It was an amazing experience! Right outside of Forest Hills Station is a great gem, serving delicious food & drinks while providing attentive service. Best part of the night was when one of the staff offered to reheat my cacio e pepe after noticing it was sitting on my table for a bit—I literally swooned, I love that attention to detail when it comes to the food experience! It did get a bit hot as the kitchen is close to the dining tables but it felt cozy, like being at home and feeling the heat surrounding you as the family cooks and gather in community together. The whole night, my brother and I were rating out of 5, and Brassica Kitchen + Cafe gets a 4.5/5 from us, we will be back!
