Excellent food in Brooklyn at lower prices than equivalent in Manhattan and nice informal/casual scene. Check out the Foie Gras, Veal Porterhouse & the deserts :)

Not very many vegetarian options but the acorn squash with curried quinoa is amazing! Goat cheese mashed potatoes are a perfect side. Cookie dough egg roll for dessert = out of this world! I'd love

Great brunch! Food is great, but the service can be really slow...especially getting servers attention to get the check!

This remains one of the nicest spots in the hood. Try the duck confit salad or one of the prix fixe menus. The covered outdoor space adds to the seating.

34 oz STEAK IS AMAZING! Great for my fellow Carnivores! Try the bread pudding ! It's a great dessert. More on the pricey side; but worth every penny!

Great service and delicious cocktails. I had the tuna entree, which I wasn't crazy about. But if you're in the mood for a decadent desert, try the cookie dough egg roll.

Love the new cocktail for summer! Big Kahuna Bourbon. Take a trip to Tastytown and order one (or three) of these bad boys.

The king crab hushpuppies were delicious as well as the lobster gnocchi dish. service was awesome as well! Definitely would recommend

Savor: Kobe Steak - Kobe slices arrive saturated in their own juices, topped with a generous spread of thin, crisp onion rings, and goat-cheese-whipped potatoes. Read more

Nice decor ..good steak. Service is excellent. Order the dry aged porterhouse to share of available as a special. French fries were delish

Shortrib trio was an excellent way to start our meal. The dark chocolate/milk chocolate/white chocolate custard dessert was supremely tasty. As was the Bread Pudding.

Good-sized burger and fries. Loved the terrace — very quiet on a Thursday at lunch.
Chris RyanJanuary 30, 2015
Some of the best steak I've had. And the cookie dough egg roll is every bit as decadent as you can imagine.

Sunday brunch ordered at 12:15 - food arrived at 1:32. 100 sq ft kitchen and 1 chef is not enough for the increased summer seating. If you want to enjoy this great spot - bring a snack and patience.

Fried chicken is excellent, but strangely huge relative to every other dish I've seen. Order it, but be hungry. Steaks are great. Bit of a lag in their menu-lots of summer fare well into the fall.

Decent food, but overcooked meat for my taste. The place is a little hectic and they put their tables too close together so the waiters kept hitting my boyfriend's chair everytime they walked by.

Very Good Food. Especially the Porter House Steak. Get it with the Mac And Cheese

The cookie dough egg roll is out of this world, don't miss it.

You have to get the beer brined pork chop. It's amazing. Oh and the charred Brussel Sprouts. Yummy
Greg PalmerApril 21, 2013
Crazy rude brunch staff and for food and drinks that aren't worth it. I'm told it's a great place for a glass of wine at night.
Chris PlunkettApril 25, 2013
Food is great but Sunday brunch was very slow. Two tables who were seated well after us got their food 20 minutes before us. The meal was quite tasty but room improvement for the kitchen/wait staff.

Warm chocolate! Scallop appetizer. Everything is pretty good.

Its outdoor patio makes it a great place during good weather.

Great spill-over spot for when stone park is full. Wonderful garden seating.

I enjoyed the bone in ribeye. It was cooked perfectly.
Rachel NashOctober 30, 2014
The food was great, but the service was really outstanding. Love.

Too eager to wait till my entree to write this. Get the quinoa butternut squash entree as an appetizer for the table.

Great brunch spot! Can't go wrong with the dry-aged benchmark burger

Nothing, last time I was here a maggett was found in the dry aged rib-eye steak which was greatly overcooked!

Food is OK but service is lackluster. Get it together and this could be a prime spot.

Sunday rush came in around 11:30, so get there earlier!
