This critically-acclaimed Williamsburg restaurant serves modern American fare. Although some of chef Justin Hilbert's creations might look avant-garde, all of his dishes pack a lot of flavor.

Whiskey bread and lamb tongue were flawless. My duck was a little chewy and earthy tasting (same for the broccoli rabe on the beef entre) but plating here is beyond fantastic!

Truly amazing food. I rarely order chicken, but theirs was one of the best I have ever had. The way each dish is conceived to ensure the ingredients mix as well as possible is superb.

The rum-cake like whiskey bread could be eaten for both an appetizer and dessert (in the same seating!) The deliciously seasoned chicken w/ vegetables is also not to be missed.

The Almond Crusted Tofu was amazing!!!! The tofu was unlike any other I have ever tried. It just melts in your mouth. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VEGAN FRIENDLY DISH! I will be back.

Look up the reviews on this place. It's highly rated, and deserves it. Almost always have a duck entree on the menu—amazing. I'm not sure you can go wrong here. Whisky bread—really good.

A delightfully unpretentious—yet thoroughly Brooklyn—restaurant that aspires to be a great neighborhood spot but winds up being much, much more.

Great happy hour Mon - Aside from solid food, great Happy Hour! Mon-Thurs, 5-7pm. $4 drafts, $7 cocktails & $7 wines! Try the Wadsworth: beefeater gin, Luxardo Triplum, lemon, green chili, coriander.

The presentation is worth a thousand words! Can do without whiskey bread. Tongue is good. Pike is super tender and light.

Don’t be deterred by the kitchen’s unusual pairings: “This is food that’s meant to challenge you, which is presumably why the kitchen presents it as art.” Indeed, art that you're guaranteed to devour. Read more

Justin Hilbert works seasonal ingredients into modern compositions that have the impact of true originality. The tofu tells what you need to know about Mr. Hilbert’s independent streak.

The pecan tofu is out of this world amazing heaven. Get it whether or not you're vegan.

Amazing and interesting food, that far excels the kind of crap front of house. Go for a date, it's the new Masten Lake.
Dolapo FalolaMay 12, 2012
great spot. the whiskey bread is a must have, of course, and the hen of the woods/lardo appetizer is bananas
Kimberly TaylorAugust 16, 2012
Been meaning to check this place out. Bartenders are well trained, personable and know every bit of the menu. Great cocktails.
Heloisa AquinoAugust 27, 2012
The menu changes constantly to ensure that everything is fresh. On Sundays they have a 3 course prefix for $44 dollars that is an AMAZING deal.

Consume the meaty beef rib cap w/ pickled bone marrow & parsley root. Drink the Chatoe Rogue OREgasmic, which, quite frankly, is orgasmic. Read more

Egg appetizer, duck entree, coconut dessert. Everything is amazing. Oh also the coriander cocktail.

The Bok Choy minus the feta was perfectly suitable for a vegan like myself. But more importantly it was DELICIOUS!

Whiskey bread, chicken liver and gorgeous cocktails. Consider sitting at the bar as table service may be dodgy.
Amanda KludtMarch 10, 2012
Been here 10+ times
Delicious, though dainty, food. Love the chicken and the mushroom and I can't stop ordering that tofu.

The presentation of every dish is impeccable. The whiskey bread is a MUST!

Ok this place is awesome. Owner either getting killed by chinese mob or locked up for a long time over fake molly so come while u can

Ignore the decor, it's not a place to see the jets play the steelers, it's a place to try some amazing, subtle and adventurous food.
Akshay PatilMay 2, 2013
Order a drink and gobble up their amazing whiskey bread. The rest of the food is pretty but less noteworthy.

No words. Give them your credit card and let them feed you. So insanely good.

Mushroom appetizer is amazing, tastes like a foraged rainforest don't miss it
Christopher PepeAugust 21, 2013
A temple to pretension and preciousness. Maybe just get the whiskey bread to go?
Premshree PillaiNovember 17, 2013
I was looking forward to be blown away and challenged, but my fall tasting felt hacked together without any coherence. Warm space but service felt un-coordinated, non-chalant and too rushed.
Brenda BApril 25, 2012
Everything I had was amazing. Can't go wrong. Will be back.
CharleneMay 7, 2013
go for their whole cocktail list and whiskey bread.
Brian YurkoJanuary 31, 2012
Step 1: Bother Adam at the bar. Step 2: Get the tasting menu, it's worth it.

Coconut dessert is divine w/ malt, barley and pomegranate. A Must.

Tasting menu is good and reasonably priced. Do it.

For brunch the French Toast and the Cheese Dumplings will make you eat the plate it came on.
