Elegant American-influenced creations grace this Park Slope standout. There is no visible pretense inside this homey dining room with a relaxed staff and simple decor. Yet the well-dressed professional crowd knows looks can be deceiving; behind the benign appearance is a kitchen turning out mini-masterpieces from a seasonal American menu.



The Food

Each bite bursts with flavor--thanks in part to the use of organic meat, wild fish and local produce. For starters, try a sinfully rich plate of scallops in a rutabaga-thyme puree with Parmesan broth or the jiggly braised pork belly atop caramelized apples. Though not as flavorful, the lobster salad atop fennel still bursts with zing. An order of the most tender braised short ribs around will make you the table's instant hero. Equally elegant is the striped bass with vegetables in a curried cream sauce, made divine by the addition of plump mussels. The sweet-tart grapefruit brulee counters with a cooling note.

Where to Sit

In the cold months, request a table by the wood-burning fireplace. No reservation? Try the small bar, where food can also be ordered.

What to Drink

The bar turns out tasty classic cocktails such as the sidecar and the wine list offers a few half-bottle options.
