It has a really cute atmosphere - very cozy and homey, and the staff was all very kind. However, that’s pretty much as far as my positive thoughts go… the food was not good or worth the price (~$100 with a couple glasses of wine). The first dish (of 4) came out with literally 3 tiny pieces of lettuce with 3 strawberries on them…. Is that really a whole course?? Each dish after that was equally small and disappointing. A quarter of an artichoke was another entire course… I left feeling hungry, dissatisfied, and that I had wasted my money. I’m honestly shocked at the amount of positive reviews, I found the food incredibly disappointing and not at all worth the price point

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. The food, ambiance, and staff are out of this world. You truly get to have the best time because you don't have to make any choices. Their melon gazpacho was the best thing I ate and I'm so sad I will probably never have it again. truly a once in a lifetime meal every time you go. The place is so cozy and you might end up sitting with other people you have never met (like a really dinner party!) The chef comes out at the end and speaks about the inspiration, process, and meal. Chef's kiss!

I wandered into this cozy spot for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Impeccable vibes from the moment we walked in, and I love that they make you feel like a guest at a dinner party.

The prefix menu was lentils, a quiche, a dressed salad of mixed greens and add ons of homemade sausage and a biscuit with tamp butter.

I loved the lentils and salad, and the sausage was savory and yummy, yet not too salty.

The quince could’ve been less wet, but the crust was perfect. The biscuit was pretty underwhelming, and was also room temp.

Overall I’d come back here because the staff, setting and plating are beautiful. I trust they’d hit with a dinner - the flavors are all there, I just wasn’t obsessed with the food this day in particular.

The menu changes every week which adds intrigue for my delicate taste buds.

Check it out!

Amazing menu! So creative! Super cute decor inside. The best seating is on the patio but there’s communal tables in the back!

Great communal dining experience! You get a four course meal and get to sit with other guests. Note: if you have a gluten allergy, this may not be the best place for you to eat… we put in our resy that one member had a gluten allergy and they were not prepared.

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.

Quite a beautiful, cozy spot. I came here for brunch with my brother and it was phenomenal. We started off with an Irish soda scone and then had eggs in purgatory, a blood orange and arugula salad, and mushroom burrata toast. Everything was cooked beautifully and tasted so good! The atmosphere was also so nice and felt like you were sitting at a friend’s house. The staff were also so kind and attentive. Would recommend getting a reservation for brunch or dinner here!
