Nice place for a date. We came here on a Monday evening. Easy to book a reservation online through opentable only a couple hours before dinnertime :) We had the bread and ½ dozen oysters for appetizers. Bread was interesting. Some kind of potato bread. It’s crispy on the outside, soft and moist in the inside. It had an interesting but good taste to it. It also comes with butter, which did not really taste like butter. It was somewhat salted with a light butter taste… almost like diet butter… if there was such a thing. Menu says it’s cultured butter… not sure what that means. It glided on the bread smoothly and it was actually pretty good. The oysters were fresh. For entrée, we ordered the pork chops and the icelandic cod. The pork chops were yummyyy. It was cooked and flavored well. I would recommend getting this if you come. Every bite I took bought a smile to my face. The apple slices bought a nice sweet and tart flavor to the dish. For the Icelandic cod, instead of garbanzo beans, they replaced it with peas that night. Fish was soft. The sauce tasted pretty good, with olives. There were little slices of chorizo on the plate which were pretty hard. I didn’t really like them. Overall, the dish was ok. Unless you drenched it with the sauce, the fish itself didn’t have much flavor. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate s’more. The combination of the sorbet and the Chocolate smore was pretty weird at first but eventually I got used to eating the slightly sour sorbet with the chocolate, and it was actually pretty good. I had a nice weekday evening here and enjoyed the food. Restaurant looked nice.

Don’t be in a hurry, and don’t order the lobster roll. It’s all bread, little lobster, no flavor. Attractive interior with gorgeous wall garden. My friends loved the eggplant wrap. Good wine selection.

+1 star for the good food. +1 star for the nice place. +1 star for the friendly attitude. –1 star for the server who took our menus but forgot to take our orders. –1 star for the 2 hours wait for our food to come out on a Thursday night. Overall, the experience was nice. But this place was definitely not a $$, more like a $$$. Please do take cautious. The foods are tasty and delicious, what I did not expect was on a Thursday night, it takes the kitchen 2 hours to bring out food out to the table. It wasn’t busy at the time we were seated. Our server was nice, but not professional enough. He took our drink orders and appetizer orders. When our appetizers were here, he collected our menus but did not come back to take our entrée orders. We had to call him over for him to take our orders. That is a no no. Not for the price i’m paying and definitely not for where this restaurant is located.

Food: great variety. Split a bunch of things with a group: boards(only complaint here is that you cannot combine meat + cheese so it’s either 3 meat or 3 cheese) — we opted for both and they were amazing, oysters-decent but would not recommend, cod, steak and lobster pasta dish all of which were fantastic Service: excellent service. Waiter was very knowledgable about the menu and the different options of cheeses and meats giving very detailed descriptions. If you had questions about the wine there is a sommelier available on staff Ambience: love the vibe here. One wall has moss and plants growing on it, some table outside as well as a loft inside. Open kitchen as well

I’ve been meaning to stop by here for the longest time, since I’ve been a long time patron of their sister restaurant, Colonie. The stars finally aligned last night, and I found myself right at the bar in front of a friendly bartender for happy hour. It was a quick refueling stop — before meeting up with a friend in the park. I had a frothy, artisanal spiced pear cocktail with a half dozen of their oysters from VA. My cocktail was as yummy as it was beautiful, and the oysters were delicate and delicious. Even with a generous tip, the bill was less than $ 20(Perhaps the only real deal left in this pricey neighborhood!) It made my day, which was already going pretty well.

Glad we made reservations for brunch, as we noticed most people were told the wait was 30+ mins. We were greeted by a lovely host and luckily we had a rez and were sat outside immediately. While we preferred to sit outside on a beautiful, warm day– I had a look at the inside of the restaurant and thought it was gorgeous. Loved all the plants! Outside is nice too, with a great view of the Brooklyn bridge. Service was quick and attentive– although not the friendliest, but no worries– we appreciated that we got our drinks and food right away and were pleased with the results. Food was good and we enjoyed our meals. Menu looks great — there were so many things I wanted to order– which means I will need to come back again.

Great place with great cocktail! I LOVE the green plant wall they had on the side. It’s so cute and adds such a green feel to this place! i love the feel you get from this place. elegant but also eco and cozy at the same time. We did not order any wine but I see that they were voted as the #1 best wine list by wine spectator for 2015. So def going to come back and try out their pairing :) I love everything about this place from the cocktails to the food and ambiance. We came in on a sunday brunch right before heading to dumbo bouldering. Made the reservation night before for party of 6. I had the blood orange mimosa which was very refreshing. it was combined with blood orange syrup instead of the fresh orange tho but it was still good. and my friends had the pisco cocktail. It’s so cute our bartender made a cute latte art on the foam that looks like what they would do with coffee! how cute! for main i had the fried chicken. it was real good! very well marinated and crisp. and the bacon and poach egg that came with was to die for! for app we had the smoked salmon + bread it was real good too. my friends each got different stuff. we had burger, fish dish and also benedicts. everything was great. I would come back again! the place is also big enough to not feel crowded.

I met my crew here for our bimonthly round table discussions. We’d looked at several places and eventually settled on this one because it was near some of the other activities we were considering that day. It seems the stars aligned for us. Before you even enter the restaurant, feast your eyes on the massive, imposing super structure of the Manhattan Bridge.(Do it for the snap maybe?). The main floor is pretty wide and has a cutaway view to the kitchen. It’s also got this awesome looking greenery along one wall and some elevated table seating. We arrived on time and were seated on the upper level overlooking the main floor and its beautiful vertical garden. Just behind our table was a wall full of cases of wine bottles which perfectly complemented the wood aesthetic elements. We didn’t sample the lunch fare but instead went with brunch. I had the steak with scrambled eggs(I can’t do eggs Benedict or sunny side up. Don’t ask me why). Everything was awesome! Definitely put this place on your list if you’ll be in the Dumbo/Brooklyn/Manhattan Bridge area. Just know that it’s a little bit of a walk from the A, F,2 or 3 trains

Atrium NYBKDUMBO 12:30p Monday 6th June 2016 Four Stars This is where you want to eat on a sunny afternoon in DUMBO. There is seating outside, decent cocktails, and healthy-ish food. We sat outside out of the direct sunlight. I had the Cobb Salad($ 12) and Tiffany had Arugula Salad($ 12+ $ 6 Shrimp). The waiter was personable. The Lemon and Lavender soda($ 4.5) was quite goodThe plating was nice. The food was good but lackluster. The Cobb was expensive for what you get. The romaine was fresh but roughly cut. The avocado came in one big quarter piece. The bacon came in big spiraling pieces. The two half pieces of hard boiled was done very well. The tomatoes were halved and tasted great. There was no chicken because it was add-on. There was no cheese, no corn, and the dressing was dill flavored. The arugula salad had Ricotta Salata, Cucumber, Tomato, and bunch of Lemon Vinaigrette. The Butterflied Shrimp were big plump and tasty. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and experience.

Just loved it! Great servire, we sat upstairs and the Asian waiter could not have been nicer and more helpful.(He even went out of his way to plug in my phone charger). The food was delicious and we ordered some extra appetizers just to try more things for brunch. The location is perfect and I doubt they have any real competition nearby. Can’t wait to go back!!!

I came here for brunch. First of all, if you want a table than you need to have reservation. If you don’t have reservation than you will be seated at the communal table. The atmosphere is nice and quiet. People are rowdy. I got the chitarra. It was good. My BF got the chicken and waffle. The chicken was juicy but lack flavor. We got the avocado with egg crostini. I like it alot. The spice on the avocado wasn’t over powering. For drinks, we got blood orange mimosa and cucumber agave. The cucumber agave is freshing. If you want a refreshing drink than you should try that. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Great place for dinner in DUMBO! After making a reservations we were seating right away once arriving. We ordered mussels as an appetizers that were great, they came in a creamy white sauce that was good enough to lick out of the bowl! We also ordered the lobster pasta that was filling and tasty. It was a great place for a date night and would return! Next time may plan to come for $ 1 oysters at the bar!

One of the best places for ambiance — a living wall, high ceilings and candles and lights everywhere! Love the atmosphere of cool, sophisticated, romantic all without feeling too pretentious. We stopped by for late night drinks and apps. The tea and kalamansi is what I downed all night — light and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness. They keep it classy and tasteful with their meats and cheeses platter. Definitely a nice place to catch up with good company or to enjoy that romantic ambiance on a first date. I’ll be venturing back here soon!

muscles and Bronzino were amazing Upon arrival this is a small, double decker restaurant. Very very hip and cute! I had read the reviews and wasn’t too excited at first about trying this place. However, I’m glad I did! We ordered a few drinks, my Moscow mule was good but definitely not amazing. My friends ordered the muscles and they smelled amazing… they said they tasted amazing too! I ordered the Bronzino served with zucchini and squash… the first bite of fish tasted over salted. But then I cut up the veggies and mixed a piece of fish onto my fork and it was PERFECT! The dish is definitely intended to be eaten mixed together. If you eat just the fish alone it would be salty, and if the veggies alone they would be bland,.but mixed together My palette was pleasantly delighted! The desert donuts were ok… I hated the caramel dipping sauce. Would recommend getting something else if you want desert. Our server had a bright personality which immediately made me feel happy! All in all I loved this place.

Atrium DUMBO was on my list from the moment I discovered the neighborhood. The only way to describe our Saturday is this: «Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, and Beyond, I don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll have enough time» Old married people problems that had us end up at West Elm, a new bed set and onward we went to Atrium DUMBO. Upon walking in, we noticed there was a small wait for large groups but we were seated immediately at the chef’s table, which was weird at first but totally cool toward the end. The restaurant itself it super attractive inside including the living wall which just pops of color the moment you walk in. We were seated and given the run of the mill water and received the our menus, it was brunch(since brunch lasts forever in this town on the weekends). My husband and I both ordered the Croque Monsieur with an egg and my husband a coffee. It was very interesting to watch the staff cook and like I said ended up being informative and entertaining. Smart, it was smart too. It made you watch them cook different dishes and by the end vow to come back to try at least 5 – 6 of them. The dish itself was DELICIOUS! The bread was super crispy, with a creamy bechamel sauce, salty ham, and a massive amount of cheese. To be personally, I think the bechamel needed more salt but I don’t hold this to the restaurant since I’m a salt-o-phile and they most likely assume that the ham and cheese salt will be enough. It came with a well dressed and seasoned field green side salad. My husbands coffee was served with the meal and for the bargain price of $ 3.50, I thought was amazingly expensive but when in NY, right? Overall, the experience was great and it is definitely a potential repeat! In the end, GO!

HANDSDOWNONEOFTHEWORSTMEALS I’VEEVERHAD. We came here in a group of 8 to celebrate one of our best friends birthday and with all the good reviews on Unilocal we were super excited, I give them the fact that the interior décor was just as described other than that the food was horrible. It tastes like a fusion of Italian and Asian gone very wrong. I got the chitarra pasta while the pasta was cooked al dente the sauce and pork sausage with cooked scallions did not sit well. I ended up throwing out all the pork sausage and making my way to eat some of the noodles. I also tried the Rigatoni which had the lobster and it was just soft and mushy. Really did not enjoy the meal whatsoever. The menu is one page very small with not many options. That did not bother me as much as the fact that it didn’t taste good. I will never come back. Wine was reasonable at the standard range of 10 – 14 dollars a glass but it wasn’t a good full bodied red that I wanted,. The service was horrible… Waiter was awkwardly antisocial, he also managed to hit my head with a plate when he bent over my head while holding dishes in his left hand to grab another dish, oddly I don’t think he knew he hit me in the head. The desert selection was very small, and nothing that appealed to the eye after a horrible dinner. They rushed us out and handed is the check before we even finished eating. How rude? Before he even asked if we wanted desert. Hands down with the prices they charge(outrageous) they should bring the standard of food to the next level. HORRIBLEEXPERIENCENEVERAGAIN.

I came here to celebrate a friends birthday and everything was just a NO. There’s always that place where you will always have the greatest time just talking and having conversations with your friends and this was just not one of them. The waiter continued to fill our cups of water over our head to the point where it was just annoying. He even hit one of my friends on the head with a plate while thinking he was this big awesome guy trying to carry more than one plate. He also brought out CHECKSBEFOREWEWEREDONEWITHOURFOOD! On top of that he offered to take a picture of the group and deliberately took them blurry. Very rude man. The rigatoni with lobster, tomato, and basil was OKAY. Definitely not worth the price.(Nothing there was worth the price.) This is just an overpriced place because of where it is located. The wine wasn’t even as special as they presented it when I asked what was good. I would personally never go back there or recommend it to anyone. Unless you’re okay with overpriced bland food and rude wait staff. Not memorable at all.

Hands down one of my favorite brunch spots. I went on a Saturday morning around 11AM. The hostess asked if we had a reservation(we didn’t), but there were still plenty of tables open. The décor inside is super cute and Instagram worthy! I got the croque monsieur and added a sunny side egg on top, and my friend got the eggs florentine and added the lobster. The lobster was perfectly cooked. We also got the smoked salmon crostini. If you’re a lox lover, you’ll definitely love this. I think the prices are reasonable for the content and quality of food. The waiters were accommodating and welcoming. Definitely will come back soon!

Love the interior! We initially came here because we saw the toast trio on Unilocal but we came and found out it’s only on weekend brunch. So FYI to anyone else who wants that. So we got the braised short rib sandwich and fig, ricotta, prosciutto toast(which is 1 of the trio one). The sandwich: the short rib was deliciously braised. Solid. The toast: the balsamic sauce is very strong, i actually liked eating it deconstructed but it was good.

I’m so impressed. Lobster rigatoni for $ 24. Delicious. Got here at happy hour and had a wonderfully prepared Manhattan with rye from the well for $ 8. Was exactly what I needed after a long day of work. Brady was a gracious host. This is definitely gonna be a spot where I drop in regularly — huge value given the local prices in DUMBO! Pretty interior decorations, too.

First time dining at Atrium last night and the experience was great. The restaurants décor is very modern and green. The staff was very attentive, knowledgable of the menu and friendly. For dinner my friend and I ordered the Branzino and Icelandic Cod, respectively. Both were amazing, packed with flavor and with a side of lobster Mac and cheese to share it was enough to eat. The drinks were very creative and expressive as well; I’d recommend the vanilla infused old fashioned. For dessert the blueberry apple crumble we split was very tasty; we only wish it came with 2 scoops of ice cream ;-). I’d definitely recommend this restaurant for creative, tasty, well plated dishes with fresh ingredients.

This place is was really yummy. I can here on a weekday lunch and it wasn’t crowded at all. We started with the butternut squash soup which was yummy and as entrees we got the eggplant wrap and the kale salad. The eggplant salad was good not great but the kale salad was sooooo good! I think it is one of the best kale salads I have. We also got two drinks forgot which ones those are but those were also yummy. I would definitely come back again

Food and service are amazing. Location is pretty good, accessible by train and parking on Water Street. It’s a great date spot. You can take a stroll in Brooklyn Bridge Park after if weather permits. There’s also Jacques Torres for dessert half a block away. Drink: Tea & Kalamansai is really sweet. A bit too sweet for my palette, but I can see why it’s so popular. Food: Oysters, 6 for $ 16 is not bad but the oysters were on the small side. I also don’t like that the menu and the waiter didn’t tell us where the oysters are from. Fortunately, they’re briny and not the creamy type. Beef Tartare was quite good, not the usual where they mix it table side, but it was yummy. Icelandic Cod was wonderful! Although I thought the mushrooms and the Consommé were a tad too salty. The scallion looks pretty as a whole stalk but makes it kind of annoying to eat. Just saying. Market Squash & Pomegranate is okay… not much pomegranate. Most of the squash pieces were a bit too al dente for my preference. The tables around me all ordered the scallops and it smells divine! I must return and try those!

Nice trendy spot for dinner and drinks in Dumbo. I tried the Lobster Rigatoni which had a unique texture as it was encrusted in bread crumbs. The portion was filling and the dish was very appetizing. My friend had the Pork Chop which looked amazing. The service was very friendly and attentive and it was easy to make a reservation for dinner. If you’re looking for a casual, modish spot in Dumbo, Atrium Dumbo is worth the visit.

I took my daughter, niece and a friend for dinner before a show without a reservation since it was early and for a moment I thought they were going to turn us away — but they managed to squeeze us in. The restaurant is gorgeous, very upscale Brooklyn. We loved the wall of plants and the huge arched windows and brick. It is light and airy and intimate at the same time, yet you are not sitting on top of the other diners. The food was perfectly done. I must say we ordered the«bread for the table» and it was one small roll. And had the flavor of salami or something like that which should have been forewarned as our friend didn’t eat pork… But it was hot and delicious. The beef tartare and cauliflower appetizers were both gone in 2 seconds! My NY Strip steak was cooked perfect and the sauce was amazing as were the potato wedges served with it. My daughters rigatoni was beyond perfect and our friends squash with pasta was perfectly cooked and seasoned as well. It is definitely worth a visit if in the area!

Obviously there are reviews here that you can tell, were done by beginners. Go to ATrium Dumbo and have a great experience. Period. Don’t get me started on the 1 star review that is obviously a mistake when she says everything is great. I came for dinner last night and figured I should write a review. I’ve been coming here off and on, since they opened. The Chef’s food is exquisitely prepared, lunch or dinner. The service is wonderful and not too intrusive, but attentive and knowledgeable. We drank Wine… alot. Simply put Alex the Master Sommelier has put together one of the most well thought out, and expertly crafted wine lists… anywhere. A college kid can go and have an amazing glass of wine for $ 13 with his girlfriend, and a Wall Streeter who knows nothing about wine but wants to impress someone can order a delicious vintage bottle at $ 240 and up. Everyone and anyone can enjoy wine here. What we ate(4PPL): Starters for the table: Oysters, 3 Cheeses and 3 Meats Mains: NYSTRIP(2) one of the finest cuts I’ve ever had, seared and cooked to a beautiful Med-rare w/Charred Romaine that was absolutely devine. It came with thick cut Pomme Frites that were light and fluffy as well. The au poivre sauce, piping hot, was served over the meat as it was placed on the table. Smoked Duck with tons of flavor and crispy skin, again, cooked to perfection. Served with veggies and a spring roll made of duck meat. Lobster Rigatoni. I don’t think I need to explain how wonderful this was. My son had the App version and it was perfect for him. As a side to our Mains we ordered Lobster Mac & Cheese, and Roasted Cauliflower. I have to admit the cauliflower was so delicious we all stopped eating our mains and ate the cauliflower first. It was that good. The M&C was great too. For dessert we had expertly made espressos and we couldn’t pass up the pumpkin tart which dissolved in your mouth and made you scream for more. The technique and execution of the cooking, and plating are so exquisite that the chef deserves a nod and a wave before you leave. You won’t soon forget a trip to Atrium, and you’ll want to come back. If you come Thursday thru Saturday for dinner you’ll need a reservation. PS: Brunch is crazy, always packed. Make a reservation. Service is spotty but usually you’re not in a rush for brunch anyway. & Happy Hour — Great Specials. Basically, just go and make up your own mind.

Not a resident of Dumbo but I am a New Yorker who loves to eat out. We had no lunch reservations but the maitre D’ was great. We waited no more than 5 min and got seated The menu is sparse and overpriced. The portions are ridiculously small. Not a piece of bread, roll or breadstick with a salad? We paid $ 3 for a side portion of potato chips. There was about 12 chips. Really??? I eat more than that in one handful. The food was tasty but not worth the price. I paid something like $ 7 extra to get lobster in my Cobb salad and it was enough to fill a cavity. Beautiful bathrooms. There are so many restaurants in that area I just can’t find a reason to go back to this one.

Reservations needed if you are coming prime dinner time on a weekend. This place was beautifully decorated, great for a girls night or a date. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Cocktails average $ 13 and for the quality and portions of food, prices were definitely reasonable. Everything below was shared between two people and was definitely sufficient to fill our bellies. Appetizer — Hand-cut Beef Tartare — Perfectly cut with a nice kick from what seemed like a mustard dressing but don’t quote me on the that! Good portion to share, accompanied by two crispy baguette slices. Pasta — Rigatoni(MC) — delicious, fresh. Good portion of lobster and the sauce was just perfectly made Side– Corn & Jalapeño Gratin — Sweet corn was on point with a nice subtle spice from the jalapeño. Two thumbs up. Main — Smoked L.I. Duck — I won’t lie that I was at first apprehensive about the duck as duck is usually accompanied/slathered with something ridiculously sweet that completely annihilates the taste of the duck. This dish was the complete opposite. ITWASAMAZING. Beautifully smoked, coated with charred skin. Cooked to the perfect temperature with a light sweet fresh sauce. Loved it. Satisfies both the sweet and savory components I would say. Overall: Go

My girlfriend introduced me to this place. The atmosphere of the place is very nice. We went there for brunch. Think«wood-sy.» and bungalow. Deviled Eggs: There were about 5 of them. They were good. About par. Smoked Salmon Crostini: I liked this dish. Most places, the smoked flavor overtakes the taste buds, this had a hint of it. I enjoyed this one a lot. Buttermilk Biscuits: I enjoyed this with the butter and jam and my coffee. The coffee there was strong and I enjoyed it with these biscuits. Another point for the biscuits. soup of the day: tomato gazpacho? I can’t remember the exact name. It was a chilled soup. It was different at first, but then you keep on eating it and it grows on you. It had a punch to it, like the dressing on a cold cut sandwich!!! I liked it. Overall Impression: The atmosphere was nice. It was a beautiful place. The food was probably some of the best I’ve had in NYC so far. Every dish was good, which is difficult. It was a chilly morning and the AC was blasting. We happened to sit under the draft(they said they lowered the AC, but it kept on running). Other than this minor hiccup, the place is nice. I’d probably go back, sometime in the evening next time to check out the lighting.

My husband and I came in for an impromptu, early date night this past Friday(around 6pm) and was quickly seated upstairs for dinner. The restaurant had not too long ago open and was quickly filling up. We were seated upstairs and had a nice view of the open kitchen and the downstairs dining area. The ambience and décor is very lovely, romantic and perfect for a date night or special occasion it seems. Food: Overall the food was delicious! Nice mix of American and French flare. We ordered the bread and muscles for starters and both were great. The muscles served well for two and the creamy sauce was to die for. We actually asked for more toast to enjoy some more of the sauce after the muscles were finished and this was no issue to do. For main course, we shared the chicken pot pie(though we usually shy away from chicken dinners when out) and it was delicious. The dish is served in two parts — the two breast halved and the remainder of the chicken parts cooked with veggies in the actual pot pie. The chicken was cooked perfectly tender(even with a crispy skin!) and very well seasoned. I could have done with the side wedges as they were a bit too crispy and didn’t compliment the meal that well for me. Service: Our waiter and other staff were very warm, friendly and attentive. Our water glasses were always filled and if we needed something a staff member was not too far away. Overall great experience and would definitely return.

Came here for our anniversary dinner on a Saturday night. Everything we had was delicious! The Trumpet pasta w/lamb ragout was amazing! My wife and I shared the Smoked Long Island duck and the Colorado lamb chop and both were beyond expectations. The duck was the best I’ve ever had. We finished with cocktails and the Cucumber & Agave cocktail was incredible. Along with the perfect meal, this place has a really cool vibe. Everything is relaxed and casual, from wood table tops to soft hip hop and modern rock on the sound system, but still classy with knowledgable and professional staff who are attentive and friendly.

Had a lovely outdoor brunch here over Labor Day weekend. Maybe it was quieter than usual due to the holiday, but DUMBO was calm and serene that morning and Atrium was a beautiful and welcoming place to sit outside and enjoy the amazing weather we were having. I arrived early and had my pick of stools by the bar inside. As others have mentioned the interior is lush and gorgeous, very clean and modern. However the weather that day was too nice to sit indoors. The bartender offered me a glass of water while I waited, which was a nice touch. You might think this is a given, but I have waited at many other bars inside restaurants where the staff didn’t so much as take a second look at me. My friend and I kept it simple by both ordering egg dishes(she the scrambled eggs with charred kale, tomato, and sausage, and I the omelette with ham, mushroom, and gruyère) and were not disappointed. My omelette was fluffy, cooked perfectly, and came with a side of simple greens and toasted baguette. The salad was very generic, but light and tasty. Although my friend’s eggs did not come with any toast, our waitress gladly brought some out for her as well. I’m not sure what would make me award Atrium the 5th star, but I would gladly come back for another meal and a longer stay to find out.

Went on a cold night, place was quiet. Aesthetics is lovely, any minimalist would appreciate it. Open kitchen, thank you I have a view of the cute chef. Service– amazing, my waiter was super friendly. Food. NY Strip(aged) — Cooked perfectly, probably not the best quality(I’ve been spoiled dating someone who owned a steakhouse) but I ate all of it, including the fat… I’m so excited there’s a place to grab a steak now in Dumbo. The pomme lyonnaise and bone marrow and swiss chard were perfect compliments. Escargot– Serve in bowl with sliced mushrooms and butte garlic sauce; I like my in shells; didnt need the other stuff.(Didn’t serve it with croutons or bread so we asked and they happily obliged) Beef tartare — not the melt in your mouth I prefer, meat was firm and wanted to taste more shallot and feel the texture of yolk — it’s a clean tartare i guess, I want a dirty one– gooey, lots of flavor, etc Brussel sprouts with bacon– tasted heavily of butter(but I’m a fan of butter), bacon is cubed itty bitty, so it more like bacon bits but soft… when i eat bacon, i like it in larger portions so it can play in my mouth. Management– runs a tight ship, dressed to the nine. I will definitely be coming here more often though.

I popped in here for some white wine and oysters one rainy evening. They served me the house oyster — Montauk Pearl — a type I’ve never had before. It was in a teardrop shaped cup and was full of briny goodness. It was also very clean and served at the perfect temperature. Their wine choice complemented the oyster well. The service was a bit odd since I sat in the bar area. Two of the staff told me my oysters were from different areas of the Northeast. *Shrug*
