Great Service, Interesting Menu, Upscale Dinning. 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.

Terrific. 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.

Solid High-End Brooklyn Dining. 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.

very average for the price. I would not rate it below average , if this restaurant was not overpriced. The food is over done, and out of touch with "reality good food". In addition, the wine list is as well overpriced. The server was very nice...but one star Michelin ???

Phenomenal. Our friends in Brooklyn had been talking about this place for a while, and we finally went last night. We had an amazing dinner that makes me unable to comprehend some of the negative reviews. The foie gras absolutely incredible, and the lamb special was excellent. While its true that the portions were relatively small, that, to me, is to be exepcted for food this rich. In short, we loved it and highly recommend it, enjoying it even more than Le Cirque.
