An easygoing crowd drawn largely from the nearby Pratt Institute joins a diverse group of locals, where they nurse beers at the communal table or mingle outside on the trellised patio.

Great brunch spot
by kartah at Citysearch
A friend that lives in the neighborhood showed us this perfect brunch spot. We tried it out on a Sunday afternoon, and everything was great. If your drink is not fixed properly, all you have to do is ask your waitress and she will take care of the mistake. Plenty of room for large parties. Chicken and waffle was delicious. We haven't tried it out on a regular week day/night, but we definitely would like to go back there and try it out again.
- Pros: Nice atmosphere, comfortable setting
- Cons: Mixed drinks can be tricky for the bartender sometimes?
