Colonial Verde, my favorite restaurant in Fort Greene opened a restaurant in Manhattan! Food was delicious. I recommend the chicken, eggplant and cauliflower. Pão de queijo lamb sliders were delicious, but $22 is rather steep for what it is. The drinks are good. Not groundbreaking, but solid. Atmosphere is nice. I’m glad the music isn’t loud. You can even take your vegan friends here. The vegetable dishes are so good.

For the price that was paid, I feel like the breakfast I shared with my friend could’ve been WAY better. The service was impeccable and the restaurant looks gorgeous but the breakfast was basic as all get out and the price paid for everything was kind of ridiculous? It would be understandable if the food was *chefs kiss* amazing…but first I showed up hoping to get the carnitas chilaquiles which is on their menu online. They didn’t have this. I cried inside but okay, fine. Ordered instead an avocado toast and my friend ordered the breakfast tacos. Her tacos looked blandish without much decor and my avocado toast (comes with two slices…I ate one before the picture…at least it’s piled high with avocados) was also blandish…it was advertised as having chili oil which I didn’t taste at all in the dish. We also ordered on the side, an açaí bowl, potatoes and fruit bowl with a peach iced tea and OJ. Maybe their lunch and dinner is better? And I heard their chilaquiles has been moved to their weekend brunch menu if you really wanna try that. I won’t make an effort to visit for either of those meals. I normally try to sample a whole menu but I’m not inspired to do so here.

Really nice atmosphere, straight forward, somewhat dull food, not always executed well. I got steak tartare for appetizer, duck breast for entree, and their kumquat custard for dessert. The steak tartare was very good, although it was quite heavy on the stomach. The duck was probably the most dissapointing part - it was very tough, and pretty bland. The yucca it was served with was amazing, but I would have preferred more elements to spice up this dish. The dessert was good, although the kumquat syrup was a bit too sweet for my taste. All in all, I don’t think the food is at all worth the price, for a different vibe but similar (and in my opinion better) food, I would go to Coppelia over on 14th and 7th Ave.

Came for breakfast as they were just opening at 8am. Great environment. They had the bar open for all you mimosa and Bloody Mary lovers. I had the breakfast tacos which were absolutely the best and my girlfriend had the eggs with sourdough bread with avocado and potatoes. Which was amazing as well. Would recommend 100% for anyone looking for a great breakfast spot. Make sure to try the hot sauce. Our server Jorge was also fantastic!
