LORE - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 Paul Vassar: After having brunch here I will definitely be back for their dinner service. Definitely worth checking out. Tried the biscuits & gravy, full 2.0, pancakes all were solid renditions of the traditional meal with a twist. Callout - The French press is a full French press not just a personal sized one

5 /5 Niu-Niu Nie: Updated - another visit - 11/02/2025! Every visit is truly such a treat. Jay genuinely puts in the most effort to ensure everyone feels welcomed, checks in with you - stranger or friend - and makes you feel right at home. Jay and the team at LORE go above and beyond, keeping alive what now feels like the lost art of true hospitality. 10/16/2025 - Always the best vibes at LORE. Chef Jay and his team are the most hospitable every single time! I always leave with the fullest and most satisfied because the food is absolutely delicious.

5 /5 A Booth: Came here and ordered alot of food and tried it all! Place is popular as it’s full for dinner during week so make a reservation in advance. Staff were helpful and attentive all night and helped us with recommendations. Our top dish was the prawns, but some other standouts are the steak and dosa.

1 /5 Alona Malynska: 1/5 ⭐️ Deeply disappointing for a Michelin star restaurant I have NEVER been to a worse restaurant with Michelin star in my life. And never been so disappointed in a place that charges as much. Food: (horrible) - absolutely everything is very spicy WITHOUT any mention of that in menu - poor presentation - cheap low quality ingredients - burnt - absolutely NO flavor to food except spiciness Ambience: - loud and tables are too close to each other that you can feel a breath of a person sitting in a next table Service: - we have been waiting for our food for over an hour even though we were first in restaurant - waitresses didn’t know anything about their drinks and when we asked for semi sweet wine the brought us super dry without even warning that they don’t have other options Not recommend this place. Sorry.

4 /5 Olga Egorova: Came here for the NYC restaurant week on 08/17 (we were told that had ended, but after we showed the information on their website that explicitly said it runs through August 17 including Sundays, they did honor it). The menu was great, everything we tried was scrumptious, portions were just the right size. The place is nice decorated and would be very cozy if it were a little less loud. Our final bill had a Rethink fee added to it, which wasn’t advertised anywhere and I feel like there should be more information on what that is (there’s a website indicated that you can check but I would prefer it to be explained more explicitly. I don’t mind supporting non profits of that sort, I just don’t feel it should be forced onto people like that).
