Dumonet's owner/chef Jean-Louis with former owner/chef Tony Romano
New owners Jean-Louis and Karen Dumonet have re-imagined the space, but the old familiar wood bar is still exactly as it was and the restaurant has a wonderful familiarity about it.
Best of all, Tony Romano walked in last night and took his seat at his usual table, chatting with customers, just as he always did. His retirement to Florida lasted exactly four days before he returned to Brooklyn.

It was a perfect Carroll Gardens moment, a perfect mixture of the neighborhoods past and present.
Dumonet is now open at 315 Smith street and the food is absolutely delicious.

Nice seeing Tony. The menu seems a bit pricey.
I know the chef has serious cred, but it definitely seems way overpriced for the neighborhood. Was looking forward to trying it but nearly fainted when I saw the prices listed online.
