Grindhaus

I’m literally still sitting at my table right now eating dessert with friends. We wound up eating two apps, six entrees, and obviously dessert between the four of us. This is the best duck I’ve ever had. The chicken sandwich tasted like sesame chicken mixed with heaven. The best part is that we have been mixing sauces of dishes with other dishes and it was fantastic. I don’t eat kimchi, and I loved the kimchi dumplings. Eat here immediately.

This place is a hidden gem. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Red Hook Tavern is the hotspot in Red Hook right now, but this place is on par, if not better. We had the Pea Pea Dumps, Trout Tartare (pictured), and the Chicken Sandwich 2.0. Everything was top notch and the Chicken Sandwich might be my favorite in the city. Highly recommend going out of your way to try it out 🤌🏽

We ordered biscuits with mushroom gravy, mushroom fried rice, and shrimp buns — and shared these in tapas style. Everything was so well done: seemed like the right amount of everything. Also, loved their decor — it seems like most of the items were bought at a thrift store, which is absolutely amazing. They have a beautiful patio with heaters.

Google description calls this a vegetation restaurant "using locally sourced fish", which is silly, their current menu has no fish at all. It's darned good though, and while mostly vegetarian my favorite dish today was the "Duck and Waffles" sort of spin on Chicken and Waffles, with a perfectly done confit. The room is still being completed, staff of friendly, knowledgeable, engaged, and delightful. They are cash or Venmo only while they get credit card stuff worked out. Everything is yummy, not too spendy and I hope to return often before it gets too crowded.
