Restaurants near Brooklyn Common Shopping Center

The presentation of the food is first class. I’m not an adventurous eater but I always find something on the menu that I like. Today I tried the filet mignon with marrow and the crisp lobster roll. The filet was done perfectly and the lobster with avocado was a taste combo I would never think to pair, but was outstanding! DJ got a little rowdy on us. The music was better suited to a dance club. Great tunes but too loud to allow dinner conversation. Service was perfection and I think we had a total of 5 waiters buzzing about like bees refilling the water glasses, asking how the meal was, etc. Just now I realize that it is a similar feeling that I get on cruises in the main dining hall. You’ve got one guy seating you, another guy getting you bread and water, another one taking drink orders, etc. Very attentive but not intrusive. The prices are high, as one would expect from a fine dining establishment, but probably worth it, based on the quality of the food and the visible effort that had to have gone into it. I would consider this restaurant any time I was celebrating something special.

Michael Jordan's never disappoints. It was my husbands birthday & he loves MJ, so we drove an hour or so for dinner. He had the grilled octopus for an app & the NY strip. I had the wedge salad (the best !) & filet lollipops. The lollipops were an app but there was alot of meat. Everything was excellent. Our server was attentive & helpful with questions we had. My husband had the baked alaska for dessert. Another reason we keep coming back. I don't know another restaurant that has it. Overall, great food cooked perfectly & great service. Thank you !!

Although in a Casino, Ballo's is definitely a refined, lovely respite from the gambling areas. Never rushed, no hustle bustle - even in busiest (Holiday) times. We are seniors and use points and perks and save them just for the purpose of using them at Ballo for all of our special occasions - birthdays, holidays and our anniversary!! The servers are always well versed, friendly, social and attentive to one's needs/wants. My husband must use a walker and everyone has always been so accommodating and helpful. And, most important, of course, is the food - which is always wonderful. Never, ever have we been disappointed. Thank you.

Christmas Eve Brunch. Huge selection of breakfast & luncheon dishes. Omelets, Waffles & Pastas made to order. Beautiful, creative sweets. Service was attentive. Our favorites were the Eggs Benedict, Breakfast Sausage, & Pancakes. Will definitely consider returning for the Weekend Brunch.

Great and friendly service, excellent food, with a cozy ambiance.
