Went for brunch on Sunday. Food was pretty good. Lack of two stars because of service.
Everything is solid about this place but the service, which was nuts the night we were there. They appear to be doing some sort of free for all style of service, which resulted in a ton of confusion. A while after we had ordered, around the time we were starting to wonder about apps, the server came over and said they were out of an entree we had ordered. (Actually, they said they were out of chicken, because we ordered a chicken sandwich, and Melanie was pissed when the table next to us got roasted chicken like an hour later. I knew what they meant, but she has a point.)
I digress. So we ordered something else, to replace the entree, and it came out immediately, well before our apps. Then, our server came over and asked if we had decided what we wanted to replace the sandwich with. I was like, "yeah, we're eating the replacement right now" and "where is the rest of the food we ordered?". She went away, someone else came back and asked what else we ordered, a third person brought it to us shortly after–which was nice that they got it to us quickly. Server B came by and asked us how it was, then seriously 30 seconds later, server A came by and asked the same thing.
I won't even get started on my experience asking for a description of one beer. Ok, I will: it was like asking what a pepsi tastes like and having the person very clearly describe a sprite. How do you say, "I know what you are telling me is incorrect" when you are the one asking the question!
Good place though. I'll go back. I'll manage my server more closely though. And I'll be very sad if they take away the broccolini.
Literally across the street from my friend's apartment. Nice spot for a glass of wine. Didn't order any food but it smelled good. French music was playing in the background.
Had the cheeseburger, which was nicely cooked and composed. They use monchego cheese, I think, which is unusual but really works. Delightful cumin-y mayonnaise elevates the sandwich. Fries were superior. Service was pretty quick and professional even though the place was busy. I was alone, do just amused myself by reading the poor reviews for this place. Like the runt who thought her martini was crummy and then bolted after sandbagging her date with the $150 wine. It must be nice to coast through life without any consequences.
This is corner resturant you should visit when in Brooklyn. The eclectic menu offers a variety of fresh oysters (a must try) small plates and dinners.
Experienced the heirloom tomato salad that was earthy and delicious. Also had the baked chicken with Israeli couscous/potatoes with tomato (this dish takes sometime to cook but well worth it). The meal was crisp and comfort food at its finest!
This place is on point and must have, especially the chicken dish and oysters!
Good cheeseburger! Best I've had in a while and good ambiance. The worst service I've ever had… We didn't get seated even though it was late and there were 2 tables open and no one ahead of us, no water or napkins given to us until we asked, drinks were slow, and our food was sitting and waiting under the heaters for a long time, and we had to stand up and go up to our waitress to ask for the check as she was sitting and hanging out at the bar. The other people there were helpful, but our waitress was the pits.

This healthy and hearty plate of grains mixed in with colorful and fresh tomatoes, grilled corn, scallion, and cilantro with a side of creamy eggplant yogurt was so delicious that I kept coming back for more. The chef told me that this particular item is not on the restaurant's menu, but I strongly suggest that they make this their signature dish!
We came as part of the LOADed Cocktail passport. The bar is in the middle of the intersection which is pretty cool. It's very cosmopolitan and with dark wood and large windows! We went around midnight, and there wasn't much of a crowd. And as a result, our bartender was a little busy flirting with a customer – so service was slow. Unfortunately, the drinks were only average. We got Laird's Applejack and Perry's Tot Gin based cocktails. The drinks were okay, but not as good as Donna and Randolph Brooklyn. But good atmosphere and great reviews on the food – unfortunately the kitchen was closed so I can't really address that aspect!
