Excellent food in Brooklyn at lower prices than equivalent in Manhattan and nice informal/casual scene. Check out the Foie Gras, Veal Porterhouse & the deserts :)
Not very many vegetarian options but the acorn squash with curried quinoa is amazing! Goat cheese mashed potatoes are a perfect side. Cookie dough egg roll for dessert = out of this world! I'd love
This remains one of the nicest spots in the hood. Try the duck confit salad or one of the prix fixe menus. The covered outdoor space adds to the seating.
Great service and delicious cocktails. I had the tuna entree, which I wasn't crazy about. But if you're in the mood for a decadent desert, try the cookie dough egg roll.
Savor: Kobe Steak - Kobe slices arrive saturated in their own juices, topped with a generous spread of thin, crisp onion rings, and goat-cheese-whipped potatoes. Read more
Shortrib trio was an excellent way to start our meal. The dark chocolate/milk chocolate/white chocolate custard dessert was supremely tasty. As was the Bread Pudding.
Fried chicken is excellent, but strangely huge relative to every other dish I've seen. Order it, but be hungry. Steaks are great. Bit of a lag in their menu-lots of summer fare well into the fall.
Sunday brunch ordered at 12:15 - food arrived at 1:32. 100 sq ft kitchen and 1 chef is not enough for the increased summer seating. If you want to enjoy this great spot - bring a snack and patience.
Decent food, but overcooked meat for my taste. The place is a little hectic and they put their tables too close together so the waiters kept hitting my boyfriend's chair everytime they walked by.
Food is great but Sunday brunch was very slow. Two tables who were seated well after us got their food 20 minutes before us. The meal was quite tasty but room improvement for the kitchen/wait staff.
Benchmark features a New American menu focused on pasture-raised animals and locally-grown produce. The restaurant features a section of à la carte steaks.
