Kingsley HarrisOctober 14, 2012Wow. Talk about a great dinning experience. The menu is seasonal with great attention to detail. The service is above and beyond. They know how to make you feel special. Lots of nice surprises!
MatthewJanuary 19, 2013For our late Sat lunch on a cold rainy day, hamburger ($15) was a surprising consensual favorite, beating the Mexican egg sandwich ($15) and chicken sandwich ($14) by a wide margin.
Jenn WongFebruary 21, 2015Weak coffee. Beef tongue + potato hash w/ pumpkin seed mole + eggs is awesome! Spicy avocado sauce in the gorditas de puebla is super spicy but perfect w/ the griddled corn masa + charcuterie.
Cameron Thomas-ShahDecember 15, 2013Any place that dares to pair truffles and scallops is worthy of a visit. I visit Park Slope quite often and this place will become a frequent for me. The manager as well as the staff are friendly.
Alison HickmanMarch 3, 2013This place is amazing. The food is beyond delicious and top knotch service! I had scallops and poached eggs over polenta w a salad and a white lambrusco. yum! My new fave brunch in the slope!
David LifsonMay 13, 2012The truffled eggs are delicious. Also big fans of the steak and eggs, the pancakes, huevos rancheros, and the fruit board (not on menu anymore but they'll make it). (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Margot MazurDecember 7, 2013This is by far my favorite place for brunch in park slope. All the sides are good. I usually go toast, baked beans, and roasted potatoes. French press coffee, too!
Madeline RJune 12, 2015Brunch is where it's at - try the Mexican egg sandwich or the classic French omelette. Great selection of champagne cocktails with homemade fruit purées
Meaghan KennyJune 15, 2015Great brunch spot! The service was excellent, we received our food very quickly! Also best pancakes I've ever had!!
Vicki PloscoweOctober 6, 2013Love coming here for brunch. Everything is very fresh, lovingly prepared and served thoughtfully by the well trained staff. Meatballs and Mac& cheese... turkeyburger...Fabulous!!!
Leah SinsheimerJanuary 3, 2013Stumbled in for the grain salad, which was excellent and was gifted a polenta amuse bouche. Tasty food and good service even at 3:30 on a Thursday.
AngelNovember 3, 2015Great brunch place. Lenguas y papas is perfectly sauced. Very heavy food, so you will definitely leave feeling very full.
Chris GsellJune 15, 2012Their Quinoa Sweet Potato au Gratin is outstanding, as is the Mushroom soup with truffle oil and crisp egg. They also feature Abita beer in ginormous bottles!
Brandon BernardMarch 8, 2015I've been here on more than one occasion when we've been totally forgotten by our server. But the food is great. Love the pancakes. Worth the risk.
Megan GilbrideJuly 29, 2013Tomales were so tasty, and filling. Comes with a nice arugula salad and scrambled eggs. Yum. Great decor, loved the whole experience :)
DunjaApril 26, 2014They don't have a brunch menu but most of their breakfast menu is brunch. If you were wondering what's the mexican equivalent of eggs benedict - gorditas de pueblo. Delicious!
Design*SpongeMarch 25, 2011My favorite lunch spot in Park Slope. Delicious (fresh) chicken soup and iced tea are a must. The bread plate with jam and butter is great to split with a friend over coffee.
Merri KlarSeptember 6, 2011Amazingly accommodating with allergies and food sensitivities. They brought our gluten-free guests a substitute for the bread. Their tacos are made without wheat and are handmade.
The huaraches are fantastic. You can get them with pork belly, braised chicken, beef tongue or egg whites. I'd personally go with the pork belly.
Everything here is fantastic, though I have a hard time straying from the Huevos Ranchero, breadbasket and Stumptown Coffee. The buttermilk pancake is a close second though.- There's secret off-menu dinner item - a vegan board! It's an assortment of delicious vegan foods from that day's menu.
Jim HermanJuly 23, 2011Juventino is the namesake of the owner. This resto is as understated as the food but the food is simply delicious. Juventino couldn't be a nicer guy. Go and come back many times.
Erin TaoOctober 5, 2013Lengua y papas + huevos rancheros = yes, do it. Perfect amount of food to be totally satisfied but not comatose when you walk out :)
Great for brunch! The truffled scrambled eggs have the perfect touch of decadence. Get a side of bacon to complement.
Ashley RudolphJanuary 4, 2015I really do love the food and cocktails here but the service is always slow. The scallops and polenta were delicious though!
Erin GMay 30, 2011One of the best omelettes I have ever had. Cool, organic place but expensive... save yourself a big chunk of change and drink coffee prior to brunch!
AlanaAugust 24, 2014Great oyster selection. All are $1 5:30-6:30 Sunday thru Thursday, but 12 per person limit.- Chris ConlyNovember 20, 2012For a weekday breakfast get the poached eggs & french press - no crowd & fresh treats from the chef!
The New York TimesMay 6, 2010Recommended: Salad of greens, herbs and citrus; lentil dal; radishes; tacos de cabeza. The passion fruit crème caramel is a perfectly poised dessert. Read more
Alex KnightNovember 3, 2013Order from the "early dinner" section on the menu. The portions are just right at a lower price than the mains.
Nick JablonskiJanuary 7, 2012Dinner here was fantastic- great service and wine reco's. Always appreciate a server that knows her wine!
This used to be Get Fresh. Menu is similar but looks more focused. Romantic. Excellent service. Great food. Curious to try the $80 rib eye.
The lamb chops on the dinner menu right now are incredible.
Shane LennonMarch 11, 2012The Pork Belly was to die for and a first for me, dessert was Butternut Scotch Pudding
SkeeterNYCJanuary 28, 2010Chef/Owner Juventino Avila really has great sustainable, local offerings on the menu. Ask him about it and don't leave w/o trying their soup! Read more
Bobby GrazioseSeptember 14, 2013Apps, oysters and cheese menu were good. Entrees not so much and not worth the do re mi. Heavy handed with the salt, flavors not infused. Disappointing. Nice looking place though. Garden out back.
Michelle MeltonSeptember 25, 2011Truffled eggs or braised chicken sandwich for brunch - you can't go wrong
Charles Gregg-GeistMay 26, 2012The baked eggs were a revelation. I had them yesterday and had to come back today
