What to Eat at The Third Brooklyn Lounge How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For The Third Brooklyn Lounge, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

“Amazing food, even better service. We had a bit of everything while visiting, the pizza was delicious, the pasta carbonara was so nice with the beef bacon, the macaroni cheese was divine and they even made me up a little side salad which wasn’t on the menu which was very thoughtful, the prices were also so reasonable! Sharon, our server for the evening was so lovely. So attentive but not over-bearing, she made sure we had everything we needed throughout. She was so polite and professional, we would definitely come back again not just for the food, but because of the lovely service we received. Thank you Sharon for making our visit so welcoming.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Build in extra time, especially outdoors, because a diner reported waiting 30 minutes without table service.
Set preferences. If ordering pasta or pizza, specify how much spice, cheese or sauce you want; one review found these flavours too restrained.
Expect noise. If you want a quiet meal, check whether the ice cream-making demonstration is running near your table.

Common Concerns
Slow service
Service can be very slow: one table waited 30 minutes outside without anyone attending to it.
Food inconsistency
A return visit found greasy fried wings and bland pasta, with the diner attributing the change to the main chef being away.
Price clarity
Ice cream prices were reportedly not displayed before two cones were charged at 40 dhs.
Dish concerns
One diner said they felt sick after the truffle mushroom pasta and found the salad very poor.
Noise
The metal scrapers used to attract ice cream customers disturbed one guest enough to shorten the visit.

The Bottom Line
The Third Brooklyn Lounge is an Italian-American restaurant and café on Dubai Marina Walk, where the setting is as much part of the proposition as the food. You can order familiar dishes such as the classic burger, truffle pasta, pizza and pasta carbonara, then finish with ice cream or ice cream rolls. Outdoor seating brings views of the Marina skyscrapers, while reviews describe the décor, music and overall atmosphere as comfortable and lively.
Service is a real strength when the visit goes well. Diners repeatedly mention polite, friendly staff and managers who make an effort to welcome guests, and one review praised a ribeye cooked medium rare exactly as requested. Smoothies such as Mango Paradise and Caribbean Kiss also received enthusiastic mentions.
The experience is not completely consistent. Some diners found meals fresh, hot and quickly served, but others reported bland pasta, greasy wings, weak seasoning or a poor salad. Delays are the biggest practical warning: one table waited 30 minutes outside without attention, while another described long waits even when the restaurant was nearly empty.
Ask about ice cream prices before ordering; a reviewer said two cones cost 40 dhs without displayed prices. If flavour matters, spell out your preferences for spice, cheese and sauce when ordering.
