    The gemelli pasta here is rich and delicious, but not too heavy. The bar is made from salvaged pieces of piano and equipment from the Steinway piano factory.

    Bacon jelly. I don't know. But you can add it to your burger and explode from the ensuing awesomeness

    Try the brioche french toast on weekend brunch. Cocktails went up $2 dollars in price :-(

    The egg biscuit is the way to go if you're here for brunch. Good bloody Mary's too.

    I've been here a handful of times for brunch. The food is good but not outstanding and the service is hit or miss. The last time we were in for brunch on a Saturday, the service was very poor.

    Best restaurant in Greenpoint. Their tomatoes taste like candy. The bar is made with salvaged wood from the Steinway piano factory.

    Covered back garden allows for outdoor eating without glaring sun. Great biscuits.

    Bread is freshly baked in a little flower pot. Not only is it cute but it's AMAZING.

    this is no longer a favorite - quality has definitely declined. service is slow and prices are higher. burger is not worth $18 and brunch drinks are $9, not $5 now. bacon jam and OJ are good.

    Take some homemade spaghetti, add some sweet Italian sausage, winter greens, and creme fraiche. In the hands of, the result is pure bliss.

    Pork belly special app a must. Chicken and charred corn perfect summer dish. Only wish had room for donut dessert!

    The homemade burrata is sublime, as is the free bread baked in a flowerpot.

    Try the Egg Biscuit - Slightly over-baked today, but still a satisfying buttery egg sandwich!

    #ParadoxthatI'mfinewith they put salt on the butter but not on the table. Sel de mer puts salt on the butter too.

    The cassoulet was amazing - but if you can get it, they had a olive oil poached halibut special that was RUDE. Do whatever you have to. Beg, if you must.

    Food is good; $5 brunch cocktails are also good.
