Leland Eating and Drinking House

Lovely experience. A beautiful and fun space in Prospect Heights with a great vibe and wonderful staff. Loved how friendly everyone was despite being busy. Our brunch was flavor packed and the homemade breads were fresh and light. The sausage, egg and cheese was excellent- just a bit on the salty side. The entire dish was consumed but would've loved something to balance the salt. Regardless, very unique menu and we look forward to returning for dinner.

Nestled somewhere in the delightful, albeit slightly ambiguous territory between Prospect Heights and Crown Heights (or is it Crown Prospects? Prospect Crowns?), lies a charming American restaurant that captured both my palate and my heart. This bustling eatery, a vibrant mix of Brooklyn's eclectic essence, is as much a culinary destination as it is a testament to the unique character of the area. On my recent visit, the first challenge was deciding whether I was in Crown Heights or Prospect Heights – a local quirk that adds to the charm of the place. Jokes aside, what's unmistakable is the inviting atmosphere that greets you the moment you step in. As a walk-in on a busy evening, I found myself comfortably seated at the bar – a stroke of luck, or perhaps just Brooklyn's way of saying 'welcome'. The bar staff were nothing short of phenomenal, blending attentiveness with a flair that's uniquely New York. Now, let's talk about the food: the roasted chicken was good, but the real star of the show was the roasted potatoes. Surprisingly, these humble spuds stole the spotlight with their perfect blend of crispiness and flavor, a testament to the kitchen's skill. For those planning a visit, I'd recommend making a reservation to avoid the wait, but if you do find yourself at the bar, you're in for a treat. Another aspect of the restaurant that deserves a special mention is its spacious and impeccably clean bathroom – a rarity in the city and a reflection of the establishment's attention to detail. The overall ambiance was exactly my style, blending a casual yet sophisticated vibe that's perfect for both a night out with friends or a solo culinary adventure. In summary, this American eatery in Brooklyn is a delightful blend of excellent food, warm hospitality, and a unique atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a place that warrants a visit – just don't get too caught up in figuring out which neighborhood you're in!

So glad I came across this place on Instagram! Had a work lunch with a colleague during vinyl hour and the food/drinks were absolutely delicious. Everything is made in-house and fresh. The bread and butter was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They even split servings into two so that my colleague and I could try more things. Make sure to try the mix of their frozen margarita and Negroni! A perfect summer cocktail. Fabulous lunch. Will be back.

This place is definitely a vibe. The staff are all amazing and informative and just over all make this place worth going to. The food was good, i would definitely try the specials. Make sure come early if place orders for pick up because they do sell out fast. So some items on the menu won’t be available even if u have a resy lol it’s just that good.
