Arden

Industry veterans Scott Dansby and Mark Mata set up this spot just a short walk from the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. The kitchen delivers a locally focused and globally conscious menu, with options ranging from octopus and fried oysters to pork chops and Ahi tuna. Serving both brunch and dinner, the restaurant pairs these dishes with a dynamic wine list, while the welcoming staff are known to help guide food and drink choices.
