The Scene
Saul Bolton's popular restaurant opened on Smith Street in 1999, just as Carroll Gardens was gaining a reputation as a fashionable dining destination. The spare, 48-seat space has hardwood floors, pale yellow and exposed brick walls, a pressed tin ceiling and a fair amount of room in between tables.
The Food
The brief New American menu changes often with the seasons. Selections include dishes like tuna carpaccio with fennel-apple-avocado salad; roasted chicken with yellow corn, baby carrots and Swiss chard; and pepper-and-coriander crusted sirloin with roasted shallots, sauteed spinach and potato puree. Desserts include updated takes on old-fashioned numbers, such as baked Alaska made with a chocolate wafer crust and served with Myers' dark rum sauce.

I actually came here today for dinner. We went around 6:30pm on a Saturday without a reservation. The place had only a few people inside and we were seated promptly. The service was amazing. Our water was refilled continuously and when I accidentally dropped my knife, two people came to replace it right away without me having to flag anyone down. We were first given a complementary soup dish. The dishes on the menu are interesting, not traditional. My friend ordered the skate, I ordered the squib. We also shared an appetizer which was a mixture of pasta, seafood and an egg on top. The dishes tasted good, but definitely not the usual things use see on menus. the desserts left something to be desired. When we asked for the check we were given complementary chocolates. A very nice experience. We left around 8:30pm and the place was packed.

Amazing food. Great ambience. No vegetarian entrees on the menu, but Saul will make you something great if you just say what vegetables you like.

Came here a while ago for an anniversary with my girlfriend. Loved the intimacy of the small, exposed-brick dining room. The food was very good, albeit overpriced (as was the wine). The server was very gracious and friendly. We noticed that the patrons skewed to the older set, though this was a weeknight. DOesn't get a lot of buzz, but that's a good thing.
