"Owned by the same team as Carroll Gardens’ Buttermilk Channel, this Boerum Hill restaurant makes its steak tartare with egg yolk, chile oil, cornichons, and briny, crunchy pickled mustard seeds. It’s served at dinner as well as weekend brunch. Elsewhere on the menu, look for creative tweaks on French dishes and ingredients, like a savory foie gras parfait appetizer. When the weather is nice, hit up the tranquil backyard garden." - Alexandra Ilyashov
