    The service and ambience was amazing. Very kind and sweet servers, chill vibe, good music. But the food was very underwhelming. Flatbread was overly wet from the ricotta, fried chicken was okay but under seasoned, and the dessert ( I got a 12 dollar custard) looked like it had been unwrapped and thrown on the plate. No garnish or attempt to make it more presentable. I would not go again.

    This was great place for a girls lunch. The restaurant is quiet ...as people were sitting outside. Our wait person was very attentive. Food was good.

    Buttermilk Channel is a serene spot in Brooklyn: sunlit, open, casually elegant... well sourced food. Highly recommend!

    Nous gardons le souvenir d'un excellent repas et d'une carte des vins remarquable. L'accueil était soigné et chaleureux. Nous avons apprécié le cadre et le calme (rare à NY!). Nous recommandons vivement!

    The food was mediocre- the flatbread had no flavour whatsoever, the popovers were too light/airy, the CHICKEN WAS DRY!!!!! The lasagne tasted like if they added a store bought red sauce. The only two things that were decent was mash potatoes and coleslaw. Still can’t get over how dry the chicken was. So disappointing. The waiters were really pleasant aand professional though.
