Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Ditmas Park

Joe Allen is always a great experience. We frequently enjoy brunch here prior to seeing a Broadway matinee. The staff is top notch. Kudos to Devon! He is a top-notch and professional waiter, anticipating our needs and not rushing us through our meal. He should be on Broadway, as he is funny, witty, clever, and incredibly friendly. Devon definitely added to our experience. The food is delicious. Everything on the menu is five star. The coffee is delicious and plentiful. Our group of six enjoyed salads, eggs Benedict, hamburgers, sides, drinks, and everything was prepared perfectly. The atmosphere also adds to the meal. Beautiful setting and the art on the walls is a hoot.  Highly recommended.

This place is one of my favorites before a show. Consistently delicious and so well prepared. Staff are always attentive and helpful. I love everything about this place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a relaxed polished vibe that begs me to stay, relax, and have that extra glass of wine. Do not skip on dessert and coffee.

Exceptional wait staff, very obliging in assisting us in choosing a wine. Guests all loved their food. Spouse felt the salmon was the best ever. I had a gluten-free pasta dish and was disappointed. Would go back.

Deniz welcomes diners with a vibrant, friendly neighborhood vibe. The service and the culinary offerings are fabulous! I will certainly return when I am back in Brooklyn.

Great casual atmosphere. A bit noisy but not overwhelming. Food very good and service excellent.
