Best Historic Restaurants in Cobble Hill

The food and service were outstanding, and the space itself is just gorgeous. Our only problem was that we could barely hear each other across the table, and I was literally hoarse the next morning from shouting to my companions. Boy is that big back room loud.

This was our favorite spot during our 5 day trip, our first to NYC. Our 3 kids (12, 8, 7) loved every bit of this experience - from the food to the vibe. Don’t miss this great spot, 12/10 and they’ve already asked to go back tomorrow!

My kids (9 and 11) took the lead on this brunch review. They insisted we need to add it to our NY rotation. My son was especially appreciative of the cookie with the candle at the end for his birthday. The grown ups loved it too, food, view, vibe and service.

I normally wouldn't leave Ft. Greene for a restaurant, but this Mexican place had dairy free/gluten free (assuming you can have pure corn). Ruta Oaxaca really decorated so fabulous for Valentine's Day. They printed the specials menu on paper with hearts. This graphic designer appreciates these extras. Then they had a special pink mescal drink for the day and an alcohol-free Corona. There were other alcohol-free drinks on the menu but they were sold out. Sweet, but not cloying so (unless you eat the candy decoration they put in it). They put together a special Valentine's day menu. I had the chicken breast sitting in sauce made of delicious black beans, corn and Mexican black mole sauce. I love black mole so I was in heaven. My wife had verde chicken enchiladas and was equally pleased. We had tea and then got a box for the leftovers. We'll definitely be back. Ruta Oaxaca, please put a chicken & mole dish with cheese optional on the regular menu!

The burger was FANTASTIC! The pizza was delicious! 10/10!
