    Was perfect place to meet up with friends for a bite to eat and cocktails before a 530 entry to the David Bowie exhibit. And, they had Bowie playing on the sound system while we dined. Shared several small plates -- all delicious.

    We were told the food is made for sharing but the portion isn’t big. So we ordered 7 dishes to shared at the end. Foods were fantastic, it was the best after I tried quite a few nice listing in Manhattan, but no smiles welcomed us. One of the staff accidentally spilled our wine but did not apologise.

    We were excited to visit but ended up leaving largely disappointed. Service was friendly but mostly slow and inattentive, some of the food was unexpectedly spicy in ways that were unnecessary (the chimichurri dipping sauce for the fries is hotter than any chimichurri I've ever had, which was particularly disappointing given that one of the other three sauces is "hot and spicy," leaving us with only an uninteresting saffron option)even to the point of being inedible (e.g the calamari, which wasn't described on the menu as spicy). The sliders were very good as was the shrimp, but two big misses on four dishes makes for a disappointing evening -- particularly when you can't get a waiter's attention, no one comments on the fact you are not touching one of the dishes at all and the busboy doesn't bring the items asked for. I'd say skip it.

    We just shared a few appetizers and had a Bowie themed cocktail prior to seeing the Bowie Is exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. The hummus was flavorful and satisfying. Our server JJ couldn't have been more pleasant. He went out of his way to ask the bartender for a vegan option in a cocktail I was interested in and made sure to ask the chef if there were additional vegan options available. We purchased a bottle of rose to go as well. Wonderful experience!

    They recently changed their menu and it's a change for the worse. they seem to be only offering small plates and its a limited selection. i hope they go back to their previous approach.

    There were two of us- out for an afternoon in Brooklyn to see an art exhibit at the nearby Brooklyn Museum. The food was good; most of what is on the menu (which is select) was what I would classify as comfort food: calamari, mussels, beef sliders, brussel sprouts, mac and cheese, Spanish tortilla (which seemed more like a quiche). All of the food was good quality and properly prepared but nothing that I would rave about. Our server was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is pretty basic. The wine list and possibly some of the drink specials are the real "pull". For what we ate it was a little on the pricey side for something so casual. In another location the price would have been 15-20%. Then again- it is NY.

    The food was excellent! I've been here a few times with my husband for brunch. Our server J.J. was great. We love the restaurant. It's definitely a must try.
