Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Crown Heights

Amazing food with even better service! Love that there are great gluten free options.

We had received a gift certificate to your lovely restaurant from a cherished relative who knows we are both foodies. We occasionally dine out in Manhattan but have been disappointed with overly precious and pretentious restaurants. We have to admit we were a bit skeptical because your establishment looked so on trend. Boy, were we surprised. Thanks to the supremely gracious wait staff and superb food we were chastened that we had any doubts. We are an older couple and were afraid we would be overlooked for trendier diners. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although the food and presentation were the stars of the show, kudos to our server Vanessa, who made our evening. She was the perfect balance of genuinely friendly and attentive but unobtrusive. It was like dining with friends. The other servers were delightful also. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a dinner out as much. This restaurant certainly has it all together. May you have many more years of success. We will be returning!

Amazing food as always. I’ve been coming to the Tamarind for over 15 years and it never disappoints.

I was really surprised at how good this place was, being as no one I know had ever really heard of it. It is a Gem to be sure. We were able to get a table for 5 at 7pm on a Friday a week or so in advance, which made me wonder why...but everything was delicious! To start we shared burrata, octopus, cauliflower and tune tartar - all were fantastic especially the cauliflower. Mains were the tagliatelle with bolognese (best Ive had maybe?), cacio pepe (great), branzino (weakest link but still fine) and the pork chop milanese (brilliant). The budino for dessert was terrific. Service was tough to do well in the noise, but the pace was great, the service squad moving like a machine, and the guests all seemed to be having a great time. Prices were not silly. No question we will go back - and you should try it if you havent.

Had a great time. Food and drinks delicious. Musician very good and got the place hopping.
