My brunch date and I love love loved it here! Hoping to grab a bite before the Essence Style Block Party, we picked Superfine on a whim for Sunday brunch. It was wonderful; great food, strong drinks, live music (briefly) and attentive service. I had the omelette of the day and my friend had the chicken enchilada. My omelette was great and came with yummy home fries (I wish there was a little bit more on my plate, but they were quite tasty). The house made sausage was also very, very good. While I enjoyed my food, I had a bite (or a few) of my friend's enchilada and I so wish I had gotten that instead. It was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delish! I ordered a drink that I didn't like and our server brought it back and made a suggestion (spiked pink lemonade) which I loved. It was very strong and two gave me a nice buzz. Our waiter Ryan was amazing! He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating. They also had a live band and singer for a few minutes while we were there, they only performed one song but I enjoyed it. Looking forward to coming back!
If we were coming for drinks only, I may rate this place 4 stars. But we actually wanted good food as well as drinks. Disappointed. The good: The Macho Grande, a Margarita served in a pint glass did not disappoint. All the power you want in a Margarita without the taste of bottled sweet and sour. The bartender makes the lime mix fresh offering a flavorful double Margarita. The traditional Manhattan with Maker's Mark was done right as well. The not so good: We were starving and excited to start with an appetizer, 2 entrees and maybe dessert. The menu however, was rather boring. A struggle to find mouthwatering descriptions. A number of meatless options if that's what your looking for. We managed to find 1 entree that we settled for. Penne with homemade sausage. The homemade factor didn't prove to shine. If nothing else, a basic burger would have been a good fall back option for this bar, but no such option.
Revisited Superfine after many years… What a transformation of the menu…
The space has that perfect blend of modern, artsy, local, industrial spattering of local artists artwork on the walls. 7 PM on a Thursday night, not too crowded, not too loud, promptly seated.
Enjoyed a delicate Campari lemonade cocktail and splurged on the steak au poivre with a side of mashed potatoes.
Those potatoes, silky and chived, intended for sharing… But sadly, hoarded by me. So good.
And I say splurge in the true sense of the word as this steak was, by far, the finest prepared and most tender piece of meat I've ever tasted. And I've eaten at Keens, Sparks, Peter Luger's, Old Homestead… I finally know what the "melt in your mouth" experience is. $38 with a side of perfectly seasoned fries and a small salad. Solid. A short walk from the York Street stop on the F line.
Superfine it's a nice restaurant. I come here every once in a while If I happen to be in DUMBO. I like the general atmosphere, and the food is really tasty, but last time I had dinner there it was so loud.. I was barely able to talk with the people at my table (and we were 6!)
Beside this annoying aspect, I highly suggested. Service is quick and nice. Particularly good are lobster salad and pork chops. And don't forget to try their French fries! Tiny and delicious!
I don't trek to Brooklyn much, and Superfine is a good example why. 1) The drinks aren't much cheaper than Manhattan. 2) DUMBO is loud. Something about trains overhead rattling by. 3) Yes there is a free pool table, but the thing is in complete shambles. 4) Their leather couches and theater seats are (I guess?) suppose to be artsy… but they just look run down, beat up, ripped, and makes me wonder if I might get bed bugs.
Stay in Manhattan. Send me a message on where to go for a free full sized pool table and intact, comfortable, and hygenic leather couches.
A great find in Dumbo, in the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge and a stone's-throw from the York Street subway station (F line). The place has a very cool, low-key vibe, with a nice long bar, exposed brick, and friendly staff – the kind of place you feel instantly comfortable with.
All three of us ordered different variations of the breakfast burrito, filled with scrambled eggs, house-made sausage, jack cheese, pinto beans, and a healthy amount of green chiles, perfect for anyone who likes a little heat with their eggs in the morning – that subtle yet oh-so-satisfying burn. The burrito comes with some nice breakfast potatoes and some fresh salsa, making for a great start to the day.
We lucked out and were treated to some live music by Brad Vickers and the Vestapolitans, some great American blues/R&R to go along with a great breakfast (and a very nice spicy bloody mary). Definitely a really nice way to start a sunny fall morning in Brooklyn!
the porkchops were deliciousssss!!!!! the bar is the coolest it goes all around and has a high and low part but it definitely fills up fast. My friend and I were seated at at table over looking the bar. Aside from ordering the porckchop(which was seasoned well) i got the lemonade drink. That was good as well. My friend ordered the penni pasta which came with sausage and he doesnt eat pork but the waitress apologized and kindly took it back to the chicken to substitute with chicken. I will definitely be back and it is very affordable
Came here for a drink with some friends after a long day. I was underwhelmed by the beer and cocktail list and service. The atmosphere was cool though, but it was akward to stand at the bar on the high side and look down on the servers. We didn't have any food or anything, so I might have to come back for dinner.
