Finally find a place in Brooklyn Heights that makes French Toast right. Add bacon if you're in an adventure mood, won't regret.

I like the oyster house in the back the best. GREAT Mac n cheese & brussel sprouts and awesome happy hour. But the oyster house is NEVER open and the restaurant is a bit stuffy so I don’t visit often

I walked in at 10pm with my date and we were given a corner booth; romance! The mussels and scallops are both divine. The "hippie" music is a wink amidst the gastropub setting.

one of my favorite burgers in the city. amazing brunch in a tucked away spot of the neighborhood. try mix of baby lettuce, jacks burger and royal eggs

Finally a chef who knows where the effort should be made to make a decent omelette, although there is still room for improvement. Pork sausage patties are quite delicious too.

when I first tasted the Ricotta & Butternut Squash Ravioli, I was speechless, and maybe a little teary eyed. And while the portion is not huge, it is worth the $11. Read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. Fave pick is the mussels and frites. Good selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Brunch is good, but aim to get there just as they open or late to beat crowds.
DrewskiOctober 19, 2016
Food actually wasn't that great, but liked the atmosphere and location enough to heart it. The wine/oyster bar attached to the restaurant is worth a visit for a drink.

The wall of antique clocks is surprisingly relaxing, watching them tick on, unaware of their age, as you drink, fully aware of yours. If you need a distraction, go for the smoked gouda mac ‘n cheese.
CompassApril 21, 2014
This upscale pub is as beloved for the welcoming vibe and quirky vintage clock fixtures as it’s new American fare and craft cocktail menu.
Alex BosworthDecember 2, 2019
The pork chop is pretty good, I would skip the octopus starter though. Relaxed atmosphere
sue qMay 17, 2015
Nice neighborhood place ... Out if the way. Food was solid but with prices could have had a meal in Manhattan
Tessa BillJanuary 14, 2018
Large portions. Shared the butter lettuce salad and short rib special, with the best bread pudding to finish
Shayan ArtuzMay 2, 2015
Mac and cheese was perfect. If you want a hearty meal, get the hanger steak or the pork chop. Semi casual place, not overly expensive.
christian svanes koldingApril 20, 2013
moules frites are reliably satisfying and delicate: mussels served in a ginger-infused broth, fries enriched by flavors of lemon and parsley. good neighborhood spot. their old fashioned deserves kudos

much fancier than the name leads you to believe. i had a pancetta cheesecake and it was fucking good. service was on point/the waiter was kinda hot?
Amanda RellaJuly 10, 2017
Nice brunch spot in Brooklyn Heights. Nothing fancy but it's perfect during a stroll on the weekend.

Mac and cheese. Brussel sprouts. 1862 cocktail is sweet, then spicy. One of the best happy hours, and happens every day.
Nemanja BabicAugust 9, 2013
Great, quiet place. Interesting cocktails and very good food. Gets busy on weekends at brunch time though.
Trae FApril 12, 2015
Cocktails and oysters. Smoked trout deviled eggs were delish.
Noelia de la CruzApril 10, 2017
French toast ham & gruyere sandwich with strawberry jam. SO GOOD!

Fantastic drinks (cocktails) and the herb polenta with the slow cooked egg is absolutely mind blowing.
Jenny McMahonJanuary 21, 2015
The burgers and the mac and cheese are outrageous, but to be honest, I've never had a bad meal here.
Rahul GandhiOctober 18, 2010
ummm, this place is awesome. the burgers and bloody marys rule. actually everything is good on the menu. force them to bring back the bloody mary with bacon in it.
Bill RiordanOctober 16, 2011
They get everything right here. By far the best place in Brooklyn heights. Old fashioned, trout salad, hangar steak is my goto.
etta ySeptember 6, 2014
Really great food, nice neighborhood joint. Dinner reservations available (and recommended).
Jessica StarkJanuary 27, 2013
For Sunday brunch, get the Monte Christo! The fries that came on the side were amazing too.
Red FabbriAugust 9, 2014
I almost don't want to say anything because it's the best (and only) neighborhood joint in BK heights worth a damn.
Wesley VerhoeveAugust 28, 2014
The atmosphere is just right. Nicely tucked away where people won't find it too much, hopefully.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 4, 2011
Great neighborhood gastropub. Try the Macaroni & Cheese, The ‘Sokota’ Burger, or the Coho Salmon.
Gemma CravenJuly 27, 2011
Get the table diagonally opposite the door. Great people watching spot. And the trout salad is delish.
Anja MaerzSeptember 11, 2014
Cocktails are great, bartender not the most friendly person...

Great food, great service. Looking for a fruity, summery, refreshing cocktail? Try the long bottom bramble!

The grilled pork chop with butternut squash, fuji apples, maple glazed bacon, and spiced apple cider sauce is GOOD
Marcela CastroMarch 9, 2014
Montecristo are the best french toasts ever.. a must try!
Stef SoksFebruary 9, 2013

Good brunch. Kid friendly
Christine LiangDecember 4, 2011
Mac n' cheese good enough to rub all over your face like moisturizing cream.
Leah Zelazny PoswolskyOctober 26, 2012
might be the best Mac & cheese I had in a very very long time!
Caitlin ClementsNovember 14, 2014
Try the mac and cheese, according to the BuzzFeed list.
Param GOctober 8, 2011
The polenta app special is to die for. The egg is perfectly poached!
Vivie BOctober 18, 2011
With these prices, you'd think you would be in Manhattan! Great Mac and cheese though.
David ArrDecember 6, 2016
Try the Krewe du Vieux.
