This is where I celebrated Mother's Day with my children and it was a great choice. We loved everything about Le Fanfare - the food, the service, the ambiance. We shared 3 appetizers and then each had a main. Everything was delicious! We felt that the servers were very attentive to us. In addition, given all that we ate and drank, we thought the price very reasonable. We look forward to returning to Le Fanfare.

Wow, what a delicious and amazing surprise! Booked last minute because there was one time slot remaining on a Saturday night and I recalled the restaurant had a good reputation. What a delightful experience from start to finish. Service was excellent. People always filling your water glass and checking on you - everyone in the restaurant seemed to work everywhere so you weren’t waiting for one specific server. Food was excellent!! Enjoyed the olives and meatballs to start. Then the super yummy shaved Brussels sprout salad with whole hazelnuts and cranberries. Then the black squid spaghetti with mussels (& I usually don’t love mussels ) and pork ribs that fell off the bone. Room was full but sound level decent considering. Got noisier later on though when music started around 9pm and a louder crowd was there. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a great evening. I look forward to returning there when the back garden is open.

Delicious food, great music! The gnocchi was fluffy, the chicken was delicious. We all cleaned our plates! We were visiting Brooklyn for the weekend and this was a great choice. Fair prices, great food, and a nice, hip atmosphere. I'd go back in a minute!

Amazing food, fair prices. Love that the setting was intimate, even on a communal table setting. They provide that space of another seat between a pair of couples. Will come back!

Service was great but our pasta dishes were both very salty. I had the "spaghetti" all carbonara but it looked and tasted like Ramen noodles.
