“Mabu Kitchen is the small, intimate restaurant you're always hoping and looking for. A menu that isn't too long, a little bit French, a little bit comfort food, and just a lovely experience. It's perfect for both dates or a nice dinner with a friend or friends. I like supporting this neighborhood restaurant, and hope others do, too!”

“This place is great, I've been coming here since they opened. Owners are amazing people, place is set up great, and food is solid for all meals, not just brunch. Definitely a great addition to amazing Washington Square.”

“An eclectic and very interesting cuisine, offering delicious starters and entrees, and is served in a lovely, quiet and cozy ambience by a friendly and attentive staff. We have now tried brunch and dinner and both were excellent. A hidden treasure on Pine Street.”

“The weather may be wintry, but warmth, comfort and friendly service radiate dependably from this intimate, romantic BYOB. I think I just had my 18th visit there. I have eaten every single dish on the menu. They keep getting better. Speaking as someone who was born in the south, a New York expat, a lifelong Francophile and a snobbish foodie who is not easily impressed, I say EAT HERE ASAP. This place will charm you. I'll probably be moaning with pleasure in the back corner.”
