Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Brooklyn

Great restaurant. It took 25 min to get seated with a reservation

I’ve been to verde many times and had a great experience. Went with my partner on Valentine’s Day and had a bad experience with the service, although the food was great as always. My partner and I were seated at a small table by the front door, which I think led to our waitress to forget about us multiple times. Our whole stay was 2.5 hours, way longer than it should have been. The Valentine’s Day menu was a 3-course meal with a limited pizza selection on the back. I asked the waitress to see the full menu to select a pizza from the main menu for my 3 course meal (Which, by the way, the Valentine’s Day menu said you could do!) and the waitress declined with an obnoxious “NO” in a very rude fashion, which was very off-putting. I will be at verde again in the future as it’s a great pizza spot, but never again on a major holiday like Valentine’s Day.

We are repeat visitors to True Chesapeake, their oysters are incredible. But this meal was our best yet. Our server was excellent, very professional and efficient. Drinks and food items were delicious, and well-paced. We never felt rushed or delayed. An unexpected touch was a table side visit from the owner who stopped by to check on our experience. When he learned that our visit had special meaning for us (41st anniversary of our engagement), he learned what we liked and brought us a bourbon tasting! As we were just ordinary customers, this personal touch that made our great experience extraordinary. Why patronize a chain restaurant or establishment where you are just a number when you can have a great meal and also feel as though you truly matter? TC, please keep up the good work - you are a local gem!
