Like A Local GuideFebruary 3, 2015From the communal tables to the mismatched dish ware and flavorful comfort food, this charming spot feels like you are eating at someone's home. AKA one of the top brunch spots in the neighborhood! Read more
Angela WenJune 18, 2016Lovely dinner menu. Loved the roasted whole trout and egg noodles w duck sausage. Cocktails are inventive and potent but not too sugary. Waitress was so sweet! There's also a cute backyard.
If there for brunch, you have to try the Ashland sandwich: Scrambled Egg, Aged Bloomsday, Duck Sausage, Cilantro, Roasted Jalapeño Salsa on Pain au Lait. That salsa is amazing. Best sandwich ever.
For brunch - try the gravey biscuit - Its surprisingly yummy! Love the oxtail duck oven egg - sooooo rich. The pancakes are so yummy - they are fluffy and perfectly crisp at edges,
M TJanuary 20, 2014Dinner: Brussel sprouts & Chinese broccoli a bit spicy but delicious Asian flavors, fried chicken was pretty good but the clams & porkbelly curry were a lil'
RosalineMarch 30, 2014Get there at 11am on Sunday for brunch. If you have to wait, then wait inside, as you may get a seat at the bar. They may forget to seat you if you wait outside, even if they ask for your phone #.
A truly exceptional brunch, obviously a lot of care goes into these dishes. The duck egg over oyster mushrooms is incredible and the Ashland sandwich is also good. Wash it down with ginger soda.
LaurenMay 10, 2013The pork belly sandwich was delightful-the carrots, cilantro and aioli was reminiscent of a num pang sandwich but a bit more modern! Also tasted the trout sandwich-super light and equally delicious.
Alfred M.April 19, 2015great sharing portions. got the Brussels sprouts, pork belly Bao and ribs for 3 people. perfect amount of food. careful with that homemade Sriracha tho
Focus is on sandwiches, but they have other food items, too. Think it's one of the best restaurants in Ft. Greene right now. Really liked the beet and watercress salads.
Audrey IrvingJune 24, 2015Great weekend brunch or dinner spot. Duck fat biscuit is to die for, Beijing pancake is delicious, Brussels sprouts cannot be missed. Fun session cocktails.
Time Out New YorkApril 11, 2013Nightly changing options include Friday's Cumberland, which layers honey-glazed Berkshire pork belly, sweet-pickled carrot, shiso and kimchi aioli on pain au lait. Read more
Katherine KruegerSeptember 26, 2015Roti sandwich was amazing, with just the right amount of heat. The backyard patio is absolutely beautiful on a sunny morning.
Alex FMarch 23, 2014Family style and absolutely delicious. My favorites were the Brussels sprouts, cauliflower fritters and duck fat biscuit. Definitely worth coming!
SiewSeptember 20, 2014Loved the fried chicken with spicy honey, and the sunny egg with spicy pork. So good. Family-style dining - share the love!- The minestrone soup, with winter vegetables, trotters and beef broth, was great, but no way it was worth $10. There are very few soups that are...
Tom WahlinMarch 30, 2014Try the Thai Eggplant and notice the horseshoe above the door for good luck ✨🐎✨. Pay with Cover.
- andraJuly 5, 2013Stroller entrance accessible. Great sandwiches. Very kind and nice service. It has a patio! Wc is downstairs and there's no changing tables.
- Best brunch side: roasted fingerling potatoes with Garlic, Thyme, Smoked Pepper Crème Fraîche
NYMagDecember 13, 2012One reason this place is a favorite: The Cumberland sandwich, a mix of honey-glazed pork belly, pickled carrots, sharp shiso, and kimchee mayo.- Brunch choice: skillet-baked duck egg over braised oxtail ragout with Aged Bloomsday, Oregano Pistou. Delicious.

Ana KoehlerFebruary 11, 2014This place is nutty and the staff seems unorganized but overall really good food. Get the cast iron pancake - yowza!
SOctober 4, 2014Cosy place with good food. The menu changes regularly it seems. Would love to go back! Hail to slow food.
Jennifer KoltunMay 29, 2014The food was fantastic! Order the Butternut Squash, Roasted Cauliflower and the Brussels Sprouts.
ChloeMay 19, 2013Everything is amazing but if you can, try the lamb hash brunch skillet. Don't miss the house sodas.
Andrew GJanuary 13, 2013The Oxtail covered with duck egg is fantastic. Don't miss the mini-muffins and bourbon butter.
Steve WorthingtonOctober 10, 2015The trout is divine! Try the broccoli too! You won't be disappointed
Stina P.June 29, 2014those ribs though! a table out back is worth the wait on a summer day after the beach 👍
Roniel TesslerMarch 16, 2016The entrees are too saucy and the Brussels are too spicy to enjoy. This place is good, but the flavors could be subtler and more complex.
Love this place but get here early for brunch. It fills quickly!
Anna SantiagoJune 12, 2014The interior design, presentation and website are fantastic! The food is okay.
- Brunch was superb, but, ironically, the sandwiches I've tried were terrible. The Grand (squid) was extremely sour and lacked balance in flavor or texture. Complete failure.

"Everything was excellent, with some surprising takes on classics. The homemade pita is awesome and always on the menu - other items change frequently but every one I have tried has been great."
