My boyfriend purchased a living social deal and after reading the yelp reviews I was pretty nervous yet kept a positive attitude.
At first we tried calling the phone number listed on yelp but it turned out to be a random guy's cellphone # and he was not a bar that served brunch. Poor guy!
We then emailed them and wrote on their Facebook wall as the phone number on the coupon and their website did not work. NO RESPONSE! Seriously? We are begging to make a brunch reservation and you are making it difficult for willing customers despite your horrible yelp reviews?
We then tried to get a refund from living social. The site responded by saying they are answering the phone. So a week later we made a reservation for brunch. UGH!
The Saturday we went was very rainy and cold so at noon there were only four other people dining at the restaurant with one waiter who seemed a bit new to the scene and slightly stressed. He was very nice but as other reviews state, the service was very slow.
For drinks, I tried the pineapple mimosa and the grapefruit mimosa. The grapefruit was the best as it was strong. A good morning cocktail. I ordered the kale salad which I thought was too salty. I was never raised to add salt to my meal and I usually do not enjoy salty things.
My boyfriend ordered the burger which was very typical and came with fries. It could also come with potato salad if he chose.
My favorite were the wontons. Super yummy and full of flavor. We also ordered the potato croquettes which were incredibly bland and not worth ordering.
The living social deal included the tax which was awesome so not funny business with extra tax/included tip.
Overall, I see what the most recent reviews are saying. I think this place is a standard 3-star brunch and has room to grow. I would consider returning in a year or so.
This place is awesome!
Service is friendly, although it does depend on the bartender.
Beer is typical in price.
It wasn't crowded when I was there but it did pick up at night. Seems to be popular with people who work in the area.
Their fire in the hole burger is amazing. Their french fries are skinny and addicting. They're like crack:)
Oh and they have a fireplace now that winter is showing it's head!
The unassuming bar behind pretty typography is exactly what this place is. The place has an enticing menu but once you actually get the food it is not as described. Lapin and I ordered the boneless wings (good but a bit dry), the buffalo sandwich (dry and came with a different cheese and toppings than described — along with getting a hair baked into the cheese), truffles fries (okay, not out of the world great), fried oreos (awesome, promised to come with ice cream but came with whipped cream), and fire in the hole burger – well done (Lapin thought it was spicy and was just okay). The service was okay, they never came to check up on us or even refilled our waters. Definitely going to avoid, maybe if we want drinks but nothing else.
One star for the fries.
Awful distracted service. The waiter was uber flighty.
One star for over cooked burger that didn't match the description.
$4 drafts, tequila Tuesday something, $5 wells/wine read the sign. Good selection of beers on tap. I came here to kill time before the last yelp event in Brooklyn. One of the bars in the area was shut down or closed and really I had no idea where I was going and just ran into this and a sign outside. Armed with Stephen King's "The Stand" and an "I'm running late" from my plus one, I figured, well, this is better than standing around on a corner on Fulton Street. Yikes. Had Strongbow Cider and a Laguintas IPA. Lots to choose from on tap. Nothing extraordinary, but nothing boring either. Seemed like a proper British pub in the middle of a crumby area of Brooklyn with a pretty great happy hour until 7pm. A lot of locals come in here after work for a pint. Most of them I was shocked were in the same situation and on their own so I didn't feel as awkward. Their food, though, not sampled, smelled pretty good. Lots of interesting burgers and sliders (some coated in a Guinness Glaze, Peanut butter, or spicy peppers/chipotle), chicken pot pie, fish and chips. On the bottom of the menu they even have listed home-made donuts and wait for it – deep fried oreos!
I'm such a fan of this spot. My coworkers were VERY confused where I was taken them, but when we walked in they were surprised how cool and different it was from the outside of this area. I stubbled upon this place when I worked in the area. I really have to say this is my "cheers"!!
The waiter was VERY accommodating for my birthday ALL evening. He made sure he took care of the drinks and the food to ensure it came out in a fashionably matter. He knew when to ask, get, and grab. he was engaging and made sure we were taken care of all night. I got the burger with truffle French fries (bacon and cheddar cheese) & a $4.00 blue moon (that's a deal). They had Happy Hour for another hour and half and everyone was very excited. We all loved the spot and I think my coworkers will be back with or without me. I will defintly be back. I come here at least once a month.
