    Oh no! What happened?! We love your basement pub called the PO Box, but the restaurant upstairs…read morereally blew it! I'm changing to a three star review because these two restaurants are really on both ends of the spectrum. PO Box - 5 stars American Table - 1 star This updated review will be about the "American Table" The Good- Beautiful ambiance. Nice young man doing his best as our server. The food was tasty once we got it. The Bad- It took forever and a day to get our food. Some of our food was piping hot and some was cool at best. They forgot all kinds of extras we had ordered like soup. The staff was just strange and clueless most of the time. The Ugly- two tables around us up and left and never even received their food. The staff was bickering around the customers trying to make order out of the chaos. We had multiple meals brought to our table that we never ordered. It's almost as if they don't have a numbering system for the tables or the expo person gave no instructions. We will come back to the PO Box, but never again to the American Table.

    Ambiance: This place is beautiful. Food: My husband had the…read morelamb shank and it was good. My son had the cajun pasta it was not amazing but it was fine. I had the bone-in pork loin and it was extremely dry, like make you want to dunk it in your water glass dry. The side of veggies was clearly frozen vegetables warmed up in the microwave. I had the soup, which the waitress described as "some sort of pork soup". I asked for clarification she said there was some other name for that she couldn't recall, but the chef said basically, its pork soup. The broth in the soup was quite good, but other than a couple chunks of celery, it was a lot of pork, seemed like maybe left over pulled pork. But it was my favorite part of my meal. They are clearly going for fine dining with the prices and the look, and they're almost there, but missing the customer experience touches, details, and execution to pull it off. I'm pulling for them to be successful, so I'm hoping they learn and make the necessary changes to make it work. P.S. I was there for a business catered function, they served 3 kinds of traditional pasta, salad, and dessert and that was fantastic. P.P.S. The downstairs casual restaurant is fantastic

    My wife and I came in tonight to give it a try since the change in concept for this building…read more Positives: The food was delicious, I had the chopped salad, my wife had the Cobb salad with shrimp and we got some riblets. Negatives: Almost everything else. I hope the owner sees this and is able to regain control of the restaurant before the staff completely ruins their investment. We arrived around 7:30 on a Monday night. We came in to a sign that said Please Wait to be Seated. We stood at the entrance for a bit, but the one employee we did see avoided eye contact and didn't acknowledge us. We did see someone in the bar area, so we decided to come in and sit at the bar. Some ambiance notes: No music was playing so all conversations and noises were intrusive into our dining experience . The multiple tvs were tuned to mostly regular tv shows with no captions. One tv was playing the bachelorette at a volume that made it so we heard every s and p that was said and about nothing else. No sports were on. The lights were as bright as a retail store. I told my wife it felt like we were eating in a Target. The worst part by far was the table of servers that were sitting in uniform drinking. On duty staff was hanging out at that table as well. Conversations revolved around getting drunk. How much money they didn't make, what guests were annoying, etc. The manager (I think off duty), was sitting at the bar involved in a drama filled FaceTime session with the volume up. Now I know all about her childcare issues. She also was bad mouthing the restaurant to her friend. Service was impacted by the amount of time the bartender spent interacting with the employee table. Quick note, one of the servers that was drinking was messing around with an order on the Toast POS handheld and the bartender was yelling across the room to cut it out and exit out of the order he had pulled up. We had almost no interaction from the bartender. She asked if we needed boxes while we were still in the middle of eating our meal. When we were ready to go it took some effort to get our check, because she was hanging out at the employee table. The whole experience made it likely that we won't return, although we would consider getting food to go. What really needs to happen is a culture change with your staff before it's too late, probably involving some personnel changes including the manager. Right now the foxes are running the hen house. If things don't change soon, I would set the over/under for going out of business at 6 months.

    Don't know how food tasted. It never came. I was charged fir it but it took so long I didn't have…read moretime to eat it.

    I love the small town atmosphere of places like this old-time classic soda fountain shop. The…read moreserver was very nice, and attended to us quickly. The ice cream and pies on offer looked tantalizing, but we came in for dinner first. We ordered 2 hot sandwiches and swapped halves so we could enjoy sampling more on our first visit. We tried the Italian Stallion and the Great Dane sandwiches, both on sourdough, with fries on the side. We loved both sandwiches, but thought the Great Dane was better. The American Fries are actually roasted, seasoned new potatoes (not fried potatoes), but they were delicious! For dessert I had to go with the classic banana split because they are hard to come by. Amazing! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

The Classic is just that, a beloved local spot in downtown Brooklyn where the friendly service and delicious food made for a truly memorable dining experience! The staff made us feel right at home from the warm greeting at the door to the server's helpful recommendations. The menu offered plenty of options, including daily specials. My tacos were delicious and bursting with flavor. Whether you live nearby or just passing through - i would definitely recommend making a stop here.
