Stopped by and had dinner there the other night. The menu was simple, but had some pretty interesting combinations. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. I mean DELICIOUS. They have a great wine selection and the wait staff was attentive, but laid back and conversational. I liked how they let me try a couple different wines before deciding on one. I recommend this place either just for wine or for a nice dinner. Great date spot too.

I was so excited to try Thirstbaravin after reading the other reviews on this site. It truly did not disappoint. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere warm. The friendly and attentive staff even put a birthday candle (sans hokey birthday singing) in my dessert after overhearing my friend say something to me about it being my birthday at the beginning of our meal. The menu changes (they focus on locally grown ingredients), but if they are on the menu when you go, the lamb prosciutto with pickled ramps, and the scape pesto with fresh ricotta tartine were beyond delicious. The restaurant's blog, which is linked on menupages, lists previous weeks' menus so that you can get a better sense of the kinds of deliciousness they serve. Definitely check this place out. It isn't the most convenient to get to, but it is well worth the trip.

Indeed, this place is a little out of the way, but the food is truly amazing. The ingredients down to the olive oil are of the highest quality. Preparation is simple and delicious. Of course this is a wine bar though... the wine is very very good.. they support all natural winemaking, no gimmicks, just great growers and expressive and vibrant wines.

This restaurant--though in a somewhat desolate location--is absolutely terrific. Well prepared, sophisticated food, great wine list, stylish decor, and super nice owners. If you live in Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Clinton Hill, For Greene or Bed Stuy--do yourself a favor and check it out.
