Sebastian Behar PiqueroOctober 21, 2017A Brooklyn-Brazilian mix with a juicy beef served in a toasty pao de queijo bun and topped with cilantro pesto onion sauce. Sweet potato fries and a spicy sauce on the side.

Chloe HeathSeptember 12, 2016Everything on this menu is amazing. Actually everything about this place is amazing - drinks, space, food. Love the duck tacos and mezcal margaritas
KESeptember 19, 2017Ambiance, outdoor seating option, for lunch get the shrimp tacos & chicken quinoa bowl. Ask for coffee ice cream for dessert. Service was great. They have outlets and a beautiful space for working. 🌿
SheenFebruary 22, 2023eggplant & farro and mac & cheese are both amazing, veggie poblano pasta is skippable, delicata squash and cheese bread are great; pink drink is the best, the cucumber tequila one is okay-ish
Alex HeathSeptember 12, 2016Everything. The steak: amazing. The drinks: on point. The vibe: unbeatable. If the weather is nice ask to sit on the patio - it's the best in the neighborhood.
Bin YangApril 18, 2016Latin American influenced but think of it as your go-to neighborhood steak joint. Get the eggplants to start, then the steak (rare for hanger, medium rare for skirt) and share the Mac n cheese.
Aline VelterSeptember 4, 2021Cute and cozy place in Fort Greene, everything is delicious here. Last time I got the golden fish and it was the perfection specially with the orange wine and the carrots side to complete the meal.
- You can’t go wrong here, but my favorites are: the CV Burger (top 5 in NYC), the chilaquiles, and the shrimp tacos. Wash them down at brunch with a La Picosa owhile soaking up the sun in the garden.
local fort greene spot. everything is delicious. the octopus and sweet potato fries are a must. grab a seat at the bar or a table on saturday and feel like you're in a latin american country house
Gregory FisherDecember 2, 2018I seem to be disagreeing with everyone, but beyond loving the space, nearly all the food at dinner was disappointing: burger, pichana steak, and brussels. Carnitas tacos and churros were pretty good.
Village VoiceSeptember 11, 2014Try the Chef's Steak -it hits the table with an expertly charred crust, the interior marbled & juicy. Served with a smoky salsa verde and caramelized onion-spiked mashed sweet potatoes. Read more
Marissa SutherlandNovember 10, 2021great cozy tapas mixed cuisine dinner. would love to come back and try more with a larger group. loved the eggplant mole &ceviche. would skip having the pork belly and mushroom arepas again.
lovethesecities.comMay 25, 2017Beautiful back garden, friendly service and well procured wine list. Duck Confit Tacos were brimming with flavour. The steaks simply did not cut it, not seasoned well enough nor tenderised.
Great outdoor seating, highly recommend the grilled arepas, langostine and shaved brussels sprouts cesar salad for appetizer – you can’t go wrong with the wood fire grilled chef’s steak
Ruby AnayaApril 20, 2023As someone who loves bone marrow, the new menu item was not my fave. Too smokey. Really love the clams tho.
- Nate FolkertSeptember 17, 2014great backyard for when the weather is nice, and a glass enclosed patio for the feeling of outdoor dining when the weather isn't so nice
Emily WilsonNovember 2, 2016Cozy vibe, esp. on a cold night in the back room. Steaks are affordable and tasty. Get an order of roasted mushrooms to go with yours.
Kenneth JanssonMarch 23, 2014Was here for brunch. Quinua cake with poached eggs were great. They serve coffee from La Colombe and next time I'm having the chipotle infused vodka made Bloody Mary.
Kaisa HernbergJuly 11, 2016Stylishly cozy, the greenhouse is lovely on a summer evening. Excellent food - we loved the grilled baby aubergine and Brooklyn mess dessert.
Carly DahlMarch 21, 2019Chicken & cilantro rice deeply satisfying. Great wine list w/ all female winemakers. Service stilted & inattentive - we had to flag someone down literally every time we needed something.
DanNovember 22, 2015Octopus and duck confit tacos were pretty good, the hanger steak was excellent, and the chicken was solid. Wine by the glass was great as well
Santi AmayaAugust 1, 2015Get the grilled chicken or the steak. Perfectly cooked. Try the Chili Wili cocktail if you want a good cocktail with an interesting spicy kick to it
refinery29August 3, 2014The Scotch eggs are tiny masterpieces — hardboiled eggs wrapped in sausage and topped with blistered kernels of grilled Mexican-style corn. Read more
Erica CorlitoApril 26, 2014Everythig was delicious. Steak, Brussels sprouts ceaser salad, ceviche, horchata. Place is really beautiful. However, service was sub par. Still well worth a trip!
Andrew WingertSeptember 12, 2016Hanger steak was delicious with the side of mac and cheese. Atmosphere in the evening is very relaxed.
Incredible back yard. Asado on Sundays. Best wine list in the neighborhood.- Vince C.September 30, 2015Definitely treat yourself to the roast chicken & duck confit tacos. Finish it off with a side of the green beans - they were surprising!
Marianna FierroMarch 16, 2017Really enjoyed all the eggplant dishes! Octopus and burger were tasty as well.
Lots of amazing steak on the menu, but if red meat isn't your thing, try a few different appetizers and you'll be happy.
Danielle BrizelAugust 26, 2016Amazing courtyard in the back. The burger is very unique with a bun made from yuca & cheese. Surprisingly great!- SheenOctober 5, 2022golden tilefish and grilled baby eggplant with cauliflower were both great but the mac and cheese is truly the star 🌟
Ohilikechickn .July 15, 2017Good food overall. Nice and quiet place for a date; however, lighting is too dark for my taste + the service could be better. Try the picanha and the esquite salad👌🏼
Phil KatzOctober 4, 2015Fantastic weekend brunch. Make sure to order the "gringo churros" (i.e. Sugar donuts with chocolate sauce)
Robb FerrisJune 14, 2018Went for the CV burger and a michelada for brunch...so good. If that doesn’t fix your hangover you were beyond saving
Patrick BiesemansMarch 15, 2014Sit in the back. The horchata rum is amaze. Helen, usually behind the bar, is super sweet!
- Nate FolkertSeptember 17, 2014chef's steak with salsa and mashed sweet potatoes and avocados - low carb, high protein - $32
Annie LyJune 22, 2016great outdoor seating in the back. get the café con tres leches for dessert. you're welcome.- Nate FolkertSeptember 17, 2014they stowed the old liquor sign that fell off the front of the building out back above the wood pile
Sean DalyOctober 22, 2017A surprisingly fantastic bolognese. Also make sure to get the pao du queijo appetizer
Emily HeywardMarch 9, 2014Steak is outrageously good. Awesome cocktails, great space, great staff and music. Lamb sliders are overrated.
aneessa steilenNovember 22, 2015Duck confit tacos are a must. Big portions, plan on sharing because everything is so tasty.
Holly BrittonJune 21, 2019Try to sit in the backyard (weather permitting) and order the burger! Cocktails are scrumptious too.
