Affirming "Brooklyn's continued place" on the "NYC cuisine scene", this 18-seat prep kitchen in a Schermerhorn Street grocery presents Japanese-influenced French cooking from "extraordinary chef" Cesar Ramirez, favoring the "privileged" few who score "elusive" reservations with 20-plus "magical" small plates and "close-to-flawless" service; it may "take a second mortgage" to settle the $255 prix fixe–only tab, but "save up the dough" and "keep redialing" – "you won't regret it."
