Le Crocodile - Buy Reservations

Le Crocodile delivers on all of my review pillars:1- Service was excellent from the hostess greetings to the well wishes from staff on the way out. Our waiter John C was courteous, professional and very helpful in planning and enjoying our evening, from drinks all the way to dessert.2- The ambience was cozy and sophisticated with thoughtful lighting to match. The table and chairs were comfortable and the place features some very cozy and plush benches for other table arrangements.3- TTE or time to eating, based on time elapsed from the order to delivering our plates, was short, considering the place appeared about 70% full.4- The food quality was excellent, with everyone at the table enjoying the delicious French menu. There were no returns or surprises about our food not being cooked properly. Desserts were decidedly decadent and entrees spectacularly delicious and filling.5- Pricing was adequate for the quality of food. I found it cheaper than a swanky French joint in Manhattan-many of which I frequent often. Apps, dinner and dessert with drinks and tip for 3, ran about $550. Lots more value compared to Boulud or Robuchon.Le Crocodile didn't disappoint and has officially made my definitive Brooklyn Eats gold list with this 5 star review. I am already planning my return, and I'd like John to work with us again!Make this an experience by bowling across the street then ending at Le Crocodile for a delicious experience.

French onion soup of particular note but a little beefy so make sure you like that if ordering. Have enjoyed for brunch lunch and dinner.

Kind and engaging. While the meal was wonderful and fun quality varied. Escargot had a delicious sauce but the croutons plus sides of delicious chewy bread meant too much bread. Pickled mussels were delicious but the sauce was not attractive- a bit metallic. Best dish was superb frisée salad with delicious eel and poached egg. Also a good sized portion. Duck with kumquat was mixed. The skin was fruity and delicious but the meat was a bit bland. Tarte tatin was excellent, with a layer of salt on the perfect crust that highlighted the fruit and ice cream flavors. But the rhubarb zablione fell short. Perhaps the rhubarb should have been served on top with on more binding element. One of the best martinis O have ever had. The trick is to put together the best elements and turn it into a meal totally worth the special event sized bill.

Came here with a friend and we had an absolutely amazing mealThe ambience and aesthetic is enjoyable and relaxed but in a very Americana vibe. All the staff from front desk to the servers and waiters were incredibly friendly and helpfulTo start we got a half dozen oysters to split and they were really goodFor my main I had the duck and my friend had the trout. We devoured them and after we realized we should've taken pictures for the review hereCan't wait to come back!

Cool place...but no bread? I've been going to restaurants for thirty plus years at this point and have noticed that it's becoming a "thing" to not put bread on the table. Shame. And worse, they don't even give you the option to buy.

Their fish is great too, fresh. A must!

Fancy, lots of French words I pronounced terribly to the very nice waitress. Been for both brunch and dinner and was impressed each time. Perfect special occasion spot. Brooklyn Brewery is nearby if you want to grab a beer if the wait is too long!

Everything came out quickly, and everyone we interacted with was so friendly and knowledgable. This is certainly not a place to go for budget bites. You cannot go wrong with any drink or wine on their list, the salads are fresh and delicious, and the mains are portioned just right. I highly recommend the beet salad, bringing a great friend, and the banana dessert (tastes just like fresh waffles).

Traditionalish French cuisine with superb execution. To start the staff is highly attentive without being too much...that being said the food really stood out. The crab dip as, I'll call it, was probably my favorite food of the year so far as of mod February. Each plate was great and there was a good amount of experimentation in each. The guinea hen (look up a picture they're goofs) was prepared two ways and done perfect each. It's a spot to go and I highly recommend desert...do keep an eye on the wine

From top to bottom, an amazing experience. Surprised this doesn't have a Michelin star yet...that tire company should give them a try. The chicken with frites was decadent. The fries soak up the aux jus just right, the meat is juicy, and the dish will fill you up without overwhelming you. The escargot was perfectly matched with buttery pesto sauce and sourdough croutons. Our waiter Deven (more on him soon) gave us fresh bread to soak up the gravy and we did just that. And the Parisienne sausage...so simple. So good. The mustard had a lot of pop, tangy and spicy and would taste great on most meats. The cocktails were smooth and strong, they will sneak up on you!Lastly, Our waiter was a cut above the norm. Deven made excellent suggestions and took time to notice what we were eating to pair our cocktails with. He added fresh bread for our escargot, as if reading our mind. And the rest of the staff had equal attentiveness and friendliness. The hostess was truly happy to help us, which is a rarity in Brooklyn. Overall, this place excels on multiple levels. We will come back!

I was staying in Williamsburg for a work trip and had lunch with a friend. Rex our server was amazing and made great recommendations. I had the mushroom pate with black truffle as well as the skate au poivre! Highly recommend! Will definitely come back when I visit the city again!
