"Cafe Kestrel opened over the summer in a Red Hook space that has housed several other food businesses over the years. It’s a lovely little storefront with just a few tables that feels right for a date night. Owner-chef Dennis Spina, years back, was known for Roebling Tea Room, and more recently, the kitchen at Metrograph. Early standouts included the fried squash blossoms with honey; the skate wing with fava beans; as well as a chicken dish with a potato tower with carrots and capers (the menu has since rotated)." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
