Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Gowanus

I chose here to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. We had a great time at Bondst. We got big eye tuna tarts Grilled octopus Spicy crab crispy rice (last time we had tuna crispy rice) Omakase (8pc) which was the best best All of the dishes were amazing! At last we had dessert and treats on the house, which made our hearts warm. Love this place, and will come back soon.

This is a great menu with great farm to table food. The beet salad tasted like the beets were just pulled from the ground. They were so fresh. I would’ve liked a little more lettuce with a beet salad and perhaps some goat cheese, but it was excellent. My friend and I shared the scallops and the halibut. The halibut was cooked to perfection and the scallops were so sweet and tender. We also had the cheesy mashed potatoes and those were divine. They paired well with our entrées as well. The crème brûlée cheesecake with mandarin oranges was just superb. The oranges added a nice light touch to a very well done cheesecake. I would come here again in a heartbeat. Thank you craft for a lovely dinner.

Nice ambiance. Beautiful restaurant. Loved the vibes and the DJ. Food was mediocre in my opinion. Birthday dessert/celebrations overpriced. Most restaurants provide a free birthday dessert or at minimum the option for you to buy one with a candle or sparklers. I believe it was over $100 for a birthday dessert with champagne which is ridiculous.

We really enjoyed the chef's seasonal tasting menu. The smoked mushrooms were delicious and had a memorable presentation. The whole meal was a great experience, with the grilled meats cooked right at the table. Flavors were complex and everything cooked to perfection. Service was attentive. As other reviewers note, the view is fantastic and the dining space elegant. Small areas for improvement - would be ideal to clear away plates from each course before bringing the next course. Music was a little too loud and intrusive and detracted from the elegance of the environment.

Wonderful. Went on a Thursday evening after the holidays. Ate early because we were seeing an 8 pm opera. Beautiful space. Delicious food. Excellent cocktails. Friendly staff. Great service. Not cheap. However, there were fresh flowers and real candles on the table, and a live person playing the piano. Highly recommend it.
