Profile

Café by day, raw bar and restaurant by night, this quirky Williamsburg canteen is the latest venture from the owners of Diner, the American bistro next door. And even though it is ideally situated to absorb Diner's overflow and ply them with retro cocktails and briny oysters, the dimly lit, wood-paneled space has been forging a cozy Mediterranean-accented identity of its own. Locals congregate at communal tables over good olives, delicate tortilla española, and daily specials like the wild-leek-and-goat-cheese tart. If you come across an ingredient you really love, up front is a quasi-organic gourmet general store, stocked by a retail savant. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Very "Drunk" service staff

What can I say. I never even got to my entree. Staff forgot to place my order. I know, it happens sometimes. But considering that the appetizer/entree menu is only 4 items. It did bother me. I did have a potato omelet as an appetizer that I order. Staff approached me with a cheese plate to the table after 25+ minutes of waiting for the entree as an apology. After I finish the cheese plate, and waited another 25+ minutes. I figured that I was wasting my time and decided to cancel the order.

Brick Chicken and Bakalar

A two-hour wait on a Monday night is not unusual. Don't miss: Brick-Chicken, the Bowl of Olives, Chocolate Tart, and the daily crostini. If you adored the food, pick up a copy of Diner Journal, which logs the local, seasonal recipes being used by Marlow and their sistering restaurant Diner (right next door). Ignore the service. Pay close attention to Caroline Fidanza, the brilliant mind behind the menu.
