What a delightful experience! I was having too much fun to take pictures.The wait staff is patient! I was dining with a college buddy that I hadn't seen in years. The waiters were not pushy in the least as we gabbed and leisurely perused the menu. We ate outside and we're very comfortable. We were there during the heatwave. I don't know how they managed it, but, we didn't miss air conditioning one bit.We settled on the Oysters, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Beet & Fennel Salad, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Deviled Eggs and Braised Short Ribs. Worth every single penny! Every bite was perfect.A neighboring table had kids gone wild. Touching all the service at two empty neighboring tables. Eew. But, when they left, the wait staff just cleared and cleaned those tables without a sidewards glance. I hope they were well tipped. I felt much safer watching this tasteful safety protocol in place.Black Factor: Safe
We went for brunch and got the French toast and the impossible burger- both were delicious! I also got the cyborg cocktail, really good!! I’ll definitely be back
Nice spot for lunch in the Fort Greene area. Perfect if you need a spot to grab a bite and discuss business. Server was very kind, but the speed of service was very slow today. It took over 30 minutes for us to get out food and the restaurant was maybe only 1/8 at full capacity. I do know there were only two servers for the afternoon shift though, so it may have been a scheduling thing. Food is decent here, I had the Caesar salad which seemed to be missing parmesan and lemon and a good amount of pepper, but it was tasty once those things were added. It was nice of them to fry my chicken for the top though I know it's not normally on the menu. The crispy artichoke salad was very good as well. The lemonade here was a bit too tart for my friends, they had to add some grenadine to tone it down.
Happened upon this place through a Google search: wanted to find a spot that was a pub in Brooklyn and not in Manhattan. Decided to make it a group outing with The Crew. Reservations are recommended. We had a choice of seating arrangements. Service started out slow, but eventually it picked up.All the food we tried was fresh and simple (not overly complicated). Salmon on their salad had crispy skin along with the roasted chicken (you don't really see that often anywhere). Mac n cheese was also another hit. Other highlights were the cheeseburger spring rolls, braised short rib (comes apart like nothing), and the lava chocolate cake. Drinks were on point too. Can get a bit pricey though, so beware of that. Definitely gotta come back to try other things on menu. Thanks again for a great time.
3 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5 for one reason only: the waitress. The food was some of the best pub food I've had. All of us at the table had a delicious meal. Atmosphere is really cute without the overt Irish pub look. It makes me mad our entire experience was ruined by our outrageously terrible waitress. She left us waiting for service for over 20 mins. When she finally came over after me asking if someone was assigned to our table the first thing she said was "you guys need to hurry because the kitchen is closing". We'll we wouldn't have had to worry if we got our order taken. When I responded and said, we would have liked to place our order sooner. We were waiting for over 20 min. She clapped back and told me she seriously doubts it was that long. Really? It takes a lot for me to complain about anything. 2 of the 3 people I was with have been in The restaurant industry for years and were appalled at her attitude. She never said another word to us. I would absolutely love to go back for the delicious food but probably won't due to this lady.
Wasn’t crazy about the food. The bar didn’t have any tequila or vodka which is weird for “Bar”… my sister ordered the fried chicken. Terrible mistake. And she ordered a drink that came half full. The fries were traaaaaash. I loved they allowed the dog to come in with us so that was the best perk. Won’t be back though
Went for brunch with a big group. Staff kept an eye on our pitchers and made sure to bring more out, took orders efficiently, food did not take too long and was delicious. Everyone cleaned their plates and was very happy with the experience. Would come back!
Love this place! Very friendly staff. Great food, really good fries if you’re a fries lover like me! And warm ambience. Not too loud or busy when we went, just perfect. There is also a rewards / points program, so signed up for that because I know we will be back!
It's a great spot. Interior, staff and food are great. The burger is renown in the neighborhood.
Putnam's is my go to favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. I have never had anything I didn't love. My favorites are the steak au poivre, wild atlantic salmon, and deviled eggs appetizer and their buttermilk biscuits with jam during brunch are delicious! They also have excellent, A+++ customer service which is just as important as the food in my book. Everyone is always so friendly and very accommodating when I call or stop in. They did forget to include the peppercorn sauce with my steak the last time I ordered but they quickly delivered it after I called them back and included a slice of pie to say sorry which I appreciated.
