If you got the time and 2 bottles of wine...... It was a wonderful little place for our nite out. We enjoyed the food...its byob and there is a wine shop around the corner with a nice selection. The food was very good but waiting over an hour for an entree after finishing our apps was crazy..what was worse was when we asked if we would get our food soon the overly chill waiter dude replied ," I dont know". GREAT RESPONSE. Seriously its a great spot but have 2 bottles of vino and nowhere else to be if you go on a weekend nite. We kicked our bottle and had nothing to drink for the dinner that arrived almost an hour and 20 minutes after our apps!

Best French food and Best Seafood in Brooklyn!. I went there for the first time for an early Friday night dinner. The restaurant itself is very unassuming from the outside and the location is hidden - it's tucked away on Hicks St right next to the BQE. I passed it by chance when I walking to Red Hook from Cobble Hill, and I would've never noticed it except I decided to walk on Hicks Street. We got there at 7PM and if was already getting crowded. Had delicious whole Branzino with fried oysters. I can honestly say it's probably one of my best dining experiences I've had in Brooklyn (food and service.) Compliments to the chef! Very nice waiter - attentive and friendly and the seafood was excellent. Decor added to the experience - it was very eclectic and rustic - lots of different decorations of fish. I will definitely come back! At LEAST once a month!

ADDRESS CORRECTION. The address listed on this website is incorrect. 144A Union Street (entrance on Hicks Street) Brooklyn, NY 11231 For someone that only began eating fish several years ago, I'm hooked!!! Its great food and ambiance.

Best Seafood and Quit Friendly. The food is prepared to order and always fresh. The service is friendly and excellent. The environment is reminiscent of my grandmother's kitchen and her back yard in the summertime. Thanks to the staff and chef for a great place to eat and relax. Have eaten here several times during the past few months and am headed there now, with my wife and our friend (his first time). Never disappointed!
