Rachel, our server, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The crispy eggplant with lentils and labneh was delicious. My wife who dislikes eggplant loved the flavors. After dinner, I typically desire a port, however the manager recommended two desert wines as a pairing with the Brooklyn Blackout desert. The Banyuls and Santos Vinsanto were recommended. The first sweeter than the second, but the second was a better pairing from both my wife’s and my perspectives. Each brought flavors out of the desert as shared with us. While I do like port, I appreciate someone going outside the norm to try new things. Home run! I will try this again!

Food was just ok for an upscale place. Lobster chowder was excellent, beef tartare was delicious. Lamb was tough by two. If us. Gnocchi was burnt and bland. Menu needs a reboot. Drinks and wine were amazing. Wine and service was amazing. Dessert and ambiance was great.

Sat near the front window and every time the door was opened got a very cold breeze across the our table. Had to be moved twice and ended up seated at the bar. Made reservations well in advance and eat at the bar. Will not be going back again.

The Tasting Room consistently serves excellent food in a great space with impeccable service. They did again last night. The only thing missing was a curtain at the entrance to keep us from feeling a frigid blast every time the door opened.
