Evolution - Review - Williamsburg - New York - The Infatuation

"The 42 Hotel in Williamsburg has a second restaurant after Blackbird. Evolution is a tasting menu spot that “pays homage to Brooklyn’s rich culinary heritage.” It costs $175 for 8-10 courses that are named after neighborhoods: think “Dyker Heights Dim Sum” followed by “Marine Park Roast Beef,” but as little plates. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman

This New $100 luxury tasting experience in Brooklyn is an absolute must! Located inside the chic 42 hotel in Williamsburg, award wining Chef Eric Levine offers an 11-course tasting menu inspired by iconic Brooklyn neighborhoods. From the Brighton Beach Potato Knish to Dyker Heights Dim Sum and the Williamsburg steak that left us speechless, this is not your average dinner. It’s story telling through food, an unforgettable experience that’s absolutely worth it! The ambiance is elevated, artsy & intimate making it perfect for date nights or foodies lovers looking for their next hidden gem. 💸 $100 for 11 tasting course 🍸Drink menu available but not included ⚠️ Menus are seasonal and Chef LeVine will be releasing a new one soon so experience this one while you can!

I wanted to write this review the minute I got home from Evolution. But I also did not want to rush it. It was too amazing to be rushed. I usually do not rave about restaurants but this one is an exception . . because this was an experience. The menu was so thought out and researched and took us "through" the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Each course was better than the next. The first course literally took me out . .in a good way and had me yearning for more of this mushroom tart . .its something I am still thinking about today . .and would like it in an xlarge size next time . .it was so delish . and can't forget the goat balls that were perfectly paired with it.The smoked salmon melted in your mouth. Presentation was nothing I ever seen before. How they were able to come up with such unique visions for each dish . .well, I guess it comes with the incredible talent and skill that Chef Eric bring to every one of his dishes. So after some elevated "hot dog", pastrami on rye, pizza, dim sum, roast beef (which was so amazing just melted in my mouth), steak . . and remember these dishes were taking 10 levels up . . . I will post some pics so you can understand what I mean. My experience was topped off with delicious sorbet, then a cheesecake (which I tried to steal from my dining partner and she caught me) and an egg cream. Which I have never had and now search out on menus for . .the atmosphere was comfortable yet elegant . .the servers were very knowledgeable of each of the courses and were very attentive. While I do not usually find myself in Brooklyn often, but I will definitely be making the trip again to see what Chef Eric has up his sleeve . . My "experience" is a 10 out of 10. So if you have gotten this far on my review . . I suggest you go and try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

What an amazing experience! This tasting menu was delicious, creative and confident. You can really feel the love and attention Chef Eric puts into each course. My husband and I have experienced tasting menus all over the world. This is on par with some of the best! The thing we liked the most was that the food echoed fine dining establishments without ANY of the pretention. We are looking forward to bringing our parents to try soon!

I had the most spectacular meal at Evolution. A wonderfully thought out tasting menu that exceeded all of my expectations. The pace and progression were spot on and the story told through the menu was clear and unique. My fiancé and I have been to tasting menus in Chicago, Austin, and NYC, and this meal really impressed us. I would come back over and over again! Bravo!

We took a risk as there is not a lot online about this restaurant (which I think opened 4/30). It paid off. Every dish in the $100 tasting menu was at least great, if not exceptional. It's a steal for $100. Please note, however, that the atmosphere is quite relaxed and fun, instead of a more polished service experience you might expect with such a tasting menu. This was perfect for us.
