Wienerschnitzel of a Woman
Thomas Beisl
Fort Greene
The food was delicious. And it would have tasted even better if the woman sitting next to us was not freaking out about everything. She was silly enough to have ordered a hamburger at an Austrian restaurant, and ridiculous enough to have sent it back 3x because the kitchen couldnt get it right. The woman complain about her too overcooked or too undercooked burger and managed to force her silent and patient husband in the middle of dinner into going across the street to the BAM Rose Theatre to buy tickets for the movie they were going to see after the dinner. And amidst all of THAT she was able to multitask her anxiety riddled brain to ask me no less than 4xfor the time, so that they would not be late.
My wienerschitzel was delicious, really. It had crunchy breading and had a nice salt spike. The goulash was a bit salty. But my kraut was pleased to see that the spaetzle was handmade. I started with moules, which were steamed in a spicy garlicky broth. Overcooked and puny, but tasty. Beet salad was also pleasant.

Trying to be Manhattan in Brooklyn
Stonehome Wine Bar
Fort Greene
why do it? why try to bring that slickness and 212 to a place that is so distinctly 718? the flights were nice. the cheese was dispensed in parsimonious amounts. the bread was too much. and there was no A/C. nice but not twice.

A Little Chinese
Little Bistro
Court Street
Blue cheese on the mac & cheese, and duck sauce on the short ribs. What?
Cumin dusted calamari, where is the cumin?
The design of this restaurant is like an undergrad Parson's student masturbation.
