This Brooklyn institution with excellent food and drink has exceptional cocktailing and understated but delicious food served in handsome environs, somewhere between old world class and today’s cutting edge. This is a classy joint but not a stuffy one. Refined but not fancy. Deliberate but not precious.
The food: Eclectic bistro-y menu. Everything is executed with precision but many are meant to be eaten with hands if that gives you an idea. Duck pate, steak tartare, deviled eggs; spaghetti & clams, burgers, fried chicken. It’s not redefining anything, just doing a very nice take everything.The curry-crab flatbread, for example, is a small plate but you could happily eat two servings as a main.
The drink: They offer beer and wine but cocktails are the main attraction.
