Royal's Downtown: Nestled into a quiet Carroll Gardens corner is the new American bistro Royal’s Downtown, a foodie haven with a bed-and-breakfast/fireplace-in-the-corner/chandeliers-on-the-ceiling ambience. Sound fancy? It is. You can sip politely on your glass of Pinot Grigio at the sleek wooden bar, or satisfy your craving for organic greens and free-range roasted chicken on the outdoor patio, which is separated by the rest of the dining room by elegant French doors. But for goodness' sake, don’t raise your voice above the hushed din! And cross your legs when you sit! And iron that shirt for once! Royal’s isn’t running that kind of establishment, buddy. Come back when you want to impress with your good manners and your good taste. |
