Although I haven't tried their tasting menu, I finally got to try Prospect's wagyu burger! (On their Monday burger night, of course.) For $8, it comes with lettuce and tomato, and you can add cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, various sauces for $1-2 each and even chicken liver mousse ($3). Sadly it doesn't come with fries, but I ordered them as a side and they were absolutely perfect. I believe Prospect recently decided to offer their entire menu on Mondays, and not just the burger.
I came with some friends around 8pm and the restaurant was completely packed and VERY loud. Fortunately, we grabbed tables outside and enjoyed the balmy air and our juicy burgers in peace. My only criticism is that the burger meat drips through the brioche bun and makes it a really messy experience. Service was friendly, and our water glasses were always filled.
The waitress told us that someone used to get a bunch of burgers and feed them to HIS DOGS. I'm now sure that being a dog in Fort Greene is how you live your best life.
Must. Get. Brussel. Sprouts!! Great place that is just about an 8 minute walk from Barclays center. We went during happy hour and they had some great options like $10 burgers, $1 house made chips and $6 drink specials. About four of us sat at the bar and had cocktails and bar food. Everything was delicious…the stand out was BY FAR the Brussels! So crispy and unexpectedly splendid! The bartender was nice – the bar is heavy on the whiskey, bourbon, and offers limits vodka drinks-but he made a mean martini! Will definitely come back here.
Yum!
What a fun place. Great atmosphere. Great food!
We had the tasting menu are were not disappointed. Creative, simple, fresh and best of all tasty.
Prospect! The second establishment in Brooklyn with that monkier to open up within the past few years. Yet neither of which are in Prospect Heights. Such a shame.
Prospect offers the best high end dinning experience in Fort Greene in my opinion. And that says a lot.
They offer top quality dishes with the best ingredients. Everytime I have eaten here I had a wonderful experience.
The menu changes. And changes a lot, which I appreciate. I've had/tried several different dishes here. The ones that stand out are the bass (No treble) and their foie gras. Nothing I ever ate ever disappointed me.
So why 4 stars? I've came here for drinks once and was not been pleased.
The heart of Fort Greene lacks a bar that makes wonderful cocktails. So to get a good spirit forward drink, one must venture to a restaurant.
The cocktails and beer selection was always good when I ate at Prospect so one night I figured to try them for drinks. Sat at the bar and started to order up some of my favorites. I asked the bartender to pay as I went. He insisted I pay at the end. I informed him I had already eaten and wasn't going to get any thing to eat. He still highly suggested I pay all together. All the drinks I had tasted great, however they weren't that stiff. As a result I was three cocktails and two beers in without the slightest of buzz. At this point I figured I should head elsewhere. At that time I was handed my bill, which of course was taxed. Of course it was! Now I don't know if my bartender had done this intentionally, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and still tipped well. This however left a bad taste in my mouth, after having so many great ones at the establishment.
I'll return for a good dinner, but never for drinks.
This place should be great. Great location. Interesting menu. Friendly staff. Cool aesthetic.
Why does it smell like a men's room?
Came here with my parents to wash our previous meal down with some drinks. This review should be kept simple because it was simply a great time.
Everything I loved:
1. A great happy hour (good prices)
2. Great friendly staff (like their service is impeccable they are so sweet and professional and great with recommending things)
3. Beautiful ambience so intimate and a bit quaint
4. Drinks are amazingggg
This is the type of place you're glad you found and will be even happier to return to. Waiting to see Noah again (he's such an entertaining bartender). My pekoe punch was so refreshing.
Love, love, love this place! Can I give them the 6 "stars" they deserve? The chef and cooks know what they are doing here! The owners know how to make the customers pleased and content with happy bellies.
I have had the scallops twice now, 2 different styles and both are amazing. Desserts are always delish- esp the tres leches! The banana caramel cake is on point.
The seating at the kitchen bar is really cool and I would love to come back to have my next dinner there- hopefully the lamb dish and mushroom pasta, pici.
Habana Outpost next door was packed and didn't want to walk too far, so ended up here for a nice quiet dinner. Dark and classy on the inside but opted for the outdoor seating (a few small tables).
Waitress was very nice and went through a lot of the menu items. Decided to not spend a king's ransom on food, so settled on sharing the mussels ($21) and pairing with a beer ($7). Food came out about 20 minutes later with a large pile of mussels swimming in a coconut curry sauce along with two toasted bread wedges. Sauce really made the whole meal, which was great to scoop up with the shells or soak with the bread. Satisfying.
A lot of the main items here are expensive, but a good selection for happy hour.
