My wife and I are Park Slope residents and hadn't been here in a few years although we have…read moreconsistently recommended it to friends and relatives. Last night we came here, and although the service was friendly and welcoming, the food was definitely uninspired. We had a frisee salad which was sad, wilted and overdressed in red wine vinegar and bacon grease. It should've been bright and vibrant. Also troubling was that the poached egg was over hard - a quintessential aspect of the dish is the runny yolk, but instead it was just like an overcooked fried egg. Did the chef not notice this? Or did he/she not care? I had the duck which was not rendered properly. The skin should've been brown and crusty throughout but was instead inconsistent with that pale yellow hue of fat. Also, the meat was not properly sliced with pieces sticking together. The vegetables on the side were an afterthought, underdone and boring. Why not serve a solid mashed potato or cauliflower? A ratatouille? The food was not cheap and it was disappointing to eat a dinner clearly not made with love or passion.

We had passed by this spot so many times but couldn't figure out the name since the large sign says drug store.

When you…read morefirst walk into this restaurant, it seems quaint with a couple tables and bar seats, but the backyard is huge. People host weddings, birthdays, and special events here with the space. Since we came during happy hour from 5-6pm on weekdays, we took advantage of the deals. We each had a glass of house wine (HH $10 each), which was solid. We also started off with some Sourdough Bread ($10), which was not complimentary. The bread is pretty big with half a loaf though and the sponginess of the bread was perfect to dip into the olive oil. For our main course, we both got the happy hour pastas. I had the Carbonara ($15) and he had the Amatriciana ($15). The pastas are really good and fulfilling with lots of flavor. The pasta is definitely worth it during happy hour for $15 each, but pricey at regular price. For the value, I'd come back again but only during happy hour. The thing is that there's so many Italian spots in the neighborhood to make this place stand out from the rest, especially with the higher price point.

I was intrigued by this restaurant with the giant piece of fried chicken cutlet. But you know I…read morelove pasta so I was like is this my heaven? Then we went crazy and ordered basically almost all of the pastas just to try it all. We also ordered the hanger steak. The chicken dish duh, and a fish dish. Also, we ordered the cocktails. Our waiter recommended and it was on the weaker end in our opinion, but it was still tasty. We actually ordered from their wine list which was amazing and we got about three bottles for a party of seven. FYI!!! I just want to let you guys know that you need to pay for bread. Unfortunately, no free bread or butter or oils. We ordered arancinis (rice balls), a salad, bread for starters. It was crazy that the arancinis only came in an order of 3 and they were tiny. The pastas came all at once and fast. For the pastas, the portions were fair and I think the flavors were OK. The star of the entrée came out, which was the chicken cutlet, and I was so excited for it. But it was a little bit bland on my end in my opinion and it was actually very thin. The steak and fish entrée was on the smaller end. Overall, my party felt like it was an OK dining experience, the staff was friendly and nice, but we would not probably come back. (3.75/5)

We were greeted by a lovely, warm, and fun bar tender who was also doing wait service. She was…read moretotally attentive (not invasive) and every time she walked away we said "we love her". So that was nice. As well, the (I'm assuming) owner was coming around checking on people to make sure that they were happy. I appreciate that. The place is charming. Small and warm without being cramped. The most wonderful thing was that, though there was music playing, we could actually here each other as we spoke in normal voices!! I really hate restaurants that play music too loud - which seems to be the thing now. If I wanted thumpa, thumba, oonce, oonce, I'd go to a club. The food was really great. One of our party had the veggie lasagna, which she was really happy with. Two of us had the bouillabaisse and they loved it. I had the boeuf bourguinon and it was so yummy and rich! It was so rich I couldn't finish it... though that might have been because of the parsley garlic fries and beet salad that we split before our main meals. I will not say it's cheap... it's not. $16 for a glass of wine, but I will go again.

This is strictly a wine bar, as I did not see any alcohol served. The food itself was not bad. I wouldn't say it was absolutely amazing, but I feel that the vibe and the wine selection really make this place what it is. The French onion soup was not terrible, but it could definitely be better. I feel that they use mozzarella cheese for the soup. This is supposedly a French inspired restaurant, so I will let them slide, but the crabcakes were OK. I don't really care for all the spice. It was served with a mango chutney, a pesto sauce, and some sort of chipotle mayo. I mean, these are just flavors completely out of left field. The crab cake itself was very spicy, and it was really a minced crab rather than chunks of crab. Again, this place is not supposedly known for crabcakes, so I can't really base it on that. The duck confit salad was OK as well. Nothing crazy, just all right. Didn't hate it, but I wasn't in love with it either. The burger I got was served rare, just how I liked it, and to be honest, it felt a bit bland. I wish there were salted pepper on the table so I can season the burger as I like it. The french fries were OK. They seem pretty good, a little soggy, but still good nonetheless. The beef Bourgainon was pretty good. the sauce itself was very good and you could tell a lot of care was put into the sauce. I'm not really much of a stew person, but this was good. The start of the show is the owner. He was vibrant, energetic, very considerate of his patrons, and totally welcoming and hospitable. Show I would definitely come back just for the ambience and the owner. This place is good, but it can be great couple of tweaks like a happy hour menu or a buy one get one half off or something, just to promote it. If you ran a special starting from 7 PM till about 9 PM, like a after work happy hour, I think you would really kill it on weekdays

Some places don't ask for your attention. They just quietly earn it…read more Flora offers an extraordinary encounter with Southern Italian gastronomic cultures. The pasta dishes, octopus, stews, carrots with yellowfin tuna. Every plate reveals a distinct constellation of ingredients, techniques, climates, and histories. The menu unfolds as a succession of gastronomic worlds, each carrying its own material intelligence and cultural memory. The space is equally compelling. It combines the abstract continuity and refined materiality of Mies's architecture with furniture that feels patiently assembled from remarkable vintage discoveries. Rather than restoring the building to a single moment, the design allows different layers of time to remain visible and in dialogue. The outdoor spaces are beautifully composed and lovingly gardened, extending the same care and intelligence that define the interiors. The service is warm, attentive, and impeccably professional. Nothing here is performative. The precision of the cooking, the calm confidence of the architecture, and the generosity of the hospitality all belong to the same sensibility. A remarkably well-kept secret in Park Slope.

We started with the pickled vegetable and wet bread appetizer which was strange and really salty. Wouldn't order again. The spaghetti al vongole was ok but not super flavorful and the clams were a bit chewy. The fish was also mediocre and tasted too fishy to be fresh, but the sauce it came in was delicious.
