    Great food, atmosphere, and the MOST friendly staff. So family friendly - we came with a screaming baby and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Will return for date night though, lol.

    Come hungry for an epic brunch in the coziest setting. The eggs benedict is spectacular, as are the housemade sausage links and potatoes with sour cream and jalapeño. A perfect birthday brunch spot.

    Delicious food in a cozy, rustic atmosphere. Got cocktails, charcuterie (good but on the small side), and Cast Iron Chicken (savory, vinegary) and Bluefish (fresh, herbal) for mains. All were great!

    The perfect outdoor spot to air out all your friend group drama over brunch. No one can hold a grudge after these grits, pancakes and cocktails. Except me. Because I’m always right.

    The pappardelle with duck prosciutto is amazing - get one for the table. The chicken is fantastic, but be sure to order some sides. All 3 sides are great but possibly double up on the Brussel sprouts

    Been twice now and the food is a treat, very clean, fresh and most importantly tasty. The food definitely takes center stage. Service is sub-par...they do nothing to enhance the dining experience

    Loved the food and feel of the resto. I got the bacon side (in the picture) and the famous pork chop! Really delicious. A friend got the lamb neck and that was incredible. I'll get it next time.

    The Eggs Benedict are the best I've ever had. The confluence of smoked river trout, wood fired house made English muffins, impeccable Hollandaise and a perfectly poached egg is peerless.

    The pancake is seriously amazing. Small is the perfect size for a taste while also giving yourself a chance to try other delicious dishes.

    Especially fun to take visitors on a walk from Dumbo through Vinegar Hill before. They get confused walking through industrial blocks only to stumble on such a cozy gem.

    A rustic, relaxing gem. Delicious, reasonable food and a great excuse to escape Manhattan. We loved the stuffed squid with braised oxtail ($12) and the gorgeous salted caramel custard ($8). Read more

    Came here for brunch. Everything was superb. The eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary were sublime. The strawberry pancake made me see heaven. A little far from the subway but well worth the trek.

    One of the best breakfasts I have had in New York. We shared a large pancake, it was perfection. I had an omelette that was light and fluffy. + Outdoor quaint seating.

    The risotto with sweet corn and eggplant is great, the ricotta-polenta cake with peaches and camomile tea ice cream is to die for! Cosy interior, friendly service and reasonably priced!

    Great cocktails. Great farm to table food. Lovely garden. I still dream about the pate. Homemade pasta and brisket were both exquisite.

    The brunch selection is original with fresh, unique twists. Portion sizes are perfect and you leave feeling extremely satisfied without breaking the bank. I suggest ordering a few items and sharing.

    Hidden gem in a pretty boring neighborhood. The food is brilliant - octopus, beetroot and caulifower were all really tasty.

    Are you nearby? Go! Order the pancakes (even if you think you don't like pancakes) and the fennel sausage. Also unlimited stumptown coffee 🙌

    Brunch is amazing. Bloody Mary, pear pancake, burger, shrimp and grits. Went for dinner and was blown away by the chicken liver pâté, the squab, and the delicata squash. Incredible.

    Dinner was delicious. While the pork chop was highly recommended, several of us actually like the Cast Iron Chicken better. Also, the Chicken liver Mousse and Smashed Potatoes were delicious.

    Delicious, simple, elegant out of the way gem waiting to be discovered. Food wait times can get lengthy but sipping a cocktail or coffee in the cozy backyard makes it worth your while!

    Awesome and very literal pancake. Cooked in a cast iron pan in a wood fire stove. Part cake, part sour dough bread, part pancake. Strong brunch.

    Pretty much perfect. The GREATEST chicken liver mousse, the chop, the chicken (really), the pastrami. The mushrooms and the cornbread on the side. Already want to go back.

    New to the dessert menu: carrot cake with cream cheese ice cream (not frosting) and some salty pumpkin seed goodness that will blow your mind. Highly recommended.

    Nice and cozy restaurant in the middle of Vinegar Hill. The chicken is amazing. And try the grapefruit cremeux, one of the best desert I ever ordered in a restaurant!!

    Intimate setting. Menu has classics but with twists. Loved everything (thyme cocktail, vinegar chicken, smoked grape salad, garlic pasta). Maybe you can skip dessert which was just ok.

    The lox is some of the best I've had - rivaling Russ & Daughters. It's cured in house in bourbon and beets. Also, the pancakes are not to be missed.

    The walk from gentrified Dumbo to quasi-colonial Vinegar Hill is a bit trippy, and it's as if they actually perfected the legendary Country Chop over centuries. Best pork chop I ever ate.

    Sourdough Pear Pancake with pecan-bourbon sauce was sooo good! Looking forward to going back for the Hot Dog de Sonora, which they were out of (hot dog wrapped in bacon and deep-fried...oooooohhhhh!)

    The roast chicken is one of the best I've had in my life. It's on par or better than Zuni Cafe's in San Francisco.

    The smoked trout eggs benedict is memorable and their Bloody Marys are tasty; the pear pancakes looked popular and would be a must try next round.

    The cream cheese-frosted Guinness cakes are rich and so delicious. They follow a dinner of quail eggs and hearty meats nicely. This is comfort food at its best, so indulge! - Soraya

    So they have a new pastry chef as of a few months ago, and she's a genius. Maybe the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had.

    They now take reservations which is handy because it's so popular and always busy in spite of its slightly remote yet lovely location.
