This place has officially become one of my favorite summer brunch spots in Brooklyn. The ambiance is perfect and the service was just as impressive. Our server was absolutely amazing: friendly, attentive, and her recommendations were spot-on. We tried the octopus, oysters, and croquetas, and all three were fantastic. Everything was flavorful, well-portioned, and beautifully presented. - Dilan A
