    Clark's wrap
    Katelynn T.

    We were seated after 10 minutes when we walked in on a Saturday afternoon. I liked how open and welcoming the space was, and the servers were attentive. The prices on the menu were great in comparison to most brunch places in nyc. We got the Clark's wrap, which was straightforward and yummy with Cholula. The nutella french toast though was excellent. Fluffy and not too sweet! Overall good experience but I recommend skipping the orange juice because it tasted watered down for some reason.

    Having grown up in NJ, I'll always have a soft spot for a neighborhood diner. However, you will absolutely not catch me here during peak days/hours. On the weekends you'll often find a line outside and the entire restaurant packed. That is not the energy I need for my diner dining experience. Clark's is a beautiful location though with fully glass windows and an interior that reminds you of the good ol' days. My favorite time to visit is on an off weeknight (like a Thursday after work) for a casual catch up with friends or a quick bite before going off to do something else for the evening. There's always a neighborhood crowd here (families & seniors) and the food is always solid, but it won't blow your top off. It's good, casual, American diner fare. I love their small grilled cheese menu. One of my favorites is the pesto and grilled tomatoes where I also opt to add ham. The chicken wings are crispy and delicious. As is the cheeseburger. Clark's has a strong neighborhood feel and does diner culture well for being located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights.

    A good, cheap meal. Friendly service. Typical diner - huge menu, pancakes, omelettes, french toast, eggs, coffee. Kid friendly and outdoor tables too.

    I'm originally from NYC but never made it to Brooklyn Heights, me and wifey were ferry hopping and decided to get off at the Dumbo/Fulton landing. A quick 10 minute walk up Old Fulton and hang a right on Henry St and you will come upon Clark's. It was a beautiful morning so we decided to go Al fresco in front, plenty of seating. Now this may not be fine dining cause it's called a diner but it is a fancy diner. A manager/boss type dude saw us circling a table outside and walked over and helped, he even pushed the table next to it closer so we had more space with the bambina. Wifey ordered a breakfast burrito and the bacon was amazing (I tried it) and I ordered a western omelette wrap and the cheese was melted just right, perfecto! The food was going down right, the people watching was beautiful so we decided to dive into a little morning prosecco action, yum yum! It started heating up so boss man brought over some ice for the drinks, guy is a patron whisperer, I swear. We enjoyed a double prosecco and happily bounced happy and full! Prices were very reasonable considering the experience, would absolutely return soon. Once done make sure you take a walk down the hill to the Promenade and check out breathtaking views of the NYC skyline under the Brooklyn Bridge.

    I had an early brunch here, they have the full menu available at all hours that they are open so I was able to get spaghetti at 9:30 in the morning and they had mimosas which were perfectly blended. This was my second time coming here and I was not disappointed. They have a menu where something can appease to anyone.The staff is very attentive, respectful, and friendly. The food comes out quick and it was definitely tasty. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    Smoked Salmon platter
    Tom M.

    Nice neighborhood spot with a great local feel with responsive service even on a busy Sunday morning. The planter was good, but not as tasty as I thought it would be. The salmon was really salty with a small portion as was the avocado. The poached eggs were good, but the potato pancakes really stole the show. Really crispy and thick. Not sure why the total combination just didn't taste as good as I would have expected, even though I love all the ingredients. The bacon was really crispy, but again, just not as tasty and seemed overcooked like in an oven. The sausage was good but pretty expensive for only two links. Overall, $50 is an expensive breakfast.

    The fantastic Shakshouka

    I recently had the pleasure of dining here at the recommendation of the front desk receptionist at hotel I was staying at and I'm so glad she told me about this place because it was amazing. The service was amazing, the staff were all super friendly and the restaurant itself was really charming and almost European in its design. It was such a wonderful place. However, the main event was the food. Until now I have never had the chance to try Shakshouka before, but now that I've tried Clarks', I need to have it again. It was amazing. To make it even better, the prices were reasonable by NYC standards and the portion was very generous for the price point. Overall I was extremely satisfied and glad that I stopped by, an impressive job across the board.

    Solid experience, I was walking on the street and it looked like a cute little spot to grab a bite for lunch. The service was nice and the food was solid as well. The windowed area was pleasant to sit and read after my meal.

    Delicious walnut salad - avocado, walnuts, oranges, tomatoes and mixed greens!

    My go to place! This restaurant has the best food. My children love it. Been coming with my son once a month for the past ten plus years and now my daughter wants breakfast as her reward for wherever! Their avocado, arugula, and tomato omelette is phenomenal. Even their coffee is good. Food is spectacular and service is exceptional. Highly recommend.

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

But after all the hype, the Michelin buzz, and the impossible reservation, I left feeling like something was missing. The chrysanthemum salad is the real deal. Buried under a mountain of parmesan with a punchy dressing, it is bright and textural and honestly the best thing we ordered. Get it without question. The crudo was also a highlight: fresh, delicate, well-balanced. My only complaint is that it was gone in about four bites. The garlic flatbread, which is supposed to be a crowd-pleaser, came out genuinely soggy in the middle. Not in a good way. The edges delivered but the center just didn't hold up. And then there's the lasagna, the dish everyone tells you to order. The pinwheel presentation is adorable and I get why it photographs so well. But ours was sausage-forward to a fault, light on cheese, and swimming in a sauce that just didn't have much to say. For the restaurant's signature dish, it felt like a letdown. Don Angie is perfectly good. It is not a bad meal. But for the effort it takes to get a table, I expected more than a few memorable moments scattered across an otherwise forgettable spread.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
