About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Innovative
Hot spot

The Black Walnut Public House is a Boerum Hill gastropub with a convivial vibe that draws in neighbors and passersby for leisurely brunches, fireside drinks, the big game on a big screen, memorable dinners and private events. Chef-prepared creative bites like Nacho Arancini and Braised Short Rib Tacos share the menu with heartier fare like Drunken Mussels and our signature Black Walnut Burger, while the bar turns out expertly hand-crafted cocktails and a curated selection of local beer, cider and wine. Our stylish design exudes modern Brooklyn’s vibrant scene with a nod to the 19th century nautical rope factories that once characterized the neighborhood. An open flow and mix of hi-tops, comfy lounge seating, communal table, bar and a semi-private space for catered events lets you define your dining experience.

One of the more disappointing elements of Open Table is that when you are searching in an area you are not familiar with you can find the restaurant is actually a rather standard hotel restaurant. It isn't a bad hotel restaurant, but hotels are all pretty much the same.

We did not have a great experience. We were the only table in the entire restaurant for lunch. The waiter forgot about our food. Brought people the wrong dish. Generally it's not a good idea to just go around the table, putting plates in front of them without confirming it was theirs. He completely forgot that one of my colleagues ordered at all, and when she waa the only one without a meal at the table, he remembered and brought her an orange juice as an apology. He didn't ask her what she wanted, but brought her back a drink that she doesn't drink. So odd. The food was ok, but not worthy of the walk from the office. I could see needing to eat here because you are staying at the hotel, but not eating there if you have other options.

It was a great lunch. I had the Black Walnut cheese burger and the crispy smashed potato skim. The burger was so juice and in a pretzel bun. Food was delicious and the price is good. I recomend. The service was great. The food came really fast and the serve was really nice.
