Great date spot for Michelin starred New American at reasonable prices. The steak and short ribs was fantastic and big enough for two. Crispy artichoke salad and pastries, too.

At Meadowsweet Polo, Dobkin treats octopus like a bathing beauty in this hyper-attractive presentation flavored with chorizo, basil oil, and thin strips of glistening red pepper. Read more

SO GOOD!!! We had a selection of the apps to share and I had the truffle pasta - delish. Great service and beautiful space (former desslers). Nice outdoor seating as well.

The tasting menu is a great value and I was pleasantly surprised that my boyfriend and I mostly got different dishes, allowing us to sample more! Standouts were crispy artichokes and squid ink pasta

Get the olive oil rolls, the empanadas, and the steak! —The duck was good, and so was the burrata dish, but the top three things were must have. The dessert was good, but not incredible.
Jen BergNovember 20, 2014
Everything on this menu is really special and delicious. Hand rolled pasta app was amazing. The plancha marina was a modest main course and I suffered food envy to those who ordered other stuff.

Good spot for date night or groups! Our group (6 ppl) had a wonderful dinner here. Highlights include octopus, short ribs, and scallop cerviche! Cocktails are well-made too! Worth the Michelin star!
Kim RaimondiJune 29, 2014
Well, for being open for a week, you have my attention and taste buds! Delicious from perfectly crafted cocktails with in house herbs to amazing complementary profiteroles. Worth the trek to Brooklyn.
PureWowAugust 5, 2016
Those delightful microgreens on your raviolo? Oh, those were grown in the restaurant, on the herb mezzanine. The menu rotates daily to feature fresh ingredients, but mains typically max out at $30. Read more

Fantastic tasting! For 2, each person gets a different dish per course essentially letting you try the whole menu. Everything was great but the pastas, seafood and steak entrees stood out.
Kat CApril 9, 2016
Everything we tried was great-fluke crudo, cavatelli, black sea bass, hanger steak, and the panna cotta. Order the Smoke Gets in Your Rye cocktail.
Cynthia PoonJune 5, 2019
Loved the roasted artichoke, asparagus, scallops, pretty much the entire menu. And the duck entree was incredible! The coconut macaroons at the end were a dream, too. So good!
Paula VillanuevaMarch 1, 2015
The omelette is deliciously healthy. Get a cup of punch to wash it down and end with the house donuts, freshly made! But the best part is most definitely the music, great tunes 👌
Lori LuoDecember 30, 2014
The restaurant succeeding The Dressler has been turned into an American-Mediterranean restaurant by chef Polo Dobkin. Brunch is the ideal meal here, thanks to the generous amount of natural lighting.
EmmaJanuary 10, 2016
Great food (cauliflowers are tasty!), desserts are amazing( tarte tatin), cocktails and wines as well, we really enjoyed the atmosphere there.
bilal ercanJune 23, 2016

The scallops were a stand out from an excellent 5-course tasting menu, with brilliantly matched wines thanks to an engaged and enthusiastic sommelier.
Ashley ChanJuly 23, 2017
This place is a winner with an affordable but high-quality tasting menu, unpretentious ambience, and quite possibly the best duck I have ever tasted. My only complaint would be the poor service.
Steven LambiaseJanuary 23, 2015
All 3 egg variations at my table were prepared perfectly at brunch. The poached eggs were 2 tear drop shaped piles of deliciousness on top of a savory bed of duck confit. Highly recommended.
Ruthie GarelikAugust 3, 2014
Recommend octopus, scallop ceviche, grilled artichokes, cod, branzino, pork chop, & leave room for dessert! Coconut cream pie & the plum galette w/cinnamon ice cream. Bathrooms downstairs & unisex!
Arthur ShimJuly 4, 2014
Best restaurant in bk. Every bite is a party in your mouth. Sample one plate from all 4 categories. Ra ra rye rocks. Chef polo is the man too. Get here before Michelin madness strikes.
Wilson ZhouAugust 8, 2014
Pastry chef Jared Rubin cooks peaches in caramel, stuffs them into a classic puff pastry, bakes it all, and serves it hot with cool housemade lemon-verbena ice cream that has blueberry jam swirled in.
Holly DowellSeptember 15, 2016
A go to spot for date night and other special occasions. Absolutely love the artichoke appetizer. The bread is delicious. Solid wine selection. Beautiful interior.
Ben WatkinsOctober 28, 2016
Amazing tasting menu with a few surprises here and there. Make special requests at the beginning if you have preferences (I love scallops haha). Cocktails were just okay, stick with wine maybe?
Andrea BarrezuetaJuly 2, 2014
Been here 5+ times
Perfect service and apps are amazing. Looking forward to more. Better than the Dressler so far (as it occupies the same space). Love the decor, wine list.. All!
Ridhiman ReddyAugust 17, 2019
Truffle egg toast and the flour less chocolate cake are amazing. Everything else we ate was really good too. Perfect for the price. Really good for dates
Carl FranzenFebruary 15, 2016
Everything I've had here is excellent. Short rib was a highlight. Recently had a pork loin served with a side of bacon, also delicious. Not cheap, but worth it.
Kellan ESeptember 21, 2014
The cuscino and all the other starters are awesome. Also they were able to do a puréed potato side for our baby daughter.
Steve SchulerAugust 9, 2014
An absolutely amazing new spot. Food is killer, drinks out of this world, and the transformation of the space from Dressler is rather unbelievable. A real must try.
Alice EunjinJanuary 31, 2016
Delicious food! We had the artichoke salad, mushroom pasta with truffle, pork chop, and duck breast. All delicious
Danny NathanSeptember 5, 2016
Meadowsweet is awesome. Been here a few times and every meal has been delicious. It's a bit of a "special occasion" kind of place though - a bit pricey.
SparkieAugust 29, 2014
Chef Polo Dobkin returns to his old stomping grounds. The space is lighter and brighter now, and the brunch menu includes huevos rancheros, a burger, and fresh doughnuts with jam.
Caroline SchulweisOctober 6, 2014
Had a great meal here. Comfy and stylish decor. The scallop ceviche (pictured) and octopus were delicious!
Steve RossMarch 10, 2017
The duck! Wow! So good. It reminded me of a perfectly cooked New York strip steak, but with a crunchy, caramelized, spicy skin. Perfect.
Evan BartlettApril 3, 2015
My favorite restaurant in Williamsburg at the moment, everything is delicious and their dishes are creative. The sommelier knows his stuff
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
Save room for desserts: the pastry chef likes to cut loose, drizzling ice cream with olive oil or sprinkling marcona almonds on a lemon ice cream tart. Read more
Mayank MahajanDecember 12, 2021
The black fettuccine and the Spanish chorizo and octopus are amazing! The roasted chicken and the duck are good but not mind blowing.
emeFebruary 5, 2015
One of the best brunches I've ever had. Excellent service, low prices, quality food, attentive staff. Get the fry sauce/dip.
AmateurConciergeNovember 23, 2014
The spicy cocktail is fantastic. DO NOT skip the artichoke hearts. My girl loved the homely and modern decor
Evan BartlettApril 15, 2015
Solid brunch, donuts where a great appetizer. Check out the rose selection

Hidden gem, amazing food, creative and augmenting authentic ingredients. Great atmosphere, trendy and relaxed.
Benjamin PalmerAugust 11, 2014
its all quite good! the apps stand out the most - soups, trout salad. Maybe get a few more small dishes to share vs a standard entree?
ClaireMarch 22, 2015
Came here for brunch and didn't want to leave. Duck confit hash was so good. Definitely start with the doughnuts!
AmateurConciergeMarch 4, 2019
Burrata with squash chips, duck pappardelle, wagyu skirt steak all money. Devil cocktail
Valentin GuerinApril 30, 2017
Try the scallop ceviche, and the roasted baby carrots. Bread is delicious, and cocktails are great!
Suraj SavaliaOctober 6, 2016
Cute outdoor seating on a quieter Williamsburg street. Coffee cocktail is delicious with brunch!
Kavita BabaApril 19, 2015
Great selection of wine for a lazy afternoon drink. Recommend the commanderie rosé for a warm summer's day
J StandeferMarch 11, 2015
Seafood cooked to meltiness. Crazy good yeast dinner rolls. Yay! Lovely girls' night or date spot.
Lettuce BApril 23, 2016
The pan-seared Atlantic tile fish special was special. Small portions of everything, but everything was delicious.
Wally NApril 6, 2018
Best brunch in Williamsburg with a menu full of traditional brunch items.
