w/cheddar grits

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!

We were here for Restaurant Week, so it was $45 for three courses. We ordered: - the heirloom tomatoes - the Caesar salad - the chicken - the pasta dish - lemon tart - the chocolate cake Honestly, all these were incredible! The chicken was so crispy but also juicy. My partner and I joked about coming back to the restaurant a day later so we could enjoy it agajn during Restaurant Week. The lemon tart was fantastic. It was also really easy to make a reservation on the day of.

They spill all over the place every time and because of that, I always burn my hand. They don't have sleeves either because I think the cups are too small. The customer service could be better as it always seems like to-go orders are an inconvenience over dining in customers. Either way, the location is convenient if you need a coffee shop in Greenpoint if the neighboring shops are full. They do have a full menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner service. The prices match the location and the food looks good as there are always locals dining outside with their families and dogs. The space is spacious as well. I cannot comment on the food, only my takeout order experience. Accepts cash, card and Applepay. Indoor, outdoor and takeout available. Bathroom available.
