Possibly not for everyone but I loved being able to sit so close to the kitchen...almost so close that I could have helped with the service that evening if asked. Fortunately for the other diners, my help wasn't needed as the food is excellent here. Very vibey and upmarket...more Manhattan than Brooklyn. Service very good too.

This restaurant feels more like a casual Manhattan restaurant than a hip happening Brooklyn joint. Most of the clientelle is middle aged, and look comfortably well off, which you need to be to affort to dine here. The room is faux rustic, though comfortable enough, if you get the right table (if not, you will be squeezed; you might consider... More

Loved the donut basket although a little skimpy, with 3 tiny donuts. The shrimp and Grits were very good. Order he monkey bread, wonderfully gooey. Loved the Eggs as well as the french press coffee. Busy place, and very nice atmosphere.

Went here for dinner with a group of 4 friends for dinner. Restaurant is bustling and lively with great music in the background, kitchen is open for all to see. Drink menu is extensive and there's something on (or off) the menu for everyone. The vibe of the place was certainly lively but not overwhelming. It was a pleasant sort... More

I went here With my wife and 2 friends and we had a great meal. The steak I had was perfectly cooked and my wife's Fish was really good as well. However, her Fish was a bit undercooked, but the restaurant fixed that and deducted on the bill. The desserts we had were not bad, but only ok.

This restaurant has become very popular among both the Brooklyn and Manhattan crowd. The menu is creative and the food is excellent. I had the striped bass and Brussels sprouts as a side.Best tasting Brussels sprouts I've ever had. We were quoted a 1 hr to 1:20 wait for a table and were seated in exactly an hour twenty. They...

Our visit here was delightful, surprising, delicious. The menu is eclectic, non-traditional, but you will delight in the variations on the theme of brunch. We especially enjoyed ricotta crusting, duck hash, monkey bread, and a variety of special cocktails.

I looked up this restaurant a couple of weeks before visiting Brooklyn again, and sent an e-mail where I asked for a table reservation. They never replied. However, I called them when I arrived NY, and they got me a table without any issues. Some restaurants just get it. From the moment I entered to the moment I left, the... More

You have to live in Brooklyn or know someone that does in order to find this place. Even though it is on Atlantic Avenue, it is hard to see even if you are walking by. If you are lucky enough to find it, you won't be disappointed. In two trips since December 2012, the food was simply outstanding-portions are adequate... More
