Joe KanakarajNovember 8, 2015The fried chicken sandwich is by far the best chicken sandwich I've had in Brooklyn. Everything there is always fantastic.
Victoria HarveyJuly 23, 2017had the veggie burger with fries and it was delicious! my mom and sister both had the grass-fed beef burger and loved it too! soda was a little watered down though
Mark KupasrimonkolOctober 16, 2015Can't beet the surprisingly delicious borscht salad. Deconstructed like the Soviet Union and almost as large.
Alex HunterJanuary 10, 2022Really gorgeous space. Simple breakfast menu featuring some sweets. I’d like to come back once the weather’s warm to enjoy their patio.
Maria LambertMay 23, 2015Savory French toast is amazing for brunch. Can't go wrong at dinner- everything is great. Menu has improved a lot since first few months they were open.
lanamaniacAugust 12, 2016Get pretty much any course and try the cocktails. You can skip the dessert. The outdoor area is awesome and the service is great.
Ryan JorgensonOctober 12, 2014Nice ambiance, decent music. Pot pie was a good vegetarian option, but Veggie burger was a bit dry. Definitely try the corn spoonbread. Borscht salad was great too. Cocktails were well executed.
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 19, 2018Loved the salmon, cheesecake, and the sour cocktail w egg white in it
Try one of their cocktails! The Los Suicidas Mezcal cocktail is great - also the Zelda Fitzgerald & Autumn Garage #2!
Linda HarrisonAugust 29, 2022Burrata is such a good combo of ingredients. Sweet, savory, salty. Very balanced. The war and peas is so light and refreshing
Get a side of the off-menu smoked potatoes, they're smoky, salty, and delicious.
Tim HettlerNovember 27, 2014Excellent music selection and notable cocktail menu; vegetarian choices are thoughtful and delicious. Get dessert.
Jeigh HallJuly 14, 2019Food was good drinks were good, decor and ambiance was nice too! And service was great!
Ramona SorianoJanuary 22, 2015Brunch! I love the pancakes with blueberries. Must get a mimosa! Savory french toast too. Yum yum!- Ramona SorianoSeptember 14, 2014Exactly what this neighborhood needs...an every mans restaurant with elegant delicious food.

Aileen OlmedoDecember 27, 2017Came for brunch, sat by the window and had really good food👌🏼. Get the Parmesan French toast!
Ania ZimnochNovember 7, 2014It's one more of those reclaimed wood, subway tiles and old-fashioned light bulbs kind of places. Food is good tho. Had Cubana sandwich and short rib entrée, which side could have been bigger.- Alex HunterJune 9, 2022As promised, I came back for the patio and it didn’t disappoint. Ordered the charred romanesco, risotto, and burrata and left each plate clean.
Juan Manuel Lázaro MartínezDecember 27, 2016The Veggie Burger with blue cheese is great!!! Excellent!
Lucie PustovaNovember 10, 2017Butternut squash risotto is key, burger is delicious, and they have really good cocktails.
The burger is great, A+. Get the toppers! Really solid fries, too.
KathleenOctober 30, 2014best food I've eaten in ny. good music and amazing food. get the mashed potatoes.
Lauryn GoldbergJanuary 29, 2015Everything is really delicious here, however the burger is just so-so.
Mike ByhoffNovember 9, 2015Don't know why I keep going here. I think I just really want it to be good? But it's just not. Slow service, food is inconsistent at best, and the menu is kinda boring. Really nice space, though.
miles lennonAugust 31, 2016Decent brunch but the service wasn't great and the prices exceeded the quality
