bricolage: vietnamese gastropub, park slope: review

Checked out Bricolage, Vietnamese Gastropub, on 5th Ave. near Lincoln (old Fish Camp space) last night. They got off to a bad start, making us wait half an hour for a table (we had a reservation!). Service was pretty ridiculous (overzealous young waitress) but they redeemed themselves with the food. Fresh, delicate summer rolls; a delicious (if hard to eat—ignore their instructions and use knife and fork) crêpe with shrimp (sounds gross, but we ate every crumb) [Vietnamese Crepe “banh xeo” – fresh Georgia white shrimp, pork, onion, bean sprouts]; a perfect grilled steak with delicious sauce [Unshaking Beef – Niman Ranch flank steak, pearl onions, scallion, lime-pepper sauce]. Expensive, but you can feed two with two starters and one entree. Good beer selection.
Grade: B+
