“The formula -- Blue Ribbon has great food, a nice comfortable atmosphere and simply the best service perhaps in the city.”
dessert

“Following I indulged in their bread pudding which was ok, a little dry but the ice cream with it brought the dish together for a wonderful desert which I enjoyed with their Grahams 10yr Tawny and a shot of espresso.”
drinks

“They had a generator, and we had the raw bar and a great dessert and just a lovely time--and it had been pretty grim before.”
food quality
93%
“Overall, it's not a bad restaurant and the food is more good than bad, but it is not worth the price and the brooklyn location has the ambience of a dance club not the cute little french restaurant with a curtain that BRNYC has.”

Catfish!. Your food selection is fantastic! I have eaten here 4 or 5 times and have always enjoyed it. Street parking is a little tough, but this place is good. Anytime I mention Blue Ribbon, anyone who knows of it gives it accolades!

Your southern foods are really stick to the ribs good comfort food.

See you soon!

The worst experience ever.. Last night my wife and I went to Blue Ribbon in park slope. We arrived in New York 2 days ago and expected to have a nice bite and some easy ambience. A friend of mine, a Wall Street lawyer and a foodie recommended this spot. We weren't looking for the best food or service just a decent place for a pregnant woman and her husband.

We set at the bar, our favorite spot and I ordered beer from "Adam" that was quite friendly ; Then we ordered food.

We wanted to start with some appetizers before checking on the king crab as Adam recommended.

The beetroot salad was flavorless and had 3 cubes of tomato on top. The asparagus were blanched (cooked) probably at the same time we landed at JFK and the ribs, a plastic like dry pieces marinated and braised in an artificial flavor sauce were simply bad.

The highlight of our night was a drunken guy named Brian. The village full of Blue ribbon in Brooklyn. Apparently this guy is a usual at the bar. He set next to us and started talking to my wife. We were friendly until he became rude and obnoxious. (Asking my wife what was she doing with an "ugly guy" referring to me). We tried to be polite and Adam tried to get rid of this guy and was apologizing repeatedly. When he failed to get rid of this drunken fool he sent us OUR CHECK as if he wanted us out. The manager that was at the end of the bar babbling with some waiters did nothing. We decided to take off leaving the free desert that was sent to us at the bar. Don't go there! The food is less than average and the bar is a neighborhood spot for older, aggressive drunk locals

One of my fav places!. This is the best fish restaurant in Brooklyn. Everything is always fresh and delicious. If they told me the wait would be 2 hours I really would not care, this is how good this place is. For years now it has always kept its good reputation unlike a lot of places when they get a good name they than go down hill. It is a bit expensive but you get what you pay for!

Manhattan in Park Slope. This place is fun and exciting. The bar is lively and a great place for a single to snatch a bite and chat up the locals. The Seafood is always fresh and the oysters are perfect. I always yearn for whelk season and run right over for my share.

The salt and pepper shrimp are a bit of work pealing and all, but worth the effort. The foie Gras with challah bread is a rich and savory dish.
