Every once in a while, it is good to go back and review restaurants already reviewed, and to check out what the scene is like.

I thought I’d poke my head in and see what Camille Becerra has been up to since she was on Top Chef.

Changes for the better:

The Menu – some nice additions, such as the seared scallops with the saffron ragout and the quinoa caviar, and the seasonal sides. 

The Hours – It’s now dinner only, Tuesday through Sunday (weekend brunch has returned, however) which is probably a good thing, since the place is open late night for the party monsters inhabiting the tidal coast of Northside and Greenpoint. It is likely, once the hulking ugliness in LIC creeps down the point, that the hours will expand to accommodate the people- explosion, but we’ll have to stay tuned for that.

The Chef – Camille is closer to her kitchen than she was right after the opening, which is always good.

The Weekly Line Up has begun to fall into place:

Thursdays: DJ & Vintage Films

Sundays – DJ Gary spins

Some things never change:

The stench from the LIC sewage plant sometimes drifts down here and is inescapable

Most people still cling to the corner of Franklin & Greenpoint, as if that one extra block to the west might kill them.

Still a lot of abandoned buildings & live chicken slaughter to deal with on the avenue
