Excellent brunch menu. Service was decent, and the atmosphere is perfect for a lazy sunday noon.

A cool little place with a hipster clientel. Service was ok. The garden area is the place to have dinner.

What appears to be a small country-style restaurant on Avenue B is actually a secret spot for gourmands. The menu is frequently updated to respond to the changing supplies available, with only a handful of options on any given night. The ingredients are all very fresh, and the preparation is well thought out. The family style crab-bake on Tuesdays shouldn't be missed. There are some interesting drink options and the Sunday brunch is very good.

Very good brunch menu and enjoyable atmosphere. Not a place to go with big group of more than 4, due to only 1 large table available. Get there earlier.
