This week, famed Cobble Hill institution, Cafe on Clinton, was poised to re-open under the watchful eye of chef Charlie Statelman who once manned the kitchen at Smith Street’s Patois and currently runs Wombat, the Aussie eatery in Williamsburg.
“The restaurant always had a great reputation,” said Statelman. But he plans on making the 286 Clinton St. eatery a destination with a new menu and wine list. The grub will run the gamut from an appetizer of garlic snails to a meaty smoked duck entree served with white truffle polenta. Serving dinner and brunch, the 42-seat spot should be a neighborhood standby again in no time.
Cafe on Clinton (286 Clinton St., at Warren Street in Cobble Hill). (718) 625-5908.
