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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Alex BosworthDecember 2, 2019The pork chop is pretty good, I would skip the octopus starter though. Relaxed atmosphere
sue qMay 17, 2015Nice neighborhood place ... Out if the way. Food was solid but with prices could have had a meal in Manhattan- Tessa BillJanuary 14, 2018Large portions. Shared the butter lettuce salad and short rib special, with the best bread pudding to finish
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.
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- 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?
Amanda RellaJuly 10, 2017Nice brunch spot in Brooklyn Heights. Nothing fancy but it's perfect during a stroll on the weekend.
Mac and cheese. Brussel sprouts. 1862 cocktail is sweet, then spicy. One of the best happy hours, and happens every day.
Nemanja BabicAugust 9, 2013Great, quiet place. Interesting cocktails and very good food. Gets busy on weekends at brunch time though.
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.
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.
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.
etta ySeptember 6, 2014Really great food, nice neighborhood joint. Dinner reservations available (and recommended).
Jessica StarkJanuary 27, 2013For Sunday brunch, get the Monte Christo! The fries that came on the side were amazing too.
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.- Wesley VerhoeveAugust 28, 2014The atmosphere is just right. Nicely tucked away where people won't find it too much, hopefully.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 4, 2011Great neighborhood gastropub. Try the Macaroni & Cheese, The ‘Sokota’ Burger, or the Coho Salmon.
Gemma CravenJuly 27, 2011Get the table diagonally opposite the door. Great people watching spot. And the trout salad is delish.

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)
Great old-fashioned and amazing mussels! Also crispy oysters but they aren't always on the menu- Great food, great service. Looking for a fruity, summery, refreshing cocktail? Try the long bottom bramble!
Great cocktails and delicious food. Everything is good. Try the Brussel Sprouts.
- The grilled pork chop with butternut squash, fuji apples, maple glazed bacon, and spiced apple cider sauce is GOOD
Definitely don't pass up the Mac and cheese. The cocktails are also great.
Christine LiangDecember 4, 2011Mac n' cheese good enough to rub all over your face like moisturizing cream.
Leah Zelazny PoswolskyOctober 26, 2012might be the best Mac & cheese I had in a very very long time!
Vivie BOctober 18, 2011With these prices, you'd think you would be in Manhattan! Great Mac and cheese though.
