Best Restaurants for People Watching in Bay Ridge

Never disappoints! Been going there for ears when we are in the City from Louisiana.

Polite attentive service Well prepared and tasty food. Great setting

We got there about 45 minutes early for our wedding anniversary dinner and were seated within 15 minutes. Food was great, beautiful aesthetic, server helpful and friendly. Usually venues do provide some sort of celebratory dessert or plate with a wish on it and we did not receive such an item, so that was a bit disappointing even though we had put the occasion in the booking information on OpenTable. Other than that, it was a lovely but chilly evening! We did order the three course meal, which was a good value.

My daughter and I loved sitting at Cecconi’s and watching the East River flow with the Manhattan skyline as the background. View aside, the food was delicious, creative twists on Italian classics. The salads were fresh, pasta perfectly cooked and portions ample. Our waiter was very attentive, all of the staff pleasant. We will go again as she lives nearby. Plus, it is a charming part of Dumbo. 5 Stars!! 🌟

The food was excellent. Service was fine, pleasant, timely, unobtrusive. The single problem--and the only reason I'd think twice about going back--was the noise. Absolutely deafening--and not from loud music--the acoustics in the place, high ceiling, hard surfaces. We ate early--615 and by midmeal, we, the waiters, and everyone in the restaurant, were shouting to be heard (4 people).
