Dinner recommendations

Alternatively you could see if the new Watty & Meg place (formerly Caffe Carcioffo) is open at the corner of Court & Kane streets, which'd put you right down the block (across Court) from the theater.

Scottish food, maybe?

More on the subject

Other reports in early April had suggested a late-April open, so who knows...


***edited to add:

Oh, duh. You said Court Street UA, not the old Cobble Hill Cinemas on Court Street. Oops.

In that case ignore the above and you could always just go to Pete's Waterfront Ale House for something casual and pubby.

Heck, he'll be there with a tray strapped to his back, serving drinks.

I wish. Hee.

(see edit to my prior post above , forgive my afternoon haze).

I have never been (so don't blame me if it sucks) but I hear very good things about Queen which is not far from the cinema (Italian food at a generic looking retaurant). The reviews on Yelp are mixed:

If you want to venture to Smith Street (it's a nice night for a walk):

1. The Jakewalk - casual; good for wines by the glass and cheese/charcuterie plates;
2. Robin Des Bois - casual; limited menu but the tiny bar is fun and the place has great atmosphere most nights; they also have a beautiful backyard (take a peek even if you're not going to eat out there);
3. Pacifico - greasy, not-good Mexican food, but good, strong margaritas;
4. The Grocery - the best restaurant on Smith and one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn (upscale);

For a hoot, you can go to Marco Polo - only order the FRESH PASTA dishes (ask which ones are fresh tonight); this is old school Italian and you will be spoiled by both Michael (the manager) and the bartender. If you're lucky, there will be a piano player playing.

If you want to take a cab, I highly recommend The Good Fork on Van Brunt in Red Hook.

Have fun!

waterfront ale house. hands down the best food on that strip of atlantic.
waterfalls if you have a hankering for middle eastern.
enjoy!

Is Waterfront Ale House connected to the one in Murray Hill? If so, its ok, but more notable for beer selection than food.

Saul is fantastic, but probably a bit too pricey for a casual Friday night date. Went on my bbday and the lamb four ways special (chop, saddle, breast, sausage) is one of my favorite dishes anywhere in NYC. Also went to Clover Club that night, amazing cocktails, really fun place.

Waterfront Ale House has the same ownership as the one in the City and I agree that their beer selection is the best thing they have going. The food is better than average bar food.

Carni, curious if you have ever been to Henry's End for the game menu? BBQ rattlesnake salad? Fillet of kangaroo? I've been a couple times and the elk chops are delicious.

Not yet, but I definitely want to try it.

I second Bar Tabac - great burgers and they sometimes have live (acoustic) music (usually a jazz trio or a couple of flamenco guitar players).

Steer clear of any restaurant on Montague Street. I've had more than one friend get sick from eating at restaurants there.

Have fun and let us know where you end up and what you thought!

If you want a quick bite then go to Waterfront. It close and casual.

Oh, the boy is worthy. He able to put up with her right? :P :P

I also love the Waterfront
There is also Queen Italian Restaurant on Court and Livingston.

Where did you go and what did you think?

Wow, that must have been some movie! ;-)
