    It was a long trip for us to get here, but it was worth it. It was so cozy, the food was delicious, the server was lovely, and the prices were reasonable

    The Duck Confit hash was fantastic! The ambience is a peaceful mix of Paris, Brooklyn and, somehow to me, Tokyo.

    We love this place. Every time we’re in Bed-Sty, we make it a point to eat here. The food is crazy good, the owner is enchanting, and you’re getting a “Manhattan meal at a Brooklyn price”. Do yourself a favor - go once. You’ll be back.

    This is one of our favorite places. The oysters were amazing. We ordered a dozen and had to go ahead and order an extra half dozen. Great champagne options at amazing prices! Mussels, fantastic! The fries were also perfect. Dip them in the broth. Delicious. The atmosphere is also great. Low lighting, great music. It was our Valentine Dinner but we went on Saturday. Perfect date night.
