Best Family Style Restaurants in Carroll Gardens

The food and service were outstanding, and the space itself is just gorgeous. Our only problem was that we could barely hear each other across the table, and I was literally hoarse the next morning from shouting to my companions. Boy is that big back room loud.

We come to BondSt now once a year for my wife's birthday, or around her birthday, since around 2017 or so. Without fail, every year is an unforgettable experience - like we are experiencing the magic of the counter for the first time. Thank you!

Kimmy was the best! I had friends coming from out of town and she was super patient in helping them choose what to eat with specific dietary restrictions they had. She also was attentive and friendly! Food was delicious and would definitely come again.

Cafe Mars was AMAZING. The service was so personal and attentive and kind. The food was BOMB. The pasta with Sunday sauce and breaded trumpet mushrooms were real stand-outs. Best meal and overall dining experience I’ve had in a long time.

We and the misses have never experienced Lebanese cuisine prior to our Valentine’s Day (2025) visit, and Ilili did not disappoint! It was also our first time having caviar, truffles, tuna tartare and everything tasted simply divine. The courses were well paced and the choices were abundant, but not overwhelming.
