“Round 2# was a fierce peak into the dinner menu, post "working all the kinks out," of recently opening.”
“I was greeted by a very interesting fellow and we talked a great deal about artificial intelligence, human extinction, the presidential election, astral projections and near death experiences.”

The restaurant was a low-key spot that was clean, simple, and modern. There were stairs leading to an open seating area with wall to wall windows looking out on the street. Service was good and there was a varied drink menu, but the dinner menu was limited. I ordered the chicken which was served over grits with brussel sprouts and a blackberry achiote. The vegetables were fresh and crisp and I LOVED the blackberry sauce. The portions were kind of small though and I was still a little hungry by the time I left. I tried my friend's eggplant, which I typically love, but theirs was a little bland.
The location is vintage New York, as you make your underneath the J train tracks and through the discount stores and bodegas of Broadway, but the vibe is decidedly Miami.
Our party of three (I was the third-wheel on this particular evening) took over a large semicircular table across from the bar, so we didn't get to experience the elevated dining room. Instead we were rewarded with close views of the enclosed kitchen and bartenders. We saw our carefully constructed cocktails and craft beers come right over to the table.
My entree – a special for the evening – was a luscious crab pasta, with just the right amount of cheese mixed in. It was $16, which was very fair.
I understand this is from the owner of the Bossa Nova Civic Club, and some of the preference for a reinvention of Art Deco-era nightlife is reflected in the decorating choices here. It also shares the sense of being slightly ahead of its time of this part of southwest Bushiwck.
But just as Bossa Nova has turned into a neighborhood institution for its queer-focused dance parties and embrace of the City's trap scene, I can see the demand for an upscale, yet reasonably price place for dinner and a cocktail or two.
Small gem in Brooklyn. Hidden away in a part of Brooklyn that I normally do not venture into, I came here for breakfast/brunch. Had the Juno Benedict and was not disappointed. I will be going for the sage egg sandwich next time since I saw it being served to another patron and it looked amazing too. The hot chocolate here is made fresh (I can tell by the taste) and just make sure you stir it up extra when you get it to unlock all the chocolate flavors locked away at the bottom of the glass.
