Seasonal menu with seafood, vegetables, pasta & cocktails
"Opened in May 2023 with a French menu from opening chef Alexia Duchêne, the restaurant pivoted to a more casual format just a month later after Duchêne's departure. It has also gained a reputation as a hip afterparty spot associated with Charli XCX, reflecting the co-owners' evolving, trendy approach to hospitality." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A Fort Greene wine bar and restaurant that opened in May 2023 is temporarily closing for renovations from June 16 through June 29 to refresh its space and revamp the menu, with a reopening party planned for June 30; co-owners Halley Chambers and Kip Green are reportedly working on securing a new West Village lease, and their Instagram lists an association with the name Cleo." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Margot is a neighborhood restaurant with a more substantial menu than typical wine bar food. Think dishes like roast chicken with polenta, rigatoni with ragu, and koginut squash with taleggio." - Emma Orlow
"When Duchêne opened a Fort Greene restaurant in May 2023 as a co-owner and chef, "her fine-dining pedigree was mismatched for the space." She left a month later when two of the other co-owners decided to turn it into a more casual neighborhood restaurant." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I note that Margot opened in Fort Greene this spring and has already signed on a new spot; after parting ways with Alexia Duchêne a month into opening, the kitchen is now helmed by Frank Scarlota-Gurten, previously of Contra and Momofuku Ko." - Luke Fortney
