Fodor's Expert Review The General Greene

$$ Fort Greene and Clinton Hill American

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This rustic, farm-to-table spot serves fare that skews local, pairing specialty cocktails with dishes like roasted beets and caraway-crusted pork tenderloin at dinner service, and housemade brioche doughnuts at the popular weekend brunch. Service can be erratic, but it's part of the neighborhood charm. Save room for dessert, which includes a rotating cast of ice creams by the house label, Fort Grace. In warm weather, Fort Grace operates a sidewalk ice-cream stand on the Clermont Avenue side of the building.
