Klee Brasserie?
Hubby and I went to Klee last night. Interesting vibe, crowded space, brilliant cocktails - we had the margarita with elderflower liquor and a campari-based cocktail that made me rethink my opinion of campari as a summer-only drink.
The service was spotty, and the food was good though not fabulous. I had the fried chicken that beat Bobby Flay. Good, compentent, but I like dark meat fried chicken and lots of it. This was two medium-sized pieces of good, breaded white meat, but to me it lacked ooomph. Hubby had the Octoberfest sausages. Very good, yummy homemade mustard, but again not fabulous. The bread is delicious, as is the three-sorbet dessert we ordered. I would go back, but frankly, I'd prefer to sit at the bar and drink those marvelous cocktails.
This was our first time at the restaurant, though, so take that into account. For Austrian food, I really like Thomas Biesl in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
Opening Night at the Smoke Joint
My husband and I just had dinner at the Smoke Joint, a new BBQ restaurant in Ft.Greene, where the Cambodian restaurant used to be.
They just opened tonight.
While they have some service issues to work out, the food was great! We had the baby back ribs, something called 'hot links' which was hot sausage, kale, macaroni & cheese & cole slaw. Cooked just right, not greasy, not too sweet, and good-sized portions. Good beers, too, with unusual brands like "Porkslap" (how could you not order this one at a BBQ place?). Staff was friendly, if a bit harried. No desserts yet....and I really wanted some key lime pie to finish.
