European-inspired brasserie serving duck, pasta, and craft cocktails
"At this Michelin-starred Williamsburg spot, guests routinely reserve weeks ahead for chef Chris Cipollone’s crown of duck, and the team asks for advance notice if you’ll need a high chair, have a stroller or a wheelchair, or have a serious allergy; they also note that last-minute party-size changes—say, six to four or two becoming three—are hard to accommodate during Thanksgiving service." - ByAndrea Strong
"At first glance, this Italian restaurant in a converted bank on Broadway might look like a country club for the old-money millionaires of Williamsburg, but it’s actually more of a casual-fancy spot where 30-somethings in designer jeans bring their toddlers for Tuesday night sundaes. Yes, you can order four-figure bottles of wine and a dry-aged roast duck here, but you can also get a few glasses of wine and a half-dozen oysters. Put on your best outfit, and get ready for a truly fun night, starting with a top-notch martini poured into a chilled glass tableside." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, arden shore
"On a rowdy Williamsburg corner, this calm, confident room can be disarming; industry vet John Winterman has made it his mission to create the most welcoming dining destination, perfect for every celebration, with cocktails, food, and hospitality that truly take care of you." - Edward Barsamian
"Headed by John Winterman and native New Yorker, Chef Chris Cipollone, this haven is set within a striking, limestone-clad building in South Williamsburg and features sleek ash wood and mosaic tile flooring, exposed red brick walls, and widely spaced tables." - The MICHELIN Guide
"John Winterman and Christopher Cippollone’s brasserie earns one star. Expect souffle cakes with seaweed butter, duck mortadella, and lobster ravioli. Dishes run $12 to $225 a dish." - Eater Staff
