What an extraordinary gem right here, nestled in Park Slope! We felt as though we were characters in a Jane Austen novel, having tea with friends. The staff is SO nice, friendly, well-informed, generous, and happy to be there! We cannot wait to go back! Thank you Shelby and the other lovely young person whose name I didn’t catch!

Great experience had the calamari, escargot, halibut, mussels and miso cod. All cooked perfectly. Only complaints were that it was very loud, so dark I could barely read the menu and cod could have used more miso. Would definitely return !
