    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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."

    Spiced Duck Breast

    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.

    This was some of the best food I've had in a long time. The burrata and stone fruit was amazing!!!!! The roast chicken was also very juicy and savory and the passion fruit sorbet was some of the best sorbet I've have in the states. Every thing I had was absolutely delicious, the staff was friendly and we never had to ask them for anything. I cannot wait to come back.

    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. The starters were quite good in the broccolini and salad. The American waygu was underwhelming and would not recommend as the meat was not the greatest quality unfortunately.

    Jen E.

    One of our favorite new finds in Brooklyn. We had no idea what we were walking into for dinner (we had brunch here before) and let me just say: MAKE A RESERVATION. Food was cooked to perfection. The duck breast is amazing and the sides we got...just....go. We'll be coming back for sure.

    Didn't eat here, only stopped for a drink. Good vibes, relaxing, good drinks (had the Thyme After Time), great service. A little steep, but where isn't these days?

    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 :)

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.
