Beasts And Bottles

I hadn't been to Beasts And Bottles since it opened and was pleasantly surprised. Not blown away but dinner was tasty. We had a decent if not inspired endive salad. I really liked the duck with the dates and chestnuts. It reminded me a little of BBQ. My boyfriend enjoyed the fried chicken although he didn't love the Mac and cheese. The Brussels sprouts seemed over fried, but they were still good to eat. Oh, and I rolled my eyes over my boyfriend ordering the milk and cookies, but I had to eat my attitude... and drown it in milk. They're good! We sat at the bar which I'd recommend over sitting at one of the pokey tables in the window. It was our bartender's first day and he was earnest and charming and took great care of us.

Very good food and great atmosphere. We got bread (highly recommend - served warm!), cheese plate, trout, duck (perfectly seared), broccoli rabe, and a few cocktails. All were excellent. Space is also super cool. We sat by the plant wall (real plants!) Be careful how you order, however, because it’s a little pricey for the portion sizes and all of those sides/ appetizers can easily add up to a large bill. Happy hour before 7 pm at the bar is a good deal.

Great experience. Service was attentive. Decor was lovely. I was to hungry to remember to take pics of the food. The Food was tasty. The homemade bread is fantastic. The smoke duck is smokey and flavorful. Drinks are creative and tasty. My critic would be of the braised octopus. It good but octopus should be great. It really needs a kiss on the Grill to get to that point. I would visit again.

was there yesterday, everything was very great. had pork shank and smoked duck for main and 3 appetizer: inked squid, scallops and octopus. squid was our favorite - but all of them were nicely presented and perfectly prepared. pork was pretty good sized and falling off the bone. will definitely be back for more !

Really great atmosphere and decor. Coffee was delicious; the rest of the food was good but nothing particularly spectacular. In particular, I ordered the thick cut bacon and it was definitely your regular cut bacon. Tasted good, but not the same thing, of course. Spent 50 dollars for 2 people, which is about par for the course for NYC brunch.

We have been here for both dinner and brunch. For dinner we had the chicken rotisserie (truffled Sassoon chicken) after having the bone marrow. All I can say this place is top quality and their service is exceptional! For brunch, my wife had a delicious grass-fed burger and I had the buttermilk fried chicken waffle. They even have a sommelier!!! My favorite in Brooklyn at the moment!
