Finally find a place in Brooklyn Heights that makes French Toast right. Add bacon if you're in an adventure mood, won't regret.
Abbie StevensonDecember 31, 2017I like the oyster house in the back the best. GREAT Mac n cheese & brussel sprouts and awesome happy hour. But the oyster house is NEVER open and the restaurant is a bit stuffy so I don’t visit often
Stina P.March 20, 2016one of my favorite burgers in the city. amazing brunch in a tucked away spot of the neighborhood. try mix of baby lettuce, jacks burger and royal eggs
TK 🍦🍷June 2, 2013I walked in at 10pm with my date and we were given a corner booth; romance! The mussels and scallops are both divine. The "hippie" music is a wink amidst the gastropub setting.
christian svanes koldingApril 20, 2013moules frites are reliably satisfying and delicate: mussels served in a ginger-infused broth, fries enriched by flavors of lemon and parsley. good neighborhood spot. their old fashioned deserves kudos
pipituDecember 23, 2014Finally a chef who knows where the effort should be made to make a decent omelette, although there is still room for improvement. Pork sausage patties are quite delicious too.
DrewskiOctober 19, 2016Food actually wasn't that great, but liked the atmosphere and location enough to heart it. The wine/oyster bar attached to the restaurant is worth a visit for a drink.
Great neighborhood restaurant. Fave pick is the mussels and frites. Good selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Brunch is good, but aim to get there just as they open or late to beat crowds.
Alex BosworthDecember 2, 2019The pork chop is pretty good, I would skip the octopus starter though. Relaxed atmosphere
CompassApril 21, 2014This upscale pub is as beloved for the welcoming vibe and quirky vintage clock fixtures as it’s new American fare and craft cocktail menu.
Shayan ArtuzMay 2, 2015Mac and cheese was perfect. If you want a hearty meal, get the hanger steak or the pork chop. Semi casual place, not overly expensive.
Tessa BillJanuary 14, 2018Large portions. Shared the butter lettuce salad and short rib special, with the best bread pudding to finish
Men's Health MagNovember 10, 2011The wall of antique clocks is surprisingly relaxing, watching them tick on, unaware of their age, as you drink, fully aware of yours. If you need a distraction, go for the smoked gouda mac ‘n cheese.
Amanda RellaJuly 10, 2017Nice brunch spot in Brooklyn Heights. Nothing fancy but it's perfect during a stroll on the weekend.
sue qMay 17, 2015Nice neighborhood place ... Out if the way. Food was solid but with prices could have had a meal in Manhattan
Mac and cheese. Brussel sprouts. 1862 cocktail is sweet, then spicy. One of the best happy hours, and happens every day.
- much fancier than the name leads you to believe. i had a pancetta cheesecake and it was fucking good. service was on point/the waiter was kinda hot?
Nemanja BabicAugust 9, 2013Great, quiet place. Interesting cocktails and very good food. Gets busy on weekends at brunch time though.
Red FabbriAugust 9, 2014I almost don't want to say anything because it's the best (and only) neighborhood joint in BK heights worth a damn.
Fantastic drinks (cocktails) and the herb polenta with the slow cooked egg is absolutely mind blowing.
Jenny McMahonJanuary 21, 2015The burgers and the mac and cheese are outrageous, but to be honest, I've never had a bad meal here.
Bill RiordanOctober 16, 2011They get everything right here. By far the best place in Brooklyn heights. Old fashioned, trout salad, hangar steak is my goto.- Great food, great service. Looking for a fruity, summery, refreshing cocktail? Try the long bottom bramble!
etta ySeptember 6, 2014Really great food, nice neighborhood joint. Dinner reservations available (and recommended).
The New York Daily NewsMarch 7, 2011PHOTO: Did you know the house from "Moonstruck" is right down the block at 19 Cranberry? Here's Cher and Nicholas Cage on the set in 1987, at the link! Read more- Wesley VerhoeveAugust 28, 2014The atmosphere is just right. Nicely tucked away where people won't find it too much, hopefully.
- The grilled pork chop with butternut squash, fuji apples, maple glazed bacon, and spiced apple cider sauce is GOOD
Rahul GandhiOctober 18, 2010ummm, this place is awesome. the burgers and bloody marys rule. actually everything is good on the menu. force them to bring back the bloody mary with bacon in it.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 4, 2011Great neighborhood gastropub. Try the Macaroni & Cheese, The ‘Sokota’ Burger, or the Coho Salmon.
Jessica StarkJanuary 27, 2013For Sunday brunch, get the Monte Christo! The fries that came on the side were amazing too.- Shalaka GhogardareJune 27, 2012Get the "behind the knees" cocktail Cher and Nicholas Cage on the set in 1987, at the link
Great cocktails and delicious food. Everything is good. Try the Brussel Sprouts.
Solid Old Fashioned -- I modeled my version of the drink off of the one here + the one at the Jakewalk
Great old fashioned cocktail (and fantastic Mac n Cheese)
Gemma CravenJuly 27, 2011Get the table diagonally opposite the door. Great people watching spot. And the trout salad is delish.
Great old-fashioned and amazing mussels! Also crispy oysters but they aren't always on the menu
Leah Zelazny PoswolskyOctober 26, 2012might be the best Mac & cheese I had in a very very long time!
