a brooklyn birthday party 7/15/2006

We went to Superfine for my 25th birthday and had such an amazing time. The wine selection was superb and the staff was very attentive (we had called ahead a few days since we would be a big group). One thing to know about this restaurant---the menu changes daily, which I love. Everyone really enjoyed their food. Its the kind of restaurant where you won't get in and out in under an hour, but you will have such a good time while you are there you won't notice! I also noticed this restaurant was recently included in a new Emily Griffen novel called ""Babyproof."" Pros: fun atmosphere, fresh and delicious food Cons: you should have a reservation if going at a prime weekend hour (not necessarily a con!) more

excellent seafood; dreadfully slow service 4/18/2006

came here on a sunday night -- cute, hip setting in renovated warehouse. the seafood is extremely fresh and delicious: try the grilled shrimp, grilled squid, and catches of the day. the pork chop and burger were really dry and bland, though. the wait staff is friendly but WAY UNDER STAFFED (looked like only 2 chefs in the kitchen) -- we waited almost 50 minutes for our apps and nearly 1 1/2 hours for our entrees. it's really not the waitstaff/chefs' fault -- it's just that management needs to put more people on duty for prime time hours. Pros: amazing seafood Cons: service painfully slo, weak drinks more

Fine by Me 1/17/2006

I had a friend who had her 4-0 b-day celebration there and we had a great time. It was a nice size and everybody was sociable. Met some DUMBO neighbors and they were fun as well. Would come from thr Bronx to do it again! more

I take my out of town visitors to superfine 11/11/2005

The food here is fabulous and the prices are decent. everything I've had has been very good and fresh. At the bar i had a delicious burger with home made fries. For brumch the huervos rancheros, for dinner usually a steak. They use local ingredients and they know what they're doing in the kitchen. I can't comprehend reviewers who say they staff has an attitude. In new york, you simply have to smile and say hello to someone, and they will acknowlege you. but if you treat them like they are waiter / waitress robots and don't look them in they eye then maybe they will treat you that way! The service is only slow when they are over crowded. Blue grass brunch is an experience, make reservations and go this weekend. after bruch hang around and have a beer. Pros: atmosphere, art on walls, coll staff more

Overpriced? Hardly. 8/10/2005

I've read other uses complain that Superfine is a bit pricey. Well, I can tell you that coming from Manhattan, Superfine's prices are a welcome change! My husband and I ate dinner there last weekend and the food was very good, and very reasonably priced, we thought. He ordered spaghettini with sausage, and at $13, it seemed a bagain; in Manhattan some DINERS charge that much for pasta. Not to mention, the bowl was literally brimming with their homemade sausage -- they didn't skimp at all! I had the grilled shrimp and scallops which was served with lentils and bok choy. It was a little bit more expensive at $19, but it was a good size portion, and so fresh! They obviously use the best ingredients, and considering that, they manage to keep prices down! The ambiance is also really cool! It's a fun spot. Pros: Very fresh food, Reasonable prices Cons: A little noisy more

One of NYC's Best-Kept Secrets 2/21/2005

Superfine is my preferred destination in the city when I'm looking for a casual, hip atmosphere, extraordinary food at decent prices and/or just a place to get a good drink, chat with the bartender and shoot some (free) pool. The food is simple, sophisticated and unbelievably good. Their everchanging menu, which always features a stellar and exotic grilled fish, is small but exquisitely done. Prices are reasonable, and they serve some of the best fries in town. The crowd is generally thirty-something, alternative/artsy types who have moved beyond the silly W'burg scene and have learned how to dress. It's one of the few places in town where people of varied sexual orientations and races mix and mingle, which makes it an oasis in the Bantustan-like world of NYC bars and clubs. Pros: Hip but casual, Great food, Good value Cons: Crowded on weekends, A bit of a trek more

love this place! 7/9/2004

how have i not written a review yet? i love this place! it is truly the best looking bar in brooklyn- what an awesome space- vast, smart, chic but not annoyingly trendy. the menu changes daily which is awesome but is slightly overpriced. drink prices are great though. the service varies- sometimes very snotty and too cool, other times more friendly and sweet. a great staple though. im very happy its in the neighborhood. Pros: ambience, drink prices, FOOD more

Fine. Super fine. 4/20/2004

Large space, exposed brick with a pseudo-1950 ""thing"" going ... a bit like one of the sets from the movie DIVA. Very pleasant looking bar area and a lounge area with free pool. The restaurant area is a few steps up and towards the back. Attentive service (I've never had my water glass filled so frequently) and surprisingly good food. The menu changes daily. The red lentil soup was excellent (wasn't actually red, but what do I know), the cheese plate was diverse and tasty, the ""Greens"" turned out to be a wonderful salad with chicken perfectly grilled -- not a bit dry. Good portions. The wine list didn't look all that great, but there was a very interesting selection of beers on tap. Noisy, but not overpoweringly so. Will definitely go back -- if only to shoot pool and see what new ideas the chef has had. Pros: Reasonably priced, Free pool, Nice bar more

superfine works. 1/18/2004

i am hooked. any day of the week...any event in need of meeting ...superfine is the place. a loyal patron for nearly a year now.. i have come to a place where i fully trust the powers of superfine -great food, great ambiance and incredible people- all the while guranteed to keeping the above diverse and spontaneous. in so many ways this place works. many of my business meetings i have at superfine during the weekdays because of the prompt service and food-(burgers are phenomenal!). dinners in the evening are always elegant and warm. sunday brunch is lively, satisfying and great for kids. some tips i have picked up is make reservations for dinner and brunch, try and sit at a different spot everytime you go -(simply for the interesting vistas) and remember to acclamate yourself to the charm and grace of this truly special place. more

AWESOME BAR 5/8/2003

My friend and I had a joint birthday gathering there on a Saturday night and it was the perfect space. No snooty lists, lines or bouncers but still plenty of other funky Brooklynites out. We all just took over the landing with the orange pool table and loungey couches. Very cool DJ played Classic Rock, Soul, Hip-Hop... It's a make your own dance floor kind ofdeal but the drinks are really reasonably priced. Couldn't find anything like this in Manhattan or Brooklyn... Pros: 1/2way bet. Mnht & Bk, lots of space, pool table & dj Cons: no dance floor more

Superhype 4/25/2003

Came highly recommended and did not live up to the hype. Spaced out servers took FOREVER to take our order after sticking us in the back sandwiched between the wait station and some spare furniture. Server gave us Polenta instead of Pork and then complained that's what she ""heard."" Unfriendly incompetent staff with attitude bordering on disdain for customers. If we wait forever AND you screw up, buy us a drink at least to keep us content! Pros: Good Food Cons: SERVICE more

Super Brunch 2/16/2003

Live Bluegrass music, good food, and prompt seating made this an easy choice for us and our 2 starving kids. Been there at nite- and it was sorta uncomfortable with the bright gallery lighting. Now, during the day, it's too dark! But so what- the food was great-service with a smile, and the band just put you in a good mood no matter what else was going on. Pros: child friendly, Bluegrass music!!, good food Cons: not enough food?, wierd lighting more

super lacking 1/24/2003

I also went to this restaurant based on the positive reviews here, but I found the food quite bland and not very tasty. The menu is limited so I opted for the jalapeno potato soup and a romaine salad. How can you go wrong with a salad, right? Ah. But the former was over-doused with lime while the latter was served in giant leaves of romaine lettuce with chunky slices of parmesan and barely any dressing. Unfortunately, the warm apple gallette dessert was burnt on the bottom as well. The service was great and friendly...too bad the waiters have to deal with the bland, unprepared food. Pros: good ambience, friendly service Cons: too bland, too far more

Not bad 10/21/2002

The breakfast burrito was excellent, and the other brunch choices seemed good too. But the service was absolutely terrible, and we watied 45 minutes for food. The best thing was the bluegrass band. Not bad but not as good as others seem to think. Pros: Live music, Reasonable prices, Spicy selections Cons: Bad service, Long wait for food more

Save a table for me... 10/15/2002

I have had dinner several times at this restaurant and I intend to keep going back. The food is consistently fresh and interesting. Every dish I've tried has been outstanding and I learned on my last visit that the vegetables are from the local farmer's market and all of the meats are free range. This place has become my favorite Brooklyn restaurant. Pros: Fresh Food, Changing Menu, Great Scene more

Superduperfine 7/2/2002

At the Farmers' Market in Brooklyn I got distracted by someone passing out strawberry rhubarb shortcake. Best shortcake I'd ever had. Find out it's the chef from Superfine. Why hadn't I checked them out before? Guess I figured they didn't have to work too hard cooking, 'cause there's not much competition down there. Now they can't get rid of me. The food was clean, fresh, perfectly prepared and I didn't have to go to the Farmers' Market to make it happen. The menu's small, but still accomodates the meat & potatoes types, my fish fetish and my vegetarian mother-in-law. Go early if you don't feel like hanging out for a bit. To make it this good you have to make it to order, so it's not fast food. They have a happening bar, a pool table and better than nod-to-the-neighborhood art to keep you busy. more
