RESTAURANT REVIEW
Walker Stern and Joseph Ogrodnek punch way over their weight at this sliver of a restaurant in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens. Dishes like their signature crisp kale salad with kohlrabi and brussels sprouts, veal sweetbreads à la meunière with carrots, maple and spiced yogurt, and short rib pastrami with fingerlings, braised cabbage and green apples are so good you could be eating in a place like Café Boulud. The one rap the place gets is about the physical plant: the tables are so close together you feel like you’re at a dinner party.
