This place is one of my favorite places in Brooklyn OR manhattan. The food is first-rate, the service is attentive, and the ambiance cannot be beat. Their game festival in the fall is specatacular-- don't miss the elk chops, venison, pheasant, ostrich or any other special they have on their menu. The specials menu is always inventive, fresh and delicious. The regular menu is extensive, eclectic and delicious. I highly recommend the roasted vegetable appetizer with polenta (sounds boring but is amazing), the duckling (any style), and crabcakes. You can't go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu, however. In between the appetizer and main course, you are served a green salad, and every entree comes with 2 sides. It does get crowded on weekends, so come early or be prepared to wait. The wine list is very good, although I am disappointed in the decision to only serve American wines. The beer list, however, is better than many upscale restaurants in NYC. It's a cheerful place with a great old-New York vibe. this place is a gem!
went one week ago and I was very pleasantly surprised. There were 4 of us and 2 had the pre-theater. With dessert, the pre-theater is a great deal/meal. Not one meal, dessert or appetizer was anything less then perfect. The veal lemonese was out of this world as was the rasberry duck (better then the 4 seasons). The blackened veal was tremendously good. The mud pie was also excellent. The wine selections are not to be beat. I would not hesitate reccommending this place at all.
