"Who says you have to choose between the jaw-dropping views from the rooftop of the Wythe Hotel or the impeccable menu of the Reynard? You don't. Enjoy farm-to-table dishes, updated daily based on what's in season in one of the most elegant buildings in Brooklyn. Graze on brunch as you bask in the warm summer light, then head up stairs to the roof for a drink and take in all the city has to offer." - Krrb
"Reyna, a Toronto import near Union Square, serves food with Turkish, Greek, and Spanish touches. We tend to prefer their seafood items, like the crispy octopus on a bed of green harissa sauce and salmon tartare with lemony labneh. The space is massive, and the dim lighting and low-key music make Reyna feel like a cool lounge, so come here for drinks and small plates when you want to have a whole night out in one place." - team infatuation
"Reyna, the recently opened New York offshoot of the Toronto original, brings unique flair to the Pornstar Martini." - Ty Gaskins
"Reyna, a Toronto import near Union Square, calls its food “Mediterranean fusion," so you'll discover Turkish, Greek, and Spanish touches in dishes like their signature lamb shank baklava. We tend to prefer their seafood plates—get the crispy octopus on a bed of green harissa sauce and salmon tartare with lemony labneh that will remind you of lox and cream cheese. The large dining room is filled with teal and light pink velvet seating and a very long white marble bar—the dim lighting and low-key music make Reyna feel like a lounge, so come here for drinks and small plates when you want to make dinner your whole night out. Don’t miss their fun bathrooms, solely lit by “Your kiss is on my lips” and “Mine is bigger than yours” neon signs. photo credit: Ryan Emberley" - Kenny Yang
"I visited Reyna, an import from Toronto near Union Square, and found a hulking, glitzy space that specializes in food of the Mediterranean rim: a boxcar-like room up a ramp with an arched shelved bar, pink ostrich-feather lampshades, and spindly trees casting dramatic shadows. Expensive appetizers dominate the menu — miniature Turkish manti (5 for $19) in spiced yogurt, one-bite lamb "baklava" bonbons with bright yellow gravy ($8 each), and a smart take on French fries (potato sticks in a brown-paper cone, $12) where the Spanish version is deliciously heaped with chorizo and cheese. Lebanese tacos (one falafel, one chicken) were good, and showy cocktails like the fruity King Arthur’s concubine ($19) arrive with a glittering spoon of tapioca pearls and a sprig of tarragon. A $72 paella arrived lavishly furnished with clams, mussels, squid, baby octopus, shrimp, and chicken but suffered a bitter aftertaste that lemon couldn't fix." - Robert Sietsema
