Loosie's Kitchen

It's a hidden spot that has its own identity that is Instagram worthy during the spring or summer thanks to it's use of the space inside and the cute walk up outside. This New American place has some nice choices on the menu but the most eye catching has to be the fried chicken simply because it sounds substantial. 7 pieces of chicken and each seasoned amazingly well that I nearly forgot to dip it in the honey or even put on the spicy sauce right next to it. While 7 may sound a lot, make no mistake this is not a plate you'd want to share. Another honorable mention is the appetizer of a potato and basil ... Soup? Either way, the seasoning is wonderful and I'd like to ask for seconds for sure. The campfire old fashioned was good but what do you do with the actual chocolate, Graham cracker and roasted marshmallow? Do I leave it for later? Do I have it immediately? Am I supposed to be immersing that into the drink as it was placed on a toothpick above the drink? The staff was attentive for sure and the lighting was intimate. Really great job with that. So why the missing star? Simply put, it's pretty pricey for the portions it provides. It's a cute restaurant but for some reason I just can't justify the price to portion ratio. Remember those dishes I mentioned earlier? I shared them with my girlfriend and with the 2 drinks together it came out to over $80 and we were still hungry. We ended up going to a second restaurant after that.

Beautiful looking space. Perfect backdrop for the instagram inclined. But the food was on the expensive side for what you get. And still left me and my group hungry. That being said, service was dope. Bonnie is great. Give her a raise. And whoever did your interior is wildly talented. Also my Brown Derby cocktail was perfect. So thanks for that!

The place was great. Delicious cocktails and food. The menu was small and thoughtful, changing often. The outdoor sitting was charming. Great use of space! The mains are generous so I would caution restraint if your are going to have a few appetizers as well. The plate of fried chicken was a small moutain, definitely worth splitting. Shout out to the mezcal mule, it was like drinking summer in a glass.

Fantastic brunch, great atmosphere, price matches quality. I think they might have the best avocado toast in Brooklyn and its vegan (only avo toast). Highly recommend getting there early on a sunny Sunday before all the hungover hipsters hobble in for a relaxing quiet time with the other responsible adults.
