Yes, someone please go, hehe. I've heard decent things, but need to hear more as a lot of the comments on Yelp appear to be shills. I'm hesitant as the place is a bit pricey and just seems a bit out of place. Hope it is good for everyone's sake.

Hey so we wandered over on Sunday night. There was a fairly lively scene at a beautiful bar that replaced the deli counter when this was MItchells. The room is warm, the Park Slope Margaritas are $8 and very tasty. I actually had a hard time choosing from the large menu - but i went with the salmon, which came medium, like i'd ordered it, and in a flavorful sauce with tons of roasted veggies. My friend had the veggie chili, which was very spicy and delicious. It's a great addition to the neighborhood, i'll definitely be back to try brunch, but it was a bit pricey for a casual meal...i think they'll do well. it's a huge improvement on Mitchells which tried to be everything (steakhouse/deli/jazzclub/belly dancing/gourmet pizza, etc. etc.) to everyone.

Good to hear. I was amprehensive because of the prices and will likely try it eventually. Glad it is a bit more focused though. Mitchells was just a confused restaurant and while I actually really enjoyed getting sandwiches there I always found it odd that they were pushing a $30+ steak in the back room. Good luck to them, they do have quite a large space and beautiful outdoors.
