Best Family Style Restaurants in Carroll Gardens

Really good food, but a bad experience with service

Been here a handful times before and have always had an amazing experience. However, this time, I was made to wait 30 minutes for an already later 915pm reservation, and was offered to “grab a drink at the bar” that was overly packed with absolutely 0 room to stand and would’ve taken another 20+ mins for me to get my drink. why the hell would I spend more money when you can’t properly manage your tables? That said, I’ll be back again lmao. Just do better.

Great food and service. A little noisy but the atmosphere was energetic. Kelly and Carlos personable, professional and communicative. A very pleasant evening.

Cafe Mars is one of my favorite spots. There’s so much whimsy in each dish and the food always blows me away. It’s a spot I love to share with friends who love good and memorable food.

What a special night. My wife and I were celebrating an anniversary and we were looking for something with great food and a cool vibe. Cathedral didn’t disappoint with either. What an incredible space there’s nothing like it in the city. And the food was awesome. He started with the Epe baguette which was the best bread I’ve had in years and the drippings and butter were wow! We then had a famous potato chip omelette with caviar which was delicious and a real treat. We also shared the lobster salad, which was fantastic. We had a lot of trouble settling on our main, but we opted because it was a special occasion for bouliabase for 2 . It was served table side, and it was absolutely mind blowing ; all the fish were delicious and the broth and special croutons really unique. We also had a great bottle of reasonably priced Amarone recommended by Sommelier . We will definitely be back soon and not waiting for a special occasion.
