Best Casual Restaurants in Brooklyn

Lovely evening, delicious food, overpriced (like all Atlas restaurants), but that was something we knew ahead of time! We were willing to spurge. BUT the live musician (a guy with his acoustic guitar) was truly terrible. Too loud, to start with, but worse, he could not sing!! His guitar work was quite competent and if he’d left it there, we could hav Randle’s the volume. But his voice is unpleasant and he managed to make every song (blues, rock, jazz, etc) sound exactly the same. It was painful to hear some favorites distorted. We were relieved when he took a break and they put on perfectly pleasant recorded background music at a reasonable volume.

I really enjoyed date night here! Whoever they have playing the piano and singing on Friday nights is amazing. It really set the tone, and the service is top notch. I will definitely be back!

First time at this establishment and was very pleased. Small restaurant with a nice vibe and friendly staff. For those that care the music selection was on point, a jazzy club vibe. Wait staff was very attentive, drinks were good and the food was plentiful and good. I would definitely go again to see if my first time was a fluke or if this is really a hidden gem.

Drinks and food were all delicious - we really enjoyed the available specials, and the oyster selection was quite nice. Service was attentive, prompt, and great overall. We'll definitely be back.

The food was absolutely amazing. We started with oysters, which were fresh and flavorful, and followed with a hearty bowl of seafood gumbo that was perfectly seasoned. For entrées, we tried the chicken mushroom linguine and the salmon—both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Our waiter was attentive and honest, even mentioning that the bar service was a bit slow that evening. To make up for it, they graciously offered us a complimentary dessert. While the gesture was unnecessary, it was certainly appreciated and capped off an already stellar meal. The combination of exceptional food and thoughtful service made this an unforgettable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!
