This place has always been a favorite, not just in the Slope, but an NYC favorite. My bf and I were relieved to find that the new chef is great, and maybe the best chef they've had. We had dinner there last Friday and loved everything. Parsnip soup with pear. Grilled octopus with pinenut relish was some of the best octopus I've ever had - smokey, great texture. Suckling pig confit entree was to die for and striped bass with forbidden rice was subtle but fantastic. It came with something called musque de provence squash consomme that was earthy and fine. Fish was fresh and perfect. At $29 and $24 the entrees weren't cheap, but they were both home runs and worth every penny. Desserts have always been good, if not as flashy as the rest of the menu. Toasted almond ice cream was simple and sublime. Wine list is always interesting and fun. We had a bottle of blaufrankish (sp?) that was great value. Can't wait to go back!

We recently enjoyed Rose Water tremendously. We had been before, and always had a lovely time and were looking forward to trying the new chef. The food was amazing! The potato salad with the jasmine aoli was creative and delicious. We shared a rich, flavorful risotto, and I had the duck breast. Just thinking about it now , makes my mouth water. Perfectly seasoned and seared. The panna cotta for desert was also spectacular. Highly recommended. The brunch is also an amazing meal. Though the waits can be a little long for a table. Check it out!!!
