Okay, that's a little harsh, but the atmosphere really did remind me of any chain like that. We stopped here on our way to the movies, and it was actually a pleasant surprise. Nothing extraordinary; just solid, traditional food. If you're in the mood for that, it's a good option.

12th Street Bar & Grill is on 8th Avenue, apart from the hustle and bustle of 7th and 5th avenues, so it unfortunately doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves. But it's so much better than most of the highly rated restaurants on 7th and 5th. AMAZING food you HAVE to try the mussels in a curry cream sauce (unbelievable!). The service was fantastic very attentive, friendly and informative about the menu and they played great music the whole time we were there. The prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of the food. Besides the mussels, the hanger steak and the pork are also excellent. I highly recommend going here for any occasion; it would be perfect for a romantic date. Definitely check this place out.I promise you will not be disappointed.

Went for brunch this morning and it was just kinda meh. Wish we had just gone to Applewood like we usually do. The Bloody Mary was nasty. No flavor. Served in a tiny glass. Got the Eggs In Purgatory. Bread was soggy. The flavors were ok but just kind of a gross texture. Probably would have been better if they had served it on a crunchy bread or maybe added all of the eggs and sauces just before service. Oh well. Back to Applewood we go. Overall it wasn't the worst thing I've ever had but with so many other incredible options in the Slope, odds are we won't be going back.

Our server was a bit weird at the beginning but seemed to warm up to us a bit. I chose the restaurant for the prices and was very pleasantly surprised to find the food quality and preparation to be excellent. I live in Manhattan but if I lived in Park Slope, I'd be a regular at 12th Street B & G.

I have no idea what anna is complaining about - if there's a better brunch in the area, I'd love to hear about it, but I'd put this well above Applewood's in terms of service, ambience and reliably delicious food. The french toast is some of the best I've ever had - it barely needs maple syrup - and the bread basket inclines more toward fresh banana bread than the standard roll or muffin. The waitstaff are as professional as you could ask for. And I adore the space: huge windows overlooking the street and sky-high ceilings keep it bright, but white linens and drapes keep it quiet and sophisticated. I love this place.

we went for brunch, and the waiter was clueless about how things were prepared, and if accompanying sauces were spicy or not. i swapped my dish with a friend, as i'd found it unappetizing and very small for a prix fixe brunch, and the dish that i did get was ok, but just that. i find it overpriced and uninteresting for food. there are such better places (both more and less expensive) in the slope for food!

I think this restaurant is great all around! The food is consistently good and so is the service. Their breakfast and wonderful and dinner is as all well. Definitely a perfect place to take guests, friends, for a date, etc. Just really good food, in a nice atmosphere!
