LaVilla: pretty good standard Italian food. Big portions, everything is fresh.
Kiku: Lots of vegetarian sushi options, much more than your standard cucumer/avocado rolls.
Frannys: Best fancy pizza EVAR
Mango: A step above your standard neighborhood Thai restsaurant, much better than Lemongrass.

for upscale...applewood...hands down...excellent food at reasonable prices. in the city, this place would be 2 stars and the prices could be double. their sauteed lobster appetizer, their cheese plate, their meats are all fantastic.

service is mixed...its friendly but not always professional. i like the wife and she is good but the other servers are mediocre. but the space is great and cozy.

for casual, bonnies...good burgers and wings...casual and a good place to hang out. taro has excellent sushi at cheap prices, and stone park is always quality.

One of my favs, too, but mine is 4-5 blocks away on Atlantic! :twisted:

Rice Thai on 7th Ave.

New College on corner of Union and 4th for a good (cheap) diner b-fast.

Rosewater: always fresh ingredients, inventive menu; great wine. Perfect for long lingering dates.
THE NEW SANTO PALO!! (Palo Santo?) on Union btw 4th and 5th: GREAT lil plates, fresh herbs and homemade tortillas...cannot wait to go back. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice every morn!!

leenee · October 2006

So many good ones mentioned, but too many I haven't tried yet.

I can't say these are my favorites, but I consistently like them:

Press 195 - takes a long time to get the sandwich, but worth it
Chip Shop for Mac-n-cheese (small portion) and a salad
Number One Garden for fast, cheap and good Chinese food
Blue Ribbon delicious, but not in my current (non) budget
La Taqueria Nachos, baby, nachos.

femmedada · October 2006

Here are a couple that are on my short list:

Night and Day--I love the jazz, the food and the late hours.

Rosewater--the food is almost always excellent. I'm just glad that I didn't walk by the day that they were roasting a pig out front. Animal lover here!

clemens

la taquiera

bogota

(are we noticing a trend here?)

mixergirl · October 2006

hands down Convivium Osteria--great service, great food, great ambiance.

mypasswordwontwork · October 2006

Rosewater
Blue Ribbon
Nana for something cheerful and relatively cheap

I've heard great things about Applewoods but not yet been there.

linusvanpelt · October 2006

I don't know how I let this thread go by without plugging Convivium. Intimate, romantic (especially the cellar seating), excellent service, fantastic food especially the Portuguese-leaning stuff. I could go for a plate of their chicken livers with bacon right now.

On the cheap / takeout side, Los Pollitos, no question.

steve · October 2006

where is convivium and what kind of menu do they have? I feel like I've seen it mentioned in passing 10 times now but have no real picture of it.

68 5th Avenue near St. Mark's. Signage is very inconspicuous so easy to miss. Menu is Mediterranean with an emphasis on Portuguese and (I think) Spanish influence, as well as Italian. (One of the owners is Portuguese and one Italian.)

I used to really like la taquiera but the service there has become so incompetant that it's not worth my time to go there anymore. Last time I was there I had to tell the guy the counter my order at least ten times--all while he helped everyone BUT me. I finally broke down and asked if he was going to make my burrito or if I should just go somewhere else. Food is not good enough to put up with that crap.

It's really good, and I'd recommend it.

miriam · October 2006

Rachel's on 5th Ave btw 7th and 8th Streets
I love their buritos!

Hunan Delight on 6th Ave/Union
Love their vegie chicken and dried bean curd!

These are about the only restaurants I can afford...

8thandprez · October 2006

Al di la - their seasonal raviolis are sumptuous. Hands down the most romantic place to eat if it's snowing. Total bitch getting a table though.

La Villa - I know, this place is so 2004. But I still love their free bread basket, organic baby green salad and quite good pizza. My version of comfort food.

Blue Ribbon Sushi - great sushi, tempura to die for, and really sweet servers

Christie's - deeeeelicious veggie pies and coco bread

Hunan Delight - hands down the best Chinese in the Slope. No one does seitan better than this place.

Thanks Linus!

I feel like I've written this recently but...

Blue Ribbon is excellent.
Stone Park too, and Sette is becoming a favorite.
Moutarde, but I haven't been there in a couple years
12th St., because they have the hangar steak, possibly the most popular meal on this board.
The Mexican place on 4th and Union and for that matter Los Dos Pollitos on 5th and Baltic maybe?

OT, but did anyone notice that Night and Day is becoming a BBQ place? I thought they were doing ok, but I guess not so much.

anonymous · October 2006

TARO SUSHI!!!

have you had their eel? it's the best I've had in the US.

True, especially since they don't take reservations (it's on 5th & Carroll, btw), but you can put down your name, go around the corner to their wine bar, and have a nice chat and a good selection, then go to dinner 45 minutes later...

Nana WAS my favorite until they served me shrimp soup with only ONE piece of shrimp. :evil:

raw · October 2006

Besides for Amin on 7th Avenue, I have a hard time not LOVING at least one menu option at ALL Park Slope-based restaurants I eat at. It's hard not gaining 50 pounds in this neighborhood!

My dream is to sit down at one restaurant and have the waited deliver me my favorite items from several restaurants at once. The hodgepodge would include appetizers from Nana and Nepon, entrees from Blue Ribbon Sushi, some of that smashed red pepper crap they bring out with bread at Aunt SuzieÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s, and dessert from Tasti Delight.

favorite restaurant in Park slope and why :)?
