Best brunch in Williamsburg – The specials are always good. Great burger. Amazing pork tenderloin. Nice cocktails, long and affordable wine list, extensive selection of beer. It's all a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Brunch is actually considerably cheaper, it seems. You'll still spend less than you would at Egg. The chef has a vision here. The only reason I don't go here more is because they only take American Express (which is like saying you don't take credit cards at all).

not returning here... – compliments to the chef, good food, especially the gnocchi and the pork chop. only complaint on the food were the portions, not very filling. we were quickly seated and then waited almost an hour for our entrees. served one round of drinks when we first were seated and then didn't see our server again until it was time for the bill, which came quickly and was collected just as fast. the thing that bothered me was that the rest wasn't even very busy, empty tables to our right and left. service was simp... read more

Best food in Williamsburg – One of the only "neighborhood joints" left in Williamsburg where the food is always consistent and the staff remembers your name.

good with caveats – I've been a regular for years, and the food has changed, but stayed pretty consistent. of note are the fried calamari, meats are their strong point: burgers, hanger steak, pork tenderloin. brunches are pretty light. great outdoor garden. HOWEVER, service isn't their strong point. i'm getting pretty tired of the argentine "owner" and his manners. he should be running a club not a restaurant. my husband and i came in waiting to be seated, when a couple of tarts hobbled up. the argentine sat them first and c... read more

Thank you, dinner was great – I just went here for the first time and we had the best meal ever. Calamari, mussels, steak frites - all creative, inspired, cooked to pefection and served attentively (ate at the bar - I know the bartender from another neighborhood spot, she gave perfect, attentive but respectful service.). We had amazing martinis too. My date was super impressed, so highly reccommended!.

Walked away hungry – I dined at Sweetwater previously and enjoyed my dining experience. This time though, I was thoroughly disappointed with the overall events of the evening. It was a special night and I was anticipating a good meal. First off, it took over 20 minutes for our appetizer to show up. The waitress did not make an effort to apologize for the wait or bring us bread which was given to every table surrounding us. Secondly, it took another 40 minutes for our entrees to arrive. Upon arrival, my cornish hen was RAW! B... read more

Best Steak! – The steak here is amazing, the staff is very efficient and friendly, the wine selection rocks and the ambiance works for a romantic dinner for two or a night with some friends

Stumbled onto this place the other day after a day of bike riding and looking for a light lunch. Since I?m a lover of variety and sharing, we decided on 4 appetizers: garlic shrimp, roasted avocado w/ tomatoes, provolone rice meatballs w/ sausage ragu, and arugula salad w/ pecans green apples, and camembert ? everything was delicious. I especially liked the back patio which gets plenty of sun and shade on a nice day. The only thing that was a bummer was that this place is cash only. O well, I?m definitely coming back to try ... read more

great food, argentine owned so good wines, nice outdoor dining garden/patio – the place is this cozy, low lit place, with a very ecletic crowd. we had the mussles for appetizer, delicious with coconut based sauce. entrees were the burger on english muffin- good but nothing out of ordinary. duck breast was killer with feta cheese and grilled tomatoes. monk fish was awesome with some awesome greens. we had a bottle of mil piedras melbac from argentina, $35, and a lychee martini $10. the wine was great, the martini just okay. t... read more
