Isa in Brooklyn; Chicago's The Barrelhouse Flat

Here are the mid-week reviews: Robert Sietsema gives biking directions to the Indian Clove on Staten Island. Jay Cheshes maxes out his star power giving five stars to Isa in Brooklyn. Despite the fact that "the first item on the menu—pig-face poutine—had [her] rolling [her] eyes in food-trend fatigue," Julia Kramer finds it "positively shocking how good the food is at the Barrelhouse Flat" in Chicago.
