Came in for Easter brunch as this place was on several listicles specifically for that (I didn’t know Easter brunch was a thing that people did, admittedly, so I was very surprised at how busy it was.) Not sure if it was bc of the holiday or if it was just the natural vibe but it felt a little stuffy, ha. Definitely more business meeting vibes than weekend brunch vibes.

Service was quick/efficient though the staff was a bit cold and standoffish. The food was incredible. We were able to chose between a few items off the prix fie menu. I went with the avocado tartine and the salmon. The flavors were incredible. Portions are on the smaller side, but wow. Who knew a dish so simple could be so explosive. The flavors were strong and umami, and the brunch cocktail was a great addition/pairing. For dessert we got the apple tart (it was okay) and the macarons (very tasty) and an espresso each (very good!) I’m very curious about their regular menu and would definitely return should I find myself in the area.

This is a wonderful lunch/brunch spot in Fort Greene. The vibe is very cozy and the servers are attentive and friendly. You pay a fixed price for 3ish dishes + dessert, which was an awesome deal. I recommend ordering a side of cured sausage (reminds me of Filipino longanisa!) with your plate. The meal is adequately filling but I can see how someone with a larger appetite might leave a little hungry still; there isn’t an additional a la carte menu in this case. Dessert wasn’t anything to write home about. Good wine selection! I recommend stopping by if you are in the area.
