BlackBook Lowdown

Our favorite lost Brooklyn nabe finally gets its own destination dining. Screen-door chic from ex-Freemans pair. Worn wood floors, distressed walls, reclaimed copper bar outfit Dumbo's own country house. Definite echoes of that Old Weird America. Chef Jean Adamson makes the commute from carriage house in back to serve NoCal-styled Greenmarket grub, much of it roasted up in the wood-burning oven. Inventive combos like arctic char with grapefruit and quinoa, lamb with chickpea and fennel. Affordable, sustainable, extremely likeable.

No Booze Yet

Posted by loopdesign on Saturday, December 06, 2008

As you'd expect from the Freemans peeps, space is perfect combo of cozy and uber cool. Beware, no liquor license yet. Mixed ble$$ing ... BYOB until then or order a bottle delivery from Blanc et Rouge down the street. Food was a little on the bland side (brussel sprouts way overcooked) but I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. I'm definitely going back. Very cool vibe. Seems like the perfect secret hideaway in that magical little block.
