L'Antagoniste

We've lived in this area for a minute and finally decided to have brunch here. We arrived around 1:30 and were seated right away. Let's get into it!Service was attentive and quick. Two people held down the entire restaurant. Seating, serving and bussing tables were all done by them. Ambiance felt comfortable and laid back and the 2nd most important thing outside of the food are the gender neutral bathrooms which were clean and well lit!The food was delicious and filling and the weird things that stood out to me was the fresh squeezed OJ and the side salad which was so nicely seasoned and the OJ was bangin!We definitely will be back. Go here!!

I thought I reviewed this place back in 2018, but think my review disappeared.Anyways, as mentioned, came here back in 2018 for dinner and never went back.I can't remember why, except the fact I wasn't blown away by the food.I came back here because it was easy to get to without worrying about everything else, so decided to book a resy for brunch.Got the following items:Croissant - goodSteak Tartare - I wish they had more of kick in here. I added loads of pepper, but I appreciate it was chopped and not ground, because I hate ground.Steak Frites - goodOyster - goodLobster roll - good ratio, it could have been reworked a bit and didn't really care for their take on this east coast classic. I added pepper in this too.I didn't even realize they had a cellar back in 2018, but we sat there and it was a bit cramp, but better than nothing.Service was good.

The things I miss most about Brooklyn are the local restaurants that you can walk to. We were invited to this establishment by a great friend of mine. Now I see why she chose this place. The ambiance is intimate also not for the little ones for no kid's meals on the menu.Non the less we chose the burger for our boys it was a big-size burger that they split with some fries. I indulge in one, very huge but very tasty. The fries were well prepared and seasoned. My wife had the poulet aux morilles which is a chicken dish. By now you should know that she is a picky eater. But she enjoyed her meal so I know this place is it. My friend had a special mushroom meal that the chef prepared for her. They need to add it to the menu. I can honestly say this place has it from service to the food it is a must. Bedford Stuyvesant has come a long way. Kudos to this establishment for representing fine cuisine and amazing hospitality. We will return.

Great mussels, have only been for lunch recently and it's quite calm and not much of a wait. Great backyard/outside.

Excellent food and a very nice french bistro ambience. I'm a big fan of this place, my wife and I come here every couple of weeks. The beef tartare is excellent so are the moules et frites and the burger. This time I took the filet mignon and it was excellent. Must try if you're in the area!

I love that they list all of the local farms they source their food from. You can taste the quality and the server was extremely helpful and kind. Steak frites was delicious but my boyfriend got the special and it was better (veal, which I'd never had before). If I were to go back I'd get one of the many specials they have!

Brunch in France? Oui s'il vous plaît (yes please).I was excited to try my first-ever omelet and French. Let's not forget the croissants and wine!The oeuf Benedictine aux salmon or eggs benedict with salmon (poached egg, smoked salmon, spinach, hollandaise, market greens, pommes frites) was pretty interesting. It was fresh and savory, but a tad too salty for me. Great service and ambiance!

They must have run out of money because the plates of food being served here should be illegal and everyone in the kitchen and front end should be arrested for serving bad food. No only is the food bad it's nasty. I wonder if the Health Department has checked this restaurant for food experience skills. All the other restaurants in the same area are packed with people and this place is empty. Somebody needs to provide this restaurant with skills on how to close down. No lies!

Really poor food quality for the price. Environment was unsanitary-- saw staff using bare hands to handle bread right after handling dirty dishes without washing hands (it's an open kitchen so you can see in). Owner walking around loudly blowing nose and then going right up to tables after. Absolutely gross.

Food was excellent. The owner came to greet us and was so warm and inviting. It cozy and quiet. A nice place for dinner. Eager to go back
