Very cool space with something for everyone. The bar area is fun and the drinks are good. The food is delicious. I particularly like their chicken dishes. Burger night is also great.

Probably the best brunch in the neighborhood. Get the pork belly & artichoke hash and the blackberry creme stuffed brioche French toast. All the thumbs up!

Start with the crunchy sweetbreads in a tart rhubarb glaze or the asparagus salad, then progress to the big lush hamburger dripping juices or the nut-coated trout served with fennel slaw. Read more

kale salad and grass fed burger - grab the cozy corner table for two in the back. perfect lighting, perfect atmosphere in the heart of BK, perfect for a catch up with an old friend after travelling

We had the trout, charred beets, and the favorite bowl with chicken and black rice. Everything was delicious and the outdoor dining service was very well done. Great alcohol selection too!

Monday night burger night, with beef, lamb, pulled pork and chefs choice options! Excellent crispy shoe string French fries and classy drinks.

Spicy bloddy is light and flavorful but not heavy on the tomato. Kale salad is very unique, filling, and so worth it. Lemon ricotta cheesecake is a must have - rich and light, pefectly balanced.

You may not expect it from an excellent, slightly upscale neighborhood spot but their burger is not to be overlooked. If you're looking for something grown-up to eat, you can get it here too.

Start with the Carolina Shrimp with Creamy Polenta and the Black Kale Salad 🙌🏻 followed by the lamb burger for the main course. Great date night spot.
Kimberly AginNovember 23, 2014
Incredible food and drinks - everything we saw looked great. We did brunch Bloody Mary's, the shrimp w/ polenta, and the pork belly artichoke hash. SO good.
Reinaldo Deliz GuzmanJune 26, 2013
The food is excellent, very fresh ingredients. I had the trout and it was cooked to perfection. The only downside I found was that the place is very expensive. Be prepared to leave w\ a lighter wallet

A killer modern American menu, with execution to match the concepts. Also low key one of the best burgers you will find anywhere

Smoked trout focaccia and ricotta pancakes for brunch were superb

Monday night burger night is serious business
Jon ChanApril 3, 2017
Drinks strong. Service friendly but you really gotta work to flag 'em down. Food standard brunch fare, though the grilled cheese (I'm glad they didn't try to call it a croque) was delicious.
Linda ChowOctober 10, 2016
Seated right away for Thursday date night dinner. Ordered the pork belly appetizer and loved it so much we ordered another! Loved the food!
Meg FarmerApril 3, 2015
Kale salad and scallops were both delish. Kale says its a small plate, but totally big enough to share. Cozy atmosphere, good for an early date.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
Here on a Monday? Get the lamb burger—a half-pound puck, dusted in cumin, seared in a cast-iron pan, anointed with warm goat cheese & cipollini onions. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011 Read more

If you're just two people, they'll insist you sit in the middle of the restaurant. It feels like a fishbowl. Have a spicy jalapeño margarita to get rid of stage fright. Brioche toast = too big to bite
Adam RosenbergDecember 30, 2014
burger night! Monday. if you're fiending for a lamb burger, make sure to get there on the early side--they sell out! don't fear: the beef burger is extraordinary

Crazy good black kale salad...order that! Drinks are delicious, they take a little time...it just means they are prepared to perfection, so worth it!
AlexJuly 18, 2015
lemon ricotta pancakes and the pork belly and artichoke hash for brunch are delicious!
David BrahlerSeptember 1, 2015
Burger night on Mondays! Be sure to check the Chef Special, otherwise get the lam burger

Good dinner, good brunch. Great cocktails. Typical NYC watery Bloody Mary though.
GothamistJanuary 20, 2015
This Prospect Heights bistro serves a pretty standard classic Bloody Mary, but adventurous drinkers should try the fiery Bloody Maria, served with Jalapeño-infused tequila. Read more

The cucumber crab soup was perfect on this hot day! Jet stream cocktail = v. spicy! Service was awesome and we loved the light + space

sit at the bar. they make great drinks. order a hamburger. or lamb burger. or the spring onion soup. or the duck sausage and eggs. whole menu is great.
Rachel KonikNovember 11, 2012
Everything we ordered was beyond excellent, from the cauliflower soup topped with smoke trout ending with grilled lemon pound cake with figs and cream
Maya 🐟June 9, 2019
You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the pork belly hash is definitely the most right.
Kelsey✨January 1, 2016
Order a cocktail and try the honey-glazed pork belly. It's a small plate, so I recommend getting a side dish too
Rob HoliberFebruary 9, 2013
Try the Spicy Bloody Maria with jalapeño infused tequila. Comes with a pickled radish. Delicious if you can handle spicy

They're constantly refreshing their menu and have a great wine/cocktail list. Friendly staff, great service all around!

f you are in Park Slope/Prospect Heights, this is the spot. Modern unpretentious well edited menu. Intimate and decorated to perfection. - Brice Pattison

Serious cocktail list. For vegetarians, best to order a few small plates. Don't miss butternut fries.
Carmen NSeptember 5, 2015
Delicious. Menu changes, but you can bet that it will be good. Try scallops, have a cocktail.
Morgan J.March 9, 2015
Braised rib is delicious and the roasted chicken is very flavorful. They don't take American Express so make sure you have visa, MasterCard or cash.
Emily WApril 14, 2017
Came for dinner. If you're vegetarian, skip the pasta entree and get a starter + side(s). Pasta was disappointing but the kale salad is big and flavorful. All the sides look good.
Geoffroy BablonOctober 4, 2013
The service was extremely fast, despite us (or because of us?) being there a little late (9pm) on a Thursday. Super friendly too. Try the skate.
Martin WestJuly 18, 2010
Brunch- sadly the pulled pork kust tastes of BBQ sauce. If you do order, get a poached duck egg on top. french toast is great... In fact all thier carbohydrates ( bread, scones, pancakes) are good.

Brunch is fantastic. Great atmosphere, great service. Perfect for Sunday after church. Try the brioche french toast!
KassAugust 31, 2015
really cute, small joint, not too crowded. solid brunch. lemon ricotta pancakes were on point
Lauren SteinkeNovember 26, 2014
Happy hour may be old news? Went between 5:30-6:30 and no specials to be seen. The burger is $17. Everything looks amazing, but we won't be back for "happy hour".
Marina SinebokJanuary 6, 2017
The food is amazing! The bartender makes delicious cocktails! Will definitely come back here
Theresa FranciscoMarch 2, 2016
Intimate and great service. The food was fantastic. But i would say for special occations $$$

Part of the charm of this acclaimed eatery is the location: it's a jewel box tucked into a corner of two otherwise residential brownstone blocks. Read more

Go on a Sunday with a +1 for the Sunday Supper $30 menu. You won't have to make difficult choices and can get everything!
Varun ShettyDecember 9, 2012
Skip the brunch wait at Rosewater and come here instead. Blueberry pancakes, kale salad, and duck sausage are all great.

Lemon ricotta cheesecake with yuzu, mint, and blueberry brittle.
