First off, I'm a huge fan of a prix fix or set menu because it makes it easier for the restaurant and it's nice to have food that you know was intentionally picked based on season or occasion. In addition to that, the ambiance of this place is fantastic, down to the lighting, decor, and the communal layout. I had a reservation for the $25 brunch, which included a mushroom cheese quiche slide, salad, pickled radish and then a second sweet course of vanilla rice pudding with bosc pear slices. I also added on a double shot of espresso, which was made perfectly. The food was homey and comforting and the service was excellent. The only reason this was 4 stars not 5 was simply because the food was not filling enough for a brunch meal, and I don't even eat large portions. Otherwise, I did enjoy the food and experience, and may return for the dinner because I assume that, for $50, it will be hearty and filling.
I've rated the restaurant with 2 stars due to its excessive pricing (110$ p/p) and lack of spice disclosure in the menu, which unfortunately resulted in an unpleasant surprise for me as I dislike cinnamon. This spice unexpectedly appeared in two out of the four courses and was strangely added on a lamb dish as well as a pumpkin ice cream there both disappointed me and my friends. Additionally being allergic to cinnamon it made it impossible for me to enjoy the main course and dessert and made it feel like a waste.
One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. The food, ambiance, and staff are out of this world. You truly get to have the best time because you don't have to make any choices. Their melon gazpacho was the best thing I ate and I'm so sad I will probably never have it again. truly a once in a lifetime meal every time you go. The place is so cozy and you might end up sitting with other people you have never met (like a really dinner party!) The chef comes out at the end and speaks about the inspiration, process, and meal. Chef's kiss!
The best meal I’ve had in New York! Makes you nostalgic of home cooked dinners. The ambience, service, and food were all perfect. They made my birthday so special.
Great communal dining experience! You get a four course meal and get to sit with other guests. Note: if you have a gluten allergy, this may not be the best place for you to eat… we put in our resy that one member had a gluten allergy and they were not prepared.
I never leave reviews, but Dinner Party has to be celebrated. I’ve been multiple times now, and I absolutely love that I get to try something new every time due to their weekly rotating prix fixe menu. Even if it means I won’t get to reorder some of my favorites, I have a new favorite every time I leave. (Tip: they almost always have shrubs, which are the best drinks of all time). I’m consistently shocked at the amount of inventive, fresh ingredients the chefs incorporate into every meal and how they manage to keep the prices reasonable - and stable - week after week. As a prix fixe, it’s an experience. The time in between courses gives you a chance to soak in the super home-y decor and catch up with friends (or make new ones if you end up seated with some strangers). Somehow, the meal ends up being the perfect size every time - even if I’m skeptical during the first course, I’ve seriously never left hungry. Lastly, everyone on the staff is super friendly and amazing, and they really make you feel like you’re just joining some friends for a dinner party (friends who are really, really good at cooking). I literally moved to Fort Greene because this restaurant made me fall in love with the neighborhood. Maybe that should’ve been the full review…
This is a wonderful lunch/brunch spot in Fort Greene. The vibe is very cozy and the servers are attentive and friendly. You pay a fixed price for 3ish dishes + dessert, which was an awesome deal. I recommend ordering a side of cured sausage (reminds me of Filipino longanisa!) with your plate. The meal is adequately filling but I can see how someone with a larger appetite might leave a little hungry still; there isn’t an additional a la carte menu in this case. Dessert wasn’t anything to write home about. Good wine selection! I recommend stopping by if you are in the area.
Quite a beautiful, cozy spot. I came here for brunch with my brother and it was phenomenal. We started off with an Irish soda scone and then had eggs in purgatory, a blood orange and arugula salad, and mushroom burrata toast. Everything was cooked beautifully and tasted so good! The atmosphere was also so nice and felt like you were sitting at a friend’s house. The staff were also so kind and attentive. Would recommend getting a reservation for brunch or dinner here!
Absolutely incredible meal from start to finish. The service was excellent. we started with the burrata which was unreal, then they brought each main we ordered our one by one for us to share like it was different courses and I absolutely loved it. T
