Lately the store has not being following the 6ft distancing policy. Folks in queue stand right next to you and when you ask them to keep some distance they get upset. To add the store employees keep walking back and forth right next to you in the queue aisle which is quite narrow to begin with. Too bad as I used to go here often, now I'm looking for other safer options. Rather be safe and healthy than sorry! read more

I've only shopped here once. I was looking at an apartment nearby and the agent kept talking this place up so I went in to check it out. It's apparently a grocery store for suckers and supposedly well-educated white people who can barely read. This is apparently the same demographic being recruited to the new frathouse-themed condos on this block of Schmerhorn. I'm tired of places that attempt to cynically cash in on a genuine desire for local or organic produce. This is a direct quotation from the produce section: "Local Produce, Product of USA" read more

Consistently being racially profiled and followed by many different people of their staff. Its so ridiculous that I can't shop in peace but Susan next to me is making off with all the inventory: It's becoming so outrageous I'm writing a story and doing live reviews. There's no reason you're sending people from the cash register to go "clean the aisles" but also "discretely" looking in the Trader Joe's and target bags I have in a pushing cart when I do heavy shopping because I can't carry 100 pounds of groceries. Unacceptable. Will be following up. read more

DONT come to Brooklyn fare it's you know what's good for you. Employers that work there are rude and have attitudes don't try asking for help. The food that supposed to packaged closed before purchase has already been opened up and picked at and it's a lot of the food there. Bought a box of crackers some of the crackers were missing from it. Don't come here at all read more

SO glad this grocery store exists merely steps away from my office! *lurks on Peter D., who apparently lives down the street* Srsly, I don't always want to take a massive detour on my way home just to get groceries. And by massive detour, I mean either Fresh Fanantic in Clinton Hill or Whole Foods on the LES (see Shit New Yorkers Say: "I NEVER go to Manhattan!"). Honestly, I buy things hodge-podge and as I need them, so trekking to Manhattan for Daiya cheese (FF doesn't sell it) is kind of annoying. Here's the thing. Brooklyn Fare is an amazing, beautiful grocery store with almost all of the fun organic and fresh things that I usually buy. The rub: as others have mentioned, all of the things I usually buy, but sometimes for a pretty penny more. For the life of me, my math skillz (or lack thereof) cannot tell me if it is worth it to hop on the F for $2.25 and get my Daiya cheese for 3.99 or go to Brooklyn Fare and pay - yes, really - 6.99. What the hell? However, often it is much more convenient to stay in Brooklyn, and in that case, there is plenty of goodness to choose from here. Last night I got some really amazing small cucumbers that were named after a central Asian state (I can't remeber which) and grown in Canada (haha!). I rushed home made my signature tofutti cream cheese-wasabi-cucumber-pickled ginger-grilled tofu sammie on a spelt English muffin - most of which was purchased at BF. Those cucumbers are going to become a staple - they were delicious! I haven't seen them anywhere else. I like that they have a rewards card - I would shop here either way, but it's really nice to get some free stuff after spending a bunch of money, especially when your Daiya cheese is twice the price of a competitor's. I'm totally down with that. I'd rather support local business if I can. read more

Favorite facet of Brooklyn Fare is the collection of various salads and side dishes at the deli counter: Israeli couscous, broccoli slaw, green bean salad, artichoke something-or-other, etc. They're all GREAT. Also, speaking of the deli counter, they have some really tasty lunch sandwiches. Definitely recommend the roast beef sandwich with horseradish dressing. Good mix of everyday grocery items and some of the finer things. Fresh veggies have yet to disappoint either. Prices are kinda high though.. read more

Coming from Texas where there was a grocery story on every corner of the intersection, I'm surprised to hear myself say that I have found a grocery store I am a little committed to. I feel like I'm breaking a rule somehow. Their prices aren't the cheapest, their selections aren't the grandest and their aisles definitely aren't the widest...but something about Brooklyn Fare has me coming back. It must be the nice slab serif logo. read more

This is my go-to store now that they've got their act together after a bumpy first few months (they switched food vendors, moved stuff around constantly, ran out of beer, took FOREVER to ring you up). The fish counter is terrific -- you can ask for fresh stock ($1.99), shucked oysters, sample fresh chorizo, get sushi-grade fish for a super reasonable price. I skip the prepared foods cos I'd rather take their seafood or meat cuts home and make a quick, delicious resto-quality meal. I call it "My Pantry" because while Trader Joe's is awesome for cheap staples like canned foods, milk and bread, BK Fare is terrific for when you need a handful of items or want to make something special and fresh. Beer selection's great; I have seen micros and ales here I haven't seen sold in most NY stores. They now carry Satur Farms produce, a huge plus in my book. Prices can be a bit high on certain items (deli foods being the worst), but if you watch their sale flyers you can score. They also now have a points card so when you hit 200 you get $10 off. When I happened to hit mine, it was for a sixer of Magic Hat. Go figure! read more

Absolutely the best (western) grocery store I have ever been to in my life. So much so that when I went back to California, I dreamed of finding a hidden a gem like Brooklyn Fare. But alas...I had to settle for Whole Foods. Gross. So here it is. It's like Whole Foods, but way cheaper and incredibly better in so many ways. It's actually a great combination of items large chain supermarkets carry and stuff Whole Foods carries. The produce is fresh, many organic choices, a lot of local and specialty items (everything from coffee to milk to bread to detergent) that you don't normally get at a regular supermarket, as well as a small fresh desserts and ready-made food selection that's pretty delicious as well. I couldn't find lard in the store and the store manager overheard the issue and remarked that he'll be sure to start carrying it. Pretty awesome. And everything is MUCH better priced than Whole Foods. Oh yea, and childhood snacks like Oreos? Yea, they have that too. I credit it to the neighborhoods it straddles, but it really is such a perfect combination of healthy/unique/specialty and nostalgia items. The lines do get pretty long during the hours you expect (Sundays, and any weekday after work), but the cashiers make it a point to speed things along and cut the chit chat to work through the line. I've never seen that at any other market before. Get the card (free) for $10 off every $250 purchase. Debit card cash back with $10 minimum purchase. read more

Just to add an update..I went into Brooklyn Fare today for the first time this week, and man oh man was I shocked. The place has more than doubled in size. Apparently there was a huge remodeling/expansion process afoot all along, and what was once (and also formerly) my favorite quick stop for pretty much anything I would need grocery related has been transformed into a full fledged supermarket that rivals any Union Market that you would find in Park Slope or Cobble Hill. While im still miffed by the inching up of prices, I must say I was quite impressed (and relieved) to discover that perhaps those incremental inches were being applied to the greater good, namely a bigger and better shopping experience for the neighborhood. Im back to being a fan again. read more

The overall selection is pretty good for a but the prices are high compared to nearby Trader Joe's. Some of their condiments and other packaged goods are closer to expiration compared to busier grocers. Baked goods aren't very fresh. I bought 2 slices of cake and they both tasted stale as if they had been sitting in the fridge for well over a week. Not sure if I had caught the last batch but the experience has made me steer clear of their bakery section. My one complaint is that the organic milk is ridiculously expensive at 8.99 a gallon when Trader Joe's is charging $5.99 / gallon! For the limited square footage, they have a good variety of meats, produce, household necessities, and they always have a nice selection of flowers out front. read more

Great place to do your shopping if you leave in Downtown Brooklyn. Staff is helpful and friendly. Even though, I came here to finish my TG dinner shopping and it was super busy and crowded, the staff was still patient and nice. The products from the vegetable section were fresh and greener than I expected. I liked that my cashier offered me a membership card so I can keep shopping and get points. I would definitely make this place my go to, they were the only ones around here who carried "chili paste" from Heinz. I needed it so badly for my husband's recipe. read more

for whatever reason the manager there has their security follow you, I understand people go there and steal but you cant treat everyone the same , totally uncomfortable. You go to the deli my main problem is employees having their cells all the time touching their cells and then not changing their gloves. Not all but some. They don't pay attention to what I'm requesting so many times i get home and i get something totally different. So glad George is back the only time i wll order anything from the deli. I stopped buying meat also . This is a good emergency stop but not a every day supermarket . Please trained your employees in the deli on how to handle food more properly without having their cells on their hands and not changing their gloves every time they touch something is not food i seen it too many times in this supermarket. read more

I live 1 block away on State Street and have been there about 20 times since they opened only out of necessity. I was excited when they opened but there are several issues with this place that make me go to Trader Joes on Court St or Garden of Eden in Brooklyn Heights. This grocery store was expecting a big residential population from two massive buildings that have yet to have been completed so for this reason there is a very slow turnaround of food which results in nothing being fresh. 1. Produce and Fruit is routinely spoiled or past date. I have bought onions, salad, peppers, grapes and they are often moldy or rotten on the inside so beware. Usually this has to do with how they store the produce. Just bought Ice Cream on sale and noticed that it had expired over a month ago. 2. Both the fish and meat are rarely fresh, especially the prepackage meats. Ground beef looks brown and often past date. 3, They never have any consistency with the stocked items especially the staples. Sometimes they are out of whole milk, next week it could be sour cream, one week they had no carrots. 4. The prepared food is very salty (this is a personal taste issue) and is expensive. 5. This is not a gourmet store it just has the appearance of one and its not as cheap at Trader Joes, Whole Foods or even the corner store. 6. They have limited organic foods, ie meat. Most of the produce is imported from Mexico. Where is the local stuff? In short avoid this place unless your in a pinch (as a positive note they have a nice selection of cleaning supplies and pet food) and the store is clean and friendly. read more

Fresh ingredients! Chock full of dried fruits and nuts, organic cold cuts, and tons of vitamins! On the go foods and ready made meals available! I especially love ogling the desserts and sometimes they have samples of cheese and random food products like tea. I love their basil garlic sun-dried tomato and getting rare local things here. Quick and friendly service! I recommend this place if you are in a rush and want to steer clear of the trader Joe's rush! It is closest to the A, C and G train station hoyt-schmerhorn St wheel you can exit on the bond Street side. read more

Staple in the location. Definitely not on the cheap side but they have great weekly deals here and always have a ton of unique brands and fresh produce available. A lot bigger than it looks from the outside because they organize everything really well inside. read more

Brooklyn Fare is a bit insane -- tiny aisles crammed with everything known to man, unwieldy pull-baskets on wheels, and lots of prepared food counters full of frowny faces. Traversing this place is strange and daunting, as there doesn't seem to be any intelligent organisation to the place, nor are the prices very competitive to the other big-name grocery stores. Plus, good luck finding parking any-damn-where around here if you were dumb like me and wanted to drive there. Huh. Still, I have to give them props for carrying a lot of items not usually seen in the local Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, including my beloved Capogiro gelato and DiBruno Bros spreads from Philly. They also have a lot of generic and bulk items under their home label, such as olive oil and a whackton of spices. So, there's some appeal to coming back here, but only on off-hours and via the lovely subway. read more

More convenient than anything. it's right around the corner for me. Really pricey though, so when I don't need the convenience, I go elsewhere. Good selection: they have everything you could get in a supermarket, but the place is much smoller. It's packed quite densely. I've been pretty satisfied with the stuff I get here... the meat has been particularly impressive. The produce gets the job done. read more

The Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare is in a word: BEYOND. Beyond my (and likely your) expectations. Beyond an intimate, lovely dining experience. Beyond amazing, fresh food. Beyond my favorite meal thus far in 2010. In my opinion this is the most deserving new inclusion in this year's Michelin Guide. If you can get in (and now it's even more tough) then RUN. GO. The fresh, seasonal food in an unbeatably cozy and authentic environment is guaranteed to be a meal that you will never forget. EVER. read more

Hello healthy food heaven! I walk in to buy a bottle of water after sweating it out at planet fitness and what do i find, holy produce batman! The freshest produce ever! And a huge selection of everything! Its like a mini Whole Foods, but cooler and less money. Brooklyn Fare, is just great, the people are super helpful, and take the time to find things for you and not just send you down aisle 8 alone. Plus they have a huge selection of ready to go meals, fresh salads. Its perfect if your in the mood to cook, or if you just want to shove food in your face. Plus cheaper and closer than Whole Foods! read more

This store is excellent. I am completely confused by the review by Nick S. (from approx. 5/2010)- it almost seems like we're shopping at different stores. Freshness of produce has never been an issue, the prices are definitely lower than whole foods, and they stock quite a bit of local produce, of very high quality. I don't buy meat or fish, so I can't speak to that, but I've been consistently impressed with the produce selection and quality, the cheeses and dairy, and other grocery items. The staff is always extremely helpful. Since the store "settled" about 6 months ago, I've never walked out without finding exactly what I wanted, or better. (Whenever I need some Meyer lemons, BOOM! Brooklyn Fare delivers! Local heirloom tomatoes were just as fresh & delicious as the ones I bought at the farmer's market- maybe from the same producer). 4 stars instead of 5 only because I wish they were open later. read more

I visited this store when I was in downtown Brooklyn with a friend. The organization is fabulous with fresh vegetables and fruits. Organic items are available! They even had my favorite heirloom tomatoes. There is wonderful section for cheeses and olives which I loved. There is a butcher on hand to take orders and a seafood section as well. Some of the other cool features: -bring back your old soap dispenser and refill -create your own peanut butter stand -many, many varieties of coffee (I believe you could make your own grinds as well) -decent sales on Fage (God I love that yogurt 4 for $5 --LOVE that price) -salsa on hand to try with some chips -wide variety of oils (vegetable, olive, coconut!) The lines moved pretty quick. Honestly I don't think I would have minded a wait! Choice of paper or plastic! I will be back!!! read more

What's to love: - Great selection of hard to find items - Great service - Great location What's not to love: - Ouch. Some items, as other have mentioned, are curiously over-priced. - The store layout is odd, at best. Organic PB is half a time zone away from the Jif. If you can't find "that thing" you're looking for, check behind the paper goods. The best part: - Sure, so the checkout lines get really long at peak times (but move quickly). In expectation of this, you can pick up your ice cream while standing in line and walking past so it has the least chance to melt. The worst part: - If you're cranky like me, limit your shopping to off-peak hours only :-) read more

Solid 3.5 stars. This place is immaculately clean and well appointed, but I come from the land of big-ass Supermarkets stocked with Ostrich Eggs, house made Harissa, local Buffalo steaks and Magic Hat #9, so it takes a lot more store to impress me, sorry. The produce section and meat cases are awesome- kind of like Whole Foods in miniature. They've got some far-reaching produce items here and some prime steaks at the butcher's counter and you do indeed get what you pay for and you pay for what you get. Try a sandwich from the deli counter- I just had the Peter Luger hot roast beef yesterday and it was a damn fine sammich. Get some of the roasted potatoes as a side order because they are excellent. The pastries are a bit overpriced ($3 for an apple turnover when I can get 2 better ones at Monteleone's for $3?), and the small dining counter can get very crowded at peak times, but the staff is very friendly. Tons of what you need from the regular grocery aisles, and a great selection of craft beers in the fridge, too. If you moved this place over to Hoyt & Atlantic, it'd make a lot more sense because it seems out of place for this block, and if it wasn't right across from the entrance to the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station, I'd never have stumbled across it. read more

I probably live here as much as I do at my office and apartment. A very well run, clean, organized and well stocked supermarket. They have seasonal local produce (best raspberries ever in the summer!) and an overall great produce section. The bakery is great too, the muffins and breads are not to be missed! The daily soup specials are very good too, particularly their butternut squash. Nice cheese selection as well. I buy fish there occasionally, which is always fresh. They have constant sales on high end products, like talenti gelato and haagen dazs ice cream. Best part- they offer you a store points card, take it! Once you spend $250 you get $10 off your purchase. Which is basically 4% off everything in the store. If you shop here half as much as I do, it adds up quickly! read more

This place has everything!! Okay, not everything...but still, Brooklyn Fare has a lot to offer at fairly decent prices. Where else can I find a tub of wine-flavored ice cream, a nice selection of loose leaf teas, a refillable jar of organic olive oil, a bag of doritos and dawn dish soap all in one place?!? Don't say whole foods cause, no thank you. I've also given up on Trader Joe's when it comes to the fresh produce section. I used to live by Khim's, which was the only grocery store within a 10 min walking distance, and so if anyone would like to complain about prices, I'd say go shop there first and come back to me hahah. Also, staff is very friendly and you get to use a points card for deals! YAYYY ty brooklyn fare for existing. read more

After riding past this grocery store on my bike, I recognized the name from the TV Food Maps App. I was like, a grocery store? Why is this on the App? Well because they have a 3 Michelin-starred restaurant. Curious to see the restaurant, I stopped in the store which is obviously very beautiful. The shelves are packed perfectly and the quality of produce/meat/cheese, etc... is excellent. After having made my round, I didn't find the restaurant so I asked someone who worked there where it was. Looking me up and down in my tank top, leggings, and wind-blown hair he asked, "Is there a particular reason you are asking?" "Yeah, I read about it and wanted to see what it looked like." "Well it's actually up the street, but you do realize you need reservations 6 weeks in advance and it's expensive." Not realizing the 6 week reservation policy, I was like, "Yes, I'm aware, I just wanted to check it out. Thanks." I clean up nicely, thank you very much. So I walked up the street and there it was. It's called Chef's Table and is an 18-seater counter around the kitchen, which serves 20 courses. It looked very beautiful in the dim lighting. Maybe next time. read more

I work in Downtown Brooklyn and get lunch from Brooklyn Fare everyday. They have a large selection of prepared food and a very high quality deli section. The lunch specials are awesome: Sandwich on a hero or roll, with a generous portion of meat, plus chips and a soda for $6.99. The staff is always polite and friendly even though they are busy. They have a great selection of craft beers and also offer growler fills. I have not yet purchased any meat but I plan to check out some of their dry aged beef. It looks delicious. If I lived any closer to Brooklyn Fare and did not have to take the train to get there, I would do most of my grocery shopping there. Standard groceries can tend to be on the pricey side (Triscuit crackers were over $4). I would check out some of their artisan/local brands. read more

Brooklyn Fare isn't perfection, but it's pretty darn good. They have a really nice selection of cheeses, meats, seafood and poultry in their deli cases. In addition, their prepared food is quite yummy. Feel free to ask for a taste test - they're usually generous with samples of anything behind the counter. It's nice to have butcher and seafood guys that actually know what's going on. The prices for the regular stuff - milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit, sugar, etc - most of it is pretty affordable. Maybe a touch more expensive than your Key Foods, but if you want to make ONE stop on your way home? Totally worth it. (And, currently, the strawberries are cheaper at BF than Key!) The beer selection is pretty awesome as well! Loving all the singles! Also, offering the baked goods from Choice Market? Total winning in my book. I live near-ish Choice, and love the place, so it's nice to be able to grab a muffin or cookie while getting my groceries. I agree with the reviewer that said sometimes they're missing things that seem like basics... Couldn't find Nutella there the other day, or lower priced goat (aka basic) goat cheese (where they have the other basic cheeses). BUT, for a sort of food freak like myself, it's really quite nice to have a store like Brooklyn Fare on the A/C train home. read more

Brooklyn Fare is one of the best grocery stores around so I thought I would actually write a review. I hate grocery stores, but I like the fact that Brooklyn Fare is small clean and offers high quality, freshly prepared foods. They're a bit expensive but its worth it. The lines can sometimes get too long so they need to do something about that. Personal products like razors are behind the checkout counter which is annoying. The beer selection and cheese selections are great! In the morning the coffee and breakfast sandwiches also rock. Even the cakes are good. You can tell when a place is managed well and this is one of the best. read more

We came here to experience the freshest upcoming chef in New York. We have mixed feelings of our meal here. The food is amazing and fresh. The chef did not skimp on the quality of the ingredients and we had about 24 courses, each prepared by hand by him and his sous chefs. Some highlights include a dish with uni and green apple, ravioli with fresh shaved white truffle, duck with black truffle, a plethora of fresh fish bathed in deliious sauces and oils, and an oyster shooter. There are just too many dishes to list or even remember. The meal takes 3 hours so prepare to spend a long evening there. Several small, albeit noticeable things linger on our minds. First, the place is small. It is a chefs table that seats a total of 18 with the "kitchen" at one end. Trapped in the middle of this chefs table is a server that will place the dishes in front of you and describe them to you. The table is stainless steel, which is why many people feel that it exudes a "cold" sensation to the place. It is also true that conversation is limited but we did not feel it was overtly quiet. Since there are only 18 people there, it will not be as noisy as an Applebee's and of course not as delicious. The other issue was with the alcohol. With any good meal, you want to wash it down with some wine. We were planning on bringing some wine because we heard you could BYOB for a $30 corkage fee. Well, we called twice more to confirm and the price and continued to go up to the point that it was more expensive than many wines. This may be a ploy to get you to order one from their wine list and we did just that. I do understand that a corkage fee is a priviledge at some restaurants, but I only ask that the fee be constant and reasonable. My wife and I are foodies and go to restaurants mostly for the taste of foods. For this reason, we don't think TOO much about the location or the ambience. I think this is one of the reasons that this restaurant appeals to some and not to others. One thing I really enjoyed at this restaurant compared to other famous chef restaurants is that you actually see Chef Ramirez working with his staff to prepare your meal. You get to even converse with him during your dinner. Now with so many reviews detailing your entire experience, there should be no surprise what to expect when you get there. Go here for the food, not for the conversation, service, or bargain. Would I come back here again? YOU BET!! Visited October 2012 read more

Tried them again (don't know why I did) to get Talenti ice cream and I live across the street. I figured they can't screw up pre-packaged ice cream, right?!? but I was wrong! It obviously melted and they refrozen it. Unbelievable! The chips had settled to one side and the gelato had separated into different layers. It was icy and gross. I'm giving a heads up to Talenti as well and I am very disappointed yet again from BrooklynFare. That was the final straw for my business. read more

Bad experience!! I am a regular customer to this store because it's 2 minutes walk from the place I am staying. I am also a week old customer to this store and a week old resident of Brooklyn downtown. I spend $150-200 here a week. The guy on the counter today didn't ask me if I have points card, and I forgot to show that. I realized after coming back home and went back to see if they can add the points for the purchase I just did. I wasn't too worried about the points if I lose them but thought of giving it a try for mere 42 points, 300 makes you $10. This guy bluntly lied and said he asked me for the card. I didn't find anyone else over there to report this. But just this one small experience might not let me go over there again, not because I lost some points, but because of their in necessary rude behavior and horrible attitude towards customer. read more

I live closeby so Brooklyn Fare is my emergency supermarket. The positives are: they carry essentially everything including organic products, items are fresh, store is clean, staff is friendly, lines generally move fast, have a loyalty program, sell lots of artisan and local products. The big negative is pricing, which leans towards the higher side. I wouldn't go to Brooklyn Fare for all my grocery needs but if I ever needed everything, I would not hesitate to go there, despite the pricing. Note they close at 10pm on weekdays and 9pm on weekends. Also to combat the generally high pricing, they do have weekly specials which means pricing is down to "normal" on those certain sale items. read more

I can't say anything but good things about Brooklyn Fare. This is one hell of a supermarket. They seem to have virtually everything you could possibly need. It is sort of like a mini-Whole Foods. They have a great cheese section, a great meat section, vegetables, fruits, craft beer, etc..... If you happen to live near Brooklyn Fare, I honestly don't see any reason why you would want to shop anywhere else for your groceries. read more

Great convenient store to have in the neighborhood. They carry the MOST amazing assortment of ice cream. I'm not really an ice cream person and even I can appreciate this. They also carry a good selection of popular grocery novelties from the UK: HP sauce, Marmite, Alpen, as well as some chocolate! Love that. They ALSO have an aisle of Haribo leading up to the check out area which stocks almost every Haribo gummy flavor in existence... BONUS! The negatives: High prices Butcher department is super limited. If you need ground bison, or lamb, they probably won't have it. They often run out of ground beef and basics like that. They have a problem with their cheese and produce department. They use a very strongly scented floor cleaner in their store which actually permeates a lot of the cheese where you can actually taste it! So gross. It's the same odor and taste that the store has when you first walk in. I've encountered this several times, specifically in any cheeses that they have wrapped and labeled themselves. I think it's floor cleaner, but I'm not even sure. Even some of the produce will carry the taste/odor of their cleaning products. This is the only store I've ever experienced anything like it. My boyfriend has noticed it as well. They really need to do something about this. read more

I love the fact that I can stop at Brooklyn Fare on my way home from work (it's right across from the A,C,G at Hoyt) and get quality gourmet items at a reasonable price. They have a good selection of groceries and produce although this isn't a place I'd turn to for my everyday shopping. The products aren't as well priced as Trader Joes (but the lines are never as long either) so I find this to be a good supplemental grocery store. They do have a loyalty card so for every 200 points you can get $10 off your total bill. I've recently become a little obsessed with their in house made guacamole. It is really delicious, it has a nice lime flavor that I love...perfect for summer! read more

Brooklyn Fare is a solid spot for lunch within walking distance from the Metrotech area. Although the prices are very high for a supermarket-the prepared foods are reasonable especially for the quality of the food. The salads and salad bar are very good although steep in prices for the area. The hot food is very good and the employees are friendly and helpful. I would not dare to do my grocery shopping here due to the super high prices but for lunch it is a decent spot. read more

They really need to separate the Chef's table and the supermarket! The Chef's table is an awesome experience - ridiculous amount of food and wine (BYO!) was consumed. Including 5 amuses and an extra dish off the menu we had about 15 courses. (Almost all seafood because the chef loves it so not recommended for those who dont like seafood!) The courses were generously portioned (Some places serve entrees smaller than these), the chef is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. You can watch them prepare everything in front of you, ask him any questions about the ingredients and technique as well. If I were to be nitpicky I would say I've had better versions of some of the individual items but when you have 15 courses there are bound to be some better than others. The food is very inventive, well-sourced ingredients, and fresh. We went for a bachelorette party and the chef and his staff were super friendly and accomodating to us. I heard the price is going up and they are expanding but for us ($70 pre-tip is such a bargain for the quantity and quality) I'll update soon with more food descriptions! read more

I walked to Nicky's for Pho from Ft. Greene but they were still closed. I wandered around and stumbled here. I've been meaning to go and there it was. Got a portabella mushroom hero, came with small bag of chips, soda can and a banana. It was delicious and fresh. Yummy! I am so every glad it is relatively far from work since I don't make close to 6 figures to be able to eat here several times a week. Yay, I am a fan. read more
