I had brunch at Brooklyn Beet Company this weekend and loved it. The space is intimate and unique (long, narrow communal dining tables, and ecclectic decor). The menu is full of interesting and original dishes, all at reasonable prices. I ordered the cheese polenta with brisket goulash. It blew me away. Hearty and delicious, with a humungous (and balanced) serving. Had the radler to wash it down and was very pleased. My companion ordered the beets benedikt and it was excellent as well. She got the beet-ini for a drink, and it was a combination of delectable and ...healthy-tasting. But in a good way.

All-around wonderful experience and highly recommended. Maybe if we support businesses like this - that is, local businesses offering original, well-made fare at reasonable prices - we'll encourage more to sprout up.
