    Grassfed Burger
    Caleb C.

    We came here based on a recommendation from a friend who said the servers are super kind and knowledgeable. They were right, the service was incredible. There is a lot left to be desired about the food. We ordered a burger and it came out almost raw. The fries were burnt, and way too salty. The train car ambiance is fun for a quick drink at the bar but not quite the place you'd like to go for dinner or a date. It is also rather load given the design of the space so it will be difficult to talk to your party while dining.

    This is a cute spot that's cozy and has a good brunch. The menu is really small, so I would look at it before you go just to ensure there's something you like. The burger and the egg sandwich are both good and they have good cocktails

    Food is really good and the menu experience is quite interesting- I love that they're constantly changing it and I love the farm to table concept.. service is quite lovely here as well. Ambiance, GREAT! I do think the food is a little rich for me though, as a personal opinion. Maybe I just have a lighter palette.

    solid brunch spot with an interesting menu. was gonna go for the burger but saw the beef tongue hash and was glad i tried it. it was very flavorful and the eggs were beautiful but a bit heavy for me. on the other hand the gravlax was lighter and refreshing compared to lox. service is great and cute interior but seats were a bit sticky.

    One of the most memorable dinners I have had in Williamsburg, thanks to both the food and the incredible service. Our waiter Benjamin set the tone right away. He came to the table, unrolled white paper, and literally wrote out the menu for us, walking us through every dish with so much detail and enthusiasm. It felt personal, special, and set the stage for the meal to come. We started with the crudo, which was absolutely out of this world. Fresh, bright, and paired with the most insane garlicky dip in a little ramekin that we shamelessly saved to dunk bread into after. Next up, the Caesar salad. They called it "robust" and they were not lying. As a Caesar purist, I can confidently say the anchovy dressing was perfection. The sweet corn risotto was probably my least favorite. I expected it to be a little "cornier" (ha) and thicker in texture, but everything else more than made up for it. The brick chicken was a showstopper. However they flatten and crisp that bird, they brick the hell out of it and lock in every bit of flavor into the skin. Absolutely unreal. And dessert. I did not know ice cream could be this sinful. The Wendy's Ice Cream Sundae was unreal. Chocolate, cherries, bordeaux. It was decadent, nostalgic, and had me literally drooling at the table. If you want a dining experience that is both elevated and full of character, Diner is it. Benjamin made the night, the food blew us away, and I am already planning my return.

    Very cozy diner near ferry station. Has good brunch but also dinner vibes. Service is great and ambiance is even better. Stopped their for just a hot drink and some dessert-Liked my chocolate cake slice. Will defo return for dinner! A lil towards pricey side though.

    I literally wish i knew what some of the negative reviewers are talking about. This place was incredible! Our server, Charlie, was so attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. Their menu changes frequently so you can always expect to experience something new and delicious. Can't wait to return. Ambiance was beautiful. Music playlist was on point! Thank you for the wonderful dinner experience. Didn't photograph it but the cucumber and melon salad! Omggggg. A must try! Thanks for the recommendations, Charlie

    This is one of those restaurants that literally caught my eye as I was walking past. The exterior was interesting and peaking inside, I thought it was super cool. So I just had to try it for myself one day. I had the burger with coke and it hit the spot.

    I stopped at this place while I was in Brooklyn, my lunch was amazing! The hamburger was delicious and full of fries!!! I would say, a perfect American lunch experience since I was sitting at the counter. I really recommend this place!

    Diner never disappoints! I love going & camping out in their outdoor seating with my pup whenever the weather is nice. The menu is constantly evolving depending on what's in season - while I sometimes miss ordering something I've liked in the past, I always find something new to enjoy. The burger is delicious, but don't sleep on their salads - their revolving rotation of greens is always amazing & so flavorful. The staff & drinks are great as well!

Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.

When I randomly checked Resy, I found a lunch opening so decided to grab it. They do charge a fee to book a table with them, so for five people, it was $11.45 +$1.02 tax = $12.47. This is not applied towards your bill and I assume just a fee for using Resy. The vibe is very, dare I say Mad Men? Dark dim lighting, big booths, white tablecloths. We read the monkey bread was a must order so of course we had to try it. I adored the decadent fluffy truffle, cheese, bread combo, but I wasn't a huge fan of the sweetness. It was nice to try tho. I was pescatarian at the time, so didn't try the steak. But everyone seemed to enjoy it. Cocktails are a must. Our party enjoyed a nice variety. They are definitely pricey, but we were on vacation so it was go big or go home. Lol! Our server was great. Friendly and attentive. A fun spot for a boozy lunch. I just wish they didn't charge a fee for rezzies. Seems kinda nickel and dimey. REVIEW #4011

The pinwheel shape of the lasagna gives each bite that satisfying crispy edge. The fresh chrysanthemum leaves are topped with a mountain of parm, and the bright dressing just ties the whole dish together. The buffalo milk caramelle is a playful and memorable dish. Each candy-shaped pasta is coated with a sweet brown butter sauce and candied kumquats. I watched several videos on YouTube of their kitchen operations, and it is so impressive how they create each unique pattern on the pasta by hand. They were unfortunately sold out of the lobster by 7 pm, so we didn't get to try it. I would recommend booking an earlier dinner time to ensure that you get to order it if the lobster is a must. Other dishes were still phenomenal, including the Japanese sweet potatoes and the steak al limone, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their take on a tiramisu was a delightful end to our meal. It had just the right amount of sweetness, and the crunchy wafer layers added a nice crispy texture. Reservations definitely require some planning since they open up seven days in advance. My husband and I set an alarm to log onto OpenTable. As soon as the clock struck 9 am EST, we clicked the slot we wanted. If you're quick, your slot will be held for about 10 minutes on OpenTable while you complete booking. When we refreshed the page, the reservations were gone within a matter of seconds/minutes. I think they do accept walk-ins, but expect to line up early or wait quite a while. The restaurant space is warmly lit by candlelight at dinner, creating an intimate, cozy ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a special occasion. Service was stellar. As an avid cookbook collector, I was excited that I could purchase their cookbook, signed by chef Angie and chef Scott, at the restaurant. Best souvenir on this trip! I am excited to try recreating their recipes at home. I will definitely make it a priority to return to Don Angie and to check out their sister restaurant, San Sabino, the next time we are in Manhattan.
