Food can be excellent, but have had a couple of unpleasant service experiences which are souring me on the place. I mean a splinter from the table mid meal is a bummer. Ih I got a band-aid, tweezers and flashlight. Oh and full fare for a meal i could not enjoy as my hand was bleeding. This is the second... more

everyone goes on and on about this place, but I've been there 3 times and I didn't love it. Proprietor too pushy, and the food was overpriced and not that great. more

I found out about this place when I was ill and looking for a pharamcy. The sign outside says "Drug Store". In then end, I was happy to discover this fabulously friendly family restaurant. Very simple and elegant food. The drug store theme continues inside. For me, the decor is apart of the experience. more

The food is very good, but it's the atmosophere--it's in an old pharmacy, the bar is beautiful, the owner is friendly and welcoming and very funny--that hits this ball out... more

Rustic sicilian. So good. the proprietors make you feel at home. the pasta is fresh and every preparation is thoughtful--I had a papardelle with a braised rabbit ragout. also, a trio of salmon tartare crostini made a light and delicious app. simple preparations, complex flavors. Knowledgeable staff -- asked for a wine recommendation and it was spot on. i'll be... more

This is not an easy place to find, but it's worth the hunt if you're looking for a great place to eat a bit off the beaten path in Brooklyn. First off, you need to take a C local train as the A train doesn't stop at nearby Clinton/Washington. Once off the train, you need to locate the MET supermarket... more
