Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Park Slope

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. The seating area is fairly small and the tables are tight, but the food is worth being a bit cramped.

One of the best Italian meals I have had in New York for the past two years. The olive bread was perfectly baked and the chili oil that came with it was a nice complement. The Italian chopped salad was absolute perfection. The chicken marsala had a crisp skin and was mouthwatering all the way through. Our waiter, Matt, was remarkable. We will definitely be back.

Excellent as ever. I have been going to La Ripaille for more than 20 years and it never disappoints, especially in the holiday time. It's a West Village legend for a reason: apart from the amazing food, the staff is always warm and inviting, and that has no doubt a lot to do with Alain, who has been the captain of this gem of a ship for decades. Word is its days are numbered and I will be sad to see it go. Its continued presence in an ever-changing NY was, and for now, is a comfort.

such a lovely dining experience! a cool ambiance and very sweet & attentive team. we had luke chin tod, mama e-la, and khao pad rod fai gai — all 3 were cooked to perfection but the mama e-la was my favorite. cocktail menu has a creative selection and tasted nice. we will for sure be visiting again!

We had a wonderful time. The service was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We had some off menu requests and they accommodated them with no hesitation. We were celebrating a birthday and got to really enjoy our time there. The space was definitely a vibe. Can’t wait to go back.
