I’ve been here twice, both for the Valentine’s Day chicken tenders and I’m obsessed. I can’t wait to go back and try the rotisserie chicken.

Had a great night at the bar, with great food and wine. I recommend the chicken tinder + caesar salad + french fries combo, paired with a chilled red wine. The staff was very nice and the atmosphere was super relaxed and intimate. I’ll be back!!

One of the best places in Brooklyn to have a dinner with your friends for a special occasion. I made a reservation through Resy, which initially could only accommodate 8 people but when I emailed The Fly to add more spots they were prompt and very helpful. On the day of our crowd shrunk a little but the team there helped set up the table for our smaller crew despite how busy it was. They continually checked in while people were getting settled in, then they began serving the pre fix menu right away- they also brought an additional veggie friendly sandwhich for our vegetarian friend. The food was abundant and delicious and the servers were so bubbly and hospitable. Our server brought the cake and candles out for our friend’s birthday as soon as they cleared the table (with no additional fee) then they sliced it up and offered everyone a piece.

We all had such a wonderful time, the ambience was perfect, we didn’t feel rushed nor ignored in the Friday night bustle. Truly just phenomenal experience.

I came in excited to try this place but left pretty disappointed. I am not sure if there is a difference between to go and dine in, but I drove about ten minutes home and by the time I arrived, the fries were completely soggy from how they were packaged.

I was not a fan of most of the sauces and honestly felt it was a waste of money to pay three dollars for a sauce, though the aioli was good.

The Caesar salad was good and a generous portion, which was one of the better parts of the meal.

While ordering, the music inside was extremely loud. When talking to the bartender, we basically had to yell at each other just to communicate. I am not sure why a restaurant needs the music at that level. They could easily keep the same vibe by lowering it a bit.

The best thing on the menu was the ricotta donuts, but they were overpowered by the lemon. They would be better off skipping it altogether or adjusting the recipe.

As for the chicken, it was fine. Nothing special, not bad, just okay.

Walked in and the bartender and one of the host both made eye contact and did not approach me. Both stared like I didn’t belong. When I tried to speak the immediately looked off. I placed an online order and just wanted to pick it up. I’ve heard this happening to other people but I now have the experience for myself. The heavy set Asian female bartender and the white girl in the sweater on 1/5/26 around 730pm. Someone finally approached and apologize but it’s still unacceptable. You’d think being in a black neighborhood your staff would be aware that they’ll have black customers.

Our server was incredibly nice and gracious, offering to get us different drinks if we didn't like what we ordered. The vibes in this place were amazing and the food was to die for--simple but inventive and so perfectly executed. Creative and no frills just delicious and quality. Really neat wine list, too.

The chicken and fries were great. Drinks were great. Service was great. Salad was a bit bland and the rest of the food was just ok. Was not a fan of the pulled chicken sandwich

our friends and i had the worst dining experience ever! we began the night with a mixup on the chicken dinner, but despite apologizing and being professional, we were treated with such little regard. our waiter was extremely rude and condescending, despite our many efforts to be respectful. we had a birthday, and at the end, after asking her two times if we could get a candle with the dessert (she kept saying she would “check” to see if there were any candles, even though there were multiple birthdays that night), she rushed over, threw the donuts on the table with such force that the candle went out. she saw it happen and walked away. yes, the food was good, but is it worth coming back? no! in a room full of white people in BED STUY, our table of color was treated horrendously. we spent the entire night flabbergasted by our waiter’s attitude. she would throw things at the table, spilled wine, and would shove us while sitting. it was so horrible we didn’t even want to tip, but still did, regardless. 2/10 experience, perhaps even a 1. if you’re a person of color, be weary of going here. the waiter is a short white woman with blond hair and glasses. shame on you.

Chicken is incredible! Other dishes were very tasty too. We sat outside with a dog and they were very accommodating! Wine list is very cool and I’m excited to go back and taste some cocktails… and obviously get more chicken.

I’ll start by saying the food was absolutely outstanding. Everything from the chicken, all the sides, and even the salad was incredibly delicious.

However I don’t know that I would recommend this place for large groups. The biggest problem was that it was incredibly loud and hard to hear in there. Like actual shouting to hear the person next to you, it’s really difficult to talk to anybody not immediately next to you (and even then it’s not easy to hear).

Our service also wasn’t great, they set down our food and didn’t come back to the table for like 30 minutes and they only refilled our water when asked. All this is frustrating when you’re getting hit with the mandatory 20% gratuity for groups (which is fine but at the very least keep the waters filled and ask us if we want more drink orders).
