Brunch staple. Plates are smallish, but surprisingly filling. Food is decent. Cocktails are great. Service is casual, but friendly and welcoming.Make a reservation to avoid having to wait.

I got the breakfast sandwich and the avocado toast. It was good. For drinks I got the milla tea and the orange juice. I came early so it was only the breakfast menu. Will come back next time for the lunch. It's nice inside and feels cozy. I didn't have to wait for the food too long which is good because I was hungry. The staff were nice.

Worst restaurant in Fort Greene . Servers are pretentious and act like they can’t be bothered . It appears they hire the grungiest hipsters they can find , all of which act like they are better than you . I’m in my late 50s and was with other older women . We deserve more respect than for some young kid to talk down to us. One of my friends had problems reading the menu and apparently had too many questions - the waiter walked away !!! Went to another table and came back with her mid sentence !!! I am a neighbor to this restaurant - I live only a few blocks away . After the awful service I made sure to tell everyone I know to stay far away . The food is lackluster and the staff could not be bothered.

I love this place. Especially on a sunny Sunday afternoon for brunch. It was fun watching fashionable diners of Fort Greene trickle in and out of this airy dining room, ready to devour their brunch plates and cocktails. My lobster scrambled eggs were a bit salty, but I’d let the extra sodium slide. The short ribs with polenta was amazing.Breakout star - I really loved the biscotti that came with the espresso. I wonder if that’s homemade?I was here for dinner before as well. Loved both of my visits.

I came here on a first date about a year ago. We celebrated our anniversary here again last night, and everything was just as incredible as the first time. The octopus is a MUST, and their white negroni ("Ghost") is damn near perfect. As for pastas (which are also incredible gluten-free) the risotto, ravioli, and pappardelle are all top-notch.There are many great restaurants in New York—many of them near Fort Greene even—but Evelina made us life-long patrons yesterday. They treated us like special guests from the minute we walked in, and we couldn't be happier after our meal. (We'll see you next year...)Dietary restrictions: Incredibly accommodating for Celiac/gluten-free

If you live close by, it could be your to go neighborhood spot. The food looked and tasted great. Ramona was kind and accommodating.
I came here on a date during the week, and since the weather was nice, we sat outside. We each had the Smoked Grapefruit cocktail; I liked it but my partner thought it was “too syrupy,” so he had them add Aperol to it. But I thought it was great as-is. We shared the Octopus as our starter and it was phenomenal. For my main, I ordered the sea bass with an extra side of fries. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I was a little disappointed that the fries weren’t hot when they came back, but they were perfectly crispy. My partner ordered the short rib, and trust me, there was nothing “short” about it; that thing was HUGE! I had a glass of the Etna Bianco DOC with my dinner, and I thought it was just OK. I would’ve preferred something dryer.All in all, I think this is a great restaurant; it’s perfect for a date night especially since it’s so close to Fort Greene park (so you can go for a nice stroll after. It is on the pricier side, but it’s not obnoxiously so. I will be back!
Weekday, late lunch was amazing here. Prompt service, good food, and an attractive atmosphere.Parking: There is lots of street parking, but time of day makes an enormous difference. Would count on 15 minutes, hunting for a spot, or locating nearby garage on a map.Kid-friendliness: Not really a kids spot, but they wouldn't be out of place during daytime.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are a street level, should be ok to enter
