Reviews
Our waitress was efficient and handled the table well, though the service lacked warmth and personality. The staff’s appearance was also a bit lackluster & confusing. Several team members were dressed in sweats, distressed torn flannels or outworn clothing, which made it difficult to distinguish staff from DoorDash employees. A slightly more polished presentation would elevate the experience.
Food-wise, it was decent. I’d personally pass on the steak. The mushroom ravioli in brown butter was a standout appetizer and definitely the highlight of the meal. The wings were also cooked well and enjoyable. Drinks were tasty and refreshing, but they were on the smaller side, lightly poured, and priced on the higher end. A bit more generosity with the pour would make a difference.
Prices overall felt high for what was delivered. The ambiance leaned dark and somewhat bland, lacking vibrancy or energy. Happy hour was limited, offering only discounted raw oysters, beer, and wine. It would be great to see more special-priced food items and a broader cocktail selection included.
In conclusion, Mayfield was a solid but unremarkable visit. Nothing terrible, nothing outstanding. Just another Brooklyn spot that feel overpriced for an average experience.
Great outdoor patio in the back.
The French toast is amazing! Skip the patty melt – the meat tasted off. The burger was solid – I appreciate the toppings options.
Friendly staff who are able to tolerate the very warm inside of the restaurant.
We had heard good things about Mayfield. From the first moment you step through the door, we were greeted warmly. There were 3 in our party, each of us ordering something different. We enjoyed the mushroom ravioli, kale salad, the 1/2 chicken, and cauliflower! Amazing food. The music was great, the bar appeared well stocked and our water glasses were kept full too. Highly recommend going. If we weren’t so stuffed from dinner we would have ordered their signature donuts.
We ordered a mezcal drink, snow pea salad, fried oysters, and fish and chips.
The mezcal drink was decent.
As a whole, I could tell there was thought behind the food. Unfortunately, in my opinion the flavors just weren’t there and the execution fell flat.
The snow pea salad was covered in some kind of creamy and umami filled dressing. The individual components were good but I think the salad would have been better with a different flavor profile, perhaps something more refreshing and light. As a result of the dressing the salad just didn’t taste that good, even though the ingredients were fresh.
The fried oysters sat on top of a sizable bed of smoked salmon and celeriac salad. Individually the fried oysters and smoked were good but the celeriac salad felt out of place. This dish felt like it would have been better with its individual components separated instead of together.
Lastly the fish and chips was a disappointment. The batter itself was fried well but the fish was overcooked. The batter was crisp on the outside but slightly chewy on the inside. This would have been great had the batter had some actual flavor in it. The fish itself was overcooked and somehow lacking in flavor. The fries were decent but I expect the fries to be at least this good from a restaurant of this price point and caliber.
Overall I could tell there was intention behind the food but felt the execution fell flat. Many of the dishes had great notes of flavor but just didn’t appeal to my palate. It was a shame because you could really tell the chefs were trying to do something great with each plate. It’s like trying to cheer for your favorite sports team that in your heart you know can do well, but lose time after time again.
Unfortunately I don’t think I can recommend anyone come here. If I find myself back here I would be willing to try their other dishes for an attempt at redemption.
We also split some apps and the cucumber sandwich and mushroom ravioli were highlights.
The only small comment is we were sitting right underneath some really strong fans / ac and most people at the table were pretty chilly, myself included.
A couple of us had the burger. Thick, juicy burger, I always love them, but nothing special about this one.
The poached egg dishes I saw looked well presented, but similar didn’t knock anyone’s socks off.
The cuban was a great savory sandwich, and would be my order if I returned. Missed out on that one.
