quiet/relaxing/moderate sunday dinner in PS/carroll gardns/downtn bklyn/dumbo

any ideas? hoping for a place with entree's under 20...bonus if it has outdoor seating but most important is that is be quiet/low-key and relaxing! (have some very tired guests in town!)

      how about the garden outside lunetta on smith? also frankies 457 on court is relaxing, lovely and delicious. apt 138 on smith has a nicely done garden too (food is generally a B/B- but solid enough that I go back from time to time.)

        i think the backyard at frankies is absolutely gorgeous. you can spot the F/G trains though, but i have found it exceptionally tranquil.

        Five Front in Dumbo has a lovely garden in the back and I think most of the entrees are under $20. If you don't mind going into Fort Greene, Chez Lola has nice outdoor seating and it's quiet as well. I was there last Sunday for brunch and everyone I was with loved their food and drinks.

          Thanks Clare! Ft. Greene is fine - I should have included that.
