This seems to be the typical issue with the neighborhood restaurants and bars.....horrid service with good food. Why can't the service set it up a notch? I ate brunch here on Sunday with my boyfriend and 2 other friends. Our waitress seemed distracted which we are use...d to but the manager was horrid! We asked him a simple question and he walked away saying he didn't have time for us because he had other clients. We don't care - take care of the business you already have. I really liked the food, which is a shame because we won't be back. Read More

all i have to say is frozen irene!! its like a mojito only yummier and frozen... sipping these in the backyard on a summer night.... perfection. but really they have the best cocktails with real fruit and fresh squeezed juices. and they are open late night for drink...ing!! as for food- the brie with salad and cranberry is delicious and the WINGS are incredible. Maybe the best restaurant bar in the hood! Read More

I stopped in for brunch around Memorial Day. They weren't too busy, maybe two tables being occupied. Since I was alone I decided to sit at the bar, it took the bartender about 10 minute to even acknowledge me, she was to busy talking to who I can only assume was the ma...nager counting receipts. She finally hands me a menu, and proceeds to disappear for about 15 minutes, mind you, I was the only one at the bar. When I finally placed my order she appeared more interested in talking to her co-worker than placing my ordered. which she got wrong. The wait staff seems so indifferent, like I spoiled their morning by showing up. BTW the food was good. Read More

NICE, COOL PLACE FOR DRINKS AND FOOD. MY FRIEND AND I WENT HERE SATURDAY NIGHT FOR SOME PRE DRINKING AND EATS AND ENDED UP STAYING MUCH LONGER THAN WE EXPECTED. THE DRINKS ARE HELLA GOOD AND SO WAS THE FOOD. THE CALAMARI WE ORDERED WAS NOT SO GREAT BUT OUR WAITRESS WAS ...COOL ABOUT IT AND SUGGESTED SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE MIGHT LIKE. TRY THE BRIE DUDE!!!! WE WERE GOOD AND BUZZED WHEN WE LEFT LOLL. THE STAFF IS COOL AND CUTE, WITHOUT THE HIPSTER ATTITUDE WE FIND AT SO MANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD PLACES. I WILL GO HERE AGAIN AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO AS WELL.

HORRID. I've lived in NYC for 15 years, and my boyfriend and I don't cook. That adds up to a lot of meals eaten in restaurants. Maggie Brown makes my Top Five List for Worst Dining Experiences Ever. Possibly THE worst service in town. Not only is the staff clueless..., they're rude, cold, and they simply do not care. In fact, I would qualify them as singularly despicable. And this was on a slow winter weeknight when there were more employees than customers on hand. So no, they were not busy or overworked. Food is OK. Better food abounds in Brooklyn. And there's simply no need to endure an awful dining experience for mediocre food when you can get better food PLUS service almost anywhere. When our party of three left, we couldn't fathom how this rock-bottom place is in business. Read More

I blame the waitstaff. We arrive at 7pm on a Sat night. While I am writing this it is 9:01pm on the same day, which goes to show you exactly how little time we spent there. Although a woman, a tall woman with blonde dyed hair and rude from the moment we entered,... is reluctant to seat us in a booth because we're only two, we are taken over to our seat an welcomed by another waitress who takes our order. Our drinks take forever to come, the wait for our food about 40 mins. Unable to finish, we ask for our food to be wrapped. Our server drops the bill and we pay. Although aware that this is a Saturday night and our time there nearly finished, we are herded out by our waitress who does everything shy of taking the wine glasses out of our hands in order to get us to leave. I'm a server in a wonderful Manhattan restaurant and none of us would ever THINK of doing the following: " I ask my mother while putting on my coat why everyone is rushing us out of the restaurant. Apparently the blonde is listening and walks by me with an attitude of a bratty teenager and comments, "because it's busy." Following behind her, our server busses our table around us preparing it for the next patrons. Appalingly, she picks up my opened half-eaten chocolate and throws it back down with an apology as if it's even remotely sanitary to give it back to me to by put back into my mouth. I'm not sure which member of the management thought it appropriate to give either of them a job with that kind of training. I'm really disappointed, I bring alot of people into Maggie Brown. I love love love the brunch and sing this restaurant's praises among my friends. This was my mom's first night in BK, I brought her straight there. None of us will ever go back. I blame it on the waitstaff. Read More
