Excellent experience....... – I haven't been here in a while and decided to try it again as I heard that there were new owners and the place was redone. We had a wonderful dining experience, great food, excellent wine, and good service. Everyone was very friendly and inviting, and it was very relaxing. Chef Vicino's food is excellent and we will be coming again and again.

Terrible Service – My husband and I used to like this restaraunt very much. The ambiance and the menu are quite nice. A few months ago, we went in for brunch and were not approached for about 20 minutes, and decided to leave and never to return. Against better judgement, we tried once more today. Although the food is "okay", the service is pretty much nonexistent. We walked in and one of the servers was on the phone at the front, not even taking a moment to acknowledge us standing there. We were then seated by someone else, ... read more

THE BURGERS ARE GREAT – WE ONLY WENT THERE ONCE. THE ZUCCHINE FLOWERS WERE EXCELLENT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO FOR BRUNCH. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD. THE SERVICE WAS VERY GOOD, NOT GREAT, BUT I HATE WHEN THEY STAND OVER YOU AND THEY GAVE US AMPLE TIME TO ENJOY OUR MEAL WITHOUT BOTHERING US. OVERALL, I WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK.

Take Out – Though a little pricey for take out, I was very happy with my order from 12th Street. The food took approximately 20 minutes to be prepared. We had the tuna steak sandwich, the crab cake appetizer and the endive/arugula salad. The tuna was delicious, as were the accompanying homemade potato chips. The crab cake was equally satisfying. As for the salad, it was fresh and good, but nothing too special. I'm looking forward to sitting down there soon, as the interior was very attractive.

A good spot for dinner – No need to be down on the 12th street. Just because the bar is so-so is no reason to get down on a very good restaurant. Get the mussels. They are very good. You'll have to get extra bread to sop up the sauce. The tuna steak sandwich is also very good. We've always had great servers and a great time. A very good place for a quiet dinner with someone you like.

Disappointing – We visited the 12th Street Grill during "Dine-In Brooklyn" week. Even the 19.55 prix fixe menu was appetizing. However, that is the end of the positives. It took an hour for our first course to arrive and the server blamed it on the kitchen. She probably forgot we were sitting there as she was extremely busy socializing with her coworkers. The meal itself was not very good, either. The swordfish was slimy and tasteless, the artichoke was bland and the strawberries had nearly gone bad. We expected during "Dine... read more

Obnoxious Patrons – I hate the bar half of this establishment. I live across the street from it. 12th Street attracts the most obnoxious frat trash. The staff certainly don't have much of a "good neighbor" policy in keeping the noise down or keeping drunk patrons from pissing on neighboring buildings. Even better, they've started having live music until about 1 a.m. every Tuesday! (The band is positioned in front of the windows, in a space roughly the size of a living room.)

Not recommended !! – This place has gone straight down hill. I went on a Tuesday night and have never had such poor service or been treated so badly in a place where I am spending my hard-earned money. I used to love this place but unless there are some serious changes I can't see myself ever returning.

BE WARNED !!! – Unless you enjoy paying for watered down, "over-priced for Brooklyn" swill served by openly apathetic and/or abusive, psycho-Nazi bartenders in a "dive" environment full of obvious losers then you should take your business elsewhere. There are far too many great places in Brooklyn to bother with this rathole. Simply put - IT SUCKS !!! First and last visit !
