    Ham Capicola and Provolone Hero and Mortadella and Provolone on a roll

    You can't go wrong with John's deli. I was back in Brooklyn for 24 hours (I live 2200mi away!) and this was a MANDATORY stop. That should tell you something. It's that good!

    Can you find the meat?  It's not as easy as you'd think.

    Disappointing - in a neighborhood full of great sandwich shops, it's almost an incentive not to try a new place. You can walk 10 minutes to a couple of long time, established places that have a laundry list of 5 star reviews and sandwiches that would give you back pain trying to carry back to your house. With that said, I decided to try John's rather than hit up my typical go-to's, to see if they were worth adding to the rotation. We got a few sandwiches, and while none of them were terrible, none were anything we'd order again. The Godfather was an offer that anyone should refuse - there were literally 4 pieces of cold cuts in the sandwich, on a very average piece of supermarket Italian bread. The other heroes were hot sandwiches - which, were also skimpy but not as egregious as the pictured Godfather. They were also bland They're a local business so I hope they pick up their game, but this visit was a bust. This neighborhood has a lot of competition in this space, sandwiches like this just aren't going to get it done.

    Went after Petco. So famous here, but don't think the sandwich has much flavor. Will give a try again.

    Had to try the roast beef sandwich and disco fries and gotta say I actually wasn't a fan of the gravy that everyone raves about.

    My new favorite restaurant…read more The food was good, fresh, presumably well-sourced based on taste, and a very fair value. The restaurant is not overly expensive -- the $65.00 lunch bill below suggests a high-end selection and/or apps. I had a pineapple mint lemonade, sea bass on saffron risotto, a lovely salad topped with potato gnocchi, and cake dessert for $85 inclusive of 20% tip and tax. Nearly everything tasted fresh and homemade. Worth it. If this were served in Restaurant Row, the bill would be $40 more and the food not nearly as good. Because Beets & Carrots offers something rare and startlingly somehow in decline: food that tastes like food the body happily accepts as such. They serve meals that stand out simply because they taste like food. It was nice to dine outside the home feeling confident no digestive issues, lethargy, brain fog, bloating, etc were around the corner. You can tell that someone health conscious who cares about how ingredients show up in the meal is in the kitchen, someone who thinks food is both very fun and very serious. Least favorite: The lemonade. Mostly personal preference here, as I prefer a much tarter, less watery lemonade with higher lemon:water volume ratio. But I think most people would like it; I would get it again. Favorite: Both the entree and salad (which surprised me with a deliciously simple horseradish dressing) were great, but the bass wins in my book. Skin crisped to perfection...very flavorful fish and a great cut...creamy, perfect risotto. I appreciated that the risotto wasn't too salty as well.

    Soooo this place was told to me by some random person and said I should try this…read more Yesterday celebrating my friends birthday I picked the place and glad we came here!! You would never know what this place is due to lack of actual signage on it, and weakling by you'd think it's a grab and go of some kind BUT NOT AT ALL!! This place whatever we ordered which was a lot have great flavors and were perfectly cooked . The start of the show was also unfortunately the one that disappointed as well. So the lobster new berg flavors were amazing I'd want to order it over and over but I will never again either . Portion is abnormally small, and for the price of 40$ you definitely would expect a lot more and also seems as if the lobster was also overly chopped and not enough in the dish . The burgers were great Stroganoff was amazing And the gnocchi the duck ragu But every item are over small in portions unfortunately So if you want greys flavors or even amazing flavors but are a light eater then this is your spot

The place is small but clean and well kept. There are tv screens on the wall behind the register with the menu but they have menus on their tables too. The service was a little slow, but it did not take away from my first encounter and the quality of the food. I opted for the A1 Signature Poke with salmon, tuna and shrimp and my kiddo did a Create Your Own poke bowl. We were waiting for another order for my younger boys so we ate our bowls in the car. The cuts of fish in my bowl were great, tasted fresh and so good. I was a little iffy on the mango but trusted the process and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the mango chunks paired with everything else. The portions were generous and there was enough sauce for all the components. We even got 2 drinks to go, on the house which I thought was such a sweet gesture since it was pretty warm outside. Already wanting another poke bowl as I write this. I can't wait to be back. Highly recommend.

They offered great recommendations since it was our first time at this restaurant for most of the people in our party. The food was delicious. We decided to go for their bigger dishes and share it family style. We took their mixed grilled platter and their seafood mix. We also had their Sarava salad, cheesy bread and tuna tartare! All great! The drinks did not disappoint either. Some great craft cocktail choices. We actually saved room for dessert this time and tried their banana crème brûlée and Brazilian carrot cake - YUM!

The waitress her name was Jennifer, she was very nice and accommodating. I didn't experience any attitude or rudeness from any of the staff which was good. My only complaint is that she didn't write down our order which in turn got our food all wrong. I ordered the burger well done, my chick ordered hers medium. Well I ended up with the medium and she got the well done. We wanted cheddar cheese, well we both got swiss. We wanted truffle fries and we both ended up with regular fries. So yeah this pretty much goes down to not writing exactly what we wanted and us getting whatever food they felt like giving us. I would recommend next time to please write down customers orders so that the paying customer gets exactly what he's paying for. I will say again the food was very good but they screwed up the orders. Will I go back, I don't know but I hope in future they write orders down so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

We ordered the chicken liver mousse, crispy potato tart, and burger. The chicken liver mousse is a must order and something I get every time I come here, whether it is this location or the Park Slope one. The mousse itself is rich, creamy, savory, and packed with umami. I just wish it came with something better on the side. The pita was a little underwhelming and was not warmed all the way through. The crispy potato tart was excellent. The potato was super crispy, and a bite with the salmon, egg, sour cream, and potato together was perfect. The lightly dressed arugula helped cut through the richness and made for a nice palate cleanser. The burger looked pretty simple when it arrived, but it ended up being surprisingly good. The patty was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Overall, a great neighborhood spot and one I would happily come back to.
