The good news on Park Slope dining continues to roll in. This week, the Times’ Peter Meehan has plenty of good things to say about the South Slope’s Little Dishes which is located at Seventh Avenue at 15th Street:
Little Dishes serves a roster of Mediterranean-leaning American cuisine prepared with little fuss and few showy flourishes. The restaurant’s name may prompt suspicions that it’s running the small-plates shell game that seduces diners into ordering a litany of overpriced and undersized dishes. But fear not. Portions tend more toward ample than adequate. You can happily make an appetizer-entree-and-dessert meal work, or, if so inclined, order a few dishes, augment them with a couple of side dishes, and make a convivial, communal dinner out of it. The service at Little Dishes was consistently excellent; the servers informed and flexible: they will pace your dinner perfectly.
In other Brooklyn food news, it sounds like over in Boerum Hill they’re making a mean banh mi. Mmmmmm.

That’s funny because I went to Little Dishes two nights ago and was thoroughly underwhelmed. This place is nothing to get excited about.
i think the first thing on that strip was max and moritz (now anthony’s), but bird was definitely the spark. it opened in 1999.
Cool. What kind of cafe? And opening when?
It is going in across the street from Magnolia.
Is the new cafe on 6th and 12th replacing Magnolia or going somewhere else?
There is a new cafe going on 6th ave and 12th. Can’t wait.
Also, strangely enough, Katina’s — the rundown diner on 7th Ave. — has amazing fresh squeezed orange juice. It’s really good.
Agreed. There’s also a new thai place opening soon. Parco has really good baked goods (including the best linzer tortes I have ever had.) Olive Vine is good for what it is if you order right. (Fantastic pita.) And Naidre’s is a good neighborhood standby.
I wonder what sparked the strip to take off. I suspect Bird (women’s clothing boutique) was the bedrock.
That’s how you burn off dessert.
Those are the benefits of living below 5th. Cheaper prices and rock-hard quads.
