Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Brooklyn

We had such a wonderful experience at Bygone on Sunday! A special thank you to Jaime, who made our visit feel truly personal and memorable. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel completely comfortable and well cared for throughout the evening. Her genuine kindness and thoughtful service added something special to the entire experience. We loved the beautiful atmosphere and delicious cocktails, but Jaime’s hospitality is what made the night stand out. She is a true asset to Bygone, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Jaime, for making our visit so enjoyable! Highly recommend!

My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary by dining at Elkridge Furnace Inn. The Scallop appetizer was delicious. Our entrees, Foraged Mushrooms and Beef Meatballs, and Tunisian Lamb Shank, were absolutely amazing. My husband is still talking about how the meat just fell off the bone! And, to finish off dinner, the Apple Cider Brûlée was just divine. We always have a great time here, and will be talking about our experience for a while. There were also the little things they did to help celebrate our day that just made us feel so special!

this has vibes, music, good drinks, and amazing food. the entertainment was top tier and their australian wagyu was even better. 10/10 definitely coming again.

Bresca is a 10/10 experience to anyone who dines with them! They were so welcoming and celebrated me and my husband’s anniversary perfectly. Wonderful food, drinks, and staff:) definitely will return again!

Had a fantastic dinner and evening with wife and daughter on a Friday night! Service very cordial, cocktails delicious. For some reason, I thought the portions were going to be small but both the chicken and steak were perfect size and tastey. The chef deserves credit as steaks had pefect doneness, and the sauces and other food was interesting and prepared skillfully. I recommended The Nest to a couple others the following day.
