L'Antagoniste

My partner and I both live in the neighborhood and have walked past this place on numerous occasions and finally got the chance to go here. To say that it blew us away is an understatement. I have never written a review to any restaurant before but had to because of how delicious the food was on top of the fantastic service. We got the burger and the chicken and it was one of the best meals I've had in my entirety of living in New York. My girlfriend mentioned that she loved the bread and when we were getting the check Charley our amazing server gave her a loaf to take home and told her to put it in the oven tomorrow morning. This place now holds a special place in our heart and we will be attending again soon!

Duck, sea bass, burger entrees superb. The mushroom soup is a must pre-course. Steak tartare was delicious. The bread and butter basket is a great touch. Attentive and informed servers. Warm, cozy ambience. Delightful dining experience of French fusion culinary delights.

Mussels and fries are the way to go :) The chicken dish looked delicious too but I didn’t try it. Great ambience and service. The passion fruit dessert was tasty tart.

Always a great experience. The server is very knowledgeable about the menu and did a great job sharing the daily specials. The food is high quality and the menu is very creative. It’s an absolutely a gem in Brooklyn. Hands down to Amadeos the owner who is actually present and is always making sure you’re having an amazing experience.

This was my second time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint! I was really impressed with the service tonight and although I may be a little biased as I did mention it was my birthday in the reservation, tonight was really a special touch. Charlie was above and beyond and really paid attention to the mood of the table and surprised and delighted us with some great pairings with wine and food suggestions. It was very thoughtful of him to mention he saw the notes for tonights dinner occasion, as I am used to some places completely ignoring it. Granted tonight may have been a slower evening and this may not happen all the time it really made the difference in the overall experience. Highly recommend the red wine suggestions with dinner and port for dessert as a digestif.

Excellent, cozy restaurant. Great for a date night. Romantic. Excellent wine selection and the food was divine! And these were just the appetizers. I forgot to photograph the actual meal. Service of course was great! You can’t have great food and poor service. They earned their stars! You should rsvp though!

My boyfriend and I decided to drop in without a reservation, and we were fortunate to be seated just in time for the busy dinner rush. The restaurant was fully booked, but the service was exceptional. Our waitress was fantastic—she provided clear and concise descriptions of the menu items, making our choices easy. I was starving so ordered the steak tartare since it would come to the table quickly since it’s raw. The presentation of it looks very pretty just when I scooped up some to put on a piece of bread the egg yolk popped and started dripping nice and evenly. I opted for the burger cooked medium rare, and it was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth. The burger looked substantial, a testament to its lack of added preservatives. My boyfriend chose the steak frites, and the steak was impressively thick and flavorful, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. One wall proudly displays their local farm suppliers, which speaks to their commitment to quality. The frites, a nod to their French inspiration, were perfectly crispy and absolutely lived up to my expectations. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite. Don’t hesitate—make a reservation and experience this gem for yourself!

One of our favorite restaurants in Brooklyn! Classical French cuisine, all farm to table ingredients, served in a cozy environment. Our family comes here for all different kinds of special occasions and celebrations.
