They have some of the fan favorites from the old Ox Tavern restaurant, which closed a few years ago on Newkirk Ave. Every time I order a special I feel like I'm getting way better food than our neighborhood should be offering. ...lucky me...and YOU! The staff is super friendly, and the service is pretty good. In warmer months, the whole front of the building opens up so you get a lovely al fresco environment. I strongly recommend

Was full after 2, but had to finish the last one. Service was spectacular! Restaurant itself is cute with indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely worth checking out this neighborhood spot!

Update - Today we ordered for delivery the brunch burger and challah French toast with berries. The star of the show was definitely the French toast. Slightly overdone on the outside which provided a delightful and slight crunch and the inside had the traditional custardy texture. I believe we found a wonderful new brunch spot.

I've been here twice and both times I came I got the Dulce de Leche cinnamon latte and the French toast with fruits. Both very yum. I also have had their croissant breakfast sandwich which was also yum. The service is okay, not the greatest when it comes to being seated or acknowledged when you walk in. You kind of have to have been there before to understand how the set up works. You order at the front and grab a table if any left. You grab a menu so you can peruse on line before it's your turn to order. Then you're given a table number stand which you place on your table so the servers know where to bring your food. It's not noisy so you can hear your companion talk so this is definitely a good place for a coffee and chat.

Strangers get the same sweet welcoming treatment as regulars whose names and preferences are known. Spiritula and her husband make everyone feel like family in an undramatic way, and that means a great deal. The food is straightforward and honest: what's advertised on the menu is what comes out of the kitchen: the omelets, the Greek salad, the wraps and more. Nothing tastes old or stale or out of the can, and that is saying something. We ate lunch there today, and while I was waiting for our order, I looked around the crowded room: the conversations sounded happy and people were smiling. Yes, you could say that the clientele entered happy, but I think of George's as a proven mood-enhancer. You should try it!

As I walk in, the friendly lady behind the counter asks me what I would like. I respond: A cappuccino please. Then, I carefully inquire further for what baked goods are available with a smile. In her reply, she tells me sadly that there is only croissants. So not being picky, I tell her: Great, I'll have one. Next, she brings me a cappuccino on a glass saucer and my croissant on a dish. Also, there are numerous napkins, sugar, long stemmed spoon given to me as well. I felt like a sports lounge vibe with many tables and chairs (probably enough to seat 35 people at least). Most demographic would be elders, mostly men, in their 40's to 60's kicking back and enjoying the hot, lazy afternoon. It was around 3 pm and I just got off a flight. Now, I know how the other half lives and it's nice!

I found the service impolite and dismissive. And the coffee pod, yes a COFFEE POD AT A CAFÉ is outrageous. Well aside from me noticing a bit to late to stop the process I watched her make it and seen the liquid coming out beige at best. I actually thought she was running a cleaning of the machine, because the color just wasn't the color even a blond roast would be. I mentioned it looked light, to which she replied it's not light it's black coffee it's dark. Well I took my sip, left a dollar tip and left the coffee on the counter. With the myriad of cafes in Brooklyn these days, I would have been better with mud from the bodega.
