The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner

"What It Is: A good-looking restaurant/bar in East Williamsburg with a coffee shop up front Perfect For: First/Early In The Game Dates Up front at Bar Beau, there’s a coffee counter, and, at night, the back room is a restaurant/bar. Just go through a little hallway and you’ll find yourself in a nice space with a long marble bar, a bunch of tables, and a skylight. They’re serving a limited menu right now, and we stopped by recently to try some shishito peppers and a burger. The burger was small and a little pricey, but also pretty good. The Verdict: Once they start serving their full dinner menu, we’ll be back for another meal here. In the meantime, it’s worth stopping by for a cocktail if you’re in the area." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
