Fantastic addition to Greenpoint's Restaurant Row!
The River Barrel filled an important gap once Paloma burned down but there was nothing truly unique or special about it. Now that they've switched over from soups/salads/burgers to creatively and lovingly prepared Korean with enough fresh and fancy-pants accoutrements to sate my discerning and bourgeois palate--they have transcended (much like Paloma did and Paulie Gees already has). The burgers are still killer but the bulgogi and pork-bun have truly made the menu "special." The only reason why they don't have a higher review is because, well, they're not quite the creme de le creme of Northern Brooklyn dining. They provide, however, a fantastic meal in what used to be a culinary wasteland.
