Nicole FormicaSeptember 8, 2015Words cannot express how amazing the food is. Bring a group and go for the chef's menu. Definitely worth it!
Vince C.September 30, 2015One of the best tasting menus for the $$ in the city - make sure to get the seared fois and sweetbreads.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014The outdoor patio surrounded by foliage is a great escape from the tightly packed narrow dining room, especially at brunch. Read more
Danielle CarrickSeptember 28, 2013Can't go wrong with the menu. Sit at the bar for an awesome view of the chefs. My red pearl cocktail was baller.
Amy MixaApril 27, 2018Tasting menu was amazing. I specifically loved the tuna, the sliders, the duck, and the scallops!
One of my top 5 fav. Get the spicy tuna, the scallop, short rib slider, broccoli rabe, and bacon doughnuts. More than enough food for two.
Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 25, 2018Strawberry ribs a must, rib sliders good too but heavy, truffle gnocci is bomb
Janani PriyankaNovember 6, 2011Hands down some of the best food I've ever had in new York. The chef is very inquisitive and has a wonderful understanding of new American cuisine .... good shiiitttt!!!
Don't miss out on the strawberry glazed cinamon baby back ribs, their best dish!
Scott SJune 12, 2015Big eye tuna on eggplant tempura and strawberry cinnamon ribs, but the whole menu is the work of magicians.
Matt NeemsNovember 20, 2016Do the chefs tasting menu, a little of everything good. Strawberry cinnamon ribs, bacon maple donuts.- #DubiDO #FabuLIST get the chefs tasting menu. Comes with about 9-10 dishes. Totally worth it!
Sandell JonesMarch 9, 2013The Bacon Donuts were A-friggin-mazing! Awesome food, great staff and service. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Brooklyn!
Hello KittyApril 18, 2013Get the slider! The hazelnut dessert thingy was awesome! Wed night and it was still packed so make reservations!
Bee WilliamsJanuary 8, 2016This place was good! Lots of options to eat! Definitely great for sharing and sampling!
Rich KearneyNovember 12, 2012Chef's tasting menu is like a non-stop flavor assault on your tastebuds. It's fully worth the $80 and I highly recommend it.
Raquelle JessieMay 18, 2016strawberry & balsamic glazed ribs, homemade gnocchi w/ truffle, tuna tartare all standout- Jessica AJune 28, 2014Allison is legit the best server ever. If you have her waiting on you tonight, considered yourself blessed. Oh and get everything 👍.
MarkSeptember 11, 2015You might never know how much you love bacon doughnuts if you miss out on Traif. Brooklyn's best New American pick.
jin kimAugust 11, 2014Great place to share food with friends. Pork dishes are awesome. Cocktails are somewhat disappointing.
Joshua JohnDecember 8, 2013Bold and delicious menu - remember to save room for the Bacon Donuts with Coffee Ice Cream!
Pamela CastilloSeptember 15, 2015Absolutely get the tasting menu. Worth every penny. Everything was really delicious.
Genevieve LeeAugust 31, 2011Anything with pork in it was good. Some of the other meals not so hot, or had ingredients that didn't work well together. Overall a pretty good meal, and definitely get dessert there
Ashley SimonMarch 3, 2013Chef's menu isnt woth it. Just order small plates a la carte. I recommend tuna tartare, sliders, broccoli rabe.
Annie TNovember 17, 2010One of those menus where you can't go wrong. Ordered the autumn salad, glazed wings, strawberry ribs, pork belly, and bacon doughnuts. Each single dish was delish!
Dana DFebruary 4, 2012Seasonal menu focused on pork and seafood goodness. And, yes, bacon doughnuts.
TableShareJuly 9, 2010While the patio might seem like the obvious seating choice, a seat at the counter in front of the open kitchen allows you to watch Jason work his magic. Also: BACON DOUGHNUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more- Giorgia LucciolaAugust 25, 2013Get the sliders and the bacon donuts. And sit at the bar, the staff there is awesome.
Mingfei YanNovember 11, 2013Great tasting menu! 11 courses with only $45. Never miss out the bacon donut!
Devin ParkerMay 27, 2016Gnocchi and roasted cauliflower are wonderful and great options for vegetarians
David EllisMarch 15, 2013If you can handle a chili-infused vodka, the Red Pearl is a must. Absolutely top cocktail.
MatthewJanuary 29, 2012Absolutely wonderful experience. Food and service were both top knotch. Recommend "The Costanza," but everything we had was tremendous.
JoyceMarch 10, 2014Probably my new favorite restaurant. Everything was delicious - especially the bacon doughnuts for dessert!
Greg SiegalMarch 2, 2013Get the tuna tartar and the lamb with the hummus! Both are clear standouts on the menu.
Omg everything here is amazing, esp pork belly salad and snap pea salad. Lots of surprises. Margarita had secret licorice flavor, amazing, and I am not normally a licorice fan.
Chris MolanphySeptember 4, 2011The killer drink is the Burning Bush. And yeah, believe the hype—the bacon doughnuts are to die for (airier than you expect).
TahRaySa XOctober 27, 2012Great service. Fav dish: lamb tenderloin, tuna tartare. maybe pass on: fried quail, pork ribs
Sandra RubinchikNovember 9, 2015The squished menu font is a horrendous pain in the butt, but luckily you can't order wrong so just point randomly and enjoy.
Matthew WitherowSeptember 22, 2010I wanted to eat everything! So amazing. For two people, get two or three from the top of the menu and one or two from the bottom...and dessert.
Corinna PJune 6, 2012It's true about the bacon doughnuts. Also, everything is incredible. Especially the foie and the scallops.
