It was great!!! No opening night jitters. Every dish was marvelous. The 7 of us had carrot soup, scallops, and muscles as appetizers, roast chicken, duck breast, monkfish and cod for main courses, and they offered us fruit salad, a creme brulee and a tiramisu for dessert. Every dish was unbelieveable. The service was great. And the cost was very reasonable, with wine, dinner and tip it was $35 a head. We are going back soon.

See the link below. The site is incomplete, but does include the menu.

SUPERB. We were all impressed, especially by the steak, which was the best I've had in a long while. Our server confided to us that it is the exact same steak (same cut, vendor, etc.) that is being served at Artisanal in Manhattan, but at half the price! Really, an all around great meal. Small wine list, but perfectly fine. Very close to the 7 train. It was nice to get away from Smith St. for a night, and worth the trip from Boerum Hill.

In addition, as an apperitif, you can get an exilent kir royale. For dessert a glass of muscat or a glass of "orange wine" that the owner makes. We have eaten there three times already and the food has been consistantly excellent. In addition, it is now open for lunch. P.S. It was nearly full on a Thursday night. Not bad for a place that has been open less than two weeks and has not advertised. Fri Mar 08 17:43:48 -0800 2002 1259475 0 Edward Aretz
