    Not sure if this is indeed a restaurant but when I was at this location in the summer it was Snipes teaming up with 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks alongside Jordan Brand to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Spike Lee's iconic film, Do the Right Thing. So enjoy these photos from outside the event. I'm sure they rented this space out or something as the bar is still visible but it seems like a nice establishment nonetheless.

    Dry vermouth with soda, $10, during Aperol Hour

    Great happy hour they call it "Apero Hour" with quality drinks (hard to come by in the area on a Friday night). I got the dry vermouth with soda and was super-pleased it came with a steel straw (which BTW helps keep the drink cold). I paid cash, and they had change, unlike at high volume bars in the city. The woman seated across from me at the bar got a macadamia nut snack, which she said were salted and with curry which sounds delish. The space has a nice airy feel to it, the books decorating the bookshelf not trying too hard (astrology)

    Unfortunately this was a miss for us (2.75/5 stars). Each of the dishes we got were mediocre at best and none of it made a lasting impression on us, which was such a bummer. The steak tartar was decent but didn't come with enough sauce and wasn't served with any bread or cracker to provide a nice texture contrast, so it's like eating a spoonful of flavorless raw beef without the sauce, so if you don't mind it then you'll probably enjoy the dish more. The smoked speck was also decent and quite flavorful, but would prefer the presentation to make it easier to grab each piece, for since it's on top of one another, each time we grabbed a piece, all the toppings would fall off. The radish and butter was very plain and didn't hit the spot for me, for the butter was too light in flavor to make a dent onto the rawness of the radish. The focaccia ricotta with hot honey was also quite bland in regard to the honey, and you would need to dunk it in a lot of ricotta to bring out its flavors. The Rigatoni alla Gricia was also light in flavor and without eating it with the accompanying meat resulted in no flavor at all unfortunately. Koji brined half chicken was overpriced for what it was worth, and didn't have much flavor as well, so it felt like eating a simple roasted chicken dish. The roast duck was a bit gamey but had a nice proportion of fat to balance it out. The red cabbage that accompanied it didn't enhance the dish much so you really just focus on the duck by itself. Overall, the price is quite high and the quality just wasn't on par with its price point. The area we sat at was close to the kitchen and since so many staff goes in and out, sometimes staff flings their hand and water would get on us. They didn't seem aware of it but the staff were all very friendly, so we didn't wanna make a big deal out of it, but just fyi to those who may be sitting near the kitchen area! One other downside is they forgot our drink near the end of our meal perhaps because they were busy and overworked. I think Margot has good potential, for I know their menu changes regularly, so I hope this review can help guide them to change and grow into something even more amazing. Unfortunately this time it was a miss for us, but I do hope to see them continue to grow and improve, by adjusting the flavor profile of their dishes and attributing a more congruent price to its quality, especially for their entrees! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

    Had a wonderful late Dinner at Margot last night! Had a 8:45pm reservation, and why the time we arrived, about 3 dishes were sold out so, keep at In Mind, however there were plenty of other things we tried! Overall service was very friendly, and enthusiastic. They kept our bottle of chilled wine in the back, so it took a bit between pourings. However not a big deal, maybe we drink too fast lol. Below is what we ordered with thoughts, what I will say overall, the ingredients are fresh and you can taste it! Focaccia, ricotta, urfa crunch: Bread was delicious, very crispy on the outside, bust still soft inside. Airy Ricotta, maybe could have just had a little tiny of sprinkle of salt but totally my preference. Spring vegetables, fromage forte, pistachio aioli: this right here was probably one of my FAVORITE, dishes of the night. I know it's just Veggies and Puree. but trust me! that Fromage Puree was chefs kiss. Little gem lettuce, crispy shallots, candied macadamia nuts: I'm a sucker for little gem salads, I'll always over it. I was concerned it was overdressed when we received it, but again, the flavor was spot on. Absolutely a delight. Black pearl oyster mushrooms, orange glaze: Mushrooms were lovely, meaty and hearty side, and it felt like you were indulging in a Chinese orange chicken dish but with Mushrooms. A bit of a guilty pleasure :) Cavatelli, nettle green garlic pesto: Very fresh Pasta option, the nettle green pesto flavor was a delightful alternative to regular pesto. Very unique and refreshing to go with the heavier items. Steelhead trout, celery root, mustard greens: Honestly i was STUFFED by the time i got here, but pretty simple, really well cooked fish, and that Celery Root puree was lovely with the fish. Vanilla bean ice cream sundae, candies nuts, caramel: Literally amazing, you can't go wrong with a rich delicious vanilla ice cream. perfect simple dessert Banana olive oil pound cake, toffee rum sauce: I don't even like bananas and couldn't taste it. this was a lovely dessert, and that toffee rum sauce was light and paired so well! Overall a very memorable dinner and would love to come back for more seasonal dishes! Cheers!

    Nice new neighborhood restaurant with a concise menu. Skip the bread but definitely get the Sweet Potato. The dessert is definitely the strong suit, so get em all like we did (except the cheese plate). The sundae is amazing, as is the chocolate tart with maitake mushroom ice cream.

    House made focaccia with ricotta and kumquat preserves.
    Ed W.

    Superb across the board: the rave reviews are well deserved. A sea bass crudo, house made focaccia with ricotta and kumquat preserves, wild boar ragú and banana olive oil cake. A terrific list of wines by the glass. This will be my go to for events in Clinton Hill.

    I'd heard and read so much about this restaurant, so I was really excited to get a 5pm Resy on a Friday night. The ambiance is great -- I loved the decor and the overall vibes. And our waiter was incredibly sweet and down to earth. They recommended five plates for two people so we got the oysters, blue cheese Waldorf, Hiramasa, the halibut and the wagyu. The last two dishes also came with milk bread that they were trying out which was really tasty dipped into the leftover sauce from the halibut. My favorites were the halibut, the hiramasa, and the oysters (make sure you slurp ALL the juice to get that spicy/sweet taste from the sauce.) I'd probably skip the Wagyu next time. Because of the price point it's probably not a place I'd come back to quite often, but I might stop in for a drink at their sidewalk bar service.

    cavatelli, nettle green garlic pesto

    GO! We tried almost every small plate on the menu & I had the cavatelli as an entre (which was my dream scenario). Loved the beans, salad was truly a little gem, adored the ambiance, and stayed for the best ceramics. Only note, Margot, please share your mix with us, a spotify link, a playlist even?

Had a welcoming and upbeat server, but the service was general slower and not rushed, 2.5hr for our meal. I was excited as the dishes sounded unique and promising but a lot of them fell short: The egg tonnato didn't have much flavor, the herb oil only adding a slightly grassy taste. I was excited for the hiramasa crudo, but it was bland and one note, even the mild pomelo overpowered the fish because of how little flavor. Fried anchovies were tasty and paired well with sage but the portion is so small for the price. What went well: sea bass was very well cooked, very soft, flaky, well flavored. Was under salted but I could add that myself. The pork was also well cooked, tender, generous portion of meat that paired well with the cherry. We finished off with the burnt caramel tart, which had a good flavor although the texture was on the softer side. I don't think the creme fraise really complemented it, but still tasty. There were some good dishes and Sailor is a vibe, but the price point and what we received I'm not sure if I'd return for a meal.

    This was an easy five star review for dinner--we had come here a couple of times for their four…read morecourse menu and were just delighted by the exceptional food and experience, not to mention the well-crafted cocktails and excellent wine to pair with your thoughtful meal. We were, however, a bit disappointed over recent times that they pulled back from their original plan and stated mission of including the service charge in the cost--it both seemed worker forward and made the cost seem more reasonable, with service charge built into the fixed price. Now the cost seems like any other nice restaurant--far above and beyond the printed menu price. Don't get me wrong, it is exceptional dinner and still well worth it, but a mental adjustment. Their rotating dinner menu (fixed menu, now 3 and 5 course options for different price points) is a brilliant move, meaning you can find something seasonal and new and inventive every couple of weeks. We can't afford to come every two weeks, but we do look forward to the new menu release every two weeks to judge our level of temptation. I'd also note that they apply their same model to breakfast--it is slow service, without bar service as far as we could tell. It was dinner speed at a more bustling brunch time. The food was still stellar--delicious sourdough breakfast sandwich and fabulous spiced pumpkin waffle (even if I had to fight for the advertised maple syrup)--but the service painfully slow. It works over a four course dinner with cocktails, but feels a bit more interminable as you stare at your number for breakfast for 30+ minutes--I think they need to adjust their approach here. Overall we are so grateful to have this gem in our neighborhood--fabulous food, great service... truly some of the best food and service in a neighborhood lacking great options for both. I know we are all feeling tariffs and inflation and cost of living, but the pricing approach/change has moved it from a "let's see the new menu every two weeks" to a more occasional splurge, and I'd be wary of the breakfast/brunch experience if you aren't prepared for a very leisurely day.

Beignet - unexpected, I really kept expecting it to be sweet but I'd get hit with the olive tapenade instead. The texture is nice, but I was a bit confused. Jewel box tomatoes - bright, fresh, and light. The mostly neutral but slightly savory feta gelato was very unique. Risotto - creamy, but still a bit of texture on each grain of rice. I loved the sweetness from the corn and richness from the squash. The peppers were delicious pops of flavor. Mille feuille - light and refreshing cream with a flaky exterior. Definitely come on Tuesday to save $16 (if the discount continues in the future). $83 for a high end-ish four-course prix fixe (includes tax and automatic service charge) isn't too bad in terms of pricing.

    Greetings all, it's been a while but here I am. Let's talk about Emily a quant pizza restaurant…read morethat you could easily walk pass and not know what they sold. Today however it wasn't pizza that brought me here, it was the famous Emmy Burger. To begin with the atmosphere of the restaurant is dim lighting a few tables with a reasonable sized bar in the middle of the room. They also have an open kitchen concept where just past the bar you can see the cooks working. My server Inda was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. My burger was excellent, normally I don't eat my burger with a knife and folk, but in this case with all the cheese and sauce oozing down the sides, not to mention the caramelized onions, it was necessary. (If I were home I wouldn't mind having burger juices running down my arm, but other people were eating in the restaurant also). The tiny pickles which I can't remember the name of were an added treat to the burger. I decided to order mine with the loaded fries. Just imagine the ground burger with all the toppings covering french fries and add melted white cheese. Since I was alone I didn't order a pizza because how would I eat it all, but next time I will try the pizza. I don't mind paying extra for a burger when it's aged beef and the taste is great. I definitely recommend this location. There is a fast food burger restaurant next door to Emily's but I can't imagine there burgers compare. I will try them another time and let you know. That's all for now, see you on my next review.
