Best Cozy Restaurants in Brooklyn

This is the 3rd time I’ve dined at Ammoora and I was not disappointed. Dining here is an amazing experience from the time you enter the restaurant and are greeted by the hostess. There were three of us and we ordered multiple appetizers, main courses and desserts. The starters included an order of hummus and warm pita bread. I have it’s the best hummus I’ve ever eaten. All the main courses were amazing. The most amazing was the fall of the bone short rib. I had the kofta kebabs I highly recommend. Our server was exceptional. Gigi was very professional and was extremely helpful explaining the menu. If you have a chance and want to try Syrian cuisine, look no further than Ammoora.

First time at Cooper Shark and it was an excellent experience. Brunch was delicious and we’ll definitely be back!

What a terrific brunch. It's something Hersh's does only three times a year (I'm told), so pay attention to their media feed and jump. Drinks, food and Pepe's clam pizza!

The overall experience was great. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and is by the water. The server was attentive and personable. She had good menu knowledge and offered recommendations. The food was tasty and well presented. Food service was timely and competitively priced. I only have one suggestion on the food. I would upgrade the quality of the ribeye. The steak was by no means bad but I would have preferred a better quality steak.

Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.
