Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Carroll Gardens

The food was very good. Delicious PEI Pink moon oysters and other great selections. Hamachi crudo was great and I love the idea of local fresh ingredients. I’m glad we came- the halibut was a little too hard on the outside for me but the inside was nicely cooked. Brussels and potato purée were simply delicious. The brûlée cheesecake and cappuccino to finish helped power the 20 block walk home! It’s up there with the best of the restaurants I’ve been to. Prices were a little high but that’s what you expect in NYC.

We went on Christmas Day, we appreciate everyone who worked on Christmas and worked hard on making our day special. The restaurant was decorated for the holidays! The staff is absolutely fantastic! The drinks were good, food was good, dessert is excellent. The atmosphere is the perfect amount of cozy.

It was a wonderful Christmas dinner! Food was excellent and the whole service crew was very friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Jasmine who has been phenomenal! We learned about the Christmas cabin from her the last time we were at the restaurant!

The experience was truly exceptional, with outstanding food service and a captivating ambiance. The attentive staff provided warm hospitality, ensuring every need was met with efficiency and a friendly smile. The restaurant’s elegant decor and soft lighting created a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. We eagerly anticipate our return in the new year.

Honestly pretty noisy but I feel like it’s intentional so the tables feel more secluded. Personally wish the seats didn’t have a stool separating when dining for 2 but that’s more preferential. The food is phenomenal staff is so so friendly—it feels like they are background actors haha. The space is very intentional well done. Aquavit does not even compare to this if a date is what you’re looking for. The food is also very interesting while aquavit is more classical well done Swedish dishes this is a great space for a date as the dishes give you something to talk about with your partner that pertains to the space you’re in.
