"One of the rare places where, while expensive, has always left me feeling like I got a good deal. The food is flat-out outstanding, I’ve never had a dish that was even just “good.” Even the salads are “how the hell are they doing this” excellent. The atmosphere is elegant but not stuffy, and judicious use of sound treatment means it never gets noisy, even when packed. It’s a small thing, but being able to carry on a conversation without raising your voice really heightens the experience for me. Finally, the service is perhaps the most impressive. Attentive, knowledgeable staff, and some of the best bartenders in Brooklyn. Sit at the bar and your water will never be empty, you drinks will never be empty, your dirty plates will be gone immediately, all before you even think to ask. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. It tends to fill up but go early and sit at the bar. You won’t be disappointed!"
