We enjoy this place and appreciate the menu. The steamed buns are the best thing on the menu--filled with beautiful short rib meat and served in delicate, fluffy buns. We also tried the seafood tower, which is not bad. The oysters were amazing--my husband thought they were some of the best we've had, and we've eaten oysters from well-renowned places, so that says a lot. The martinis are good, although they forgot the blue cheese in the olives during our last visit. I always get the ginger drink, which is fantastic with its tahin rim. The variety of options is impressive, and we come here several times a month, as a date night, we have our favorite tables and spend a load of money supporting them. In addition we even do a large take home order for my sister, husband and I celebrating my birthday here every year on the 1st of January. I also come throughout the year with friends and family as we have known this place for many years being born and raised in the area. So many options are good here like the lollipop wings the muscles , the steak skewers, the best burger in Bay Ridge, you can't go wrong with them.However, the owner was a bit awkward when he learned that I am Muslim and do not eat pork. I had reached out because their social media manager, posted that the buns will now be made with pork so as a Muslim, I reached out to see if if that was true and they informed me that it was actually a typo . The owner came up to our table to ask about it and seemed annoyed (or maybe confused?) by my ask which was odd. Not sure why thats confusing or annoying lol. I'm sure he doesn't discriminate against Muslims. Perhaps he is just socially awkward . He also was confused because Resy informed us that it was down due to restaurant week having so much traction which caused patrons to experience errors when attempting to book, this was taken care of before our visit yet when we came he thought this was weird too. He gets confused offen. We chuckled when he left just chocking it up to his social awkwardness, but in general I think let's just concentrate on all the money and support you get from us and don't worry about things that are out of our control . Despite this, we continue to enjoy the restaurant and its offerings. We love how kind service is and hope they are getting paid well for their work. We all know a restaurant is nothing without its wonderful employees. We have a blast coming here as a pregame before heading to The Brooklyn Firefly which is a nice brisk walk from here.

Super cute and very nice without being pretentious ambiance. The Christmas decoration went hard and the music was really fun pop for a traditional Italian restaurant. Very spacious, we had a friends birthday dinner here and there was plenty of space. Be warned: The chicken Parm pizza is not actually pizza but rather a chicken parm in the shape of pizza with pasta on the side and cheese on top.The rigatoni was great though and very filling. The sausage was yummy with it. Overall it's decent Italian food nothing to write home about though. Good spot for a nice family or large group dinner too.

I attended a baby shower here, and boy, was I blown away. The private room for events was so nice with a moody (darker) vibe, natural light pouring in from the glass windows, and greenery. It was very spacious and had bathrooms within the room, and most of the workers were very friendly. The food was never ending, I think it was like four courses, which is just what they offer for events. First was three different appetizers per each table (or more like group of tables). The lollipop chicken wings, meatballs, and calamari were all delish. But the meatballs ranked last. Next came a small salad, which was the right amount. I don't know what it contained but it was a pretty good simple salad. Then came the penne alla vodka, which was not the best I've had but also not the worst. I wouldn't come here to satisfy that craving but it was acceptable. My entree was a French toast, which was ok. This meal took four hours! But I guess it's because guests didn't all come at the start time and we played games in between. I would consider holding an event here.

Nice place. We opted for the outdoor seating the tables were on a slant but don't panic, nothing slides of the table. The dirty martinis were delicious. The seafood tower was good but pricey. Nice staff.

Cebu Bar & Bistro is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. We stumbled upon this place Christmas Eve Weekend after trying to go to both Kettle Black & Ho Brah for dinner and both being closed for private holiday parties. Boy, were we happy to find that Cebu was open. Even though the back room was occupied for a private party, the rest of the establishment was open for regular dinner service. Cebu is accessible via public transportation, including the R tain to 86 Street Train , as well as the B37 & B16 & B63 buses. There are various stores, eateries & hangout spots around this neighborhood, and Cebu is near a few places, including Chadwicks, which is a nice Steak House. When we eventually crossed the street and went into Cebu, we were glad to be greeted by the lovely hostess and to find seats at the bar area. Menus were provided to us, and I observed a nice-sized crowd of patrons enjoying their dining experience while eating fabulous llooking dishes. Cebu has a chic ambiance and lively atmosphere. Cool lighting and pictures are all throughout Cebu, including in the bathroom. Great music played in the background - Dua Lupa, Rihanna, etc. We ordered the "Modern Love" cocktail - Empress 1908 Gin, Elderflower & Lavender, and the "Spiked Lemonade" cocktail - Deep Eddy, Sweet Tea Vidka, Lemonade & Mint. Both of the cocktails were delightfully refreshing. Cebu gives complimentary bread, which was served warm and tasted fresh. Our Steak Skewers Appetizer as well the Entrees- Rigatoni w/ Sausage and Slamon w/ Asparagus - were good. Shout-Out to Doug, Richard, Brian, Natalie & especially to Fernando as they all were so kind to us. Cebu Staff provided wonderful customer service, and we look forward to returning to try other dishes. Hours of Operation - Mon. - 12pm -10pmTue. - Thurs. - 4:30pm - 10pmFri. - 12pm - 11pmSat. - 11am - 11pmSun. - 11am - 10pmWebsite - cebubrooklyn.comInstagram - @cebubarbistroNYC Winter Restaurant Week is 1/16/24 - 2/4/254.

I've gone here before for brunch back during Corona days and didn't get the full experience since it was outdoors but this time around, I got to enjoy the ambiance when he had indoor dining to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I didn't have reservations so I was lucky to have gotten a table.The tacked were decorated with battery-operated lit candles so it created a nice, intimate setting. It's so romantic that I initially thought maybe I should have gone elsewhere for a family celebration but those blasphemous thoughts were out to rest as soon as our drinks and food came out. I ordered a Chicken Parm pizza with a side of penne a la vodka. Damn, it was the tastiest combination I've ever had. I was in heaven as soon as I dipped my pizza into a side of vodka sauce. I'm just getting hungry remembering it all right now. The Aperol Spritz that I had ordered was the perfect pairing for my food. My sister's filet mignon was too tiny for my liking but my sister enjoyed it nonetheless.The staff was so nice and festive, especially when they came out with a piece of tiramisu (soooo good) with a birthday candle to sing happy birthday to my cousin. She had the biggest smile on her face by the end of the night and all thanks to Cebu!

Beautiful atmosphere. Service was laid back but attentive. I was blown away by the chicken Caesar pizza. The chicken and cauliflower were in the crust, with the salad on top. The apple crisp came fresh from the oven and served with a scoop of ice cream. It's a good place for a date nite. Not quite the best choice for a quick bite though. I had just come from a work out - so I was starving!

Neighborhood favorite of my friends whether it be brunch, lunch or dinner, in a classic, old Brooklyn restaurant. Reservations highly recommended. Guacamole and chips was delicious and fresh. Glazed salmon was perfect with the scallions and absolutely enjoyed the sesame taste. Steak and eggs was perfectly cooked. Special of the day: Apple crisp not to be missed! We were seated by the fireplace so it felt a bit cozy. Ambiance was chill and not too noisy. Waiter was attentive and checked in on us frequently.
