This was hands down the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant and I didn’t even stay for the meal. The host treated us so disrespectfully on arrival that we immediately decided to leave. As we were walking out, two women sitting nearby said “the food here isn’t even that good. Definitely go somewhere else.” Avoid at all cost!

The food was yummy! The restaurant is a bit new and short staffed but it’s going to be a lovely addition to the neighborhood. Can’t wait to see how it grows into the neighborhood.

Basically just came here for drinks after work. My wife and I seemed to be the first to arrive, sat outside and got great attention. The cocktails we had were on point. We also shared the watermelon salad which was very tasty and refreshing on a muggy summer’s day. I’d come back here for drinks and possibly for dinner.

Our third night in Brooklyn. Walked to restaurants each evening. First two were very good, moderately expensive and full. Water St. was the best food, value and service. Maybe that it hasn't been open long accounts for the it being half full. This spot moved to the top of our list. Even had a three piece jazz combo in. They were excellent but lead was a trumpet. I'd recommend a change to a keyboard or guitar. Space not designed for a trumpet. Started with oysters. Excellent. Pasta, Excellent. Highly recommended.

The food was very good and well prepared. The cocktails were exceptional as well. The prices were also very reasonable especially for a touristy location like Dumbo. I highly recommend it.

The cocktails were out of this world. Ilde and Ty, the two bartenders, were master mixologists and super warm. Would definitely come back!

Hello I made a dinner reservation on Open Table for Sat April 8 at 10:30P. Your online reservations are available til midnight. When we arrived, the kitchen was closed. Please fix your Open Table. Nobody wants to make a dinner reservation if you only have drinks. I tried to email you. But your email doesn’t work. SANDY
