I don't know if it was Reform or Orthodox because I was not at the main service, but a different one in the basement. My friend Avi took me, about 3 years ago. I don't remember the name of it, but I recall it was on Garfield Place a block or two from Prospect Park. And it had a dome on the top. If that helps.

I remember the service was definitely NOT a Reform service.

That would be Alt Shul (http://altshul.org/), which borrows space in either the basement or the rabbi's study at the Reform congregation but is way more traditional than most Reform or even Conservative congregations. Shoshana davens with them every other Shabbat. They're a friendly group of 20somethings and 30somethings (the average age is 32) who are very into ritual.

Yea, I think that's the group I visited. I remember they were quite friendly after the service but I confess that I did not feel at home with their service. My friend Avi liked it though. (Avi used to live in Park Slope.)

They're davening cognoscenti and their prayer service can be intimidating to those who are not in the know.
