My good friend and I went to this super cute, aesthetic restaurant and had such a lovely time. The whole place definitely gives vibes first in the best way perfect for a cute night out or a little treat yourself moment. For food, I ordered the smoked salmon rillettes with crispy potatoes, and my friend got the roasted chicken moulade. Everything tasted good, though the portion sizes were on the smaller side which I kind of expected for a New American style spot. Honestly, the highlight for me were the desserts. My friend and I shared an apple dessert with ice cream and a blueberry crumble, and both were so delicious, definitely the standout of the meal. The location is also super convenient if you're heading to a nearby music venue or bar which is exactly how we ended up here, making it a perfect pre-event dinner spot. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the food, but especially for the ambiance and aesthetic. It is a bit pricey for the portion sizes, but it's perfect for a cute dinner with a friend or a date when you're in the mood to treat yourself. read more

Meadowsweet is located within a short walk of the JMZ train station. Passing by several times but never stepping in, my husband and I made a date night here. Our evening began at 7 on a Friday and it wasn't too packed yet. As time went on, it became bustling. I took advantage of the restaurant week 3-course meal menu. Started with the octopus with chorizo, salmon as a main, and the flourless chocolate cake for the dessert. My partner ordered off the menu, the broccolini and the spiced duck breast, all very scrumptious! Starters: Octopus and chorizo was nice and smoky, broccolini was crispy and had hints of tanginess from the sauce. Mains: The salmon entree was nice and light - reminder that we're still in the summer season, whereas the duck was heavier in flavor and body, prepping us for the autumn weather. Dessert: flourpart of the 3-course meal was very rich and a bit too sweet to my liking. Overall a very enjoyable atmosphere and lovely staff! read more

4/5 - Would recommend, but try to avoid outdoor seating. We were seated outside, which wasn't ideal too many bugs made it a bit uncomfortable. If possible, request indoor seating. That said, the overall experience was fantastic. My mother-in-law was in town, and I took her to a live performance happening just across from the restaurant. We dined at Meadowsweet in Williamsburg bk, which has such a cool, laid-back vibe. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and the food truly impressed. The American Wagyu literally melts in your mouth....unreal. I sampled my mother-in-law's roasted chicken roulade, and it was packed with flavor. The salmon, cooked medium-well, was also amazing. Since it's Restaurant Month, we got to enjoy a great variety from the menu, and everything we tried was a hit. The cocktails were just as good balanced and refreshing. Overall, a great spot with elevated food and a great atmosphere. Just be sure to sit inside if you can! read more

Had dinner here recently. Sat at the bar and received good service from the bartender from California. We had the Salmon and Babette. We're hoping to get the Duck however it had just sold out before we ordered so will have to get it next time. We had the fluke tartare and Octopus for appetizers. Both were very good as were the cocktails. We will return to hopefully get the duck. read more

I've never done this before, but I must start this review with a significant warning: parking in the area is extremely limited. I would highly recommend that you take public transportation if public transit is an option available to you. Now that I have that out of the way, I've given Meadowsweet the highest possible stars because they deliver quality and excellence across all areas. I could not have been more pleased with the service level and the quality of my meal. On this particular occasion, brunch was on the menu, I must say, I was impressed that they have a very eclectic menu with a very farm-to-table experience. To see fried green tomatoes on a brunch menu in Williamsburg was a bit surprising, but I delighted in every bite. In the final summation, Meadowsweet deserves high marks, and if they keep delivering variety, exceptional service, and quality, I'm confident they will continue to receive applause. read more

This place was too good not to write a review! We went during Restaurant Week and everything was delicious! I had the cavatelli nero as a starter and it could have easily been a meal. The seafood was fresh and so flavorful. For my entree, I had the burger. It was so JUICY and the bun was super buttery. For dessert, i had the flourless chocolate cake. I was skeptical, but pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The cocoa crunch and coconut anglaise definitely elevated the whole experience. Lastly, I did the cocktail tasting menu, which I thought was pretty cool. This is probably the best restaurant week experience I've had. Also, service was great. This place is first date, girls' night, and group dinner approved read more

We went to Meadowsweet for an event to try some of their tasty dishes. The inside was very open and bright, with a fully stocked bar. We tried Zero Proof drinks, Phony Negroni, and Al's Classic N/A Golden. They were both pretty good, but especially the Phony Negroni was really good! The first dish we tried was Crispy Baby Artichokes, which was delightful. I haven't really been a big fan of artichokes, but I will happily have this dish again and again! Then, Tagliatelle with chanterelle, truffle, and parmesan. Pasta was cooked just right, with an amazing truffle aroma and flavor. Next was Spanish Octopus that was cooked perfectly, with a note of smoky flavor. It had a nice kick from harissa without being too spicy. The last savory dish was Spiced Duck Breast. Tender and juicy, not too chewy, but the perfect texture. Crust of the duck was maybe my favorite bit. Delicious! Dessert was Flourless Chocolate Cake. It had the perfect gooey center, which was the best! So chocolatey without being overwhelming. We had such amazing time here. Everything we had was freakin' amazing! We will definitely go back for more delicious food in a near future. read more

The restaurant is located in a lovely neighborhood in Williamsburg, perfect for walking around in the summer. Aware that they used to have a Michelin star, I went in with somewhat heightened hopes but also not too expectant -- then was surprised with an incredible meal start to finish. The whisky cocktail was really well balanced, clean and on point, crafted better than most bars. The octopus chorizo and spiced duck breast were even more delicious; from the first mouthwatering wafts when the dishes are placed on the table to the wonderful blend of flavors, everything delivered perfectly. When you ask for the bill, it comes with a small coconut dessert that's warm and chewy. I savored every bite of it and still think about it now. Beginning to end everything delivered! Even the leftovers I brought home and shared apparently tasted very good. Would strongly recommend this place to anyone who is considering going. read more

tried most of the menu and loved it! few are a must order and some are not, overall a great pick for a big group so you can try their extensive appetizer menu the food: must orders are definitely the truffle pasta, tuna tartare, fried green tomatoes, burrata, and duck. the pasta is so evidently freshly made, the tuna tartare is seasoned beautifully, the green tomatoes are my personal favorite by far! you can skip the chicken, fish, and octopus but they were all fine. the drinks: sake was smooth and champagne was crisp! the space: dimly lit so kind of hard to see what you're eating the service: it was ok - didn't really check in and not great at communicating read more

Those who've read my prior reviews know that Brooklyn's Broadway is one of my favorite thoroughfares in the city. In addition to the grittier sections under the J/Z, the quieter Western end of the street near the East River hosts a number of notable eateries, of which Meadowsweet is probably the most well-regarded. We both wholeheartedly agreed that the broccolini appetizer was one of the best bites we had this year. Served with sautéed breadcrumbs for a bit of crunch and a healthy dose of parmesan and (quality) butter, it was decadent yet not overpowering and set a strong tone for the meal. The vegetarian main was a bit disappointing - it's a bit of a hodgepodge medley of vegetables including cauliflower, some varieties on hummus and two falafels. The very generous garnishing of dill was overpowering, and I just didn't know where to place the dish in my head. It seems like perhaps a selection of small plates is the best move here, as it's otherwise a charming option for a more upscale dinner on the "Southside." read more

Meadowsweet is a cute little restaurant, perfect for a date night or an intimate night out with a girlfriend. I read somewhere that it used to have a Michelin star. I must say, the service is still reflective of that. I wish I got our waitress's name but she was so attentive and sweet. I was having a dry cough due to the dry air and change in Fall weather and at the end of our meal, she gave me some hot water with lemon and honey which really soothed my throat! The only reason why I am taking one star off is the food. Granted, we weren't that hungry and only ordered two dishes so I will come back to try more! We got one of their most popular dishes - the Spanish octopus and chorizo. The octopus itself was cooked nicely but I wasn't a fan of the lentils and not sure if it paired well with the chorizo. The duck breast however was chef's kiss! I would definitely come back for this alone, from the tenderness of the duck to the sweet potato mash. They also do make a great espresso martini! One thing I must give them credit for is they love up to its farm to table claim - everything was really fresh. read more

Meadowsweet - I have a bone to pick with you. I feel this experience could have been great, but instead I'm giving you three stars and feeling like I need to return to give things another shot after reading all the other reviews. First, everyone I interacted with was great...except for our waiter. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt - maybe he was having a tough day, but it felt like he was going through the motions with little thought. It's not that he was rude, it's just that everyone else we encountered was so nice and he came across extremely dismissive to the point we found it noticeable. Second, I understand that Meadowsweet is the kind of place you go, relax, have a drink, and slow down. But the pacing we experienced was not great. We didn't make a big order and were there before it really started to fill up. Our appetizer came out quickly and was good, but then we waited 20-30 minutes for our mains. It was to the point where I wondered if they'd forgotten about us. Finally, my main. I ordered vegetarian - chickpea fritters & winter vegetables. What I got was 3 small falafels and veggies. It was tasty...but fine. I get that a falafel is a fritter but something about the description made me think there'd be a bit more creativity and for an entrée I found this to be small. To that point, for the price, I expected more especially when the burger is the same amount and looked fanstastic. So yeah, all in all we left feeling like our experience was kind of mediocre but that Meadowsweet had the potential to be great and the other reviews confirm that inkling. I just don't know if we'll actually go back. read more

This was some of the best food I've had in a long time. The burrata and stone fruit was amazing!!!!!

Really nice staff at this place. It's a simple place with a comfortable aesthetic, which is nice for maybe a holiday meal with the family. The food was good, not great.

Below average with 90s pop hip-hop hits playing in the background and a lively crowd. Across the board, the food (including both steaks) was just average and the service was non-existent.

Located in Williamsburg, this charming restaurant is American style with a Mediterranean flare. We were greeted by the most friendly and helpful hosts and our servers were the same. The service here really is excellent. The food is delicious as well. We started off with the heirloom tomato salad, the burrata and stone fruit, as well as the fried green tomato. My favorite was the fried green tomato. For entree, my grandfather ordered the salmon, which he enjoyed. My grandmother, mother, husband and father ordered the duck. My sister's boyfriend and I ordered the chicken. It was mouth wateringly good. My sister ordered the zucchini cake and heirloom tomatoes. She also enjoyed it. For dessert, we tried the flourless chocolate cake, vanilla panna cotta, and the raspberry rhubarb. I would for sure come back again. This dining experience is the way all diners should enjoy :) read more

Had a FANTASTIC dinner at Meadowsweet over Memorial Day weekend! The meal started on a high note - the Spanish octopus and chorizo appetizer was my favorite dish overall. The chorizo added a surprising spice, and the octopus itself was amazing. The baby artichokes were a lighter, tasty dish with some acidity to balance what turned into a pretty heavy meal. For mains, the duck was excellent. So juicy and full of flavor. And the American wagyu was just as good, cooked perfectly and served with a delicious purée. Between the amazing food and the wonderful service, I am so happy that I stopped by! read more

Food: a Michelin starred restaurant where the food stands up to the reputation. Interesting dishes for brunch that didn't venture too far out of its comfort zone. Chicken sandwich was extremely moist and crispy, with an interesting green sauce that added a touch of brightness and saltiness to the sandwich...one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami duck hash was salty in all the right ways with soft potatoes and a lovely parsley salsa verde. The herby flavors of the parsley salsa verde cut the rich saltiness of the duck and brought the whole dish together. Fresh squeezed orange juice accompanied champagne and also made of a very tasty mimosa. Would definitely want to visit again and try the dinner service. Service: great service with friendly neighborhood charm. Didn't feel too stuffy and was a refreshing take on a Michelin starred establishment. Ambience: very warm and cozy. A place you could dress up or dress down and would be a great place for a date or a get together with friends. read more

I cannot rave enough about this restaurant, the food, or the staff! I walked in on a Monday evening, still wearing my scrubs from work, finished with an 84 hour work week. The hostess was so welcoming and kind! Initially I chose to sit in the very nice outdoor seating area. It really is great! I didn't have one specific server exactly. I was mostly helped by the hostess, the bar staff, and a few other staffers. Everyone was so nice! This is a Michelin star restaurant, and they didn't pay any mind that I wasn't dressed up in any way. I started with the burrata, which is served with mashed peas, pea shoots, avocado, sourdough crisp, and of course burrata. It was refreshing and had many flavors packed into a small dish. Perfect to start a meal, not too heavy or overwhelming. I had several cocktails. The staff was very knowledgeable in helping me choose. Also, I'm not a fan of dainty little glasses and prefer tall or rocks glasses. One of the cocktails I ordered came in a "dainty" glass and they were accommodating enough to change it for me. All of the cocktails were creative and full of interesting ingredients and they all tasted great! Partway through my meal, the temp dropped. The hostess asked me, without being prompted, if I would like to move inside. I thought that was so observant and on point, because I had become quite cold after sunset! I had their wagyu steak, prepared expertly, accompanied by pave potato, roasted peppers and mushroom, and a spinach garlic purée. You can tell the chef has spent a lot of time building his flavor profiles. For desert I had the flourless chocolate cake and caramel ice cream, which they comped for me because I worked such a long week. I got two little coconut macaroons too that were scrumptious! It's places like this, and the people who work here, who make New York the greatest city in the world. read more

Food - 3 Value - 3.5 Service / Ambiance - 5 I heard wonderful things about Meadowsweet 2 years ago and never got around to trying it then. We went for dinner a few months ago and it doesn't seem like I ultimately missed that much waiting. We ordered a handful of the starters and 1-2 mains for our group of 6, intentionally under-ordering because we wanted to check out another place later on. Yet, still rang us up $40+pp without any drinks - unfortunately a ding on value. THE FOOD - We ordered the Roman Gnocchi & Braised Duck Ragu, Burrata & Autumn Squash, Cavatelli Nero, Spiced Buck Breast, Roasted Sweet Steam Cauliflower, and 1-2 other dishes I can't fully remember. I personally liked the variety of ingredients in each dish, and the emphasize on fresh pieces such as ricotta on top, or light vegetables. Unfortunately, none of the dishes was particularly memorable in hindsight, compared to other similar styles of restaurants I've been to. I do think it's still worth giving Meadowsweet a shot and trying out the food - perhaps next time I'll get the bavette or sea bass for something new. SERVICE - Staff was awesome- we arrived a bit before our reservation, exhausted from a day exploring parts of the city with guests, and they offered to let us sit down early even though dinner service wasn't ready yet. Much much appreciated. read more

Food tastes fresh, is cooked well, and presented aesthetically. Olive oil bread is moist with honey butter on top makes your mouth happy. Octopus and chorizo appetizer has a nice chipotle and a bit smoky flavor. The duck breast is excellent. Thickly cut portion of breasts gives a good bite, nicely spiced, with a sweet potato puree. The sea bass could've had a more buttery texture. Service was prompt and attentive. Decor has elements of farm house and brick, all tastefully done. This is a solid restaurant serving familiar American flavors with fresh ingredients. read more

Amazing tasting food, just lacking in substance. I'll preface this by saying facing, small plates is not my preference in dinner. I am generally a large eater who can appreciate good food. But if I am left too hungry with my wallet empty, it's hard for me to leave satisfied. We came with a group of six and ordered that many dishes to start. The waiter suggested we order more to make sure we were not still hungry by the end of the night. To his credit - he understood the portion sizes well. Despite paying over 30 for scallops, we only got two of them. Of course we understood that this should have been shared only between 1-2 people given the size. The gnocchi and other noodle dishes were amazing, nonetheless. They also offered us a small dessert for one of our party member's birthdays - a nice treat to end the night! If there was some simple bread or other filling app that would have made it perfect. read more

Came for a catch up brunch with my bestie and hit restaurant week. WHAT. A. DEAL. We got the crispy baby artichokes, chorizo empanadas, duck pastrami hash, meadowsweet cheeseburger and the housemade ice cream and sorbet. Everything was phenomenal- the crispy artichokes was the star for me but every dish was phenomenal. We split everything and by the time we started on the second entree (cheeseburger), we each could only take one bite. The dessert was the perfect way to end of the meal. We rolled out of there with boxes of leftovers and believe me, I never have leftovers. The staff was also so attentive. My table was a bit rocky and before I even said anything, Gabriella was on it. She watched over us and really was took care of us. I can't wait to come back! read more

I like Meadowsweet's brunch but not all dishes are very memorable. Green tomatoes are delicious. The duck poached eggs and chicken sandwich are ok. Roasted potatoes should be crisper and side salad should have extra dressing. French toast and burger are good. Cocktails are very good but if you order orange juice, the appox 8 oz glass comes half full. This is unacceptable! I really like their dinner menu... Crispy artichokes and the duck are two of my favorite dishes. Sometimes they have venison and it's very good read more

Food (3.7/5) - If I could summarize this experience, I would say the food was generally salty. - We ordered the olive oil bread rolls. While the rolls had a really nice, fluffy texture, they definitely added way too much salt. The salt sprinkled on top was also not necessary as well. The butter was nice and creamy, but I wish they added some level of sweetness or acidity to the rolls to try to balance the saltiness of it. If you're going to order the rolls, make sure to dust off as much of the salt as possible. - I'm not sure if it's because the olive oil rolls were salty and that's what I ate first, which affected my palate for the rest of the dishes, but I found everything else to be a tad too salty as well. - We ordered the Spanish octopus. I liked the acidity of whatever the octopus was laid on top of, but I also thought the octopus was a tad salty. I wish both of the components blended together a bit more harmoniously. Instead, it kind of felt like I was eating two separate elements. Other than that, the octopus did have a nice chewy, texture to it. - The burrata dish was pretty good. I think I enjoyed it the most out of all the dishes we ordered. The pasta was nice and chewy, the cheese was nice and creamy, and the meat(?) was well-seasoned - The crispy baby artichokes was also nice, but kind of forgettable. - The raspberry rhubarb crumble was really nice. Every component of this dish blended pretty well with each other. It was crumbly, tart, soft, chewy, and creamy (from the ice cream). Great dessert! Service (5/5): - Service was amazing. They kept checking on us every once in awhile. My server was honestly awesome and very helpful. No complaints here. Ambiance (5/5): - Perfect for date night or catching up with a friend! - The vibe is romantic and intimate. It's a bit dimly lit with small tables, allowing for very intimate conversations. I would probably come here again, but I would want to try different dishes or skip out on the olive oil rolls altogether. read more
