One of our favorite new restaurants in the neighborhood. Very inventive Asian-influenced food. Try the brunch if you can't get in for dinner, it's outstanding and not quite as crowded.

Giovanni is the nicest guy, and this is a friendly, inexpensive neighborhood spot. It won't be the most transcendant meal of your life but it's great for a simple night out!

Famous for their brunch, but dinner is great as well. Sometimes difficult to get a table as it's a small place, but people in the neighborhood love it here.

Essentials
CRAZY expensive, but gourmet and fresh food. We generally shop at the Park Slope Food Coop but it's members-only, and this is the closest place in the neighborhood for a huge selection of groceries.
