Nested on Flatbush Avenue’s Prospect Heights and Park Slope divide, this family-owned restaurant serves a culturally rich, progressive and diverse community with New American fine dining without the fine dining fuss.

Comfort favorites like bar wings are upgraded to Sticky Wings with habanero ginger glaze, while bourbon syrup illuminates the Chicken & Waffle. A dedication to its seasonal menu is what separates competition furthest. Culinary innovation––curry goat ravioli to jerk fried oysters––pillars Chef Akins Amoroso’s menu year-round. The speakeasy-inspired décor softened by floral subtlety and Edison lighting creates a cozy atmosphere and rare intimacy between patron and staff at bar or in dining room. It is no surprise that elberta is a 2015 Bib Gourmand selection.
