Le Fanfare - Brooklyn

Everything about this place is fantastic—the food, drinks, music, and overall atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

The food was very tasty and filling. The cocktails were well made and unique. The atmosphere was very warm and pleasant. The staff was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. Would 100% come back again.

Table wasn't ready when arrived had to wait and got the worst table .

--- My friends and I were excited to try the food recommended by a Michelin-star restaurant, but we expected more flavor. Let me start with the positive aspects: the interior was nice, clean, and distinct from many other Italian restaurants I’ve encountered. However, it was not a big restaurant, and it was way too loud. At times, we had to raise our voices just to hear the waiter. The drinks were reasonably priced at $15, which I appreciated, although I can't say I was particularly fond of them. They weren't terrible, at least. Now, let's talk about the food. As a food enthusiast, I had high expectations, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. The presentation was nice, but the food was completely tasteless and bland. The side dish of broccoli, priced at $9, was everything but flavorful. We ordered several side dishes and appetizers to share, but no one really enjoyed anything, and we all ended up still feeling hungry. We also ordered main dishes, and while I can confirm that everything was fresh, the flavor was still lacking. With my experience dining at many fine restaurants, I feel I have a good basis for comparison. Two things frustrated me the most: 1. I find it extremely disrespectful for a fine restaurant owner to hide fees and reveal them like a surprise when the bill arrives. The credit card fee is the owner's responsibility and should not be passed on to the customer, especially since it wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the menu. 2. A 20% service charge was already included in the bill, another hidden fee that I didn’t appreciate. There was no indication on the menu that a 20% service fee would be added. I dined with a party of five, and I believe that a service fee of 20% should not be automatically imposed. A charge of 10-15% should be mentioned on the menu, allowing customers the choice to tip based on the quality of their service. Overall, my experience was a letdown and not what I anticipated from a Michelin-star establishment. --- I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any further adjustments.

The drinks were enjoyable, and the cannoli was outstanding—one of the best I've ever had, and I've tried quite a few. However, I found the food to be quite bland. The service was average at best.
