They were Manilla clams so no big expectations, but the portion was also small. The Linguine with Manila Clams & Broccoli Rabe for $18 was not worth the money. Can I have my $4 back?Įntrees were boring. I only noticed when we were walking home and I was remarking on how expensive the meal was. Two crostinis with minuscule amounts of duck on top for $12 – or wait – I'm sorry, the bill came to $16 for those. Ordered the Duck Prosciutto Crostini and was very disappointed by the portion size. Bread with olive oil came out right away. We were immediately seated on a weekday night. We were also overcharged and left hungry. Great place in the neighborhood compared to Dumbo Kitchen, not sure about Superfine. Get their to-go coffee (although it's a bit if a wait) instead of that Starbucks down the street, please! I wouldn't mind trying their panino & soup Lunch Combo & apparently they carry Blue Sky Bakery muffins (carrot with flakes coconut in the middle). Both were def cream-heavy, but tasty & apparently made in-house as well. We ended the meal with a tiramisu (in a martini cup) & blueberry panna cotta (in a cup, blue-infused & some berries on top). I've tried co-worker's Beet & Goat Cheese Salad, Artichoke Tart, & Farro Salad with mint. It was a 6" block of finely milled corn flour (best I've had so far) layered with bits of cheddar, tomato, avocado, and eggs (requested over easy), & surrounded by a maot of sautéed spinach. Recently, had a Literally, 2hr lunch there. During a brunch meeting, I got the Breakfast Sandwich ($12- eggs were fluffy, the bacon was generously sized, the avocado & cheese on it was super fresh, & the brioche bun soft). The price point is very good for the portions and quality of ingredients. Once you get past that potential pretensioness, you realize that the employees are incredibly nice, there's 2 giant communal tables (which always seem to be filled by families or local companies meeting over lunch), and Most importantly- the food is Excellent! But inside, it's filled with rustic furniture, a carefully curated antique so Brooklyn finds. Coworkers rave about their coffee ($1.75 strong & fresh, I've decided) & food.ĪlMar's located in a block of hip DUMBO of shiny storefront corporate windows. The dishes sound good, but come up short of anything very tasty, fresh, and overpriced. I'm usually not a fan or skeptical of "New American" local rustic organic places.
