Worst service I've ever experienced
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

02/18/2008 Posted by bigmaus

We were excited to try the Brooklyn for the first time last Saturday evening - it was a special evening, celebrating two birthdays. The oysters were great, and the entrees were good. However, because of our waiter, it was a bit of a battle to actually get to the food and drink part of our experience. He was condescending and short with us the entire evening, starting the evening out by informing us how busy he was and that he didn't have time for this or that. It showed. He forgot to bring entire courses, neglected to remember that he'd taken a drink order (we often had to remind him 3x) and offered no apologies. It was busy that night, but my experience waiting tables is enough for me to know that there are many ways to let your table know that it's a bit hectic and still provide them with ample service without ruining their experience. We'll never return here - we paid $400 for 4 people to be treated as if we'd just rolled off the last cabbage truck. Ouch.

Pros: Oyster selection

Cons: Service, price for what you get
