Their drinks are delicious! I recommend the fried chicken.
Ice cream = $1 cheaper if you buy it from the cart (vs. off the menu). Chocolate = da best. Salted caramel is good too.
Delicious Sangria! "Small plates" such as the yogurt pork ribs have become HUMONGOUS.
katie naglApril 16, 2009Venture to Fort Greene to see what NY Mag has been raving about. Order the ham and gruyere bread pudding! (ps: BAM is within walking distance if you want to catch a movie)
Christina ChoiAugust 12, 2010please get the thick cut candied bacon and the salted pretzel ice cream!
Chris HolmesNovember 4, 2010GF raved about the sandwich she had for lunch so I dragged her back for brunch. Her scrambled eggs and kale were bland and my skillett was so so. Menu said "sausage and gravy" but what I got was meg
get the Celerita or the Greene Lemonade, made with celery and cucumber, respectively. seriously refreshing on a hot summer day.
Salted caramel ice cream is spectacular and so are all the cocktails. Oh, and the mac and cheese. Yum!
The bacon scallion biscuit changed my life! The new pastry chef is awesome!
Antoine (IHMDJ!)September 21, 2009The Pepper Ribs are served with a pink colored yogurt sauce... looks slightly bizarre at first, but tastes amazing

"DEFINITELY get the walnut crusted chicken breast! Also, new location has outdoor seating - great for people (and dog) watching."
Maggie LeVine - 8.5
"Check the specials. If the shrimp with pimenton is on the menu, call me immediately—and save me a seat. The Roasted Daurade dish will change a bad day to good. Great cocktails. Great espresso bar."
RJ Dugan - 8.7
"So stoked the broccoli kings of Brooklyn are back. It’s perfect and comfortable and perfect and delicious. Get the fried broccoli for sure; burger and fried chicken are definite winners."
