   Although this restaurant is in this really nice architectural building, everything else about the space and design didn't hit me as awesome.

   I think the two great aspects they have going for them is the service (maybe by chance) as our waiter was so attentive and great, and the full bar they offer.

   Our waiter was so kind and patient as we were with someone who had little to no table etiquette. He took his time explaining the items on the menu and taking our order. Patience is definitely a virtue.

   My husband ordered a couple of cocktails and I, wine. The wine was a house merlot. It was alright but my husband said his cocktails were great and I'll take his word for that.

   The items we ordered were sub par? Mediocre? Nothing to write home about? Really. Very unimpressive with the dishes. Of all of them, sadly the fried pickles were the best 🙁

   I asked that my burger be cooked at a medium rare temperature, it came to the table charred and pretty well done. The same went for the steaks we order. I never order anything above a medium rare and all came at a medium well temperature. Quite disappointing.

   So yes, besides the drinks and the service I would not return for food.

   I was there one night with some friends and we where seated upstairs on the second level and had a very nice time.
   Waiters where quick and most helpful, the food was also very nice and tasty.
   I ate for appetizer the fried pickles which I think is very tasty and interesting and is worth a try if you like tasting and experiencing different food.

   After hearing great word of mouth reviews on this place at their Manhattan location, but seeing all the negative reviews at the Brooklyn location, I felt I just had to see for myself.

   This review is not a judgement on the reviewer who wasnt seated presumeably because of her low neckline. Which is actually one of the reasons I hesitated coming here. I thought that was either extremly disgusting behavior or a gross misunderstanding. Either way, it should not happen anywhere. If it wasnt a misunderstanding, then I think they should get rid of whomever it was that turned you away.

   That being said, I came here last night with my wife, and we were greeted very nicely last night. The place has an Ethan Allen modern look and an interesting floor. The floor is made of pennies.. thousands of them, covered with a shelac or sorts.

   When we arrived, the place only had a few tables seated. So rather empty. There are two levels. After we were seated we noticed everyone asked to be seated upstairs.. I suppose that was the prime seating and were a little surprised and trivialy  annoyed that they didnt offer us to sit upstairs being that the place was practically empty.

   The waitress greeted us very warmly and offered up the daily specials. When we ordered, my wife asked if one of the sides could be swapped out, and without hesitation, she did.

   The food came rather promptly. We ordered for the appetizers, the tuna tar tar and the Sesame Rumaki. It was really good and very nice presentation.

   My main meal was the Hangar steak ordered medium. It came out perfect. very soft meat.. with a what seemed like a wine sauce.

   My wife got the veal special and stated it was fantastic.

   The only quips I had with the service was that the waitress never came to see how we were doing and if everything is OK, nor did the busboy come to refill our glasses with water.

   The waitress only came after the busboy had wrapped my leftovers with food to go.

   Overall I really enjoyed the food and service. They staff was warm and pleasant and the food was very good.
