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.
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.
