Best Family Style Restaurants in Bay Ridge

Excellent for a group, especially near Time Square. Lively atmosphere, helpful and friendly service team.

The best stuffed artichoke and baked clams to order. Food always on point with delicious flavors.

Brasserie Le Mistral A delightful Sunday brunch awaits at Brasserie Le Mistral. Upon entering, you're greeted by a warm, ambient atmosphere, complemented by a charming trio singing softly in the background. The friendly service enhances the dining experience, making you feel right at home. The escargot is a standout—excellently prepared and full of flavor. The perfectly cooked salmon, with a crispy exterior and tender inside, is another highlight. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this French bistro is a must-visit for a relaxing and memorable brunch. Highly recommended! Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Café Mars is my favorite restaurant. We came for the Global Italian: Chicago event thinking "This could be fun." We left having had the best meal we've had in recent memory. Every dish was interesting and drop-everything delicious. The cocktails were terrific, complex, and very silly. Service was friendly, fun, and responsive. And little touches galore (a welcome taste of wine/kombucha, multicolored glassware, etc.) that make this place stand out. Overall, these folks are having fun with a restaurant in a way that is really, deeply admirable. There's a thoughtfulness and sense of play here that is so rare and special. Everyone owes it to themselves to have a meal or three here. It truly bears repeating: Café Mars is my favorite restaurant.

Had a great time for brunch. Beautiful decor! Our server was great and we will definitely return soon.
