Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Prospect Lefferts Gardens

I’ve been eating at Frankie’s for years. Dining here was one of reasons I moved to Brooklyn. Last night I was asked to leave before we finished our bottle of wine because they had reservations coming. It felt a little sad. Times have changed. Once upon a time it was cool. No longer. Don’t linger we have business to do. Turn em and burn em. Your food is still great and I love your olive oil. My olive oil will never ask me to leave the table before I’m finished. Neither would Nonna. Arrivaderci Frankies.

It’s always a pleasure to dine at the River Cafe. It’s the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion!! We had the privilege to be seated in the area served by the excellent captain Bernie. He is friendly, attentive, and professional!!

The service and prices were great. We had the calamari and a pizza with Prosciutto arugula. We also ordered the special app of the day, burratta and peaches. However, they served it with apples instead. It was good but we said something to the waiter. He went back to he kitchen and said the chef never uses apples. Only peaches. Hilarious bc we had apples on our plate. Skin and all. Again. It was ok. We ate it. They did take it off the bill even though we never asked them. But ridiculous that even when clearly staring an apple in the face, they wouldn't admit it wasn't a peach. We got a good laugh out of it.

The food was absolutely delicious, with the creamiest pastas and delicious chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I did find the restaurant too loud, especially because it is quite small. Overall a great place!

You can never not have a great experience at Patrizias, especially in Williamsburg..Oscar is the best there is, food is always on point!!!
