Eggs Benedict
Miranda M.

I've been here twice, both for breakfast and lunch and it's such a cute little spot! The first time I had lunch outside and we had wine and some kind of sandwich with lettuce onions and burrata. I can't recall the name of it or if it's even still offered but it was very tasty. I then went here for brunch and dined inside. I had the eggs Benedict, which consisted of two perfectly poached eggs on toasted sourdough bread, paprika hollandaise sauce, with tossed green salad. I chose the Madrange ham but next time will go for the spinach as it was a little protein heavy for me. The eggs were amazing! This restaurant shines the most in their bread imo. It's really fresh tasting! Keep on the look out for their daily specials and seasonal menu changes. Their wine menu was pretty good as well. I did feel a little rushed both times and had to request a few things (refills, extra butter, the check) ourselves, but other than that this place is a great additional to the neighborhood and I will be going back!

This place seemed bustling when we caught the A or C at Utica, so we decided to make a stop for a family brunch on a weekend. The place was fairly deserted given that we went early, and the staff was incredibly kind. The ambience feels eclectic chic, and I got similar vibes from when I dined in Parisian sidewalk cafes: it was a place where you had "salon-style" conversations over good food and great wine...or, at least, I can imagine that if I were a local. I ordered the eggs benedict, and it was perfectly creamy and unctious. The side salad did its job of cutting through the cream. I wouldn't recommend the nitro cold brew I ordered; for nitro, it was a little bitter. Someone was berating the staff and being snippy about knowing what a negroni was...I feel like the one unfortunate part of this place is that sometimes the clientele can be pretty harsh to the staff. If you're able to relax and revel in a laid back, chatty environment, this is the place for you.

We went for the all-you-can-eat mussels (3 rounds for $25 each). Firstly, I'd recommend the tomato bisque mussels (the coconut curry flavor is lacking in flavor and surprisingly wasn't as good as the tomato flavor). I haven't gone for the other food so I can only speak on the mussels. They are a good deal, not the most delicious in the world but definitely worth going if you're a big mussels fan. We only ate 2 rounds and we were quite full. The fries were good. I swapped my fries for sweet potatoes, and that was delicious but probably part of the reason we didn't eat all 3 rounds. I don't feel a need to go back for the mussels but I would recommend to friends! Taste 6/10 (I added a bit of salt to my mussels and that helped) Quantity 10/10 Ambiance 8/10 Service 7/10 (we had to track our server down after each round and that took a while) Overall experience 7/10

Medium well Ribeye Steak and Frites

Said this was medium rare and argued back that it was medium rare and that to make it rare was impossible, like what? Soup burned, escargot bland, octopus tough (they said the chunkier part would be tougher yes slightly but not dramatically) Yikes! Wine good though!

Risotto of the day with scallops

Ambiance and service were great, a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. It's a perfect spot for a romantic date night of family dinner (with teens & up). Food was tasty as usual.

French Onion Soup
Hana J.

Really solid French food in the heart of Stuyvesant heights. The food was all clearly fresh and delicious which was great. The service was ok, not overly kind but most of the staff does speak French which is nice. The ambiance is probably the best part! It's very eclectic and super fun and interesting to dine in such a space. They also have a great outdoor space for dining as well which was wonderful.

Art work on the wall very nice

Hey Yelpies, Twice in one week means the food and the drinks were good! I really enjoyed my lamb chops with risotto, they were cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy, just the way lamb chops should be to enjoy. The food was flavorful much appreciated. Drinks were tasty but carefully measured. I had two flavored martinis and felt mildl at best. Both visits the waiters were friendly, polite and engaging, offering great suggestions and checking frequently enough to see if we needed anything. I love the decor quirky and colorful. Very comfortable spot definitely on my list of repeat visits. Check them out you will enjoy.

Still a solid place to have a decent drink and good food . I havent come here for years but after leaving the winery we needed some good grub and decided to revisit chez oskar . We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here . I decided to get the mussels (curry because apparently they no longer make any other kind) and it was tasty . My napolita (the drink) was great too . I will say that they have a bug issue and it must be irritating during the summer months now that they have out door seating .

See all

The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

Honeycomb Hi-Fi Lounge - Stormbringer

Park Slope

It's clear this place takes inspiration from Japanese vinyl listening bars, from their menu of…read morehighballs to their vinyl collection and attention to the audio experience. I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.
