Ingas Bar - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 Mike Hejmej: A hidden gem and one of the top restaurants in Brooklyn heights / downtown Brooklyn. Everything is a must try, you can’t go wrong. Great for sharing. Vibe is excellent at night and when it’s dark. Top picks: fish stew (small portion, very unique), agnoli, burger and fries, gem salad

5 /5 Charli Kaminis: Inga’s is the perfect middle ground between fine dining and a classic American bar. The decor is effortlessly cool with vintage prints lining the walls. The space is open, with a large dining room and a semi-secluded bar area towards the back. Tables in the dining room are quite cozy, so prepare to be close to your neighbors. Moody lighting and votive candles add to the intimate feel. The food is delicious, boasting unexpectedly complex flavors without being pretentious. We shared a bunch of small plates, two entrees, and a dessert (Beef Tartare, Fluke Crudo, Agnolotti, Duck Breast, Steak Au Poivre and Olive Oil Cake). The agnolotti with butternut squash and hazelnuts may be seasonal but if it is on the menu when you go, it’s a MUST. Literally to die for. Highly recommend Inga’s if you’re looking for a spot to grab dinner in Brooklyn Heights.

5 /5 German Bosquez: Our third visit here, and the food and atmosphere never disappoint. With 4 of us coming, we make an early reservation (they had no tables from 6:30-9:30!). We were greeted warmly by the hostess and had a round of wines (nice selections by the glass). The tomato toast appetizer was a crisp and refreshing way to start off our meal. We ordered the halibut (tender, juicy, & flavorful over a bed of corn, kidney beans and tomatoes) and chicken schnitzel (surprisingly tender chicken - these are so easy to overcook!). Both dishes were fantastic! We finished with their homemade key lime pie, a favorite of ours, and I think the best in Brooklyn. Ingas Bar has become a wonderful local restaurant we have no trouble recommending or bringing good friends to. Well done!

3 /5 Marienyc1 The city girl: The food was excellent but the portions were scanty . I ordered the agnolotti with butternut squash, there were maybe 5 pieces in the plate . The sauce was well prepared with hazelnut and squash . It was very small for $21 . The chicken dish was good . It was roasted and there was a fennel flavored sauce with it but there was no side dish with it , just 4 small leaves of radicchio ($29) . The dinner was good but I left hungry . The place is noisy and does not feel cozy .

5 /5 Grace Kieun Shin: Dinner at Ingas Bar was lovely! It wasnt perfect, but I loved the coziness of the restaurant and food was overall fantastic. It will definitely be a go to spot in our neighborhood. The good: gem salad, octopus, burger, and the poached pear dessert (which I think might be a seasonal item). The octopus was amazing - it may have been my favorite octopus dish Ive ever tried. Not the best: the roasted chicken was too salty for me. I would skip this item. Service wasnt bad but it wasnt the best. It was fast/efficient but the way our server put down our starters felt off (like I wasnt sure if they wanted me to take the plate from their hands or if they were going to put it down) and they seemed kind of annoyed. It was a packed and busy restaurant so I get it.
