Saul

Sited in the Brooklyn Museum but "much more than a museum restaurant", Saul Bolton's eponymous New American furnishes "creative" cooking backed by "warm" service; despite debate over the decor ("art-worthy" vs. "sterile"), it's a "nice splurge", with an informal sidekick, The Counter, offering cafe-style lunches and brunches.

Considering they only carry one Rose and 7 white wines by glass, this should not happen. It should also not happen in a restaurant of Saul's caliber. I ordered a la carte, not the restaurant week prix fixed menu. The charred octopus...

One doesn't expect refined food from a restaurant in a museum. Yet Saul is a place with beautiful food and beautiful plates. The service was pleasant and attentive. The quality of ingredients was very high and interesting combinations of those ingredients.
