We expected to wait when we got there and the hostess told us it would be forty minutes to an hour. We put our name down and left. Happy to wait, we checked back in after not hearing anything for an hour and ten minutes. When we arrived the hostess said it would be just a few more minutes.

When we finally sat down no one was apologetic, but instead talked about us behind our backs. Arguably the most bizarre occurrence was as we walked away we received the most sarcastic “thanks for coming by” when we were 50 ft away from the restaurant.

Avoid this place, there are better restaurants in Brooklyn that are better staffed and have better food.

I have tried multiple burger places, including Peter Luger, Gramercy Tavern, Emily… Nothing can compete against Red Hook Tavern!
