Profile

Neil Ganic has been opening and closing versions of this restaurant around Brooklyn for over a decade now, and the latest incarnation, straddling the BQE in western Carroll Gardens, provides delicious proof that the bargain-seafood concept works. Ganic employs a fish-market conceit, with the daily catch on full display and the menu posted in a window pane overhead, and combines the simplest of preparations (whole grilled porgy, for instance) with the most comforting of presentations (most plates come with buttered vegetables and buttery mashed potatoes). The BYO policy keeps prices low, and despite an expansion into the adjacent flower shop, the space feels as cozy and unpretentious as its predecessors. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

We went to Petite Crevette for dinner last night and were somewhat blown away, despite having already heard great things. We started with a tomato and mozzarella salad. The mozzarella comes from the place across the street and the tomatoes tasted like summer (despite the cold March weather). The fish was notably fresh (we ordered the cod and the salmon, as per the recommendation of our server). The fish was accompanied by perfectly cooked veggies and mashed potatoes. The service was out of this world- each person was especially knowledgeable about the menu and the "stories" of the fish, produce, and cheese. It felt like we were at a family home for dinner. Very impressive and highly recommended!
