Best Family Style Restaurants in Bay Ridge

Cafe Mars was AMAZING. The service was so personal and attentive and kind. The food was BOMB. The pasta with Sunday sauce and breaded trumpet mushrooms were real stand-outs. Best meal and overall dining experience I’ve had in a long time.

It was a very busy Valentine’s Day and the staff did well keeping up. It did lack its usual personal touch but the food compensated. The “Amore” singing was a very nice holiday touch.

CLASSIC brasserie. If you like the timely dishes of steak au poivre, mussels, duck, etc. this is the THE place in the neighborhood. The ambience was perfect and the service was great. Saw lots of regulars come in and the staff knew everyone by name. Highly recommend.

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

Had a great time for brunch. Beautiful decor! Our server was great and we will definitely return soon.
