Brooklyn is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Brooklyn is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Cute all day cafe worth a visit for brunch (haven’t had their dinner service yet). Fantastic, crisp, bright Caesar salad and some of the best fingerling potatoes I’ve ever had. Crispy outside, melt in your mouth inside, and their whipped, almost foamy hollandaise had us scraping our plates. And really enjoyed The Tony, the best grown up version of a ham sandwich I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

My girlfriend and I really enjoy the food and the overall vibes of this place. This is our second time going and we did not leave disappointed. The baguette with butter, while simple was amazing. We feel like everything we order won’t disappoint us. However, when it comes to ordering…. This is our second time running into this very particular situation. Every time we order, they suggest to us 4-6 plates for two people. We understand that. Typically we eat on the lighter side. The first time we came, we were made very uncomfortable by the waiter and sort of pushed into ordering 4 dishes. We were uncomfortably full by the end of it and sort of wish that didn’t happen. The second time rolls around and we just decided to order 3 dishes. The waiter told us the whole 4-6 plate idea and we were nicely explaining that we just wanted to do 3 plates and maybe, just maybe, order one by the end of our 3 plates. After that we were ignored the whole entire time by our waiter. Didn’t even ask if we wanted anything additional until desert rolled around. I understand there are suggestions, but we do feel judged by not taking the waiters suggestions.

Came for brunch with my husband on Saturday morning and it was fantastic. We got: Butter bean purre Fingerling potatoes Oyster mushroom with onsen egg Tony sandwich Butter bean and oyster mushroom were my favorites. Service was warm and welcoming and I love the interior design of the restaurant. I would come back for brunch and also want to try their dinner menu!

It’s great for shareable plate and date night, so get 4-6 dishes will be idea! We loved salad, freshly grated cheese created a umami taste and it was very refreshing! Pork was juicy and tender which we also enjoyed. Ragu was alright - way too al dente and salty in our opinion.

We LOVED our dinner experience in their cutest backyard, super peaceful and memorable! We also really enjoyed the food, the butter was out of this world, the baguette was amazing, the eggplant sesame dip was delicious, the smoked date provolone farinata was insane, the Caesar salad was perfect, the cabbage dish was soooo mouthwatering and my favourite dish of all, followed by the bean purée and the crazily yummy sourdough bread next to it as rank two! I didn’t try the rib chops but my friends were dying for it loool The only thing I didn’t like (but the rest of tbh party did) was the trout crudo, for which I blame Theodora for shooting my expectations for crudos to the roof! Also I couldn’t get my head around the price for that little amount of harissa, which wasn’t even that special, neither were the fries (and this one, everyone else was on the same page as me) Oh and there was this empanada shaped dumpling bread dish that we loved but don’t recall the name. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and we will be back :)
