Had wontons made with pork and chestnuts. Excellent. Eggplant was terrific. Kung pao chicken had odd vegetables (bamboo!) and was forgettable. Service was amazing. Ordered a great drink but was told that was the last they could make.

We have our monthly book club meeting at Brooklyn High Low and it’s truly the highlight of the month! I have celiac and they are so thoughtful and careful that I always feel super safe eating there. I got my own separate tower that was entirely GF. The staff is so kind and very knowledgeable about the teas, snacks, allergies, you name it! Can’t wait to head back next month 🩷

After the museum, we were a big group for lunch. There was a happy hour menu with drinks and some food options. Tacos were great, spicy and hibiscus margaritas were very good, and those who had sandwiches also really enjoyed. Prices were very fair (cheap even). Service excellent. Highly recommend!
