Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Greenpoint

Service is impeccable. Tea is pricey but a lovely experience especially at the holidays. Worth the splurge

The food was great and the service was excellent thanks to a lovely server with a great personality and lots of suggestions.

Our meal was very good. We only had a party of two, which is a bit of a challenge for a restaurant where food is served family-style. For most people, an entree can easily serve two people. If you are light eaters, perhaps even three. We shared a chicken scalloping in lemon butter sauce ($32). The chicken was very tender, and the sauce was good enough to dip bread in. The dish also had a bed of sautéed spinach below the chicken. We also shared a mixed greens salad ($30) which was HUGE. It could easily serve 4 people. The salad was a nice mixture of greens with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, pepperoncinis, and olives in their house Italian dressing. My only complaint is why they would put pitted olives in a salad. Not that hard to pick out and eat individually, but it would be possible to scoop one up with some lettuce and bite into it without knowing. The servers seemed to work very hard, though the number of tables they had meant it was a tad slow. The vibe was very good, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We will definitely keep Carmine’s on our list for future New York trips, especially if we are in groups larger than two.

I cannot describe what a perfect afternoon my fiancée and I had at Nubeluz yesterday! The place is absolutekly beautiful, food is amazing, and the service was just impeccable!! We got engaged yesterday and our day was even more special because of Nubeluz. Thank you SO MUCH! I will never forget that day, and we will always go back.

U remains the most stand out restaurant in all of Brooklyn. The food is next to none, you are immediately made to feel at home and the communal seating ensures you’ll make friends you may have otherwise never interacted with. U forever!!
