AMAZING food and great staff! We came for Father’s Day and the food had such large (it was great) proportions and came rather quite fast. I also opted for the 1.5 hours of unlimited drinks for a small fee added to my bill. Will definitely come again!
Went yesterday for Mother's Day. The food and service was great. Our waiter, Christopher, was on point. Refill our mimosas every time he saw our glass half full or empty. I definitely will go back.

Piquant is a cute, Brunch spot in Prospect Heights just steps away from the Barclays Center. The elevated Southwestern Restaurant. The main floor features a lounge with a full bar. The dining room is upstairs, and the 30-seat patio is in the back. Piquant has an extensive tequila menu. Recommendations: Try the Steak & Eggs. As far as a brunch drink, I enjoyed the red sangria the most. However, you can switch between drinks to find which drink is your favorite.
Love the Crusted Fried Calamari. This is one of the best calamari appetizers I've had in a long time! I love the blue massa corn meal coating. Each time, the calamari was perfectly cooked, not rubbery at all. The chipotle aioli was also good. Just the right amount of spice. Definitely left a good "afterburn" on my lips. I tend to get this appetizer each time I go there.
I also enjoyed the salsa and the guac with the chips. They were tasty.
Drinks are strong and good. I tried the Piquant Daiquiri which was great with the muddled cilantro.
The decor is nice and the atmosphere is cozy. The staff needs a little more training in attentiveness but that can be worked out. Great happy hour place. Will also try their brunch soon.
Went there for brunch with some friends. Didn't like what I ordered but everybody else's food was delicious. I will go back and order something different. Nice staff!
I went to Piquant for my 22 birthday for brunch! The food is great and the staff is nice but I find them to be a bit inexperienced. Piquant is great for brunch, dates and dining in the evening but try not to have a birthday celebration, the staff isn't equipped or experienced enough to make u feel like a special guest!
Best food I have ever had. Being from Manhattan, I was not expecting much from a Brooklyn restaurant, and boy was I surprised to find this diamond in the rough. If your into great tasting food come hear- If you're looking to stuff your face, go to the taco joint of the block...I was shocked at the fantastic taste of the soup alone never mind the pork chop you can cut with a fork and the the dessert we were fighting over- some kind of apple, ice cream heaven.....If you can't afford the finer taste in cuisine; go to a burger joint, you don't deserve this decadence.... the service was second to none and I always feel like a king walking in this place, I half expect them to drive me home and carry me into my apartment!
A True Gem. This restaurant is a must if you like good food, excellent service and beautiful surroundings.
The chef is a true genius, I can't wait to go back and try another dish.
Hot Piquant. As with it's predecessor Piquant's food is worth heading to Brooklyn for. It is simply more flavorful than a typical good night out. The calamari is the best I've ever had, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all once. Every appetizer and meal our table of four ordered induced a "You have to taste this..." and the Margaritas reminded us why the trains of NYC are so packed on friday and Saturday nights.
Unlike in-town there is enough space in this space for you and your party and your last minute friends and the office event you're about to book, because there is the bar, the restaurant, and more tables down stairs.
This is a neighborhood-loved place, run by neighborhood-loved people.
