Best Casual Restaurants in East New York

So happy to find this Brooklyn gem on Thanksgiving during a long layover. Food was cooked to perfection and so delicious. I highly recommend the beef Wellington. I don’t know if it is a regular menu item.

This place is a gem! The atmosphere is fun and inviting, the food is delicious, and the customer service is outstanding. We had a great experience. Highly recommend for a casual yet memorable meal.

Once again, a delicious meal at Neir's Tavern. This time we went for brunch. Besides the great live jazz duo, the food was delicious. I ordered the Madame Croquette, an item limited to the brunch menu. It was delicious. My husband ordered the breakfast burger, also delicious. He topped it off with an order of hot, fresh pretzels, soft enough to break and dunk into his honey mustard dip. Each brunch comes with a free drink, another great feature of brunch. We ordered the mimosa and aperol spritz. Definitely a must visit place. Dine once, and you will be back!

My best friend and I stopped here for a very needed girls night after a longgggg work day and it was such a vibe! The atmosphere was perfect—great energy, music that set the mood, and a trendy yet chill setting. We tried a little bit of everything since we read the reviews and settled for the jerk chicken, tacos and wings, and the curry goat. Every dish was REALLLLLLY GOOD. The jerk chicken had a lot of flavor and wasn’t too spicy which we liked, the tacos and wings wad a good starter, the curry goat was tender and delicious. The drinks were trendy and tasty—definitely a highlight of the night. Whether you’re out with your bestie or just want good food and drinks, this spot won’t disappoint. We’ll absolutely be back.

Ordered our go to, Calamari and Spicy Sausage Pizza which was excellent. Tried the Penne with Skirt Steak, highly recommend it.
