Such an enchanting space. The decor of the restaurant is definitely paying homage to the libraries of the Western World of yesteryear. Very tall makeshift book shelves with mock books in beautiful earth tones. There is a beautiful fireplace and a feeling of holistic warmth engulfs you upon entry. The food was absolutely incredible and our waitress Miriami was an absolute delight, catering to our every need in the most beautiful way. I give them a 10/10 and I definitely recommend!

This place has amazing ambience and great entree options on the menu. I had the branzini and the burger which were both good. The potato wedges that came with the burger we’re so crispy and perfect.

We just got married at Milk & Roses on Friday and let me just tell you… it was a DREAM!!! Not only is the venue stunning itself, our guests loved the warm and inviting atmosphere. The back garden made it super romantic, and versility of rooms made it fun for our guests. The food was exquisite, and the stuff was divine!! Working with Susanne made it so easy to plan for. We highly recommend anyone thinking of doing something unique and different than a typical venue, have your wedding there! You’ll never regret it and have the most romantic Brooklyn fairytale!

The food, drinks, and atmosphere are amazing. The lasagna-type dish is out of this world. The squid was excellent. The drinks were delicious. The outdoor seating had a ton of shade and the garden is beautiful. The service was soooooo slow. I would give it another shot to see if the service improves because it was so good. There were two servers. One was working her butt off and the other was folding silverware so read into that what you will. I think they have the opportunity to be sublime but they need to have a hard working team to make it happen.

What a beautiful restaurant with both parts cozy and sophisticated on the inside and European vacation on the outside.

From the moment we stepped into Milk & Roses, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The space is absolutely gorgeous, especially the garden, and the team is clearly a well-oiled machine when it comes to events. Susanne was wonderful to work with—super communicative and accommodating throughout the entire process. Everything ran so smoothly, from coordination with our vendors to setting up a rain backup plan (which we thankfully didn’t need!). Our guests raved about the food, and the staff on the day of were kind, attentive, and totally on it. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

I had brunch here a few weeks ago while on a trip to Brooklyn. Nestled in a quiet area, this restaurant’s entrance can’t be more pedestrian than the street itself. If you walk by and happen to miss it, you would not be inattentive. It is perhaps an intended presentation, so as not to judge the place by the glitz, but by its substance.
Entering the space, one is beguiled and almost immediately transported to an English country manor ambiance. From the wafting soft music to the sun drenched library, to the cozy fireplace and the grandeur of the hardwood floors, you can’t help but feel the very relaxing and inviting charm. The decor and appearance are part of the regal experience and while the menu may not meet a gastronomes cravings, it nevertheless would be quite appealing to a variety of palettes. In that regard we started with a shared stack of Pancakes and Strawberries, which were just delicious. We then had individual servings, with the hearty Croque Pullman, a combination of quintessential breakfast favorites – omelette, toast and bacon, and then then the very appetizing Panino con Frittata, with mouth watering Gruyère, zucchini and caramelized onions. The third dish was the Shakshuka which was a combination of two eggs sunny side up on zesty tomato sauce and bacon. The food was as delectable as one could expect, and the service from the ushers to the servers was just outstanding. Our server, Valentina was as cheery as the surroundings and was very attentive, which added to our great experience.
If you are in the area and would like to get a reasonably priced meal in a very charming setting, and not settle for the trite deli or take out experience, this would be a good place to try. It is family friendly and in the summers there is an open garden section with seating in much demand. I think you might find the overall experience just as fulfilling as I did, enough for me to return for another meal on my next visit.

The atmosphere here is absolutely unique — perfect for a date night. Surprisingly, it wasn’t crowded on a Friday. We ordered the cucumber and pear salad, which was refreshing and interesting. The cauliflower steak was also delicious and a great option for those who don’t eat meat. The potato wedges were tasty as well. Our server, Maria, was friendly and lovely to chat with. The bill was moderate, which made the experience even better!

Very good restaurant in a decent neighborhood. Loved the Pasta with shrimps and cauliflower. Cocktails and drinks are also highly recommended. A bit more pricey but definitely worth the money.
There also is a very cute English garden in the backyard which is perfect to sit, eat and talk

This establishment delivers an exceptional dining experience, combining stunning decor with outstanding food and service. Every detail of the ambiance has been carefully curated, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting.
The menu does not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and well-balanced with fresh ingredients. The guacamole and chips were a standout—fresh, well-seasoned, and accompanied by crispy, high-quality chips. The avocado toast was equally impressive, featuring a generous portion of creamy avocado on well-toasted bread.
Service was fast and efficient, with a staff that was both attentive and professional. From start to finish, this was a top-tier dining experience, making it a highly recommended destination for anyone looking for a perfect blend of ambiance, quality, and service.
