The pancakes were incredible. I would definitely be coming back for the pancakes Service: good service - fast despite how busy it is Ambience: this is a very happening spot that doesn't take reservations. It has an old French vibe which is fun. I also love to see all the locals here with their kids! Price: good price - cash only!

There's not much space inside, but on a nice day they'll have seating outside. It's a great little cafe.

The best part of the meal was the pita bread that comes with the hummus and also shakshouka. It was some of the best pita I've ever had; it had a nice chewy and soft texture. It came out warm and tasted so fresh. Service: Service was excellent. Staff were welcoming and friendly. They were attentive and constantly came around to fill our water. Ambiance: There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is a good size with many tables to accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is nice.

The host had even set a table aside for us with coloring pages (based on the mural on the opposite wall, which they loved realizing). Everything was absolutely perfect. The Gougère (a cheese puff pastry) was airy, light and I loved it, more than anyone else at the table. The fried artichokes were more broiled (tasted healthier) and came in a slightly acidic tahini sauce. The sauce was a light layer on the dish instead of on top to keep the brussel sprouts from getting soggy. I got the moules frites, fantastic, no notes. My son got the kids steak and fries which came with a salad he ate first. The price ($22) for a "kids" meal seemed steep, but the steak alone was probably worth the price, and actually seasoned. This is the type of kids meal that builds kids who actually like food. We got some zero cocktails (not enough sleep to drink and travel the next day) and they were great. If I'm at the NU hotel again, this is going to be a must stop place. Total bull was 222 (before tip) for 3 adults and 2 kids. So expensive, but well worth it, and honestly not terrible for NYC standards.

It was decently full on a Tuesday afternoon. It's bigger than expected since there's seats around the corner from the back and there's a patio in the back. It looked like most of the other guests didn't order from Restaurant Week. Some of them were sharing salads that looked really big for an appetizer. I ordered chilled corn vichyssoise and burger royale. My friend ordered frenchie salad and moules normande. Our portions weren't as crazy what we saw other people get. I like how my chilled corn vichyssoise is creamy and refreshing without being too cold or sweet. The radish, watervress, and pickled okra provided different textures and flavors with each sip. They also sprinkle chives and some oil on top to add more layers. My friend's frenchie salad came out to be a few large pieces of lettuce leaves spread out with dressing and toppings added on top. She found it a bit tiring to need to cut up the large leaves, and the ratio of toppings with greens is off. She found it to be too much dressing and bacon. There were small bits of something we're not sure of, might be mustard seeds. We like how there's a small crunch and some earthy flavor, not too strong. For mains, my burger royale came out medium rare as requested. It was smaller than expected but with a double patty, the portions are sufficient. I like how they used raclette cheese which is more unique and comes with a nice cheese pull. The french dressing added to the bun was a little too wet and oily but tolerable. I like how the lettuce is shredded which helps distribute it amongst bites. The fries are thin which is also what I prefer more. They were slightly too brown for me. It's so funny the way they pile up the fries. I can't imagine myself finishing it but will be disappointed if it's a smaller pile. Many pieces were short which made it hard to pick up. Overall decent portions and flavors. I'd be open to coming again if I'm looking for a restaurant in the area.

Let's start off with their convenience. Located right off the F train at Metrotech, you couldn't ask for an easier trip into Brooklyn. And before 5pm, you can hit up their happy hour. We were early for our dinner reservation so we sat at the bar and ordered their teeny martinis. I had Gibson and my wife ordered a dirty vodka martini. Both were beautifully made and delicious. For dinner, we got the wedge salad, crispy hen of the woods mushrooms, pork pot pie, and steak frites. The wedge was a bit too fancy but decent. The mushrooms were very heavily seasoned which I actually loved. The pot pie was very good and the steak was exactly what you expected. We did order the foie gras au poivre sauce, only to find out that they didn't have any that night. We finished off with the sticky toffee and it was great. Our server was very attentive and checked in on us numerous times. The space itself is a beautiful historical restaurant. Overall the food is good, and the atmosphere is not the traditional stuffy steakhouse you find in Manhattan. I don't know if I'll necessarily go out of my way to come again, but it's a overall good spot to eat at.

There's also a Mexican spot in case you don't want tacos here or something as well as a bar in the same weird location. I would call it bizarre but also fun. The first time I came here was soon after they were supposed to open and the guy wasn't there and as there is likely still only one person working there, you might need to get another lunch instead. The menu here is jerk chicken related options including a chicken taco (what) along with some Asian inspired sides of all things (even more what.) The jerk chicken I had was moist but it lacked a bit of spice to be truly called jerk chicken outside of the skin. It was perfectly fine. I also ordered a side which was the soy-glazed rutabaga with charred scallion and chili dark sesame which was $7. This messy delicious side dish was better than the chicken being much more well flavored with a bit of heat in back and plenty of sour and sweetness. I also had an iced tea which was $3 which was slightly fruity and it was fine also. I find rating and writing about this place a bit weird as the side was good enough to be at a really good restaurant. If the jerk was as good as the side, I would recommend the place more. Guy in front is nice. Hope they do well but it's a weird location (at least it's close to Smith.) 3.something.

That and the colors painted on the container (and also the menu) say jerk chicken. I like jerk chicken. I also walk by this corner 25 times a week, and I'm glad I finally checked it out. There's a nice deck back there, with a few mismatched tables, and classic rock blasting out of an old radio. It was 11:55 am, and although the sign said they opened at noon, the guy sitting out front in an apron was ready to go. His name is Alan, and he seems like a New York original, in the best way. Quick wits, no nonsense, ready with a joke, but also a little salty...but in the best way. I'd imagine it's his jerk chicken stand. I asked a couple of questions, and ended up getting a 1/4 jerked chicken with curry pickles, rice and peas, and greens. They're listed individually, but Alan gave me a bit of each, and said we could call it a lunch special. It was all delicious. The chicken was juicy and smoky. It was cut in three pieces (bone in, skin on) with some heat that creeped up on you. I amped it up with a generous amount of the mango hot sauce that Alan is justifiably proud of. The pickles were sharp and flavorful. The greens weren't collard like I expected, but brighter and raw. The rice and peas were a good base to cool it all down, but I squirted a ton of that hot sauce on them too. By the end of it, I was sweating a little from the spice, which is how it should be after you eat some jerk chicken. I'm gonna come back and eat it again soon.
