21 Greenpoint

The service was pretty good, the food was mostly great, the ambience was the biggest detractor for me. Too loud and too busy—but that’s not really under control of the staff. The -1 star is because the crispy artichokes were WAY too salty and the saffron aioli that came with, though good, didn’t pair well with the artichokes at all. The focaccia was incredible - a must get. The sauce it comes with is kind of like a red pepper paste vinaigrette and I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it but it was great. The bread was also good dipped into the saffron aioli. The chicken was super moist and well cooked with an excellent crispy skin and tons of garlic. All around a good experience!

Such an awesome gem in Greenpoint. Had a delicious brunch today. So much flavor and and staff was exceptionally cheerful and made great suggestions. The warm pancake with blueberries is heavenly. Highly recommend. Ask to sit outside if weather permits. Owner is super nice and came to our table which made experience even better.

One of the best hidden gems in Greenpoint! The food is always top notch, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is warm and lively. 21 Greenpoint is our favorite place for date night, 10/10 would recommend! Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, get the focaccia and burger because they never disappoint.

This place is truly one of our ride or dies. There’s always something new happening with the menu, the cocktails are great, the staff is super friendly and best of all, the interior is gorgeous. Come here for a early drink at happy hour and stay until 11pm. Our favorite time to head here is Saturday afternoons when you can really hang, chat with the bartender and enjoy the vibes.

Brooklyn has so many new and interesting restaurants opening up everywhere, it is not easy to keep up. The name of the restaurant is the address of the restaurant, makes it easy to find and to remember. It was pretty packed, and seemed rather small. They had a bar right at the entry, and very small amount of seating... But, we discovered they actually have more seating in the back with bigger tables! The back room was very nice and cozy, quiet and relaxing. Well, until this room got filled up. We ordered a few items since we were all hungry. We got a Special Pizza of the Day, which was white pizza with mozzarella, permesan, and pepperoni. It had quite the punch from the chili flakes, good and spicy! We also ordered a Market Fish, which was Scottish trout. The fish was very much like salmon. It had great mix of fish and sweet watermelon! The last item we ordered was Pork Chop New York. The pork chops was nothing like I imagined, and quite tasty! The meat was packed with flavor with perfect amount of seasoning. For dessert, we asked what the “Seasonal Cobbler” is, and we were told it is apple and pear. It came out piping hot, rather small but since we were full, that was ok. It had some rosemary that added aroma and flavor which was quite pleasant. It was not too herb-y but just enough. I was used to getting ice cream with cobbler in the past, but their cobbler does NOT come with ice cream. So, we added order of ice cream as well. We chose Vanilla and Blueberry Olive Oil ice cream. The ice cream came out first, and it took a while for the cobbler to come out. So about the time the cobbler finally reached our table, the ice creams were gone… The service was good and friendly. We were taken care of nicely, felt welcomed in a relaxing atmosphere. It was a good find on the restaurant, with good food and service. The price point is rather high, though.

Called to make reservations and the guy on the other was incredibly polite. Who ever seated us, also polite and welcoming. The server was attentive and knowledgeable. Service was beyond great. Food was very good, not earth shattering, but very good. The shrimp ceviche I found tasted too much like olive oil. I wouldn’t get that again or recommend it. I got the pork for dinner and I thought it was really good. My girlfriend got the tagliatelle. It needed salt but otherwise good. The drinks were really good. Really good. Overall, nice local spot that I would definitely go back. The bar next door is also a good place to check out
