An absolutely delightful neighborhood gem with attentive service and a well managed and friendly staff headed by owner Mark. Have been coming here for years, even though we've moved out of Brooklyn and find the food and service consistently at a high level. Especially delightful was the three mustard Scottish salmon and the tortilla crusted shrimp (as an entree) along with the beet / Gorgonzola salad. Wrapped it up with Mrs. Mudpie -- always a delight.
