The food and service was good but after 2pm on Sundays for brunch if you are not black DO NOT GO HERE! I'm black and my girlfriend is Scottish and she was treated very poorly by a black woman and she did not do anything to provoke her but was told to 'look around' and that she 'didn't belong there' because she was not black. We will NEVER return to this place because if we are going to be treated poorly simply because she isn't black then this is not a place for us. read more

Great place to have a meal with friends - had the French toast the 1st time I went - perfectly made and crunchy where it should be. Had the Kobe burger the other day with cheddar - I thoroughly enjoyed it- though my medium burger was well done but still good and edible. Has seating on the street and in a backyard garden - cute vibes read more

Food was terrible bathrooms filthy Portions small Seafood salad was warm and not tasty. Not impressed Will not be back. I did enjoy the Espresso Martini. They served steak w French fries instead of baked potato. Music on radio very loud not my kind of place. No AC on front door wide open. Prices high had to ask for bread which took a long time to be brought to table no oil or butter. Sorry not great. read more

I've been here a few times and each time I ask myself... why did I come here again?? I've been here for brunch and dinner a handful of times. I remember not hating it, but I'm not loving it either and yet I still end up here fore some reason. I'll first say that I never usually pick an Italian spot. It's usually someone else's suggestion. So this last time here I came with a friend for dinner. I got the caeser salad & penne alla bistecca. The salad was okay nothing really special. The skirt steak was good, but the pasta was really bland. I mean I needed ALLLLLL the salt. I rarely use salt when I go out. The staff were super pleasant and possibly why I have no real issue with going. I figure I'll find something that okay enough especially if someone else really wants to dine here. However, this spot wouldn't be my 1st or 2nd choice. read more

My partner and I went there for a Valentine's Day dinner. Place was very crowded and there seemed to be only two waitstaff working that evening. The restaurant was only serving their prix-fixe menu which meant that we had no choice than to order the $69 three -course dinner which wasn't what we really wanted. The dinner included drinks, mine was a margarita, which seemed to have only a barely detectable amount of alcohol if any. There was a long wait for anything to arrive at our table, possibly because it was a busy night and they seemed understaffed and a bit overwhelmed. My entree was the lasagna which was by far the worst lasagna I've ever had. It arrived barely warm and tasted like it sat around a while and was overly smothered in mozzarella to the point where it tasted mostly like a pile of cheese with some meat sauce. I could barely eat it. My partner ordered a fish dish which she said did not taste at all fresh. We decided to order two more drinks which we had to remind the waiter about more than once. When the bill arrived there was an added gratuity of 20% tacked on with a space on the bill for an added tip. In short, it cost us around $200 for a quite mediocre meal. We had been to Verde for dinner before and really enjoyed it but probably won't go back again after this. read more

Celebrated a birthday brunch at Verde's. We were a large party to be attended to on a busy holiday but the staff was very accommodating, the food was good and the atmosphere festive. Happy to have chosen Verde for the event. read more

haven't been here again recently after I watched the manager yell at a hostess for SMILING. he had this poor girl standing outside on a cold morning and while it was very busy she was clearly doing the best she could with the groups of people waiting to be sat for brunch. several times she told a group that they were to be seated next and then the manager would come out and seat whoever he wanted. she was clearly becoming flustered because people were getting mad at her for this and the next time he came out she tried to correct him before he sat another random group first and then we all watched him raise his voice at her and question why she was smiling. yes. he yelled at a HOSTESS for smiling. you could tell she was holding back tears and before we left our group slipped her a 20. no one should have to deal with a manager like that. despicable. treat your staff better. read more

Stopped by for brunch a few times. They have a decent size space. But they get pretty packed for brunch on the weekend. They offer 2 different brunch packages a 90 min bottomless option with the purchase of an entree and $70 for 2 which come with 2 entrees and one pitcher. We went with the $70 option and ordered the spaghetti carbonara + chicken and a steak sandwich with fries both of which were good. We went with the turquoise island but I would've much rather a sangria or flavored mimosa. We loved that the menu had a variety of options both brunch staples and not so brunch options. read more

Such a cute place! Came here for brunch with a friend. They do not do reservations and so we chanced it midday on a Sunday and we were able to get a table relatively quickly. The ambiance is cozy with great service. The french toast was amazing crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The omelet was nicely seasoned and a good texture without the eggs being rubbery. The prices are also reasonable for brunch in Brooklyn. Would definitely recommend! read more

I chose to order the branzino fillet, the waiter gave me the option of having a whole fish or just a fillet which I appreciated because most restaurants don't do that and eating a whole fish on a date was not the wave. Not shocked, the fish was delicious! So juicy and it was appropriate portioned. The restaurant is really narrow and dimly lit. There wasn't that many people because we went on a weekday and an hour before closing but other than that I definitely want to come back and try more options. read more

Came in with a friend from out of town and despite the brunch rush. It was a 20 minute wait. It was daily bottomless brunch for $22/per person. The calamari was nice and fried hard just the way I like it. The ambiance was nice and the server Arita was amazing. She knew when the drinks needed to be replenished. Her service was amazing and she was very relatable to you as a patron. He timing was impeccable with the food, drinks, and making sure we were satisfied. I will definitely return to this place. My only thing Twain why they didn't get 5 starts is because the heat was on 100 and they needed better circulation for the indoors and especially the outdoor seating. The venue was clean and the owner definitely checked on the patrons to make sure the service, food, & libations were up to par. Thank you you for making friend want to return from out of town. read more

I came here for a date night dinner, which wasn't too busy on a Monday evening. We got a table in their street patio since it was a nice day out. To start off, we had the Burrata & Prosciutto ($18) to share, which was refreshing. I'm not crazy about this dish, but had a nice presentation. We also had some Bruschetta on the side to pair. For the main dish, we both ordered the Steak and Fries ($32), which also comes with Brussel sprouts. I like that they have both fries and veggies for a balanced meal. Plus, the steak was cut for you already too, so made it for easy eating. To pair, we got a bottle of the Montepulciano D'Abruzzo Red Wine ($52). The waiter came by to check on us a few times throughout the meal. Nice spot along the busy street on Smith. read more

Went on Sunday with my family, not too long of a wait. We sat inside and our Waiter Movo was nice. As always the food didn't disappoint. And the he kept the drinks coming as he should. We wished we day outside but I failed to request it. I see this place has become really popular and has a lot of consumers. The menu has everything for everyone and the price isn't bank breaking. I like this ace and Def. Will be going back for brunch. I'm glad they improved on getting drinks out. My omlette and side if turkey bacon wew good. The penne a la vodka needed a lil salt n pepper maybe to bring it the taste. read more

This place was busy for brunch on a Saturday so if you're thinking about social distancing; that's not going to happen. However, they check for vaccination before you come in and all staff were masked (and so very pleasant!). They have two dining areas; one which is outdoors but enclosed and an indoor space. We were directly ushered to the enclosed area for dining. The meal itself was fine. I had the skirt steak Benedict, a friend had shrimp scampi and another one had hanger steak and eggs. I ordered a hot chocolate which was ok; not too sweet but not much of a chocolate flavor either. My skirt steak was prepared as I asked; rare, but it was pretty tendony (I know that's not a word), the eggs weren't very runny and the Hollandaise was solidified, the hash was great. I think my plate was sitting for awhile because the food came out more like room temperature rather than warm. I tried a bite of the scampi and the flavor was good And pasta was Al dente. Overall, not a bad experience but not at the top of my brunch list. But they do offer a bottomless brunch. Credit card surcharge is applied but unclear until you get your bill. Not a deal breaker as I know many small businesses need to survive, but wanted to share for awareness. read more

This is a quaint Italian restaurant in Cobble Hill. We made a reservation for a party of five and they had the table waiting for us. We had an early dinner but even later in the evening when we were leaving, the restaurant was not busy at all. They gave us complimentary tomato onion bruschetta as a starter. It was tasty, with the olive oil soaked nicely into the bread. We also had the fried mozzarella, which we enjoyed. For my main, I had the pappardelle portobello. The pasta was nicely cooked al dente but the dish was a bit lacking on the mushrooms. It was quite bland and would've been better in a cream sauce. I had to load it with chili flakes and parmesan just to get a bit of flavor. To drink, I had the spicy margarita. It had only a subtle kick and wasn't very strong alcohol-wise. It was a fine experience, but nothing really of note about this restaurant. read more

Hello Spring!! I have been meaning to try Verde on the smith for ages. Smith St is always a great vibe and I knew once I saw the weather was going to be 70 degrees, this was the move. I can truly say great choice! We had a bit of a wait because there were so many people out and about. We were able to be seated right before brunch ended and were able to get our bottomless drinks. My glass literally was replenished so quickly. They were on top of things . My server Memo was great! In terms of food I got the steak and eggs with home fries and it was tasty. I also tasted the calamari which was great as well. All and all great experience. We were seated in the patio. The sun was shining . Good vibes all around. read more

When we first walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. The color scheme is gorgeous--lots of blues and greens. It felt homey. The service was 10/10. Everyone was very accommodating. We felt very well taken care of. My table ordered the Royalty Brunch Plate with the French toast and turkey sausage and the pancakes with strawberries and blueberries. So many dish options and drinks to choose from. There were three bathrooms with accessibility in mind as well. Fully recommend this spot and would 1000% come again! read more

Came here to celebrate my son's amazing report card. The service was ok. Awful food!! I ordered the seafood linguine and the seafood tasted rotten. The food had no flavor. This is an embarrassment to Italian food. My stomach is in knots from eating bad seafood. I should have paid attention to the empty restaurant. Lesson learned. read more

As soon as I arrived here, I told my friend "I cannot believe I have never been here" simply because it's rare that I haven't tried a brunch spot, especially one in Brooklyn. Verdict after coming: I loved this place, from the set up to the food. I had never been to a brunch spot where it was so hard to choose something. Their menu is very thorough and all the tables around us who had ordered different things, all raved about their dish. On the menu they have all kinds of brunch food like crepes and pancakes, to pasta and steak. The Penne alla Vodka with Shrimp was very good, and I love that their unlimited brunch drinks aren't limited to just mimosa (Bellini me please). I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a bustling brunch spot in Carroll Gardens. There was a 45-minute wait for a table for 2, so my friend and I went to grab dessert first from nearby Malai Ice Cream. When we returned, we were told that it would be an additional 20 minutes, but thankfully we were seated in the backyard garden in less time than that. The outdoor dining area was lovely and felt cozy. I was thinking of ordering the Grilled Skirt Steak and Fries, and in retrospect, I should have gone with that choice. Instead, I decided to go for the Shrimp Scampi, which consisted of 6 jumbo shrimp cooked in sauce made out of lemon, butter, and garlic, along with Saffron Risotto. The shrimp was lovely and I really enjoyed the accompanying the sauce, which was well seasoned and addicting. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, succulent, juicy, and I kept drowning them in the delicious sauce. The Saffron "Risotto," however, left much to be desired. It was certainly not risotto by any means... I don't think I even detected any cheese within it, and it was a very small portion - No more than a quarter cup. The saffron flavor did come through though. The service was pretty good. I would give this place another try at some point, but it won't be for awhile. read more

A great spot for brunch! They have plenty of outdoor seating, with both curbside seating and a backyard area. We were even able to dine with our dog! I wish they weren't so expensive, because I would literally order half the menu. But alas, my budget only allows me one entre and one drink LOL. My roommate and I split the smoke salmon benedict and crab cakes. We also both ordered lychee mojitos. MMM, the crab cakes were heavenly. Fresh and creamy and moist, they were perfect. The smoked salmon benedict was also amazing. The eggs were cooked wonderfully, and they didn't skimp on the smoked salmon portions. Each dish also came with a small assortment of greens. I'm not really sure how I felt about the lychee mojitos, because, well you'll read why. I was looking forward to a super refreshing lychee taste, which I did taste in the first sip, but beyond that initial sip, all I could taste was alcohol. So on the one hand, a little disappointed that the lychee flavor wasn't all there, but on the other hand, they are very generous with their alcohol pours and you're definitely getting the most bang for your buck if you're looking to get a little buzzy at brunch! Next time, we'll definitely be indulging in one of their bottomless options, perhaps with three entrées split between us, haha! read more

3.5. I came for brunch with my two friends. As we went to High School right across the street from here, it was fun going down memory lane, as we left HS almost 20 years ago.... now onto the review. I arrived here early, so I tried to reserve a spot. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. As my friends arrived, we were able to be seated immediately. They have seating, both in the front, the inside, and the backyard area. We were seated in the backyard, which was spacious and distant from others. As they only provide 60 minutes for bottomless brunch, we all knew what we wanted and were ready. After about ten minutes, someone came over and we collectively ordered the following; Buttermilk Pancakes--4.5 out of 5 Nutella French Toast--5. (I didn't try it but my friend raved about it) Buffalo Wings--(I didn't try it, but my two friend did and they enjoyed) Seasoned Fries Wedges--1 out of 5. (They were so dry; they were basically not edible. Don't order this. Mozzarella Sticks--4.5 out of 5. They were pretty good Eggs-3 out of 5. I didn't care for the eggs, it's hard to mess up eggs, but they didn't do anything for me. One of my friends said she liked hers. Turkey Bacon Overall, I had a good time here. I believe the food was a tad above average, but the service was above average. All of the people we encountered were friendly and helpful. They constantly checked on the table and would refill the mimosas without even being asked to do so. read more

Probably one of the busiest brunch spots I've been to in a hot minute. I met up with a friend around 1pm-ish. There was a 45 minute wait so we went and got ice cream and walked around for awhile after we put our name down. Came back and there was an additional 20 minute wait. I highly recommend making a reservation. You will probably still have to wait for your table. There's both indoor and outdoor dining, a large atrium outside that's very well heated, private bubble booths as well, and seating outside in front of their establishment. They really went the extra distance with trying to find a way to accommodate as many customers as possible while really utilizing their space and keeping it socially distant and safe. So is it worth the wait? Yes and no. I think it is quite expensive for what it is. The boozey aspect of brunch is $20 on top of your food. But what place isn't these days. But they have a much wider selection of brunch cocktails (Peach, Mango, Raspberry, Pineapple, Cranberry Bellini, Mimosa, Bloody Mary, and Screwdrivers) than most places. I wasn't feeling in a drinking heavily kind of mood and went with a singular mango bellini ($8) and it was aight. More juicy than boozey and I get it with how many drinks they're churning out for the unlimited deal. For my food I ordered the savory chicken crepe with mozzarella and spinach. It came with a side salad and precisely three potato wedges. The crepe was large enough that I wasn't upset over the skimpy amount of potatoes. It was just noted. But I really actually enjoyed the crepe. My friend went with the shrimp scampi and let me tell you. . . . scampi translates to skimpy. Genuinely shocked. It was six pieces of shrimp which is fine over a very carefully measured amount of saffron rice. Like someone said don't serve more than a quarter cup of rice on this one. But she said it was really delicious and she would definitely come back. So maybe the flavors are spot on. But all I could think was thank god I didn't get the child sized portion of rice and handful of shrimpies. Overall, I was pleased. Not sure if I would extend myself to come back immediately but I'd give them another shot and maybe splurge the extra $20 if I'm going to wait over an hour to sit down. read more

The best spot I tried in New York I was wondering where the good food was at and it's here Verde on Smith great service. we had the unlimited mimosas and they kept coming quick.

I've had my eye on this place for a couple years and finally got to visit. The restaurant was nice inside and looked great for a casual date night or dinner with friends. The service was great and prompt. Now the food, was just okay. The calamari had the breading falling off the meat and was rather greasy and extra chewy. The pasta was very regular and not really worth the price to me as it was nothing to write home about. I did enjoy my drink! Overall an okay experience but was expecting more from the food. read more

Friend and I went for dinner at Verde on a Friday night- be advised there are no RSVPs.

Why haven't I been to this place ever before? Came here for lunch and greatly enjoyed the experience. The food - I had steak and eggs with a side order of French toast. I also opted for the 60 minute mimosas. The steak was prepared well - medium well and the eggs were fried according to my needs. The food was well-seasoned. The French toast was my favorite part of the meal. I bread never became soggy even after I loaded it with syrup. Staff - Excellent and patient. They even allowed us for the opportunity to stay even longer. Perfect place for brunch with the friends to your mate. This place followed covid restrictions. My friend and I sat outside and they had hand sanitizer available upon entry. I'll definitely return. read more
