“Absolutely loved everything. One of the few places that hasn’t disappointed me lately.”

“And my octopus and lamb were bad and covered in salt.”
H3
“My friend and I both agreed it was a WOW moment of the many dishes we got (the crudo being another one.) We’re both big restaurant/bakery/all food things people and my mouth is watering thinking about it now.”

“The food was excellent, but I’d caution that I think this one only works if you’re going as a couple.”

“food was fire. Sorry you had a bad meal but I thought the grilling was great and the dry age process added a lot of flavor to the fish. The Swordfish belly was unreal.”

“I had an amazing birthday dinner at Theodora in downtown BK. The restaurant is so chic and lively, but not too loud.”
H3
“However, I don't believe it's worthy of the hype it gets + the back room is so loud and they create this ambiance that is so chaotic that it's really hard to justify ever wanting to go back.”

“the black cod at Theodora is ridiculously good. Tender, smoky, creamy, and a little sour. Delicious.”
H3
“The ceviche was very good. The octopus was ok, but strange flavor choices - it had a sauce that tasted like bbq from a bottle. Lamb was pure salt.”

“Short review- All of the main dishes were good but if I had to pick one, my favorite was probably the trout.”

“i think mediterranean places in brooklyn like miss ada, olea, and theodora have solid vegan by default (i think) dips and grilled veggies”

“two color fish at Theodora”

H2
“Theodora was so freakin good. The octopus stole the show for me”

“Theodora has a good mix of raw dry aged crudo and wood fire grilled fish dishes.”

“But I do think Theodora gets by on ambience, hype and cool factor.”
H2
