"We came for thanksgiving dinner and left very satisfied. The pork chop was especially good. While the turkey I had was a tinge dry, the accompanying sides were excellent."

"a lovely small neighborhood restaurant with great drinks and the food was all very flavorful! We got the beef shoulder as our main with a side of brussels, and for starters we did salmon tartare, bone marrow, and pork belly. they also gave us a complementary bok choy dish which I loved the flavor of."

"Arden is darling. Small and personal. We had fried olives (because, what?) and they were good. Kind of lost their oliveyness with the light breading and frying. And the Emotional Rescue cocktails - Delicious. A cod special with mushrooms and eggplant and curry. And the Roasted Hen of the Woods mushroom dish. Everything was beautiful, balanced, had a lot of mmmmmmm going on. Also, super cute journals carried the check to the table, with comments and drawings. Very fun. We would def go back again."

"What an exceptional brunch experience. The cocktails were outstanding, with playful names inspired by music icons—one after my favorite Beyoncé track, Alien Superstar, and another, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, honoring the infectious Selena hit. Each drink was superb, with a subtly botanical character that felt especially fitting given the restaurant’s proximity to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. For brunch, I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros and the French toast. The Huevos Rancheros featured perfectly cooked short rib, which proved to be the highlight of the dish. The French toast struck a harmonious balance between sweet and savory; fresh blueberries and raspberries, paired with a delicate caramel drizzle, eliminated any need for syrup. I also sampled the shrimp and grits, which were equally impressive. Even before tasting the shrimp itself, the rich flavor of the seafood infused the grits beautifully. The shrimp were plump, generously portioned, and cooked to perfection. The staff were exceptionally kind, attentive, and worked seamlessly as a team. I was fortunate to meet one of the owners, whose humility and graciousness left a lasting impression. I look forward to returning to explore the upcoming seasonal menu"

"Our first time here was a Sunday afternoon for brunch. We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed everything - the food, wines by the glass, the people who work here. Last Saturday we came back for dinner. Once again, it was lovely on all fronts. While we didn’t have anything from the happy hour menu, our meal (shared the little gems wedge; he had the octopus and shrimp starters for his main course, I had the chicken Marsala) was great. The portions were pretty large, and while I initially had hopes of bringing half my chicken entree home, I ate all of it. The side of corn cooked with miso was fantastic too"
