Cecily

"This little restaurant in Greenpoint offers a relaxed atmosphere with a thoughtful wine list and bold, hearty cooking. Highlights include fried rabbit with ramp agrodolce and pan-roasted Berkshire pork chop." - MICHELIN Guide

"What happens when alums from Estela and The Four Horsemen come together under one roof? Only good things. This little restaurant in Greenpoint has all the makings of a neighborhood essential, thanks to its relaxed staff, an impressively lengthy and thoughtful wine list, and food that goes far beyond the usual meat-and-cheese offerings of a bar. Boldy seasoned and perfectly pitched, the no-nonsense cooking is at once hearty and satisfying. Fried rabbit with ramp agrodolce is a meal on its own, but you’ll also want to order some thick toast piled on with mussels and pancetta and served in a knockout Calabrian chili butter. Any lingering appetites can finish off with a very shareable and very satisfying pan-roasted Berkshire pork chop." - Michelin Inspector

"The wine bar in Greenpoint serves the kind of food we eat in fantasies about dining al fresco by the ocean while draped in cashmere—like we imagine Meryl Streep does on Sunday evenings. And you'll find dreamy bites, like a phenomenal plate of gildas, featuring three skewered boquerones in a rich olive oil, and a mackerel toast made with buttery slabs of house-pickled fish. But this is also a north Brooklyn establishment, with a north Brooklyn crowd. Located in a former art gallery with trapezoidal angles and a yet-to-open upstairs loft, Cecily may be draped in cashmere but it’s also wearing a killer pair of vintage leather boots. Come here when you want to impress your date with nice things, without going to a stuffy restaurant. " - Will Hartman, Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Sonal Shah, Tiffany Yannetta

"We know, we know, another opening in Greenpoint. But we’re actually pretty excited about this one, because Cecily is from a couple of NYC all-stars, including a former sommelier from Estela, and alums of Four Horsemen, LaLou, and Jupiter. Plus, it’s located in a former art gallery. Expect a concise menu of seasonal produce-driven plates, like chicory salad with pine nuts and honeynut squash with burrata." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
