Description
Located in the middle of Greenpoints nightlife row is this industrial-chic sibling (and neighbor) to pioneering bar Coco 66. The eclectic menu teeters between Latin American (yucca-encrusted scallops perched atop an herbaceous salsa verde) and gut-busting gastrogrub fare, like an oversalted sirloin steak with crispy fries. Although it still has some kinks to work out a glass of wine took more than a half hour to appearthe eatery righted its wrongs with free booze and sincere apologies. That, more than any stylish design, is truly sexy.

We had a flawless meal here. Brain-melting caramelized goat cheese croquettes on a balanced beet/blueberry salad. Sweet mussels in a tart sweet salsa sausage sauce. Fresh crisp tilapia on crushed avocado and spicy jalepeno compote. Braised lamb shank falling into saffron squash, sided by rich spinach. mmmmmmm. Even the staff was great!
Mirror image of Coco 66 next door, but less rowdy. Great for a meal in a pinch. It can get a little loud, though, if the music is going next door.
The steak au poivre that I had here was amaaaazing. It was so good; I don't think I've had better anywhere. Seriously. And it was only $12 (the priciest thing on the menu).
