The service was abysmal. We went with 2 kids at 515 and the first thing they said was they couldn’t give the kids French fries (even though they were on the menu). We waited 40 minutes in between dishes. They finally told us there was a wedding inside and “they make all the food themselves” so it was slow. That’s just not an excuse. Especially the kids get asking when his French fries would get there (we had to order duck in order to get fries). We complained 2x and it didn’t really speed anything up. Portion sizes were small and our server just couldn’t get it together. We were celebrating a birthday too so it was a real shame.

I can’t believe that I didn’t check this place out sooner. The food and service were both spectacular, and the prices are low for what you are getting! 5 stars all around

Great family style dinner. Every dish hit the mark. Standouts included the mussels, chicken jook porridge, and focaccia!

I booked the private room at Leland Drinking House for my birthday with 25 guests, and the team delivered an incredible experience. From start to finish, the staff was attentive, organized, and made the entire evening seamless. The space was perfect for a group of our size, the service was professional yet warm, and every detail was handled beautifully so I could relax and enjoy the night. Food and drinks were excellent, and all of my guests left impressed. Highly recommend Leland for anyone planning a special event — they went above and beyond.

The staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The food delivered in taste and presentation, understated yet full of flavor. Pasta Mondays were one for the books-never have I had a doppio ravioli and it was perfect. Whoever the saucier is knows what they’re doing. Must get: frozen Negroni, jook, and pasta. Honest, non pretentious, clean and polished. We will definitely come back again and again ! Thank you chef and staff!

Foods good but the owners need to address the understaffing issue. Came in for a walk in and was told the wait was 40 minutes. Truly dozens of tables open, just I assume no staff to wait them. Food took over an hour to come out. Staff are great and are trying their best but not much you can do when there’s just no support for them. Also heat up the cinnamon roll come on

Very good food if you're into Mediterranean/Asian fusion. We were seated in the back by the kitchen and the periodic deafening blender roar really soured the experience.

service was lovely but a woefully disappointing brunch. we came in a lager party about 11 people — and were given a prefix menu. there was not nearly enough food. we were sharing appetizer portions among the table — quite literally one egg between four people. and they tried to fill us up with bread in the beginning as if we wouldn’t notice being undernourished.

Bright friendly environment. Easy choices for vegan & gluten free. Food was good, trout rillletes, especially. Service seemed a little confused.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan clearly marked

Food was well cooked but flavor combo personally didn't speak to my taste buds. Service needs improvement, it was quite hard to flag down a waiter. Yu choy was well cooked although black sesame and vinaigrette clashed IMO. A simple garlic mussel soup could have been so good but it just lacked flavor. Arroz meloso (specials menu) was a tad mild and a tad too oily.

It was very busy on Valentine’s Day. We had a bad experience following many good experiences. However, the owner personally reached out which I greatly appreciate.

Exercise caution when booking because they have an outdoor heated patio. It’s very cold and not enjoyable. Inside or the bar is great. The two stars refers to outside.

Came to this place because it had good reviews, unfortunately was let down. Not only was the service insanely slow, but the menu was extremely difficult to understand and food mediocre. On top of all of that they told me that the price written on the menu for the duck was wrong and charged me an extra $10 on the bill. Plus an additional 3% credit card charge that was not mentioned anywhere. Feel like I got scammed

I'm not usually the one to complain about restaurants. Most upscale restaurants in this part of Brooklyn will leave you pretty satisfied. This place is over-the-top pretentious.

For an entree we got the fish. It was just a basic fish in olive oil with rosemary or something except that it wasn't deboned. We were advised to split it a few ways and I had like two mediocre bites. I actually left the meal hungry despite spending around $100 for my SO and I.

Also, calling this place an eating and drinking house like it's some modest English pub is hilarious.
