Cheese please!!! It has taken me a while to visit this establishment which has been in my neighborhood for quite sometime now. It is awesome and I suggest you go, get some cheese . It was a oddly snowy Saturday night this weekend and we decided to stay local, for date night. So my husband and I took a snowy walk to Cheese Boat. It was semi busy when we arrived. A gentleman was DJ-ing from the Spotify on his phone, while he sat at the bar, over a Bluetooth speaker. He was playing some really good 80's everything, from Prince to David Bowie, to Modern English etc We were instantly greeted and sat. Our glasses were immediately filled and our menus given to us. The waiter answered questions about the most popular cheese boats and drinks. We ordered the herb truffle fries and the spinach butter cheese boat. The fries arrived first boy, were they plentiful and very good. A few minutes later our cheese boat arrived. One cheese boat is sufficient for two people. It was so warm and gooey, so perfect for a snowy night. We decide to have drinks at another location I had in mind for dessert that evening. So cheese boat is a definite must try, great for dates and friends gathering. Price point decent especially, since the boats are shareable. Staff very sweet Music good Venue warm and inviting read more

I am so sad to give this 2 stars. After all, how can you go wrong with cheese? :( Went here with a group of 4 on a Friday night, 7pm. We had reservations but the place was slow. By the time we left at 9 it was packed with a line. Plan accordingly. Wait service was good, bussing service was excellent. Got the appetizer sampler. Now, maybe I just don't like Georgian food, but I didn't like any of it. It was a selection of pureed spreads. Meh. The beef soup dumplings were doughy. The pièce de résistance, the Cheeseboat...it was just ok. I would have preferred it at 1/2 the size as an appetizer. I got the Chupacabra, which was Oaxaca cheese and chorizo. It was the best of the 3 I tried. The chorizo was unfortunately cut into hotdog-ish slices, only about 5 of which in the whole dish. It would have been more effective to have crumbled chorizo throughout. Tried the Magic Mushroom with truffle oil. Not a big fan, but that's on me as I don't love truffle. Lastly, tried Chicken and Garlic with "crispy bacon" on top. The crispy bacon wasn't very crispy and the slices were a bit big, like the chorizo would have benefitted from smaller pieces all over. So, the cheeseboat was ok but overall I was let down. read more

I found this place on instagram, and like many was intrigued with their cheesy goodness baked in soft bread. I mean who doesn't like a side of cholesterol with their starchy carbs? Bake an egg in that shit, and bam! I took a friend who is a little more food adventurous than my husband. It was so good. In fact I'd go so far as to say it wasn't enough. Like i just wanted more! They also had a sparkling red wine which was *kisses fingers to the sky*. This joint is in Williamsburg. Which means i will visits few and far between. My suggestion would Be to open a small outpost on the upper west side. And I'd visit that shit every day. Cheeseboat have your people call my people. Thanks read more

Can't emphasize enough how great this place is. Georgian culture and cuisine couldn't have been represented better. They make me proud that it's a Georgian restaurant with the sweetest Georgian lady as their owner and multicultural diverse nice staff. Georgia is exactly like that - diverse, open-minded, young generation supporting equality and full of innovative people. Food is amazing. Cheeseboats are modernized and very tasty. You can have the traditional version or some of the customized ones. Other Georgian food tastes very authentic as well, which is hard to find in NYC. At the same time, all the recipes have an individual touch. Overall, it's very innovative what they did with these recipes without changing their authenticity. I celebrated my birthday here, so it says how much I love to be there :) I hope they expand in the future. Best of luck to them! read more

Love this place. I have been to Russia and C. Asia more the. 50 times and Georgian food is my favorite in the region. The combo of Russian meets Asian meets European all comes together I. This cuisine and Cheeseboat delivers on authentic, creative well prepared dishes that depict the regions culinary delights perfectly. Don't miss the classic Kashapuri- basically cheese fondue en croute', the soups are freshly made and hearty, the dumplings are soft and juicy. I could go on and on. Don't miss out. read more

The food was decent and the service was not bad. But at the end of the meal, there was a billing issue that really affected our experience. All four of us ordered together, but when the bill came our wait staff asserted that there had been a malfunction which meant that the bill was divided into bills of different totals which they then left for our party to work out. These checks were not in any way correspondent to our orders, mind you, and we had not asked for separate checks. They did not apologize with a complementary dessert, and they didn't not appear to try to correct the check . It almost felt like they were aware that by creating a confusing situation at the end of the meal, that they were likely to benefit from the desire of all parties to not underpay or under tip. With a restaurant concerned with real customer service, they would have cancelled their weird fractured billing and started from scratch, rather than making it out problem. The behavior of the staff who were in charge of our check changed my review from a positive one to a negative one, as the negligence of that staff palpably deflated to mood of our party. And the person who left the dinner the most frustrated was the same person who had been the most enthusiastic about dinner at Cheese Boat and had suggested that we all eat there. Well done with that, folks. read more

I can't say how much I love this place. It's a cozy little place in Williamsburg. The food is amazing and the staff are super friendly. This place is a one of a kind place, they serve "cheeseboats". I mean what is a cheeseboat??? If you don't know what it is then you're missing out! I literally woke up the next day after I had it for the first time and was like "I'm going back there!" If you love pizzas this is definitely the place for you and it's a must try. They also have really good cheeseboat desserts-- which are mind-blowing. Mascarpone and fruits cheeseboat is probably one of my favorites along with the honeycomb cheeseboat. Overall it's a 5/5! They also do deliver too! read more

I've been stalking this place for awhile. After blocking the thought of how many calories I was about to consume in one sitting, I finally made my way here. Food: I ordered the regular Cheeseboat. It literally is what it says it is....Just a bowl of cheese. The combination of cheeses were fantastic but I couldn't help feeling like. "Dang, I should have just got a slice of pizza for all of this". Don't get me wrong, it was good and all but not worth the price. I also wanted to try the khinkali which I've had before at another authentic Georgian restaurant in Sheepshead, but the waiter told me they were out. Service: Based on prior reviews, I was bracing myself for a long wait and rude servers. But my food came out pretty quick. Then again, I did go first thing in the morning so no one was there. My waiter smiled and was super friendly. They also were good about refills. Venue: it's cute...has its own style. Nothing out of he ordinary. Also I dunno if it was the oven, but it was sweltering in there. That may have just been a one time thing. Verdict: I really think I overhyped this place up in my head. My experience was good and I was satisfied with my meal. But I think I'd go back to the other Georgian restaurant over this. read more

Great variety of tasty bread boats filled with different cheese and pairings. I highly recommend the brie and honeycomb cheese boat!

Got a reservation here with some friends for a Saturday night. Cheeseboat is conveniently located near the subway, in a busy area of Brooklyn. Ive been wanting to try this Georgian restaurant for a while, as they have a ton of menu items that peaked my interest. The restaurant is very cute inside, and has a very homey feel to it. Its not overly packed so you could come with a relatively large group and be comfortable. The service was fine, it took us a while to get our order in which was frustrating because the cheese boats take about 25 minutes to make according to the menu, but we eventually flagged the waiter down and ordered. We started with fried Periogi's, which were good but a little lacking in salt/flavor, I probably wouldn't get them again. We also ordered a variety of cheese boats, all were delicious. You get what you would expect, gooey cheesy goodness in a fresh baked boat of bread, my one warning would be that this is a salty dish! I found myself guzzling water for a while afterwards. Overall I had a good experience here, its definitely worth the hype online and is a fun food to try. I will be back to try more cheese boats and also the soup dumplings!! read more

Second time coming here & does not disappoint! First of all, the interior of the restaurant is very cute. They have cute plants and vines (and wines ) on display - gives you a very cultural Georgian vibe. Second of all, the truffle cheese boat hachapuris are the BOMB DOT COM. My husband and I love truffle with everything and restaurants are usually stingy with their truffle oil. Definitely NOT the case here - you can really taste the truffle in their hachapuri. So fresh and delicious, could barely finish the full cheeseboat. Our friends also got the truffle cheeseboat and the brie cheeseboat with walnuts. They really enjoyed their hachapuris as well. Would definitely come back again ! read more

Man oh man this place has a totally different vibe now. Less authentic and more desperate to fit into hipster demographic neighborhood. You're greeted with rap music. No more khinghali (Georgian dumplings) for lunch. I don't if it was the empty streets due to the covid19 pandemic or what but the vibes were totally off and weird. The cheese boat felt smaller and less cheesy too. Please bring back the old cheeseboat. read more

Cheeseboat - Mushroom truffle Cheeseboat - Georgian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Unique restaurant with delicious food, friendly service and dog friendly.

We cannot wait to go back. What a treasure! read more

FOOD: I am STILL dreaming about that magnificent cheeseboat!!! I went there with 3 other people last night. I got the original cheeseboat but added bacon because bacon makes life better, and so do cheese, butter and bread, so basically this cheeseboat is the materialization of happiness and everything good in the world. We also got one of the chickens, the mushroom dumplings and the garlic chicken soup. I didn't really got into those because I was busy stuffing my face with the cheeseboat, but the other at my party seemed happy with the other dishes as well. For DESSERT get 1 Napoleon. I usually suggest 1 dessert for max 2 people so that we can all try more than 1, but this napoleon is humongous! Please see my finger in the picture for reference. The SERVICE: look, they will not win the "most efficient service" award any time soon (they will likely forget a few items of your order and you're probably going to have to remind them more than once to bring you something they forgot), but they definitely win the "nicest and sweetest people ever" both the server and especially the buzz man. Enjoy!! read more

Saw one of the servers pour a glass of wine in the the restaurant, and then start picking, with their fingers inside the glass to get a fly/bug out, then casually bring it to a guest at the outdoor seating like nothing happened. Disgusting. Won't be coming back here... read more

If you love cheese and bread this is the place for you! If you love cheese as much as I do you will die and go to heaven twice. Went on a Tuesday night. Restaurant wasn't crowded in fact there was only one other table when we arrived. The wait for ordering our drinks wasn't that long. Ordered our food shortly thereafter. We opted for the mushroom dumplings as an appetizer. Fried at the suggestion of the waiter. They were crispy and decent. For our mains we went with the smoked Gouda cheese boat. Followed by the Brie and honey cheeseboat. Savory followed by sweet as our " dessert option" we also asked for extra honey to dip in . read more

Delicious, unique, and great service. We went for dinner last night and had no wait for saturday night. We ordered the following: - bottle of dry georgian white wine: didnt get the brand but it was light and perfect for the meal - hot borscht soup: very fresh tasting and a great veggie option - potato puree: was ok tasting but served cold which ended up pretty unpleasant - traditional cheeseboat with egg: unbelievably tasty, perfectly cooked, excited to try some of the many varieties next time - mushroom soup dumplings: Finally! Good veggie soup dumplings, will definitely have these again - Shkmuruli chicken: wow. Glad we went with this restaurant favorite for our first time. The chicken was crispy and moist and actually very meaty. The sauce though was almost completely cleaned out. Our waiter was very nice, casual, and made the whole experience feel warm and family oriented. The value overall was good considering each dish was pretty big and could easily serve more than 1 (2 dishes for 3 people is probably enough especially if one is a boat!) The only downsides were the cold potato puree and that pretty much everything is very heavy, which makes it tough to come too often. But were excited to come back with friends soon! read more

It was raining, and the restaurant wasn't open for another 15 minutes, but the host was kind enough to still seat us for our later reservation. There was three of us. We ordered one borscht which easily served the 3 of us, khinkali (6 in an order), steak and mushroom cheeseboat and honeycomb brie cheeseboat. We thought the borscht was outstanding. Loved the flavor of the soup dumplings; there's a poster showing you how to eat them. The steak cheeseboat did not skimp on the steak or mushrooms. The brie cheeseboat was sweet, heavy and rich but equally delicious. We took over half of it home. Overall, a very rich comforting eastern european meal. Come hungry. read more

I was asked: "What's the best thing you ate in 2017?" I answered "Cheeseboat." I think that pretty much sums it up. It's like a fresh, open-faced, melty, doughy calzone and you pick what goes inside. Soooooo good. read more

As I sat here waiting for my boats to dock, I had a vision. This sweet and savory vision that I could tear this cheeseboat up like monkey bread, cheese pull, cheese flood and then slather that bite with more cheese upon a return swirl and dip maneuver. Atlas, my vision only came partially true. The cheese pull and all its glory was epic for 'The Original'. Add the truffle oil because it gives a lovely hint of earthy fragrance. The mushrooms in 'Magic Mushroom' were a bit disappointing; they were diced, seemingly minced, and was of the only kind of mushroom I despised of. The contents created a very clumpy and sad (if any) cheese pull. Tips: 1. This meal requires A LOT of water because it's super salty...as if it was baked, loaded with a layer of salt, and then finished off with more cheese. 2. Definitely order the original version if you have to get a cheeseboat. 3. 2 cheeseboats will comfortably fill 4 people up. It was a bit much for 3 and will definitely be overwhelming for 2. read more

We ordered the mushroom cheese boat. It came without any mushroom and with an unexpected color of the cheese. After we asked about the mushrooms the waiter brought some on the side apologizing for forgetting. But as we ate the boat, we realized it didn't taste like the feta and mozzarella that was advertised on the menu. We asked a different server if something was wrong and she assured us (out of her ass) our dish had mozzarella and feta and that we just probably didn't know better. So we continued to eat because we were really hungry at this point. And then, at the near end of our meal, our server came to us to apologize for serving us a VEGAN cheese boat. They comped our food and we only paid for the bottle of Champaign we ordered but at the end of the day the service was dismal, we waited two hours for our food, and we received an incorrect order. This would've been fine if they didn't lie to us after we asked them about it. It all seems dramatic but imagine waiting for two hours for your food and getting this. read more

This is a place that I would probably only go to once in a while. The food isn't bad, but our dumplings were definitely under cooked (especially the top of our dumplings, it was very doughy/gummy). The cheese boat was good though! read more

This was my second time coming here and the fiod is DELICIOUS. I arrived about 15 min prior to opening and they allowed me to sit inside until the kitchen was open. My waiter was really nice and took my order. I was waiting for a while and noticed my waiter had their bag and was saying good bye to the bartender. They walked out and didn't say anything to me. I thought that was kind of strange. I understand if your shift ends but at least let me know and alter me to who I should reach out to for future help. My god did take about 30 minutes to Arrive but it was extremely tasty. (I got the Bubba cheeseboat). At the end of the day I did enjoy myself and would recommend this spot to my friends. read more

This place was great! We ordered the regular cheese boat and it was delicious. Very salty and buttery, but not too much for me. We also started with, and recommend, the fried squash nuggets.

Food is awesome! Three friends and I shared an imeruli khachapuri, cheeseboat with truffle butter, fried eggplant roulette with spiced walnut paste and soup dumplings khinkali. The cheese breads were amazing but it was definitely a bit much to have both, haha. Eggplant was okay; I prefer hot eggplant dishes to cold ones like this. Dumplings were amazing and possibly the highlight. Minus one star because the service wasn't great. Took forever to get our waiter every time! read more

This is my third time dining at Cheeseboat (the first two times were pre-pandemic). I'm happy to say that their quality has not changed. We ordered a smoked gouda cheeseboat, a mushroom penovani, and the sa'tsivi (a garlic chicken dish). The sa'tsivi with crostini was a scene stealer, with an addicting savory and creamy sauce. I do wish it had been served with more bread, as it's a pretty large portion and it only came with 3 slices. The mushroom penovani was skippable; it has a flaky, phyllo-like dough that I enjoyed, but there were few mushrooms inside and it was mostly filled with cheese. The cheeseboat was delicious as always, and the smoked gouda adds an extra depth of flavor. The outdoor dining area is well-heated and shielded from bad weather with plexiglass on 3 sides. Service was attentive and friendly. Their wine selection is also extensive, with several Georgian wines featured. If you're craving a decadent and cheesy meal, this will surely hit the spot. read more

Sweet baby jesus this place is GOOD. You can assume by the name that you should try the cheese boat! It's a MUST! I recommend the Mac and cheese one because it's a perfect item to split and it's so filling. There are many other options of cheeseboat which I like cause then I can try more! The decor is also so pretty and dainty ! You are surrounded my lights and branches and it feels like you're surrounded by a forest, so cute! The staff is really nice and helpful as well which I love. The prices and food are amazing, what more could you ask for? I will be back! read more

Tried this spot while passing through Williamsburg on the Fourth of July. We came to NY specifically to try as many restaurants as possible. This was a perfect addition to the itinerary. As a group of 5 we ordered two of the classic cheese boats and three orders of the soup dumplings. The cheese boats were amazing. The bread was the perfect consistency, pulled apart easily, and was the perfect temperature to melt the butter and heat the egg yolk. The soup dumplings were also great. The beef inside was delicious. Definitely glad we tried this spot while in New York. read more

Waited more than 1 hour for food with no explanation and not a single drink refill. The tip was included in the bill without warning.

Cheeseboat - Loved this Georgian Wine! - Georgian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

All I have to say is come here with stretchy pants!! My friend and I tried a few things on the menu and everything was delicious. I have been to Georgia and this meal definitely compared to the real thing! They definitely made some changes to the foods so It may not be the complete traditional khachapuri but It was delicious! They have a wide selection of the famous cheese boat (Adjaruli khachapuri). We decided to try something different and get the mushroom cheese boat. Ah-mazing! We also got the Khinkali (soup dumplings). They were delicious and served with a yogurt sauce. I wish they had some more of the soup in them but other than that they were very good. On the side we got chvishtari (cheese stuffed corn bread). I loved It! It is one of my favorite Georgian dishes and they did not disappoint!! Georgian wine is also a must with your meal!! Definitely recommended for a delicious carb-filled meal!! read more

Saw posts for this place on instagram so I got excited to try. I saw that you get a free glass of wine when you check in, and they offer yelp cashback here too so double bonus! Cheeseboat with Prosciutto ($21) A giant fresh bread boat of cheese, butter and eggs known as adjaruli khachapuri. The outside bread was crispy, and super soft and moist inside. The cheese filling was super stringy and oosey, really cheesy. Lacked a bit of flavor and was mostly the prosciutto bringing in flavor. Overall was tasty and really filling since there was so much cheese. Service was bad. What bothered me was when I wanted to redeem the free glass of wine deal the waiter didn't seem pleased. Not only that but it took over 45 mins for our cheeseboat to be served. After being seated for 30 mins, and seeing tables that came after us getting their cheeseboat served we checked in with our waiter and apparently he had the wrong order. He came back saying it will take 5 more mins, not admitting that he forgot our cheeseboat. What bothered me the most was he wasn't apologetic at all and disappeared after. We had to ask 2 other servers later to check on our cheeseboat which ended up coming out 15 mins after the first time we asked. The cheeseboat was good, but not worth the 45 min wait. read more

My bf and I came here last night for our valentine's day celebration and we thoroughly enjoyed it:. -Food: Bacon Adjaruli Khachapuri: it was good but really salty compared to the khachapuri I had had at another Georgian restaurant. It seems the cheese used here was saltier. The dish was still very good, especially because we asked for scallions to throw on it which made it more palatable but would prefer it less salty. -Imeruli kachapuri: very good. Much less salty than the cheeseboat= adjaruli khachapuri -Soup dumplings khinkali: very good. It is under the mains although I would probably consider it more of an appetizer based on the size. -Lamb kabab: not on their online menu but was in the restaurant. This was excellent. The meat was very well flavored and it was a good portion. This was the best dish by far. Highly recommend. -Napoleon:To start it was $13 which is really expensive for a napoleon as it is a simple dessert and does not require tremendous expertise nor fancy ingredients. Nevertheless, I was excited to try it after seeing their restaurant-posted pictures from 2016 where it looked well made and soft (as the center was indented after being cut). For this price I thought the piece would huge since, like I said, it is not an expensive dessert but it was just decent. In addition, once we finally tasted it, it was not well done; it was not a creme patisserie but a slightly grainy and rather sweet white cream. To top it off, the pastry sheets were not soft and slightly moist but instead were difficult to cut and we had to basically saw through layers to get edible portions. Needless to say, I am a napoleon enthusiast and do not recommend the napoleon here. -Ambiance: the ambiance was pretty and the music was decent at first. Then it seemed the bartender took over and made the music really loud to the point where it was difficult to talk to whomever you were with (I say the bartender because she also started dancing at the bar which drew my attention and made me think it was she who was responsible) . This was uncomfortable for dinner and I thought inappropriate. Also, the workers don't seem to have a theme to their clothes, meaning, they all seem to be able to wear whatever they want. This is ideally fine but makes it difficult to tell who is working there and who you can ask for help because they all look like they can be diners as well. I would rather at least the "all black" policies that most restaurant have so that you can better distinguish who works there. Overall: recommend the entrees, especially the lamb kebab. The ambiance was nice before the music was turned up too loudly. read more

I don't know what I can say about this place that hasn't already been said. The star of the show is a bread bowl full of butter and cheese. AND IT'S PHENOMENAL! Came here with an old friend to have the ultimate cheat meal and left with no regrets. We got the classic cheeseboat -- which is the cheese blend baked into the bread bowl and topped with an egg and butter. We swapped ours for truffle butter. It was rich, decadent, and I had to stop myself from eating the entire thing. We also ordered the mushroom dumplings which were light and came with a side of tzatziki, which was really refreshing. We also tried the drink specialty which I believe was a berry margarita. Super sweet and not that alcoholic tasting lol but it paired well with the meal. On a Sunday night it wasn't busy at all when we arrived, but started to fill out as the evening went on. Staff is friendly and attentive. This is a place everyone should try at least once. read more
