• 40th birthday dinner

  The best restaurant in Williamsburg. I had my 40th Birthday there in the Cellar and it was a dream. We always love the food for breakfast and dinner and have been for many holidays and special events. The private dinner was beyond perfect- all the menu's greatest hits and stellar service in the most charming room. Just an extraordinary job well done that didn't surprise me one but that I won't ever forget.

• private event, party of 20

  Had a private event for 20 people here, in an event room upstairs. Food, ambiance, and drinks were all incredible. Service was very attentive. Excellent place for a private party.

• wedding luncheon

  We had a five star luncheon for our wedding yesterday! Everything from ambiance to the quality of the food/ drinks were excellent. It’s worth mentioning our server Conner*** went completely above and beyond with his quality of service!! We had an absolutely perfect celebration, can’t wait to come back soon!

• private cellar dinner

  I was highly interested in this restaurant to book an intimate dinner with loved ones in their private cellar room. I wanted to first have dinner (which I didn’t need to) and check out the space since the Google reviews were positive. I booked the reservation a month in advance and told this viewing was possible. Fast forward to the date of the dinner I called to change the time and told the viewing was impossible since they booked a wedding and then told any future viewings may be unavailable despite having a reservation. I’m extremely disappointed there was no courtesy call (or an email) and lack of consideration for guests like myself who travel from other parts of New York to get to Brooklyn. I hope moving forward their lack of communication we unfortunately experienced is not repeated again and does not dampen other guests’ future life events and moments they wished to host with their loved ones.

• private brunches

  I’ve hosted several private brunches at Le Crocodile, and every time I’m blown away. The food is consistently fantastic, and the service is exceptional, non pretentious and accommodating — every single time. I can’t recommend them enough and can’t wait to go back!
