We came here Sunday for brunch and we were greeted by the most pleasant host and hostess, it was a quick 10minute wait and we were in! Waitress was great too and as soon as we sat down we were handed menus and given water. She was able to switch out my water glass that appeared a little run down making it look dirty. No prob!
Food came out quick and hot and most importantly it was banginnn! We had huevo rancheros, chicken and waffles, the kale Caesar salad with anchovies (best part!) and for dessert the key lime pie and a cappuccino. We wouldn’t order the key lime again because it didn’t quite taste like your typical key lime pie and it was orange hue that we were told was that color because of the eggs. 🥴
Overall we really enjoyed this place and will return.
Go here!!!

I came here for Sunday brunch with my friends. Our reservation was for 11:45 AM - by about 12:15 PM the restaurant was very busy. We sat in a comfy booth - we all loved the fried chicken & waffles. We also tried the French dip sandwich with fries - we liked it but wouldn’t order it again. We loved dipping the fries into the French dip! We indulged in mango mimosas and mango lemonades with rum. The drinks were amazing! I cannot wait to return next time I’m in Brooklyn.

I’m new to the neighbourhood and have been in after moving all day three times already. Now a regular! Excellent cuisine, everyone from the Chef, kitchen, management to service know what they’re doing. It’s totally cozy and there’s something for everyone. Delicious oysters and wine.

Outstanding food and service! Came in during a busy Friday lunch rush and the service was excellent. Everyone was so attentive and kind. The menu is small and carefully crafted which I really enjoyed. Walter’s has the absolute best fried chicken I’ve ever tried in NYC! Perfectly crispy coating with delicious tender meat and generous portions. The bacon gravy and hot honey take this dish to three next level. Truly a spectacular meal in a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. I’ll certainly be back as brunch menu looks incredible as well. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

A decent eatery near the park, open relatively early, we walked in around 4pm on Saturday for early dinner. They had a very limited early menu (the main dinner menu starts at 5pm) - the raw bar and a burger were available. The burger was good but with a hard chewy pickle, my friend's poke was not much different from a regular tuna tartar and quite small. The gluhwein comes from a pre-made mixture (white wine based) and gets warmed with a coffee machine steamer, it was way too sweet. But wine selection is decent including interesting orange wines.
Overall a casual neighborhood vibe with a local crowd of all sorts.
