Very well organised and convenient restaurant. They offer generous meals and for affordable rates. We liked the meals very much and the staff members were super affable and explanatory. I recommend this place.

Nowhere near what it once was. 15 years ago, this was the best restaurant in Brooklyn. Now, everything about it is mediocre. The famous raw bar has been whittled down to nothing. Even the signature Blue Ribbon Royale is off the menu. The once fantastic oysters were small and overpriced compared with many far less significant places both in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Steak and grilled lobster half were OK, but still not fantastic. Wine was good and fairly priced.

the food was excellent and the steak you could cut with a fork. the hostess and our waiter were so friendly and attentive. loved it can't wait to go back to NYC again that restaurant will be on my list.

Food was great although a bit on the pricey side. We were seated immediately on Valentine's day even though we didn't have reservations. I ordered the seafood stew and she ordered the chicken and mashed... Both were delicious. Only issue I'd say is the alcohol punch. We thought it was going to be a pitcher but it was just a small jug. For $36 we expected more. Otherwise great place to eat.

Sat at the bar during happy hour, yes on a Sunday. Oyster were great, and so were the clams on the half shell and shrimp cocktail. Our bartender, Kelson did a terrific job as always, he's really cool.

Went here with high expectations based on the reviews and was honestly pretty disappointed. When you pay 50 dollars for a steak, you expect it to be pretty decent. The New York Strip was super fatty and in reality tasted like a 1/4 of the price. We could barely eat it. The lobster Mac was super stringy and watery and really overpriced for what you got. Based on this experience, definitely won't be back. Hoping that this review will save someone money and a stomach ache.

We went on NYE with our children and had a very enjoyable experience. The escargot is amazing and my steak was cooked to perfection. The servie was attentive but not overbearing. Will definitely go back.

Large variety of meals. Good service. Family friendly. But relatively expensive.

Absolutely amazing food! I had a steak, it was probably the best steak I've had since going to the Old Homestead, also here in NYC. Service is outstanding, great knowledge of the menu and wine pairing suggestions. Atmosphere is classy but not too classy that you need to dress up to have dinner. Cozy but open floorplan. A bit pricey, but the quality of the food is totally worth it. Good selection of wines to choose from, by bottle or glass. I ordered a bottle with dinner and the server made sure to go over what I ordered to eat with the wine pairing. I appreciate that. Desserts are fantastic! Definitely suggest this for date night or maybe for a occasion.

Amazing atmosphere, family friendly and great food. I especially enjoyed the fried chicken. Bathrooms can be lit better but otherwise great.
