Fin Du Monde Foods — Restaurant in New York

I’ve been looking forward to coming here for a while and was very disappointed in my experience. Everyone was nice enough, but the food and service was incredibly slow. We ordered oysters and a caprese salad and it took over 30 minutes to even get our oysters. The cocktails weren’t great either. I figured this place would have amazing cocktails. Oysters were fine, but would’ve benefited from a mignonette and/or hot sauce, instead of just cocktail sauce. The caprese salad was fresh and delicious. It’s hard to get the servers attention, even on an incredibly slow evening. Definitely not a place I’ll come back to I’ve been looking forward to coming here for a while and was very disappointed in my experience.

This place is the definition of romantic and cozy. We got there at around 6:30, and it was completely empty, but by the time we left at 8, the only seats left were at the bar. Definitely a spot that locals love, and for good reason.

To start, I had the moules marinière, which was amazing. For the main course, I went with the roasted swordfish, and my husband had the beef bourguignon. Everything was cooked perfectly. The wine list was spot on too. Every option paired beautifully with our dishes, which made the whole meal even better.

One of the things we really loved was the rotating menu. You never know what’s going to be available next time, but after this meal, we’re confident that whatever they serve will be just as good. We also had the Meyer lemon tart for dessert. We only ordered one, but honestly, we should have gotten two. It was that good.

They also have plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options, which is always nice to see. Can’t wait to come back and see what’s on the...

I don't know how this place isn't on every Greenpoint Best Of list. Truly a hidden gem! I come here quite often and have never had a bad meal. The menu rotates constantly so there is always an excuse to come back and try something new. The food is incredible. Perfectly seasoned and comforting. Simple but exceptionally prepared. Vaguely french inspired and always fantastic. The vibe is also on point. They are always playing old school jazz at a volume that allows for comfortable conversation. This would make a fantastic date night but is also a great way to spend an evening with friends. I think it's run by just two people - so sometimes dishes take a second to come out when they are busy. But IMO this is part of the charm of it all. Go here expecting to have a chill, relaxed night. Don't be in a rush! Enjoy the excuse to slow down for a night and eat...
