Bitches Who BrunchDecember 16, 2016The Bitches say: B+. A laid-back neighborhood gem in the heart of Williamsburg with a lovely hidden garden. Don’t miss the lamb burger and the French toast. Read more
Three cheese gnocchi, the sweetwater burger with bacon and truffle pecorino cheese and the red beet, kale, Gorgonzola salad were all soooooo good. Add that great staff and you got the perfect place
Farhat SikderAugust 30, 2020The menu was so good. The calamari, the truffle fries, goat cheese bruschetta were our favorites. The sauces in particular made it stand out. We also got the steak frites & the burger

One of the best places in the neighborhood. Absolutely love it. Can't go wrong. And don't miss the garden.
Sweetwater's brunch takes the quality over quantity route, with only 6 or so choices (depending on specials) but everything is amazing. Go for the Eggs Benedict or the Egg Supreme
Sophie RieseFebruary 22, 2015This place is great for large groups and parties! The staff is friendly, helpful, and accomodating, and the ambiance and food are fantastic!
The Corcoran GroupJuly 14, 2011Take a seat in a comfortable booth, soak up the great atmosphere and be coddled by the excellent waitstaff. Order the delicious Sweetwater burger. Cash only.
EvanSeptember 24, 2013What's not to love about this place? Bakeri bread, cheese plates, excellent salads, and a pretty satisfying beer/wine & cocktail list. The only catch: cash or Amex only. But there's a garden!
İpek A.January 28, 2015If you are in Bedford you should definetly trythis place. Delicious sandwiches, brunches. Their house beer is also great!
Jenny SorensenApril 8, 2015Come here for a glass of wine or cocktails at the bar, leave with a full belly having not been able to resist the aromas drifting from the intimate booth around you. Read more- The Sweetwater Burger with bacon might be the best burger in the city, but if you're looking for something a little lighter, try the Watermelon Salad, a refreshing take on the greek salad
Dimi BougouliaAugust 23, 2011The garden in the back is an absolute hidden paradise for the summer time.. Their food is delicious! We LOved their watermelon salad, the sweetwater burger w/ bacon and the grilled chicken dish !!
sit outside in the back - one of the best most unexpected spots in the neighborhood. try the burger or the kale salad
Leah HammerschlagJuly 20, 2015Delicious burger. The cheese gnocchi is amazing but super rich... Order as an app and share with 3 people. Great service.
Alfred M.November 16, 2014we shared mussels, the 16oz steak frites special and a side of brussels sprouts. highly recommend. staff super nice too
The back patio is gorgeous and peaceful. Drink suggestion for summer days or evenings: Spaghetti Western
Danny TrejoAugust 9, 2015Outdoor seating in the back is amazing. Great date spot. Burger was one of the best I've had.
Magdalena GarczyńskiMarch 24, 2013Burger was great quality meat. French onion soup also delicious. Wine $10+; can get a $5 beer. Service was quick and friendly. Would go back!
Kevin RickertJuly 18, 2015A nice place for a date, came here for the banoffee with Oreo crust, and it is hearty. Save room for it.

Katie ChildressNovember 27, 2014Great for groups. The people were amazing and the food was delish! I'd recommend the mussels.
Connor SatterfieldAugust 9, 2020French Onion soup was great! Kale salad was light and refreshing. Fish and chips was solid.
M TOctober 13, 2011Banafi cake is that amazing- lamb burger is delicious, the mussels can easily be an entree and the sides are quite large so only get one unless you're sharing.
Audrey EvansJuly 7, 2011The gazpacho is amazing -- spicy and refreshing. The perfect summer treat. Also try the gnocchi with truffle oil because it will make you very happy.
Scott SullivanDecember 5, 2015Everything is amazing but especially love the chicken and tabouli salad
MichaelNovember 27, 2013Burger is on point, onion rings are tasty, bruschetta is good but non-traditional. They have a tasty house Amber on tap.

CarleyFebruary 10, 2013Such a gem! The mussels are delicious and our waitress was a doll. Friendly, warm, cozy environment.
BonNovember 24, 2013Whether you like meat or not, the burger waft is divine. Bonus point for ginger hot toddy in the winter.- Beautiful spot with great food.. Perfect spot for brunch on a sunny day
The fish special and burger w truffle pecorino are deluxe. Give the new encrusado white wine a spin, dry and mineral!
J BSeptember 7, 2019I wanted to love this place as it’s a beautiful restaurant but we had 2 very average meals. I couldn’t even finish the lentil and chickpea stew and the chicken also wasn’t great.
Ash LPJune 2, 2011The beet salad is out of this world with the sweetest beets I've ever had and an incredible cheese to go with it!
