by Miles Stoudenmire
The food here is unique and fantastic. I think the negative food reviews are from people used to heavily salted American food. Instead here you get ingredient-driven flavor. The vegetarian tlayuda was particularly amazing with a smoky tasting squash ribbon topping it off. My hat is off to the kitchen. Try the ghost chili pepper salsa. The garden atmosphere was unique and service really friendly. Only thing I could wish for was a larger beer selection but definitely a very minor point and I enjoyed my pale ale.

This outdoor bar in Brooklyn has a wide selection of drinks. The vibe here is pretty relaxed, but it seems like they have some unadvertized pet policy (even if they are in a carrier), so if you are thinking about bringing your dog, think again.
