Le Paddock

I have been a regular for several years and always had and have the best experience! The food is amazing, very consistent, never a faux pas! Love all the specials, Oysters night…. ! the staff and owner Gregory are the most pleasant, friendly, it feels so good to have diner there, delicious, charming, cozy. Cocktails and wines are perfect pairing! My Fav Brooklyn restaurant! 5 stars is not enough, sincerely.

We took some take out at le Paddock An order of french fries ,two pizzas and an order of calamari .The order of french fries was greasy, soggy and old .As if they were from previous day and the cook had tried to revive them. Unacceptable !! The order of calamari should be renamed to Green peppers with some calamaris . The plate was filled with huge long peppers and in the middle there were just a few of calamaris but the bad thing was the calamaris were not crispy at all but rather soft and soggy .A very disappointing experience at Le Paddock . If we had dine in we would have most definitely returned the fries. Question Does Le Paddock reserve the older food from day before for take out ?

The owner booted us from our table after we had been seated, never really apologized, which forced us to eat at the bar, where he then forced us to move again. Bartender was nice, food was good not great. But service was lacking. Also watched a food runner drop half our appetizer on the floor, and just bring it out as is, nothing said. Unfortunate, as I really wanted to love the place..

Amazing food. The skirt steak was delicious, crispy and perfectly cooked. The wine and dessert was fantastic. The servers were very kind.

Food was good. Menu prices were good. Atmosphere was a neighborhood joint that drew several families with small kids. Small dining space that filled quickly but turned over quickly too. Small space was a bit too loud for me when tables were full. Service was meh. Staff was friendly enough but Long waits for first order, drink refill and asking for extra ketchup came close to giving me an argument. Importantly, the place charged a credit card surcharge that was not mentioned on the menu at time of ordering. I'm sure of this because they were VERY clear on multiple signs that they only took cash or American Express. Only found out about the surcharge when the final bill arrived, and they really should tell you about that charge before you order. It might even be the law in NY/ NYC but I'm not sure. I might go back but the surcharge thing really pisses me off, especially when the tip gets included in the service charge percentage calculation.

We had the impression that, when done eating, they wanted us to leave quickly. They started to take the plates at the moment you finished eating (could have waited like 5 mns). Only AmEX or Cash, it needs a little upgrade.

Great food, great service.
