Great menu, cocktails, service and fellow guests. A lovely neighborhood spot where I've had about 4 brunches and 4 dinners. It was great alone, as a couple and with a group.

This place truly makes you feel at home, like everyone knows you and you are truly welcomed. The service was superb, everyone said hello to us as we walked in and they were so accommodating. Our server gave us great drink recommendations and they were by far the MOST delicious drinks we've had in ages! They truly hit the spot! Our chicken dinner was superb, very flavorful and filling and the atmosphere was lovely to boot. Will absolutely be back to this cozy and tasty nook in Brooklyn.

This place is my favorite brunch spot in the neighborhood. I've never gone and the food has not been delicious!

Ambiance is so chill here! We had an amazing bartender who recommended some cocktails and cocktails for us, and enjoyed our meal before the show at Kings. It's a bit out of the way but well worth it and better than most spots near the theater if you're looking for a pre-show bite. We almost made a meal of charcuterie but ended up with the beet salad (delicious), mussels, wings and oysters- so good and can't wait to go back!

We did brunch here! Service was excellent and the food fresh and amazing. We hanged outside on the back room and had a cool

The white wine mushroom dish, artichoke crostini, truffle fries, and apple cider drink all BOMB . Just as amazing as the food and drinks are the super friendly staff with their amazing southern accents and fun country music

My friend and I came here on a Sunday around 1pm for brunch. The restaurant was about 30% full and there was an already cozy Sunday vibe. We secured seats on the high stools and were quickly given menus. Service: Service is usually good, but a bit on the slower side. They're a great place to catch up with friends or have a casual meal. Servers are friendly and soft spoken. Food: Amazing fries. I love them very much. Everything tastes good, fresh and is served hot. We had the steak & eggs and burger & fries. No complaints from either of us. Good spot for brunch!

Kind of small and intimate dining situation with small room to move in between tables, especially when everyone brings coats. Service was okay-it was pretty busy but we had to ask twice for bottles of water when we were just seated too. Drinks are strong and delicious! I tried a couple but think my favorite was probably honeybee. The burger was well done and cooked as requested, fries were fresh and crunchy!

So I've come out of the cold....starting to snow and I figure delaying going home is a smart move. I'm told to sit wherever I want. I find a nice table near the front door. It may be a mistake with people coming in, letting in the cold air, but I'm fine. A young man named Gabriel, promptly comes over with a menu. He's back in a few, and I ask him to recommend a red wine. Not surprised, his favorite is a 2020 Paradosso D'Abruzzo Montepuchiano at $10 a glass After a few minutes a young woman comes over and takes my order. I go with an endive salad with red and yellow endive, arugula, candied walnuts, Gorgonzola with a citrus vinaigrette The salad is huge and I dig in to an amazing creation. Just the combination of flavors especially the candied walnuts are so satisfying. This salad is huge and I'm thinking it needs to be wrapped up My main course, is uncharacteristically, a grass/fed beef burger. It comes and I'm like...WOW! Delicious. The beef is medium fine with cheddar red onions and tomato on a brioche bun. I crazily ordered salad with it! Just after I couldn't eat the endive salad. No biggie.. Gabriel is happy to bring over a side of fries. Which are crisp and not at all greasy This meal so far has been a blast. Just so satisfying! This place has earned those 4 stars.

Still a good place for indoor brunch but be wary of ordering online for pickup. Because i had work to do in the house and castello is relatively close by and they have potato latkes, I decided to do a pickup order through the page provided on their website and not through Uber eats or similar. Put in my order at 11:10 approx and I received a text that my order was inputted and I would be notified when it was ready plus the order status on the phone page. It was an hour and a half later when there was no movement on the text nor the status page (no phone calls either). So I decided to go and see by chance if the place was busy or something went wrong. I arrived and it took a while for someone at the bar to ask what I needed. Turns out my order was there but they didn't input it that it was ready. As a result, the food was well cold. I did expect it to be slightly cold by the time I got home but not when I picked up the order Even now, the order status still is stuck on " accepted by staff." Now the food is still good and I would go back but if you were to do pickup, I would probably call in, head inside or use a third party instead
