Eating well in Bklyn has gotten considerably easier in the last years. Few establishments, however, have succeeded in the area of consistency and character. Too many have acquired a tired '90s' self-importance which is truly at odds with this more personable boro. Thomas Beisl may be the first to enter the ranks of the truly exceptional. Despite having opened only a few weeks ago, the owner/chef and the supporting staff are in command of a clear vision--a warm and accessible room with food that is both exquisite and familiar leaving one with the impression that Thomas Beisl is practising more than just a fine craft, but sharing the result of well considered years of experience. The most memorable restaurants, in my opinion, are those that engage you in a quiet way and bring you back again and again. I hope to return here many times.
Pros: food, service, ambiance
