" I can't say enough good things about Bar Tabac! The portions were generous, which is always a plus. Highlights for me included the grilled chicken sandwich and their warm artichoke salad. I loved the casual, unpretentious vibe and the staff were exceptionally kind. The only flaw I saw was that they were a bit understaffed during peak hours which can slow down service slightly. Overall, though, one of the best spots in Brooklyn! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bar Tabac is a hidden gem! Walking in, the ambiance felt just like a small Parisian café, which I loved. We started with the warm lentil salad and shared the charcuterie board, both of which were delightful. I ordered the lobster bisque for my main, and it was creamy and rich with flavor. My partner loved the duck confit. The staff were busy but very attentive. We left feeling satisfied and can't wait to bring our friends with us next time. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely stunning restaurant! Bar Tabac embodies everything I love about French cuisine. The escargot were superb, and the duck confit was the best I've had outside Paris. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was chic yet cozy. I must say, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it for the quality of food and experience. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night was my first experience at Bar Tabac, and while I appreciate the reviews surrounding this place, I found it fairly average. The pasta I ordered was slightly overdone, and the sauce was a bit bland for my taste. The ambiance was lively though, and our server was fantastic—prompt and friendly. I think I might try a different dish if I return someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend recommended Bar Tabac, and I went with excitement but left feeling lukewarm about my experience. The steak was decent, but it lacked seasonings which made it rather bland. The dessert, a chocolate tart, didn't impress me either. The staff was friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed. I think I might visit again to give it another shot—not every meal can be a hit. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit, and I found it quite average. The location is nice and offers a good vibe, but my food was lukewarm when I got it, which was disappointing. I had the salmon burger, which was flavorful but just okay overall. I was impressed with the bar's drink offerings, but the service was a little slow. I might come back to try a different dish but I wasn't blown away this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried out Bar Tabac and it did not meet my expectations unfortunately. While the atmosphere was nice, the food was a bit subpar for what I had anticipated from a French restaurant. I found my dish, the ribeye, rather tough and chewy. On the other hand, the dessert— a fresh fruit tart— was delicious. I may consider trying a different dish next time, but it was overall, not the best. " (*Curated Review*)
