"They have a lobster lunch special that has to be one of the best values in the city—a salad, bread, and a 1.25-lb lobster steamed or broiled with rice or Spanish fried potatoes for an astonishing $15.25. The restaurant is very pleasant in a 'Mad Men'-set kind of way. My current favorite cheap thrill." – buttertart on Sevilla

"The sushi is not strictly traditional in style but not silly. The quality is excellent: fresh obviously, [and] each fish actually tastes like it's supposed to. Esp good are uni, amaebi, some kind of little mackerel. ... Excellent apps are the dumplings, hamachi and octopus ceviche. Entrees: Duck Two Ways is excellent; grilled fish too. ... Overall, we think it's (1) our fave resto in Brooklyn overall, (2) def should be in any Top 5 of Brooklyn for food, and (3) is a very legit alternative to ... sushi in downtown Manhattan (we go to [Ushiwakamaru] and 15 East)." – tkny123 on 1 or 8

"[T]hese are some fine pierogi, particularly the meat. ... Potato ones were good, but the meat were just incredible. The filling had intense porky flavor, like it was cooked in lard, and great fluffy texture. Kind of like a Polish carnitas that has been put through a meat grinder." – missmasala on Stanley's Pierogi in Queens
