What People Are Saying About Petite Crevette

The Scene – Owner Neil Ganic originally opened Petite Crevette in Brooklyn Heights as the casual little sister to La Bouillabaisse in Brooklyn Heights. After being closed for a few years, both restaurants have relocated to Carroll Gardens. The aqua-blue space, minimally decorated with antique lanterns and fish-themed art, is no bigger than a boat cabin--convenient for Ganic's loyal, mostly local fan base, who can read the single handwritten menu from anywhere in the restaurant. – – The Food – The daily-changing menu inspires instant devotion.

If you got the time and 2 bottles of wine.....

by Ladiesmantle

It was a wonderful little place for our nite out. We enjoyed the food...its byob and there is a wine shop around the corner with a nice selection.

The food was very good but waiting over an hour for an entree after finishing our apps was crazy..what was worse was when we asked if we would get our food soon the overly chill waiter dude replied ," I dont know". GREAT RESPONSE. Seriously its a great spot but have 2 bottles of vino and nowhere else to be if you go on a weekend nite. We kicked our bottle and had nothing to drink for the dinner that arrived almost an hour and 20 minutes after our apps!

Pros: Delish food, nice cozy romantic ambience
Cons: small kitchen, long wait, entree took over an hour on a Sat!

Best French food and Best Seafood in Brooklyn!

by sweets509

I went there for the first time for an early Friday night dinner. The restaurant itself is very unassuming from the outside and the location is hidden - it's tucked away on Hicks St right next to the BQE. I passed it by chance when I walking to Red Hook from Cobble Hill, and I would've never noticed it except I decided to walk on Hicks Street. We got there at 7PM and if was already getting crowded. Had delicious whole Branzino with fried oysters. I can honestly say it's probably one of my best dining experiences I've had in Brooklyn (food and service.) Compliments to the chef! Very nice waiter - attentive and friendly and the seafood was excellent. Decor added to the experience - it was very eclectic and rustic - lots of different decorations of fish. I will definitely come back! At LEAST once a month!
