Entree BYOB

I had the pleasure of eating at Entrée BYOB Saturday 6÷11÷2016.
It was simply amazing!
From my appetizer the wedge salad to my meal of NY Strip Steak w/​Asparagus and Mashed potatoes topped off with crème brûlée as my desert. It was seasoned to perfection.
Now, while great food is expected at any restaurant worth their salt. What took the experience over the top was the attentive and friendly staff. Everyone was anxious to serve and nothing was «too much» for them.
To the chef/​owner Kevin, I cannot wait to bring my wife back to experience this previously unknown gem.
To the staff that was so gracious and caring, continue to put the customers first, continuing enjoying what you do and each other because the camaraderie amongst you is what makes this establishment unique.

Amazing food. Amazing ambiance. Amazing Chef Kevin. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Even though there were a good amount of patrons Maddie, our server, was amazing! I will be coming back for sure!

We came here on a Sunday night to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The place is very small and only has about 10 tables. They keep it dimly light, which gives a romantic feel. There is no hostess and only 1 waiter working. We were seated at a table in the front room. The server was friendly and brought us some water for the table. Since it’s a BYO, he also opened the bottles for us and explained the menu. He gave us a few minutes and then came back to take our orders. We also informed him that it was our friend’s birthday.
For appetizers, we got the cheese plate, wedge salad, prosciutto wrapped dates, and calamari. We were blown away by the size of the cheese plate and throughly enjoyed all of the appetizers. For our meals, we got the grilled prime angus NY strip, the veal special, the sea scallops, and the surf n turf special. All of the entrees were tasteful and we enjoyed them. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but nothing too special. It’s a good place if you are looking for a decent meal for a decent price. They offer either a la carte meals or a pre-​fix menu where you can pick one appetizer, one entrée, and one dessert from each selection. For dessert we got the fried Oreos, Crème brûlée, and Affogato. The Affogato was the clear winner :)
Service: there was only one server on and he was working his butt off! As previously stated, he was very friendly and answered any questions we had about the menu. The only negative against him was the lack of a candle in my friend’s dessert. We made it clear that we were here to celebrate a birthday. He said, «happy birthday» to my friend, but failed to bring a candle out with her dessert. I thought to myself that maybe they didn’t do the whole candle thing at this restaurant, but the table behind us got a candle in their dessert for a birthday. It is a small thing, but it would have gone a long way.
Towards the end of our reservation, a party of 12 people came in to celebrate a 30^th birthday. They were very, very loud and the place is small. I know there is nothing you can do about rowdy guests, but i was glad we were almost done with our meal when they came in.
Overall, I think this place is great for a low key, decent meal at a reasonable price. The BYOB also makes for an even better meal! I would recommend this place, just maybe not for a birthday dinner.

My gf’s and I came here for a casual get together on a Wednesday night. The menu had such great variety we were very tempted to try their prix fixe menu. We ordered the calamari, baby arugula salad, jumbo shrimp appetizers and the ravioli, duck and scallop dinner entrees. Then came dessert, lemonchello cake– WHICH IS SOOO GOOOD. Everything was FRESH & DELICIOUS, and service was superb (Kim our waiter was excellent!!) I highly recommend this place, its now one of my favorite BYOBs.

The space is tiny. While my boyfriend and I were waiting for our table, it felt like we were creeping on the other tables because there was no space to stand anywhere. Despite the slightly cramped feeling, I really enjoyed eating here. I got the fried calamari, which was delicious and a huge portion. The duck breast was great; it was juicy and tasty. The affogato was pretty good too. The portion sizes are good, and the food is delicious. The service was good; our server was really helpful, and we ended up staying for over 3 hours. I would recommend this place for a date but not for larger groups, as there isn’t much space.

First off, the food is excellent. Had two great dinners here and was so impressed that I booked Entrée for my wife’s graduation dinner.
Unfortunately, it is a small restaurant and best for small groups — they don’t handle big groups well at all. We made our reservation almost a month before the date for a party of 12 at 7:30 pm. When I called earlier that day to ask if it was possible to come in at 7PM instead, they said no because another group of 12 which had originally reserved for 5PM was now coming in at 6:30 PM. The timing seemed tight, but okay.
We arrived at 7:30 PM for our reservation and of course the previous 12-​top was still there, enjoying their own dinner. At 8:05, with hungry relatives who had flown in from all over the country still waiting to be seated, we decided to cut our losses and go next door to Miles Table instead.
To top it all off, I got an email from Opentable the next day saying that we «missed» our reservation.
It’s a shame that the reservation management here is so careless, because the kitchen really does great work and I would have loved to treat my family to the great food.

Really delicious. It is a smaller venue on the first floor but everything here is delicious. I love the duck breast, the chicken, and any of their seafood plates. One must get the cheese plate with all of the wonderful jams! Really fantastic solid place that is perfect for friends, families, and dates.

I was on my way down the lower numbers of South Street last night (a Friday) on a first date. There was an accident on Broad St. so traffic was backed up some. Both of us were hungry as hell… Waiting at a light before 16^th she has glanced over and saw this place. She said «i wonder if this place is good?» I said «google it» lol. she did and saw some good reviews. I told her if we found a spot we should try it. Whattaya know found a spot before 17^th and walked up. Grabbed a six pack on the way at some bar.
Walked in and this place was jumping at 9:30. Didnt think we were gonna get a seat but a spot opened up and someone seated us. While we were waiting briefly the waiter took our beer and asked if we wanted one while we wait which I thought was nice.
The menu had some hard decisions. We ordered the dragon shrimp appetizer It was sweet and spicy very tasty. I couldn’t decide on my main entrée, so I just went with the N. Y strip with mash potatoes and asparagus. WHAT A GOOD CHOICE! Lol! It was all jazzed up with some fancy sauce on top. I was a lil skeptical when it came but WOW! It was cooked to perfection and the sauce made the steak that much better! Intense flavor but not overwhelming. Mash potatoes were delicious. My date ordered the Chicken dish she said it was amazing. I didn’t bother trying it because I was so wrapped up into this steak. We were both stuffed after but had to try the fried Oreos. Not even gonna get into that but Delicious. Place was winding down at this time and the Chef (Kevin) came out and asked how everything was. Ive never witnessed this but a real class act. Our server Dean was extremely informative, polite, and on top of everything we needed. The best.
Overall I had a great experience here. Im definitely coming back again and going to order the surf and turf. Im happy I stopped to try this place!

So it’s Friday night the 12^th which is NOT Valentine’s Day yet and there is a pre set menu of, get this, $ 70 PER person. Seriously?
This is one of those hyped up, overrated, hipster hole in the walls that forever seem to daze the living daylights out of non-​imaginative white people. Have a location that only seats 10 people at a time? Check. Ugly brick wall, exposed piping and quirky accouterments (e.g. pots and pans adorning the light fixture?)? Check. Nothing under $ 50 on the menu? Check. Don’t worry, it’s apparently «worth» it.
At this price point, I expect golden goblets, free champagne and waiters in tuxes. I was seated with my back against the front glass window and freezing. Please, people. Save your money or spend it at some 5-​star hotel room service.

I went to Entrée last night with my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day for the second year in a row. We enjoyed it even more than we did last year which was a surprise since last year was amazing. Our server and the atmosphere were on key. Candle lit tables and roses made the atmosphere romantic.
We ordered from the valentines pre fixed menu which included a cheese plate, app./salad, entrée and desert for each of us. We also received a complimentary glass of red Sangeria which was a nice touch.
I ordered calamari with red peppers, aoli and a balsamic glaze for my app and my boyfriend ordered fried shrimp with a mango sauce (both amazing). For entrees my boyfriend ordered short ribs served with mash potatoes and asparagus, he said it was the best short rib he has ever had. It was also a huge portion, he was full all night. I ordered crab encrusted swordfish with Brussel sprouts and cauliflower. It was amazing as well! We ended our meal with white chocolate crème brûlée and lemon cello cake. We both agreed it was the best meal we’ve had since living in the city.

Betrayed by all the other reviews. This place is overrated and they charge way too much for mediocre food.
We had the squid ink pasta which was too salty, bland tuna, and more soup based than pasta. The cheese plates were minimal and in creative. The braised short rib dish was slightly dry and nothing memorable, blah.
The desserts were decent. Overall, if you want to overpay for limit boring food, a claustrophobic experience since very tight and ugly dining furniture, and disappointment, then go here. I prefer other more wholesome Italian restaurants in the city.

Entrée was on my list of «must check out» for the past few months so when I saw their RW menu, I made a reservation quickly & rounded up two girl friends who love to eat good food. I highly recommend making a reservation in this place because it’s super tight in terms of space.
Our server was nice but he seemed very stressed out — he had a hard time squeezing into the tight spaces which I think could have been better organized. For half of the evening he had to reach over our table to hand the other couple their food since they were stuck in the corner and we were right next to another table and could not move. They gotta be smarter with their space!
Food wise it was everything I hoped for.
We got the wedge, which had these grape tomatoes, walnuts, & crispy priscuitto but it was drowned in gorgonzola dressing so you couldn’t really taste anything beyond the creamy dressing.
The calamari was fantastic — crispy/​crunchy & tasty with the balsamic reduction drizzled on top, peppers layered on and the siracha aioli to dip it with. Also the baby arugula salad which had pieces of grapefruit and lemon evoo which was refreshing.
Now, the ENTREES.
MY FAVORITE was the seared duck breast — WOW it’s probably one of the best ducks I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of ducks (big peking duck lover here). It was just on the medium rare side so it was perfectly juicy and moist, with a delicious sear on the skin. Let’s not forget the yummy potatoes & carrots. all in the dried cherry port-​demi. Sweet, savory, all in one!
The pan seared scallops were perfect, but the winner of that dish was the butternut squash hash — my friend couldn’t stop raving about it. For the third entrée we had their special of the evening: shrimp&mussels in puttanesca with squid ink pasta — made by them. delicious!
We ended the evening with fried oreos, the lemoncello cake & affogato. The affogato was average, lemoncello cake was surprisingly better and lighter than expected & the fried oreos blew my mind. I was a skeptic about the fried oreos, but now I“m won over!
If it were not for the cramped space and the overstressed waiter (who was hard to flag down and unfortunately spilled water on my bags and thus my new clothes were stained), they would be getting 5 stars!

I knew I wanted to have my bday dinner at a byob in the city that offered a pre-​fixe menu and could accommodate a large group (we had 10 ppl). Entrée fit the bill. The restaurant is small and cozy. However, we had to wait a while before our table was ready which when it is cold outside and they have no real waiting area, feels like forever. Once inside, they did a pretty good job taking care of us and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Popular apps/​entrees at our table were the calamari, seared duck breast, brick chicken, and NY strip. However, my favorite entrée of the night was the porcini ravioli that my sister ordered. I wasn’t expecting that, but wow was it delicious. Oh and don’t forget to save room for the fried oreos!
While it wasn’t love at first sight with Entrée, I was happy with our group dinner here and there are a few menu item that I plan on coming back to try.

Horray! I finally made it to Entrée and loved it! This amazing place has been on my neighborhood block for way too long before I finally got to experience it myself.
Sunday night, was pretty empty besides one massive birthday party taking up several tables. We sat near the back by the kitchen which was amazing, because the chef and our waitress came back several times to help us with recommendations. We were so indecisive, everything on the menu looked amazing!
We went for the $ 50 pre-​fixe menu, but they also have $ 40 pre-​fixe choices, and also a-​la-​carte. We decided to splurge.
ENTREES
— Half roasted DUCK — perfect! One of my favorite dishes, with an amazing cherry compote and delicious mini potatoes. You get the duck leg and breast.
— SCALLOPS with Ahi Tuna on top squid ink pasta — the scallops were cooked perfectly, some of the best tasting scallops I’ve had in a long time! The tuna was very tasty, and the squid ink pasta was the best squid ink I’ve ever eaten! I told the chef I’d rather a different sauce because every time I eat squid ink its way too salty. He promised me to try it, and I would love it, and if I didn’t he’d cook me a whole new dish, ha! Not needed! I listed to him and he was so right! I loved it!
— Surf & Turf — NY strip with lobster tail. This dish was very good, but doesn’t compare to the others. The lobster was great, but it was really the mashed potatoes that stole the show! We ordered the NY strip rare, it was over cooked, but the chef quickly cooked us a new one and it was perfect!
APPS
— Arugula salad was delicious, the goat cheese and one other type of cheese was the perfect topping, and the grapefruit slices were a nice refreshing touch.
— Calamari was amazing, and perfect texture.
— Crab Arancini was my favorite app, it was stuffed with a artichoke or spinach type dip with crab meat, amazing.
DESSERT — FRIED OREOS! Don’t try anything else! This was so much better than I was expecting. I’d order these every time!
Overall, the food was amazing, but for the prices I’d rate it 4 – 4.5. However, the service was so fantastic, Entrée BYOB deserves 5 stars from me. Our waitress was a sweetheart, and helped us a million times with all our questions. The chef was amazing, and came to our table a few times to check how we liked the food. The entire experience was just phenomenal. I love a great restaurant, where I can BYOB! Can’t wait to come back soon!

When I walked into this restaurant I noticed the restaurant was small. The size initially concerned me as I wanted to be able to enjoy my company without feeling crowded. After being seated, I discovered that there was ample space between the tables to enjoy the intimate setting and a personable experience.
Although this restaurant is small, it packs a powerful punch to your tastebuds. The salad was crisp and fresh while teasing all of your tastebuds in anticipation of the main course. I had the salmon which was moist & flavorful. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. The fried oreos were sweet but not over powering.
This restaurant is a gem to be discovered on South St.

I really enjoyed Entrée BYOB when my friends and I decided to have a girls night here.
We each did the $ 40 Prix Fixe menu and we each got different items so we could all try one another’s dishes. I had the Brick Chicken as my main dish and it was absolutely fantastic! I got the Wedge Salad as my appetizer and the fried Oreos for dessert. I also brought a Nutella Cannoli home for my boyfriend. Both of which were really yummy.
One of my friends got the Calamari as her appetizer and it was so delicious!
The portions are a really good size too. Definitely on the bigger end portion size, but not too big, which is fantastic!
Also, BYO, which is also always a big plus in my book! Definitely worth the money, $ 40 is a wonderful deal for the quality, amount of food and delicious flavors.
Definitely a place to go to again!

Had very pleasant evening at Entrée BYOB. I saw great reviews about this place and finally decided to give a shot. 6 of us got a big table near entrance. It was small restaurant so that was only table can accommodate big group.
We sat promptly and ordered $ 50 pre fix. It was great deal. We got all different dishes. Lobster tempura, cheese plate, prosciutto wrapped date.
I got cheese plate. They serve 5 different kind cheese I think. I liked blue cheese and fried goat cheese the most. It came with peanut brittle, pear slice, arugula and some bread. It was huge for appetizer and was great choice.
I didn’t taste other friend’s dishes but everyone enjoyed theirs.
I got seared tuna and scallop with ink pasta for main dish. The pasta sauce was eggplant and tomato based and it was delicious! And spicy!!! Scallop was good size and perfectly cooked. I liked scallop more than tuna. Pasta had very strong garlic flavor so I couldn’t taste seared tuna very well since I started eating pasta first. But overall very satisfying dish.
For dessert, got lemon mascarpone cheese cake. Yum yum yum. And also their fried Oreo… Was very good choice as others said.
The portion was huge and price was awesome too. Really enjoyed it. Place was small and we sat in front of entrance and people kept coming in so it got cold while dining. Except that it was fantastic restaurant.

My sincerest apologies to anyone who was at Entrée Saturday night and witnessed the debauchery that was my friend’s Bachelorette party.
The Entrée staff (and our awesome server Matt) treated us with patience and kindness that we definitely didn’t deserve. Thanks Matt! We had a large table at the back and we did not feel rushed or that the staff was annoyed even though I know we were extremely loud and obnoxious and closed the place down. They even brought us an array of glasses so we could polish off an entire bottle of Fireball. So classy, I know.
The Entrée menu is separated into 2 different 3 course set menu options ($ 40 and $ 50) and an a la carte section. Basically if you want an appetizer and an entrée it makes sense to get the $ 40 tasting and get a free dessert. The $ 50 option has some higher quality items like the lobster tempura.
I opted for the $ 40 option and had the arugula salad with grapefruit (a little heavy on the grapefruit but very refreshing), the duck breast (delicious), and the Nutella canolli (good but the fried oreos were better-​do not miss these, they are amazing). I tried a bit of almost everyone’s food and the tuna was really really delicious-​highly recommend. The short ribs were also great. The ravioli was just ok. The cheese plate was also a great first course and a good size portion. It came with a fried brie that was absolutely delicious.
I know a few of the girls did the $ 40 menu, a few did the $ 50, and with tax and tip (included since we were a larger party) and covering the Bachelorette the bill was only $ 50 each. Great value for all the food we got and how long we stayed there!
TBH I’ve walked by this place a million times and never had it high on my list because it never shows up on the blogs or the instas or the best lists and I’m basically a giant snob, but I suggested it for proximity and obvious (read: byob) reasons and was very pleasantly surprised! So if you want to be rowdy af, BYOB, enjoy a great meal, great service, and have a loud group, know that Entrée can handle it and won’t judge you. Really what more could you want in a restaurant?

Came here with my girlfriends for restaurant week and so glad we braved the weather to get here. Especially since we got zero inches of snow. Thanks, John Bolaris. In any event, we came bundled and ready for a great meal and we got exactly that. This is a super small place, so reservations are necessary (only about 12 – 14 tables in the entire place) and the tables are close together, so prepare to snuggle up with your neighbor.
For starters I had the calamari which was fried & very tastey– a nice portion. I also tried the argula salad and the wrapped dates which also delivered a lot of flavor and were great starters.
Our server suggested the Tuna and NY strip, so we made sure those were ordered. The steak was fantastic and seasoned perfectly. Served on top of mashed potatos with asparagas and delish sauteed onions. So great. I tried my friends tuna which was also perfection.
Dessert I had the fried Oreos which were seriously the bomb. Do people still say things are the bomb? Well these are. The Nutella cannolis were the highlight for my other two friends who really enjoyed them.
BYOB and they take plastic. Super duper.

I’m so glad I came here for restaurant week last night. We made reservations and didn’t let the snow stop us from Nutella cannolis. Our waitress was cool and made great recommendations. She said the tuna and NY strip dishes are the best so we went with that. The NY strip was a very nice size piece of meat and was cooked perfectly along with the asparagus and mashed potatos that it came with. My friend’s tuna was one of the best I’ve ever had. I enjoyed all of our starters and we had the calamari, arugula salad and the wrapped dates. I liked that the calamari wasn’t overly fried as most places do. The food was phenomenal. The fried oreos and Nutella cannolis were amazing. I normally don’t order dessert but when I return I must order the Nutella cannoli again– all the pastries are made by the restaurant and the cannoli is my new favorite in the city.
They take credit cards and are byob.
My only gripe is that the tables are too close together and I could barely fit in my seat with the table behind us so close. So I have to take off one star for that because it stinks to be uncomfortable with where you’re sitting and they pack the tables rather rightly since it’s a small place.
