“ Loved everything about this place. The space is small but comfortable. The decor is simple but it works. I went for brunch. It was full but I got a seat easily. I had the sweet Dutch Baby and it was amazing. To drink I had a Demi Rhub, which is a lager beer with their homemade Rhubarb syrup. It was refreshing and not too sweet. The service was wonderful. Adam was very nice and helpful. The prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. ”
“ Very interesting flavor of the burger and the potatoes were amazing!! the only thing is they lacked a sauce. 100% would go back for dinner ”
“ Loved it here. Really fun and interesting menu, great staff. It's quite a small dining space so you gotta book really. But loved the experience. ”
“ Burger and focaccia were delicious, the burger especially stood out. A side of focaccia is perfectly sized for 2 people actually - and cheaper than the dish. Coffee with orange blossom cream was interesting, would recommend to try at least once. Chicken and pancake was way too buttery and the chicken ended up tasting dry. Next time would skip that. It had good intentions though, just maybe excited slightly poorly. ”
“ Beautiful spot. DELICIOUS FOOD. My best friend and I went last night and are still in shock. That yuzi aoli burger? The way the lamb melted in our mouths. The crispy potatoes? Everything we tried was mouthwatering. ANGIE took really good care of us. Welcoming. kind, and gave the best recommendations. We will for sure be back. I strongly recommend. ”
“ Ive lived in nyc my whole life. Quite literally the best burger I’ve ever had. And the potatoes were flavorful! The desserts DELICIOUS. My spouse LOVED his breakfast plate. He was so happy all we talked about for the rest of the day how good the food was. Did not leave me feeling sluggish at all and the food was all so clean. 10/10 recommend ”
“ Beautiful - stylish, cosy and cool - dining space. Service was flawless. Everything we ate - skillet potatoes, bread and mac and cheese - were beautiful. Only wish I’d had room for drinks and deserts too. Great value. A gorgeous spot in Brooklyn - highly recommended. ”
“ First time at Gator and it was amazing. Was intrigued by the good reviews and the sustainable menu. The charred cabbage appetizer was full of flavor. And the lamb chops were perfect. Both were served on decisions purees. The pea puree on the lamb was special and the salad on top was anything but simple. Great dishes. Will come back soon. ”
