I went with my parents here for my Mom's birthday and it truly was one of the best experiences we've had. The food (especially the duck!) was amazing! The staff was great and accommodating, given we arrived before they actually started serving food. Next time I'm in Brooklyn, this will be a definite stop.

Just wandered in during our Avon 39 Walk detour 😉
So happy we did!! Kwan and the staff were so nice to us...the chef is very gracious! Thank you for the delicious toast and drinks! Can't wait to return to sample more of the menu!
Such a special spot. The food is excellent - one of the best in the neighborhood. I especially liked all of the dip (mushroom hummus was our favorite, but all were great.)
What a wonderful place for a rainy day brunch. It’s not super crowded and busy. Service is the top with caring waitresses and amazing bartenders. Thank you
Ambiance is top notch. It’s comfortable and not too over the top. Their focus is on the food and that part isn’t lacking. I bet this place feels like a great date spot at night.
Food is great. I had the short rib hummus with pita bread. And pita bread is the main focus. It’s so fluffy and delicious from the hot oven that I can imagine any better. We asked for more breads. French toast is can use a little more sauce but it’s not too sweet. I am not a fan of the cloud 9 drink as it’s sweet and no spicy at all.
Service is wonderful and we got water all the time. The table is ready as rsvp.
Great place for a brunch with friends and have conversations. Not loud but we might make the place a little.
A good place for brunch, casual but nice ambiance. Looks good for big groups as they are willing to put together several tables for you.
The French toast is huge, could not finish. Gougeres were amazing, a kind of light puffy falafel. Shakshuka was way too spicy, I felt it in my stomach till the end if the day. But I like the freshly baked pita coming with it. Finally the half chicken was very delicious under a thick layer of pesto-like sauce but too oily.
Overall definitely worth going and spending some time and money.
An amazing meal for a reasonable price. Definitely get the short rib hummus plate, brussel sprouts and grilled octopus skewers. The short rib melts in your mouth and it comes with a soft warm pita. They may ask if you want to order a second pita and you should do it. The brussel sprouts were perfectly charred and had what tasted like a almond butter sauce at the bottom. It surprisingly complimented the sprouts well. The puree and sauces (a pesto and hot sauce) on the octopus really added to the flavor. Personally, I would have skipped the duck, it was prepared a little too tough for me but I did see the pork shank being served at another table and it fell off the bone completely. I would have considered that over the duck but honestly for 2 people the short ribs, brussel sprouts and octopus were enough.
The wait staff was attentive and we were sat quickly with no reservations on a Monday night. Did not have enough room for dessert but will be back to try!
We had shakshuka and French toast. The former was quite good and the side pita with it was amazing.
But French toast? It was the best one I have had in my life! You must try it.
We had an amazing dinner experience, every plate was delicious and reasonably sized to share between two people. I highly recommend the short rib hummus, ceasar salad, wagyu and falafel! Will be coming back!
Very nice and cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant. Service was also super cool and nice.
Mushroom hummus was absolutely hit! Something new for us and very interesting mix of flavors.
Totally recommend.
Grilled Octopus - delicious. Must try too.
Duck breast - was good, but too sweet for me.
It’s King Salmon - nothing special and the grape leaves set off the taste for me. But still, you need to try it.
Cocktails are also excellent. You need to try Gentian Negroni.
For sure we will come back and try other things.
Overall, very good places to a date or sit with a friends. But a little bit pricey.

The restaurant was good, like the inter design and the food is good, the french toast was delicious but it was a little bit sweet after eating for a while as the portion of the french toast was big so I wasn’t able to finish it. I will have given the restaurant a five star if it was for a moment the staff was coming up to us like two of three time within like five minutes asking us if we like anything else. I don’t know if they were just trying to be helpful because we already told them we are good. It felt like they were trying to tell us to pay the check and leave. However the restaurant was not busy and one of my friend was still eating as she is a slow eater. Plus we were not at the restaurant for long we came at 11 am and left at 12:30 pm. So maybe I was overthinking.
Came here a couple weekends ago for brunch with friends. Had a lovely table by the window. I had the short-rib shawarma sandwich. It was so so filling! The sandwich was very hearty and great portions (too much for me and I can eat a lot!) It was good but could've used a bit more sauce as it was slightly dry.
Our waiter was incredibly helpful and had such a wonderful energy. Overall we had a wonderful time!
The food is great; I particularly like the appetizers. Try the Miso baba ganoush! Lovely atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff.
