Review from Leah P.

I adore Eat: the thoughtfully-prepared, simple yet delicious food; the french-press coffee; the staff and clientele; the music; the handmade ceramics and furniture.
It's inspiring to see such a thoughtful, earnest, and tasteful execution of a locally-sourced/grassroots/D.I.Y. restaurant--and it somehow steers completely clear of the granola-ey clichés those words usually bring to mind.
It's true, the prices are perhaps higher than what we're used to paying for the amount of food you get, but I trust that it's because everyone along the line (from farmers to transporters to cooks to whoever is making those amazing benches and ceramics) is being fairly compensated for their work. Isn't that worth paying a little more for? Maybe we need to adjust our idea of what ethically produced food costs. (ex. 29-cents-per-pound for bananas flown in from South America--really?)
Anyway, I digress. Bottom line: this place makes me happy to be alive. -

Very sweet place, lovely people working here too - but the food was boringly disappointing.
I like the idea of all local sourced cuisine, I just don't think that has too put you in a flavorless prison that our overpriced, lovely looking frittata was clearly inhabiting.
How can this be just one $, there is no way to eat a meal here for less then $10 unless you call two $5 biscuits a meal. -

I love places where you only have a few choices because a) it usually means the food is fresh, well-prepared, and truly cared about and b) because there is no real reason for menus to be the size of the Oxford Old English Dictionary (unabridged). I would much prefer a chef focus on a handful of dishes and really make sure the ingredients shine--and not in loads of nasty oil or heaping spoonfuls of spices that eclipse the taste of each vegetable. Eat had five choices the early evening I went (they were switching to the dinner menu just after I finished), and it was still a challenge to decide whether to go with a good old (but new for me here!) standby and love, Butternut Squash Soup, or this fabulous sounding Potato Dumpling soup, which came in a lemongrass-flavored broth with vegetables. Fortunately, my partner ordered the former and I ordered the latter, and thus I was lucky enough to try both; and lucky I was include. The food at Eat--as well as the service--was warming and lovely. I am looking forward to going back and seeing what the rotating menu has in store.
What I truly love about this place, aside from its sparse yet gorgeous decor (I love when wood isn't over treated, and you can see all of the nuances of the rings), wonderful dishes, and stellar menu, is that you are not rushed at all. When I go out for a meal, I enjoy a nice conversation, and simply loathe when the soup/salad/appetizer/meal are brought out of the kitchen too quickly, leaving little time for me to enjoy each without one getting cold, the table being needlessly cluttered, and me becoming anxious that this is some sort of silent signal to wolf it all down so they can get another customer rolling in. I really liked that when I asked for the check, the server said she was giving us time for conversation, and asked us to please take our time. The last time that happened to me, I was not in America. -

My rebuttal to certain reviews previous to mine is: simple, unadulterated, ingredients do not equal simple food and slow service is not bad service. The fact that I could taste the FOOD and not the sodium/spice content was a relief. That the staff was not jumping all over every bite I took and allowed me to enjoy my meal and company while they were graciously preparing my following course was also refreshing. Precious treasures like this in Greenpoint are what make this city redeemable. We should support our local businesses/farms and band around businesses like Eat. Building community through the joy of local food is part of the vision of sustainable living and that socially conscious action deserves respect.
This place serves whole, fresh, local foods in a mindful and creative way with friendly staff and at a decent price. Seasonal prix fixe menu was delightful and well executed. Bottom-line I thoroughly enjoyed myself at Eat and will return regularly. -

We were happily satisfied. That is no small task. A mommy, a daddy an uncle and 2 toddlers all loved our lunch and there was not a spot leftover. Everything that touched our lips was full of fresh flavor.
We didn't even get to pick off a menu. It's just this is what you will eat. At EAT. Go figure.
The portions aren't typical American fat faced size. And yet, we had enough to eat. At EAT. Go figure. -

For such a inspired space and culinary direction, Eat seems to produce an insipid, unseasoned, poorly executed mulch of cuisine.
The chef, I would assume, does not taste the food before serving. The appetizer was worse than home-made and utterly flavorless, the entree stew was under-seasoned and the desert was clearly spoiled.
In short: concept outweighs execution. -

Love the concept of a very small menu. We had an egg salad sandwich with aioli and escarole, and a veggie frittata with roasted parsnips and turnips. The cold drink option was a rhubarb iced tea (sour and unusual), and we got some sage and nettles tea (nice change).
I think it really just matters if you're in the mood for what's on the menu that day. If I lived in the neighborhood I would walk by the chalkboard and see, but it's more challenging to make the trip only to find you're not in the mood for what they've got. Great service and lovely, minimalist space. -

I love this this place. The food is fresh and amazing. There is really nothing to write here that wasn't explained in ny magazine: http://nymag.com/listi...
The only thing I can add is don't expect a big menu with lots of selection. The food is all seasonal, so you'll basically have only 2 or 3 choices. But trust me, that's a good thing! It's all you need. -

I've been to many organic and locally sourced restaurants, but this one definitely stands out. The food tastes very fresh and very clean.
I was here for brunch and there were only two things on the menu that were meal sized (potato salad and white bean dish). I'm not the biggest bean fan, but I gotta say, their white bean dish was delicious! I don't know how often they buy their produce, but their food tasted like it was just fresh off the farm from that day! I also had their juice which was wonderful too.
The ambiance is very nice. I walk in and I see three big handmade tables. Their cups are handmade and instead of paper napkins, they use cloth napkins. The owner took our order and then went to the kitchen in the back to prepare our food. I felt like I was going to someone's home for a relaxing meal. The kitchen looks like a kitchen in someone's home and the food was very fresh and very clean tasting.
The menu isn't online because it changes daily depending on what is in season in the market. The daily menu is written on a chalkboard in the back near the kitchen and is mostly vegetarian.
This is the first time I've eaten here and I'm definitely coming back. I see that they now have multi course dinner meals so I will definitely come back for that!
Highly Recommended - extremely fresh ingredients and very creative and wonderful dishes. -

Not your typical restaurant, feels like more of an awesome experiment of how to prepare and serve actually sustainable food. Which, by the way, tastes delicious. I'd been here about a year ago when there was a menu, coffee and some records, and before that when there were even more records and a little backyard, but it seems like this place is constantly evolving -- and that's a good thing! When I had lunch there yesterday, it was a set meal for $15, which included a delicious soup and an entree of spelt gnocchi with shitakes, incredible spinach, and some kind of shallot-based broth.
You can go to a million other places for eggs and coffee and bacon, but come here for thoughtfully prepared, local vegetarian food that will blow your mind, in a subtle, simple way. -

I have been to eat many times in the past 4 years or so, and have witnessed its evolution. I hadn't been in a while and forgot just how good it was.
They are now serving a unique multi course dinner meal each night they are open that is sourced locally. I think the price varies based on courses and ingredients. Lunch still has a menu you can choose different items off of Tues-Sun.
Each course in our dinner was delicious and fresh. It was so nice to have such an incredibly delicious meal that didnt also make me feel like I was doing something awful to my body. Started with a fresh Kale and aged goat cheese salad, and then homemade whole wheat pasta with all kinds of things I am forgetting now. A delicious Garlic and greens soup. and Maple Pecan cookies with Apple and Raw cows milk cheese for desert. I honestly could not find a flaw in anything. -

Review from Kelly B.
Culver City, CA
Few restaurants in New York who tout the localvore heritage actually look, taste, and feel the part... more often their "commitment to farm-to-table" or "sustaining self-reliant food economies" and other modern hippy jargon are practiced only behind the kitchen door. But at Eat, when you look down unto the tomato pulp covered hands of the chef or over towards his well worn bike, you can feel the sweat of the ride to the local Greenmarket through which he brings you the sunshine and soil of "food is purchased directly from organic farmers in the northeast region."
There is no host, no waiter, and no corkage!!! The laid back atmosphere feels like an intimate supper club (al la super early loft bound MonekyTown) as you seat yourself at one of the few mid century-esq wooden tables flanked with matching benches.
We began with a modest and earthy Seasoned Soup ($5) http://www.yelp.com/bi.... The mild warm broth swims with firm chunky carrots, sunchokes, turnips and parsley roots dug up from the fertile floral grounds of the Northeast. The soup is juxtaposed with cool juicy sunflower sprouts that crown the bowl with the hope of spring.
The paper thin slices of root vegetables in the Radish and Turnip salad ($5) http://www.yelp.com/bi... are as clean and crisp as a tall glass of ice water. This is a salad that could only succeed at a restaurant, like Eat, that uses "truly organic vegetables consumed within a day or two of harvesting."
We consumed the entire menu offering of the evening! One of each dish (well, we each had out own soup) easily fed four adults for a shockingly affordable $55 (including tip!). Although Eat is not exclusively vegetarian, they are adventitiously demonstrating that the best of the best of local ingredients are vegetable, legumes and grains... but we all already knew that, didn't we...Listed in: Photographique

These guys are really great and they serve delicious dishes. I started coming to Eat in the Summer, but lately, I've been going about once a week. My love for their style of cooking has influenced my own cooking at home. The dumplings are amazing and they inspired me to begin making dough at home. Today, I had the black bean polenta with roasted sunchokes, sqash and arugula. The entre costs $8 and is usually the perfect amount of food. If I'm really hungry, I'll go for the combo which adds soup and their homemade bread. I always feel amazing after having eaten at Eat. The ingredients are vegetarian, often vegan, organic and local. You can taste the love.
The aesthetic is really minimal, very wood and natural and I totally dig this too. The tables are long and communal. You serve your own water and can grab a salt pinch and some chili oil to add to your dish.
I live nearby and this is by far my favorite neighborhood restaurant... of all time. -

Love the interior with the beautiful hand-made wood tables. This spot is filled with handmade goods as the owner and his brother are all makers - of ceramics, woodwork, and of course food.
Today's menu had 4 items: yogurt and peach, potatoes and egg, something else that I can't remember and the dish I ordered which was "cold noodles with warm greens". The description wasn't too exciting but the dish was fantastic. The noodles were handmade and perfectly chewy and also warm, not cold. The beet greens were so tasty and flavorful. It came in a handmade ceramic bowl. Yum! -

I went here for dinner imagining some kind of hearty, healthy peasant type meal, but for some reason ended up paying $12 for a bitter, extremely unfilling spelt salad. Maybe the season wasn't quite right, but the locally sourced, farm fresh vegetables were nothing special. My companion got some pasta, which tasted remarkably similar to the spelt salad. I definitely left wanting a hamburger.
Afterwords, I felt like a jerk for eating at a place like this- you know, one of those gently themed, clearly designer-designed, expensive yuppie places that are all over Brooklyn and Manhattan and have names like "Eat" and "Egg" and never live up to their hype/subway tiles. -

I kept hearing people talk about this restaurant so decided to give it a go. It is a very eccentric little place with it's ever-changing daily menu all made from local, sustainable and organic foods at good prices.
On my last visit they had a pretty tasty pasta dish with stinging nettles. It was a nice change-up from my usual bacon and cheese lovefest.
I really want to try this place out for brunch.
Oh yeah, it's BYOB. -
Review from L H.

When I first went to Eat, I was wary - as all of the ingredients (except for the salt, which comes from Maine) comes from the farmer's market, I didn't think it would appeal to someone who loves meat and recipes with vast ingredient lists. Also, it's early April - not exactly the most stellar vegetable month on the local agricultural scene (at least, to my ignorant self) - so I thought maybe I'd do better to go in May or June.
Clearly I was wrong. The chef, Brent, had created two meals - a polenta dish, and potato & greens tacos (I know I'm butchering the actual ingredients). I opted for the tacos because I've never had polenta that I liked. Both dishes were fantastic, though - I tried my friend's polenta dish and it was crispy! seasoned! yes! As for my own tacos, delicious. It was a struggle to make it through the entire dish because of the portion size (you don't realize how much it fills you up), but I never shy away from a challenge.
What really put the night for me over the top was the experience: I don't know how the chef does it, but he's also the waiter and the host. It's a really friendly environment, and our table was not rushed - we sat there for two hours, making our way through the food and the wine (BYOB). People came in, knew each other, or met each other. It was great. The fact that the creations are by the chef and depend on what's at the market, as opposed to a set lengthy menu, contribute to the atmosphere of being at a friend's open kitchen. Yes, I'm going back. -

I had been lamenting the fact that good coffee was a fair hike away from the office at which I work.
Thanks, yelp, for bringing me to Eat Records! I never would've known about it. It's very unassuming from across the street.
The espresso is very nutty, which I enjoyed. The place is cute, and I would've been happy to browse the vinyl, had there been a line at the counter. The girl helping me was also very nice.
It's also across the street from the Fred Flare shop that opened a few weeks ago. -

I had a cappucino and muffin which came about to 6 dollars.
Its a great place to have coffee and read because its not packed like the cafes on bedford ave. The cappucino was good, and I took my friend there too and she liked the atmosphere. its a cute, laid back cafe you can go on regularly wihtout feeling self conscious. Definitely one of the good cafes in greenpoint. I will go back. -

Awesome and unique concept.
Records and great americanos. Two of my favorite things....
Their espresso is really good. And their menu looks delicious. I wasn't really hungry when I went, but I definitely need to go back. All their food is local and organic and seems to change a lot. Always a plus.
They also have table service for the majority of the day, which is also very nice.
The records playing over the loud speakers added to the lovely ambiance. I love the sound of old records.
They have a small, but nice collection of records for sale and you can also play them there if you like.
There are little wooden tables and the lights are made from sifters. Super cute.
Its a pretty small place, so it's hard to get away from other patrons who are talking loudly on their cell phone for an hour straight forcing you to leave and make way to the next cafe to try and read your book...... -

Ate here for the first time yesterday and loved it. You walk up to the front and ask what's for lunch. It's just one dude cooking in a home kitchen and then pouring you tea, so I'm going to warn you that you need to chill out. Don't come here when you're in a rush. We had tea, fried wild rice mixed with mustard greens and other veggies (there was only one thing for lunch) and then toast with honey. The food was absolutely delicious and the vibe was relaxing. However, do not come here if you like noise, options, or meat.

This restaurant is so delicious and you feel great after eating their dinners. Such a treat. They bring out the best flavors from the ingredients. Slow food done very well.
BYOB with a $5 corkage fee, which is a bit annoying but still way cheaper than buying a bottle at a restaurant.
I do miss the a la carte menu, but the $15 prix fixe is a healthy portion and nice variety. $15 tonight included a salad, soup, bread, and entree. Creative and delicious.
Also, I wish they played music more consistently. -

I used to go here quite a lot when Eat Records was more of a stop-in coffee shop joint. Now that I've moved a little farther away, I stopped in for breakfast the other day and I can't say I'm a huge fan of their shift towards a more of a restaurant set-up.
I'm a little worried that they'll abolish their walk-through-the-kitchen backyard seating this summer as things always were a little makeshift out there and they seem to be trying to formalize themselves somewhat. I loved sitting in the shade under that wild tree with a book, waiting for my laundry to finish. My hesitations/probably unwarranted anxieties aside, they serve the best cup of coffee along this particular stretch of Manhattan Ave.... (actually, sike, Peter Pan has better coffee). -

They don't call it Eat Records anymore, when I was there it was just EAT. It was a complete cafe, a few records around here and there (perhaps to save a little part of what used to be?.)
Anyway I was here for a brunch that Fred Flare had held a few months ago. I loved the space, loved the food. I had an egg salad sandwich which tasted delightful.
I've been a few times after that. It's fresh food at decent prices.Listed in: Best Eats....

This place is fabulous. Straight up fresh farm food is what I call it, made into delicious concoctions. I've had so many different things from here beyond just the coffee - soups, sandwiches, frittatas, crepes, muffins...it's ALL very tasty and I have liked just about everything I've eaten here. Just the combinations that are made make it so hard to choose from the frequently changing menu.
The people that work here are extremely nice and friendly. I have never eaten outside in the back, but it looks really cute. I probably missed my chance since it's cooler out now. When I went yesterday, there seemed to have been work done on it, as it felt a bit more spacious.
The record store portion is cool too, I just never browse it.
Overall, it's a nice cozy addition to Greenpoint, and a place you should definitely eat at if you are in the neighborhood. Prices are reasonable, not super cheap, but worth it. I wish I could go there more often, but it's now a bit out of my way and I cannot visit at much as I'd like. -

I doubt that any professed locavore restaurant in Brooklyn is as dedicated to using local ingredients as Eat. Before we ordered, the chef explained that they don't use many common ingredients, like olive oil and black pepper. But the soup tasted perfectly peppery to me. A meal with bread, soup, and an entree costs $12, and it's utterly without pretense. We felt mostly full after a course of the root vegetable soup, but made a valiant effort at the entrees- a spelt dish and beet pasta. While it may not sound great, everything was very tasty. The beet pasta was a little low on salt, but they provided it on the tables (we had fun trying to guess where the salt was harvested). I didn't really enjoy the very whole-grainy sort of bread (it may have been wheat-free), but everything else was amazingly tasty and nourishing. We were shocked at how little food it took to make us feel full. The carnivorous hubs rhapsodized about how the soup tasted like the one his grandfather used to make from the vegetables in his garden. I stuffed myself and yet I could only eat about half of my entree. A trip to the miniscule restroom confirmed that they make their own soap.
Yes, this kind of dining isn't for everyone. The food will likely be very different from what you're used to. There are only a couple of choices on the menu, and it's entirely based on what's coming out of the ground at the moment, but if you're a vegetable-lover or merely veg-curious, I'm willing to bet you'll enjoy it. -

they are always playing funky music and the backyard is very cute for springtime and summer days.

what cool quirky little place! plopped randomly in greenpoint, a bare, earthy and clean restraurant sits. with a big scripty "eat" in the front. the menu is very small, and you can basically only get water or lemon tea to drink.
it was empty on a friday night which was sad, but it was a really cool experience. the vegetarian food was realllllly fresh and delicious.
its fun that you have to go to the window to order the food and then pick up your napkin/sillverware. it was a very fun homey experience.
the vibe is totally awesome, and i love that the owners take pride in getting local ingredients themselves at the green markets and changing the menu based on what they found. SO COOL.
anyway. this place is cool as hell. very DIY and yummy...and very cool eating experience! -

I miss the old eat records of yore. You used to be able to get a ham, egg and cheese bagel for $4 or peanut butter/bananas on toast for about the same. We would go every weekend as it was a great deal and great food. Cut to one day we walk in and there are no more menus, just kraft paper on the wall with a more expensive menu with smaller portions.
I wouldn't have minded paying more for the old menu, it was disappointing to go back after a week and see all of the old favorites purged.
I haven't been in a long time as that was very off putting, I will give them another shot when the weather is warm. -

I came here a few times over the winter to have their coffee. Never thought their coffee was amazing, considering Cafe Grumpy is near by as well and is amazing. But me and my boyfriend came in for a Sunday brunch. We ordered the strawberry pancakes with rhubarb compote, AMAZING. Perfect balance of sweet, and tart. I ordered Scrambled Eggs with mustard greens, bacon, and feta. Really simple but very tasty! The garden in the back is also really lovely :) 2 long banquet style tables sat communally under lovely trees and flowers. I will go back. Only thing was the portions weren't that big and the prices weren't that cheap. hehe but I suppose its better for all of us if the portions are a tad bit smaller then we are used to :) Overall very pleased and a really nice breaky

A pretty cool record store, albiet with somewhat uninformative staff (but it's deliberate), you can find what you want usually so long as you don't mind sifting through the record bins for hours to find it. As for the cafe, it used to be generic tasting coffee brewed in a beat up old plastic pitcher and served in a paper cup, but now its a real brewing system and served in mud coffee cups, implying that its mud coffee, but I still wouldn't say that with certainty, the food comes out of a somewhat dodgy looking kitchen but is served on white porcelin plates with a garnish of fresh fruit, furthermore it is always delicious and reasonably priced ($5-7 for a sandwich). If what I have described sounds like your thing, then you will love this place, if its not you will hate it, unless your girlfriend is a record rat don't take her here, not even for brunch, this is a pretty unromantic place.
