It happened to be a Friday night when we visited this eatery in Park Slope specifically to feed a craving for beef marrow with oxtail sauce. We didn't have reservations but were lucky enough to be offered a seat at a table just after ordering our first drink at the bar. Originally the wait was anticipated at 20min. We order the oysters to start including a one selection from the East Coast and one from the West Coast. The serving was fresh and light on this steamy August night. Of course we had the beef marrow to share between the two of us which was really DELICIOUS. We ended up splitting the hanger steak with mushrooms since the appetizers were robust and satisfying. The service was extremely attentive, the crowd eclectic, ambiance bustling (even a tad bit loud since the room was fully occupied but not packed). If you can get here to have a special dinner, go. You won't be disappointed. My mind is still lingers on the delights of last night.
Pros: Sophistocated without being uptight
Cons: If you don't live in Park Slope it'll take some effort to get there
