Danielle PurslowMarch 26, 2018New favorite brunch spot. Turkish eggs and monkey bread are delicious.
Great restaurant! Living wall is so cool and open kitchen is mesmerizing! Try the spaghetti squash! Great selection of oysters!! We'll be back again and again...
Ariel DavisJune 3, 2012Amazing food! Great vibe. The scallops with carrots in some kind of purée were heavenly. The cool hand cuke cocktail is my favorite cocktail ever. So refreshing!
DensFebruary 24, 2014Even if you are so full that you can't even consider dessert, you need to order the "Date Cake" -- it's like lick-the-plate-clean-good which is exactly what we did and it was weird.
Trae FAugust 24, 2015A great place to splurge and order the steak. Friendly staff and great cocktails.
The most fantastic addition to the neighborhood- worth the trek to BK if you live in a different borough. Menu changes often. This place is so fantastic they can even make brussle sprouts taste good.
I love this place. Easily the best restaurant in the Hts. Cool hand cuke, duck rilette, spaghetti squash, la Crotta Pinot. Palette heaven.
william robinsonMay 19, 2021every single thing i’ve had has been great. i’ve been ~10 times over the past couple years and it never disappoints.- $1 oysters from 4pm to 7pm, plus amazing cocktails and killer burgers. menu is full of yummy small dishes, too.
Erika PerziJuly 5, 2016Spaghetti and crostini are good, but for a place w oysters - they only offer one kind for a 1/2 dozen order. Who does that? Skip the grilled salad. Heard brunch is good, not worth hype for dinner.
David HuJuly 28, 2014The steak comes with a very small steak knife. It does the job if you try hard enough. Then again, real men don't need to cut their steaks.
Daniel AllardJune 25, 2018The foods as good as all the other reviews say about it! And awesome service, ambience and mocktails too!
Iris BasicJanuary 17, 2013Amazing food and service! The crostinis and seabass were pure perfection and we got to sample desserts for free. Great staff!!!
Emily KolodnerAugust 11, 2014Fun twists on classic dishes, great cocktails, cool space. Great for brunch or dinner, but don't expect a bargain.
Liz CohenJuly 21, 2013Order the pork chop entree with couscous. Cooked perfectly, juicy, flavorful, just right. Also the ricotta, mint and honey crostini.
Rob HoliberJune 15, 2013Anything with peas. They are fresh and crunchy. Simple ingredients. Also get the baby lettuces with buttermilk and herbs.
MidgeMadge DSeptember 4, 2011Just wow. Might be my new favorite Brooklyn joint. Standouts: The hanger steak, the heirloom tomato salad, sweet corn, egg salad and ricotta crostini.
Amber GardnerDecember 6, 2011Colonie is amazing from start to finish! I didn't even realize I liked beets until I had them at Colonie. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. A must visit!
Tessa BillJanuary 14, 2018Monkey bread is amazing! Great spot to sit at the bar and enjoy a fabulous brunch.
Doesn't matter what you get for dinner, it's all good... Just make sure and get the sticky date cake for dessert.
- Connie WilliamsOctober 1, 2016Love that they cleverly use everything, very little waste for delicious food. Great drinks, too.
Shrutika SachdevJuly 29, 2012Small decor details make this simple place special. Duck Hash and Asparagus and gruyere scramble with sticky date cake for dessert! All very good but the ice-cream with the cake was way too salty.
This Burger. Get it even if it's not "on the menu" today. Just wow.
Eric JaffeDecember 22, 2019Best restaurant in nyc? Lamb belly, octopus, creste rigate, warm doughnuts. All A+
eric bornemannJuly 22, 2020Solid place for dinner on Atlantic. Food isn’t remarkable but is well done and nice atmosphere.- This place is amazing for brunch. The duck hash (with egg) and the biscuit benedict are very good. Coffee is ok
Savannah PetrickMay 19, 2016get the blazing saddles to drink and the gemelli with ricotta, peas, basil, nettles, & pecan pesto to eat
The place does get crowded. I made the mistake of asking about the status of my table after 45min and got YELLED at by one of the owners (Max?). Too bad, it's around the corner and food is delicious.
V RDecember 16, 2015Black pasta was great. Also loved the custard-like desert with dried blueberries.
Damola AbiolaNovember 19, 2012Some of the brunch dishes, like the poached egg and salad thing, are tiny. Like, appetizer-tiny. If you're hungry definitely ask about portion sizes before u order. Good food tho.
get the shrimp and grits with an egg. also ask for a side of siracha to go with it. perfection.
Mell PerlingSeptember 1, 2014Shrimp and grits are excellent. Leek and mushroom scramble was ok, but similar dishes are done better elsewhere in the neighborhood
Steff HindOctober 28, 2014Amazing brunch! Scrambled eggs are delish and you can get filled doughnuts.. #brunchpudding- I personally don't think French toast is the time or place to get creative with your toppings.... You'll have to ask for butter and syrup.
ChristinaDecember 14, 2015The ricotta crostini & fresh doughnuts w/ caramel custard were both incredible.
Hannah DNovember 18, 2011Garlic soup, egg salad crostini and duck breast were the best of a few items. The Loire chenin-blanc paired well with the crostini- Chad HornerSeptember 17, 2018everything on the menu is delicious, surely you could not order wrong here
Menu changes daily so I can't tell you what to order, but I'm pretty positive you'll leave here happy. Great staff, great food, great ambience.
Alexander LeedsJanuary 15, 2014For ambiance and standard fare, best spot in the area for Sunday brunch, despite lots of competition.
Get everything to share. Except the Cool Hand Cuke cocktail. That one's just for you.
Great addition to the neighborhood. Michelle at the bar is a pro. Nice set up, great service an food. Check it out!
