Belatedly sharing an amazing happy hour meal I had in March here. Pompano in jalapeño pesto with pickled mushrooms i’ll never forget, and tasty fried oyster sliders. Cocktails were fantastic and seem to be where their ingenuity flourishes. Friendly staff and warm ambiance — they’re doing it all! I think of my amazing experience whenever i walk by and will be back soon

My friends, family and I have been coming here since Arden’s opening and it is by far the best restaurant with the most talented team of chefs and knowledgeable staff in town! I don’t know where to begin with their menu, I’ve had almost everything! Caesar salad is incredible with fresh anchovies, pork belly is incredible, mussels, oysters, the chicken entree is my favorite, it’s done SO well! And brunch is a whole other ball game, the best huevos rancheros I’ve ever had, made with beef short rib and fresh farm eggs with a perfect amount of sauce and zesty micro greens. The libations are also amazing, lovely, well crafted cocktails, beautiful wine list and the bar is stunning. Aside from the amazing food, drink and atmosphere the most special thing about Arden is their incredibly kind, knowledgeable and lovely staff who make the entire dining experience so comfortable and warm. I love Arden, we are so lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in our neighborhood ❤️❤️

Our first time here was a Sunday afternoon for brunch. We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed everything - the food, wines by the glass, the people who work here. Last Saturday we came back for dinner. Once again, it was lovely on all fronts. While we didn’t have anything from the happy hour menu, our meal (shared the little gems wedge; he had the octopus and shrimp starters for his main course, I had the chicken Marsala) was great. The portions were pretty large, and while I initially had hopes of bringing half my chicken entree home, I ate all of it. The side of corn cooked with miso was fantastic too

Wandered into Arden looking for a quick bite after enjoying the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and it was a treat! The Happy Hour menu offers a well rounded variety of bites and more hearty items. The Salmon tartare and the Hamachi on crispy rice were standouts and my companions enjoyed the burgers which were also solid. Great atmosphere and wonderful service. I look forward to coming back and trying their dinner menu. The toffee pudding was tasty, but be advised it’s less dense and more airy than a traditional pudding.

Arden is darling. Small and personal. We had fried olives (because, what?) and they were good. Kind of lost their oliveyness with the light breading and frying. And the Emotional Rescue cocktails - Delicious. A cod special with mushrooms and eggplant and curry. And the Roasted Hen of the Woods mushroom dish. Everything was beautiful, balanced, had a lot of mmmmmmm going on. Also, super cute journals carried the check to the table, with comments and drawings. Very fun. We would def go back again.

We came for thanksgiving dinner and left very satisfied. The pork chop was especially good. While the turkey I had was a tinge dry, the accompanying sides were excellent.

a lovely small neighborhood restaurant with great drinks and the food was all very flavorful! We got the beef shoulder as our main with a side of brussels, and for starters we did salmon tartare, bone marrow, and pork belly. they also gave us a complementary bok choy dish which I loved the flavor of.

This is a very special restaurant we've been for brunch and dinner and loved both. They do a great happy hour too. The breakfast sandwich for brunch and bone marrow at dinner are my absolute favorites. But what I love best is their wine list! I always leave myself in the hands of one of the fantastic owners and we have enjoyed some really stand out glasses of wine. We will be back again for sure.

What an exceptional brunch experience. The cocktails were outstanding, with playful names inspired by music icons—one after my favorite Beyoncé track, Alien Superstar, and another, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, honoring the infectious Selena hit. Each drink was superb, with a subtly botanical character that felt especially fitting given the restaurant’s proximity to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. For brunch, I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros and the French toast. The Huevos Rancheros featured perfectly cooked short rib, which proved to be the highlight of the dish. The French toast struck a harmonious balance between sweet and savory; fresh blueberries and raspberries, paired with a delicate caramel drizzle, eliminated any need for syrup. I also sampled the shrimp and grits, which were equally impressive. Even before tasting the shrimp itself, the rich flavor of the seafood infused the grits beautifully. The shrimp were plump, generously portioned, and cooked to perfection. The staff were exceptionally kind, attentive, and worked seamlessly as a team. I was fortunate to meet one of the owners, whose humility and graciousness left a lasting impression. I look forward to returning to explore the upcoming seasonal menu

Thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here. Staff is attentive and welcoming. My server chose my drink for me and upsold me on their Ahi tuna special. Both were AMAZING. I grew up in this neighborhood, I think this place is a good addition to the community. Many cultural dishes on the menu that I can’t wait to come back and try. Great happy hour as well!
