   Ambience was nice, modern space tall ceiling with some quirky artwork. Service was good, attentive and knowledgable server. Popcorn as opposed to bread with your drinks was nice and a bit different from the norm. We both had burgers with fry’s that were good but just good for a burger in the USA is not good enough. What really got me was 2 burgers, 1 coke, a beer and a glass of ok red wine, $75. Burger needs ( to use an American word) to be awesome. It wasn’t and then the price so left feeling a bit ripped off.

   Lively, fun place. Feels alive. Food & service was great. Good place for a girls night out, but will also bring my husband to check it out. Will return.

   Brooklyn Girl overall is good always. The only issue we have is that there's hardly a fish selection on menu once in a while they have a Branzino that is amazing, but that's rare. I guess we just go there too often!

   This was exactly what we were looking for. Nice atmosphere, good food, not very noisy, a great waiter (Dave, I think?). We had a corner table and were able to hold a nice conversation with friends, which is what we we looking for.

   This is one of my favorite places to celebrate special occasions. The wait staff are very friendly and always smiling, even if they are a little harried at times. I prefer the summer menu because it has more seafood selections, but the rotating seasonal menus keep things interesting. Definitely try this place if you are visiting San Diego or have friends visiting.

    Ambiance, asthetics and good were great! Our server/waiter was a little abrupt. He took me drink order and didn’t take my friends. Then he took my friends food order and not mine. The service experience was strange. Overall the experience was good. I would definitely give it another try

    Nice place with a local feel. Understated hip. Tremendous oyster bar if you like oysters. Cute neighborhood and nice place to hang with friends. Nice wines by the glass-- overall a place with good food and good people.

    This was my first visit and my husband and I went for a late valentine’s dinner. Service was on point! We ordered the special menu salad (pear, fig, and greens) which was sooo good! We also had the roasted carrots - delicious curry sauce. For our main dishes we had the shrimp and asparagus risotto (special menu) and the steak. Carrot cake finished us off and was fabulous. Ooh can’t forget the little popcorn appetizer to start...it’s free and made me so happy while we waited for our food!

    Really disappointed with this place. Had reservations for 5:45 Sunday evening the last night of Restaurant Week. The place was a bit busy but we walked past at least 5-6 empty tables. One of the drinks we ordered was a Cafe Mocha with a shot of Kaluah. Our server said he would try and get it but according to them “the last time we were kinda busy coffee drinks were taking 30 minutes”. My drink is Scotch up so no problem there. The coffee arrived first. We were surprised but all good at this point. The appetizers came out about 20 minutes later, you know soup and salad take awhile to perpare. Meanwhile, the restaurant is now full and we were waiting for entree’s. And we waited,and waited, and waited more. The server came over and explained “unfortunately your order went in after some larger parties so it’s taking awhile “. This really didn’t sit well since I always thought restaurants were first come first served. They said it was so busy because of Restaurant Week and “everyone is getting three courses”. We left without having dinner about 7:30. I can’t say what the problem was but my bet is they can’t handle the pressure of “SDRW”.

    In searching possible options for Restaurant Week stumbled across Brooklyn Girl. The atmosphere, decor, and layout is great. Very spacious with high ceilings, yet there is a strong cozy and intimate vibe. There were references to New York/Brooklyn throughout that were subtle and blended with modern and almost a shabby chic aesthetic, i.e. wood desktop tables, desk chairs with spray painted PS 16 on the chair back and classic subway tile in different places. Our waiter was exceptionally efficient, attentive, and nice. Instead of bread or chips each table get a bowl of popcorn. We ignored the popcorn because we were slightly confused by its uniqueness, but more so because we were engrossed in catching up with our friend and the details of their pending move. The menu had several appeal dishes which peaked my interest more than the prie fix of restaurant week. My partner landed on the spaghetti with a meatball. Looked comforting and elegant upon arrival and i managed to negotiate a try, lol, melt in your mouth. Our friend opted for the salmon which came on a bed of either red rice or quinoa, we never did figure it out, and this sauce that they raved about. I had my eye on the shrimp pasta dish. Very delicious with panchetta and a wine lemon sauce that was tart and devine, my biggest disappointment though was that i felt i had to deep dive to locate the shrimp. There were shrimp pieces and not whole shrimp, that was the disappointment. For the cost of the dish, the shrimp ratio was insufficient Back to the popcorn. So dinner ends and our plates are attentively cleared by the amicable staff and as we deliberate dessert we end up trying the popcorn. WoW. What were we thinking to not have tried it sooner. It was flavor burst of joy in the mouth. I would definitely return as i truly liked it and would love to try several of their dishes and likely do brunch.

    Food was delicious and some dishes were pretty original alongside some classics. Portions are gigantic so the 3-course restaurant week menu was a little too much but leftovers were just as good the next day. Will go again!

    Brooklyn Girl is one of my very favorite restaurants in San Diego, and a perfect place to get together with friends. The food and drinks are creative and delicious, service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is lively but not noisy. This was my first time for brunch (usually go for happy hour or dinner) and everything was excellent. You can’t go wrong!

    I was here for brunch a couple years ago and it was fabulous. This time I was underwhelmed. Food was OK, not great. Service was abysmal. Over a half hour to get drinks which arrived after our food. They were short staffed and tried hard, but they could have called in some extra help.

    Brooklyn Girl continues to be one of our favorites, well worth the drive from North County. Its extensive and varied menu never disappoints and the food has always been consistently good. We think they have the best pork chop in town, and we appreciate the very reasonable wine prices.

    We came to see and hear a band that a friend was the drummer. Decided to have dinner and dessert. The salad and pizza were great, not so much the dessert. Enjoyed the live music. The bad was great with a good choice of music. Nice place for special occasion.

    There was no wait, the food was good, and the service was great. The only thing that I could complain about is that they did not have any substitutions for vegetarians. They had soyrizo on the menu, but would not let me use it as a substitute. So that was kind of annoying, but the food was good without it. I’d go back!
