Best meal I've had in New York!!! Amazing wine list and a delicious seasonal menu. Risotto, snap pea salad, and mocha bread pudding are a must! Loved the complimentary samples. Sit in the garden!

As the name implies, this veggie-focused restaurant is a go-to for seasonal picks from roast game and winter squash to wildly popular signatures like french fry “salad” topped with wild mushrooms.

From the complimentary amuse-bouche to the gingerbread steamed pudding, this place is worth the splurge. And when weather allows, try to get a seat in their garden. Read more

It’s pricey, but for one of the best bargains in the borough, try the Green Plate Special - $40 for the four-course veggie tasting menu. Read more

The staff is attentive, the food is delicious, and the restaurant is cozy! Make a reservation -- great place for an anniversary dinner or intimate date!

The best food I've had at NYC so far. This is a small place, and rated very highly so reservations are almost impossible to get. I got lucky as my cousin's friend cancelled hers.

For a light lunch, try the Chopped Salad – it’s perfect. For a light dinner (or as a starter) the Noodle Salad is a must.

Amazing small plates. One of the best meals I've ever had in NYC. Only 11 tables so call ahead.

Grab a table in the garden when it’s nice and try the BBQ Duck Sandwich (for lunch) or the Seared Sea Scallops and the Duroc Pork Chop for dinner.

One of the best meals I've had in NYC. I really like the people, too. I will return again and again.

Holy moley this place is good. Two plates per person is plenty -- cauliflower, duck and the hen were the favs.

They had us at French Fry Salad! The Shell Peas & Sugar Snaps are also a CITY GRIT favorite!

You will not be disappointed!! Chef is awesome! Excellent service!

Low-key, high-caliber. Gracious service and excellent food - perfect for your parents or a really good date.
Alex WinterSeptember 18, 2011
Focus on desserts, this is the strong point of the restaurant! Go for appetizer and dessert or entree and dessert.
Brady DaleApril 18, 2014
Really really good, but pricey. Wine is way high and what you think is an entree is just a little dish. Super good, but dear.

The chef here is also the owner and it shows! The food and service is excellent.
Ari GreenbergJune 8, 2013
Everything was good, but very few dishes really stood out (with the exception of the sorbet palate cleanser). For the price, we expected more.
Ilana LeykekhmanNovember 22, 2014
Food was delicious and seasonal. Plates are small served family style.
Mike ScheinerJune 30, 2013
Highly recommend the tasting menu, pretty awesome!

Lamb stuffed cabbage is perfect on a cold rainy night

Get a reservation, enjoy one of the better dinners you'll ever have.
Steve WaxApril 11, 2009
Go and order a meal, but also one of Sharon's amazing deserts. Chosen as one of New York's (not just Brooklyn's) top ten restaurants a couple years ago by Zagats.
Jason HowieNovember 11, 2012
Try the beets and cheese raviolis. Amazing.
Onur OzgodeNovember 25, 2014
Tasting menu was heavenly

If this isn't a perfect restaurant I'm not sure what would qualify.

My favorite restaurant on Smith Street.

One of the best meals I've had in Brooklyn!

The small plates are not that small and each dish was tasteful

Sunday pancakes!
Mike O'DeaAugust 3, 2009
If bacon is on the menu, have it. Charlie makes his own in a smoker in the garden and its quite good.
Jeff ChwastOctober 22, 2010
Try the caramel cognac ice cream...but there's no cones in it.
Adam WishneuskyMarch 28, 2013
Venison. Mmmm
Yael FeinermanSeptember 10, 2011
Been here 25+ times
The best. Always.
Paul RozarioJanuary 9, 2010
Try the faro if it's on the menu.
Mike O'DeaJanuary 27, 2012
Stand awkwardly in the pass
