Sonny’s Bar & Grill has been in business
just three months, but it has already established itself as a
brunch destination on Smith Street.
Wander by on a weekend and the outdoor tables are packed with
brunchers lingering over their eggs and hearty salads. Stroll
by in the evening and diners are sipping wine and enjoying green
market vegetables, fresh fish and steaks hot off the grill.
All that pales though when you consider what’s coming.
In a week, chef Merlin Tlapa (pictured at left with his watermelon
parfait) will start cranking out house-made ice cream, gelato
and sorbet in flavors like passion fruit and good old chocolate
chip and vanilla. Top it with fresh whipped cream, hot fudge,
nuts and every sundae accouterment you’ve dreamed of all winter
long. If ice cream and only ice cream is what you want, you can
take your scoop or two and join the rest of the diners at the
outdoor tables.
Sonny’s Bar & Grill (305 Smith St. at Union Street in Carroll
Gardens) accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Entrees:
$7.50-$17. Ice cream prices to be determined. The restaurant
serves lunch and dinner seven nights a week. Brunch is served
Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 am to 4 pm. Kids’ menu available.
For information call (718) 643-3293.
