Since the minuscule Brooklyn Fare opened last summer, its single table’s twelve communal seats have been booked months in advance. But in what constitutes a major expansion, the dining room’s been beefed up so it can comfortably accommodate six more guests. That means chef César Ramirez can now serve his beloved tasting menu ($135) to 40 guests a night, and he’ll also open up Sundays and Mondays for groups of ten to twelve. The menu has grown, too — from fifteen to twenty courses, including canapés, and, this week, the scallops with corn purée and pork belly pictured — and will soon offer wine pairings. The courses on offer will change nightly; read on for a sample menu.
