EaterApril 23, 2013This 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.
Rae TaoJuly 2, 2013Whiskey 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!
Giulio del BufaloNovember 25, 2013Truly 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.
DishEnvyOctober 2, 2012The 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.
Ivana NikolicFebruary 21, 2012The 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.
RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013Look 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.
Serious EatsSeptember 30, 2013A delightfully unpretentious—yet thoroughly Brooklyn—restaurant that aspires to be a great neighborhood spot but winds up being much, much more.
BQ NguyenApril 19, 2012Great 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.
Tatiana DorochinaJune 5, 2013The presentation is worth a thousand words! Can do without whiskey bread. Tongue is good. Pike is super tender and light.
The New YorkerAugust 6, 2012Don’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
Tom LeeApril 1, 2013Justin 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.
Nancy NagarAugust 4, 2013The pecan tofu is out of this world amazing heaven. Get it whether or not you're vegan.
Mike BodgeMarch 4, 2012Amazing and interesting food, that far excels the kind of crap front of house. Go for a date, it's the new Masten Lake.
Kimberly TaylorAugust 16, 2012Been meaning to check this place out. Bartenders are well trained, personable and know every bit of the menu. Great cocktails.
Dolapo FalolaMay 12, 2012great spot. the whiskey bread is a must have, of course, and the hen of the woods/lardo appetizer is bananas
Heloisa AquinoAugust 27, 2012The 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.
NYMagNovember 27, 2012Ideal Meal: Whiskey bread, lamb breast with carrots, duck breast, salmon or sea scallops, chocolate ganache.- Ivana NikolicFebruary 21, 2012The Bok Choy minus the feta was perfectly suitable for a vegan like myself. But more importantly it was DELICIOUS!
Claire MazurMarch 20, 2012Egg appetizer, duck entree, coconut dessert. Everything is amazing. Oh also the coriander cocktail.
cynthia wangMay 24, 2013Whiskey bread, chicken liver and gorgeous cocktails. Consider sitting at the bar as table service may be dodgy.
Delicious, though dainty, food. Love the chicken and the mushroom and I can't stop ordering that tofu.
Hey NahDecember 14, 2013Ok 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
Abe BurmeisterDecember 24, 2011Ignore 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, 2013Order a drink and gobble up their amazing whiskey bread. The rest of the food is pretty but less noteworthy.

Pamela CastilloMarch 31, 2012Really great food. Loved the egg appetizer and the bass with smoked oyster sauce.
Tasting TableMay 2, 2012Don't miss the poached rib eye topped with pickled bone marrow and parsley parts: Read more
BrooklynBoyODecember 9, 2013Get that appetizer with one slice of lettuce. Will have you coming back over and over and over...
Ian JankelowitzOctober 27, 2012Mushroom appetizer is amazing, tastes like a foraged rainforest don't miss it
Premshree PillaiNovember 17, 2013I 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.
Christopher PepeAugust 21, 2013A temple to pretension and preciousness. Maybe just get the whiskey bread to go?
Brian YurkoJanuary 31, 2012Step 1: Bother Adam at the bar. Step 2: Get the tasting menu, it's worth it.
Patrick FigueroaJanuary 8, 2012For brunch the French Toast and the Cheese Dumplings will make you eat the plate it came on.
