based on citysearch reviews, my boyfriend and i decided on this slightly far out neighborhood eatery for our anniversary. on a saturday evening at 7pm we basically had the place to ourselves. the decor is brown warm sophisticated modern. the waitress was knowledgeable but not too pushy. \r
we had some cocktails, mine was a honey vodka pear and ginger champagne which was strong but enough to give you a great buzz. our appetizer was GRILLED OCTOPUS which was basically a salad but with very tasty small morsels of octopus. my entree was CRISPY DUCK with pearl cous cous and spinach which was delicous. the other dish was KOBE BURGER with fries which was also very good. the meal was complemented by a SPANISH WINE and a CREME BRULEE SAMPLER ( four different flavors). \r
i'm on the lookout for a place i would actually go back to in brooklyn's (specifically BOCOCA's) vast choices of eateries. this one is very romantic however not for a social lounge scene, not for a fun girls night out. it is good for large parties if you arrange it ahead of time, as we were leaving a party of 25 came in! def a good tiny date spot. for cocktails, appetizer, bottle of wine, two entrees and dessert expect to cost about a C-note.
Pros: tasty food, intimate setting
Cons: not a social scene
