Nice supper in the market but found the portions rather small and the prices a bit high. Food was tasty, but when we left the restaurant we went somewhere else to grab a bite to eat because we were both still hungry

Food was okay, nothing to write home about. Our server was very nice! Don’t think we’d go back though.

We really enjoyed our dinner. The staff are very friendly and you’ll enjoy service at a very relaxed pace. I ordered the New York strip with brussel sprouts and garlic mash for my sides, and my wife ordered the filet mignon with mixed vegetables and garlic mash. Delicious! The steaks and sides were very tasty and I would have given this meal a 5 star rating if the steaks had not arrived cold. It’s a shame because the food tasted so good! Will we go back? Absolutely, yes. We really liked this little gem.

We had a reservation at 11:00 am on Saturday and the waitress was there but didn’t open the door. The door was locked and the restaurant was closed I guess. So we had to find another place to eat. Really disappointed we had guests in town and we wanted to show them this place but our reservation was not respected.

Hello Jess, We sincerely apologize that your reservation was not honoured when you arrived on Saturday at 11AM. We did have a glitch in our reservation settings that allowed you to make the reservation, even though we don't open until noon on Saturdays. We would love and appreciate the opportunity to make things right. If you could reach out to our manager Nigel nigel@backtobrooklyn.ca we would love to invite you back for brunch on us at your convenience. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Back To Brooklyn

It was great food and great service! It was super quiet as we were the only table there for brunch. Perhaps due to the weather. Would be a great place for summer brunches though! Small, and limited tables so if it was a nice sunny day, I would book in advance just in case.
