    Meadowsweet is well-known as a 1-star Michelin restaurant with reasonable & affordable price. It’s not like any other fine dining Michelin restaurants, but a lovely place in the neighborhood for weekend brunch. The decor is bright and modern with cozy ambiance and lots of greens. There isn’t a great variety of options on their menu and we got Doughunts, Crispy Artichokes Portobello Mushroom, Truffle & Fontina Toast and Duck Pastrami to share with a group of three. The food was overall decent and flavorful, especially the toast and pastrami. The toast was satisfying with rich truffle smell and creamy cheese. The confit duck in pastrami was soft, moist and perfectly went with the sauce. Friends who recommended us Meadowsweet told us their dinner, especially the duck breast is the best, but we visited for brunch so we might plan to visit again.

    Disappointment experience! I made a reservation for December 24 with the idea of ​​taking my partner to a Restaurant with Michelin star to celebrate Christmas on our first trip to New York (we are from Paris) and the level was very far from what we expected. The reservation was at 20:30 (time we arrived) but when entering the restaurant a waiter tells us that our table was not ready yet and if we could wait at the bar since our table was busy. Curious situation, knowing that we had booked towards weeks and that night there was a Christmas menu. Also during time of waiting nobody proposed nor an appetizer or anything. It was as if no one will notice our presence. Then we went to the table and a really friendly waiter takes us the order. The entrees were good not to be because of the huge hair in my partner's scallops. The waiter quickly apologizes and they change the plate. Then we went to the main ones. A waitress is approaching with the desserts and we tell him that we have not eaten the main ones so this error in the service cost us another 30 minutes of waiting to have our dishes. And then the dessert, without more ... The service was messy The food is too abundant that we could not finish our dishes (they were not refined and nothing near the level of this type of restaurants) The most remarkable detail of this "experience" was that as much I as my partner spent the night and the day after decomposed of the stomach !!! We can only highlight the good will and attention of the waiter who has not charged us wine and coffee. A detail to remember All this for a note of $ 220. I do not recommend this place. Is not at the level which is qualified by Michelin There was no kind of Christmas atmosphere despite the fact that the menu was intended to be like its price. Lack of precision and very banalth flavors. This criticism has no courage to attack but to express my experience as a client of this beautiful restaurant that differs between photos and reality.

    Very fresh ingredients with perfect spicing... Brunch was delicious and they swapped out an ingredient for me due to allergies! Cute space with outdoor seating

    Came here for Sunday brunch. It’s a very cute place with great atmosphere, and it gets busy very quickly. I had the chorizo omelette which was good. The mimosa with fresh squeezed OJ is also good. All in all it’s a good, casual place to come for brunch.

    I like Meadowsweet’s brunch but not all dishes are very memorable. Green tomatoes are delicious. The duck poached eggs and chicken sandwich are ok. Roasted potatoes should be crisper and side salad should have extra dressing. French toast and burger are good. Cocktails are very good but if you order orange juice, the appox 8 oz glass comes half full. This is unacceptable! I really like their dinner menu… Crispy artichokes and the duck are two of my favorite dishes. Sometimes they have venison and it’s very good.

    The best meal we had in Brooklyn. Great service, strong & tasty drinks, original delicious dishes. The melon & prosciutto salad alone is worth going here - so unexpectedly delicious. Burger was perfect: tender, juicy, flavorful. Chicken sammy was the same: just delicious. No complaints, no room for improvement. Just go & enjoy life.

    Had a wonderful brunch at Meadowsweet this weekend. The food was fantastic, the service was great (we had a server on brunch for the 1st time and the manager was supportive in backing him up seamlessly) and the atmosphere was beautiful. I could eat there all the time and would highly recommend it.

    Came for brunch. Great atmosphere and plenty of seating, although reservations are still highly recommended. I really enjoyed the empanadas, but found the duck pastrami sandwich too rich. A good spot if you're in the neighbourhood

    My partner and I had went to Meadowsweet for our anniversary. The fried green tomato and duck were the stars of the show. The chicken was also a delicious dish. While I personally would not order the shrimp salad again, it was still very good and nothing negative that I would call out. We were sat relatively close to a belligerent man which making dinner difficult to enjoy. However, the service was truly amazing and the manager went out of their way to make sure that we still had a special night and moved us to the bar for dessert.

    We attended Meadowsweet yesterday evening for my Fiancé's 29th birthday The staff and environment were both warm and welcoming. Our waitress was knowledgeable, and quick to offer recommendations for their most popular starters. For our starters we went with the Crispy baby artichoke, and the Spanish octopus & Chorizo. While the artichoke was light and refreshing, the plump and generous octopus stole the show. We were hesitant to try the Olive oil rolls, only because its easy to fill up on bread, but we caved and got them anyway. They arrived warm, freshly baked, and with a side of honey butter. Well worth the indulgence. We wanted to do something special, and we asked for a recommendation for a nice red wine to go with the Wagyu Bavette entrée. Our waitress brought us 2 distinct options, and ultimately settled on a lovely 2016 Spanish red blend that paired perfectly with the tightly marbled and, rare cuts of beef. The combination of American wagyu matched with the dry red wine evoked that pleasant, fuzzy puckering sensation on the tongue, that might be familiar to those who have had a dry aged steak. For dessert, we settled on something a little lighter, the seasonal sorbet with particularly delicious coconut macaroons. The staff surprised us with a complimentary glass of Champaign for the occasion, and we finished off the night happy and looking forward to return to try their brunch.

    Overall excellent experience. Only a couple of slight misses. Salmon entree was a touch dry, and cauliflower bed that came with it was eh. Aside from that, everything was delicious. Empanadas, tuna tartare, salmon latke apps were fantastic. Duck entree was juicy. Desserts were good. Cocktails were vibrant and well thought out. The standout for me though was the wagyu steak. Medium-rare. Cooked to perfection. The potato pave that accompanies it was 🤌 . Honestly I would go back and order that every time.

    This place was incredible, from the food to the incredible staff. Everything including our appetizers (highly recommend crispy baby artichokes!) were perfectly cooked and delicious. Duck breast, chicken and wagyu were absolutely amazing. Not to mention the incredible cocktails👍🏻 would highly recommend this restaurant and will be revisiting very soon!

    Worth leaving Manhattan for 😜 the cavatelli + sausage was delicious the chicken for mains just as good. Highly recommend getting a bunch of starters to share. And the homemade dinner buns take you back to your childhood.

    Had a wonderful dinner with friends here two nights ago. We ordered quite a few starters and they were all great. The cavatelli reigned supreme and the manchego croquettes pulled up the rear (great, but just fried cheese balls). Must order the olive oil rolls! Mains were delicious, burger, salmon, tagliatelle and chicken. The cocktails stole the show for me. Inventive and delicious. I highly recommend the Rebel Girl. Noise level was quite high so would just keep that in mind.

    Nice atmosphere, good service. The menu changes regularly. I thought the appetizers were better than the mains. The pasta appetizer was outstanding and one of the most perfectly cooked pasta I've had. The chicken roulade was so moist and juicy. The duck could have been rendered a bit more. Overall delicious and creative dishes.

  • 5/5 Juan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious. Great service. Great atmosphere. Very classy spot, Michelin rated. I don't really understand the phrase "Ladies who Lunch" but this feels like that kind of spot. It's good. Real good. I want to come back and eat dinner here soon. I feel like it must be awesome too. Great first experience here tho

    Absolutely amazing! Quite possibly the best meal of 2022. For starters, I recommend the fried green tomatoes. Simply the perfect amount of tartness with a crunchy shell swimming in a tangy ranch dressing. The baby artichoke heart salad was delicious, perfect pairing of roasted goodness, peppery arugula to lemony freshness. My main I had the meadowsweet cheeseburger while my wife ordered the roasted butternut squash. Highly highly recommend the butternut squash, never have I wanted to eat butternut squash so much more then a burger. Both were delicious and everything on the menu probably is. Finally for desserts, we had the flourless chocolate cake and the blueberry crumble. Again it was another home run. I’m certain everything here is nothing short of perfect.

    One of the best burgers ever! We went for brunch and got the burger and fries. The burger is really tasty and juicy, and price very reasonably! The bacon is also delicious, matches perfectly with the burger :) I will go back as soon as I am back in New York!

    Meadowsweet has the best duck I have ever tasted in my life. All the dishes are well balanced with an abundance of components which compliment each other. Service is great and items are well portioned. Must eat in Williamsburg!

    One of those restaurants where it’s impossible for anything to be cooked badly. Really loved the flourless chocolate cake and the duck. Olive oil butter rolls were also solid.

    I met friends here for my birthday brunch. The service was top notch, the staff was attentive and friendly and kept note of all of our various food allergies/preferences. The food is next level delicious. I loved the duck hash. The cocktails are also excellent. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel special and celebrated on my birthday. I will be coming back here based on this service alone. Highly recommend.

    Nice interior and pleasant staff, but the menu is pricey. Portions are good. Shishito peppers and bread rolls were amazing, while the entrees (duck breast, cauliflower) were good.

    Everything was perfect! Service, atmosphere and the food. We had an amazing food experience. Wagyu was 🤤A value for money Michelin star in the heart of Brooklyn!

  • 4/5 Julia 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, but while the dishes were tasty, they lacked that special something to leave a lasting impression. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was decent, but it didn't entirely compensate for the overall feeling of emptiness in the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Aliaa B. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and wonderful staff. The octopus starter was delicious. The duck and chicken entrees were tasty. Rhubarb dessert is a must try.

  • 4/5 Kim H. 1 year ago on Google
    .. aside from my Gorgeous Girlfriend this was a Nice dining experience due to the atmosphere of the restaurant but more so the quality and taste of food! - “BiG” compliments to the Chef who made these dishes with a lot of flavor and the bartenders who made my drink with CARE🙂 side note: place is a little pricey but a great spot for friends or a date!

  • 5/5 C W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing brunch and kind service, would definitely go back. The donuts are a must have! My duck confit hash was incredible and friend’s french toast looked delicious!

  • 5/5 D C. 11 months ago on Google
    Meadowsweet's brunch is a must-try! The warm ambiance and friendly service make you feel right at home. The fontina egg and white truffle toast was fantastic, the bread was perfectly toasted and crispy and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The omelette with mushrooms, asparagus, and goat cheese was really good, light and fluffy. They have a great selection of drinks, including cocktails, wine, and beer. I would definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Daniela B. 1 year ago on Google
    A delightful experience. The space was crowded, but we arrived on time for our reservation and we were seated right away. I was pleased to see the prices were reasonable considering the restaurant has a Michelin star. Everything on the menu looked very appetizing. But we decided for the little gem salad, the burrata, the zucchini cake and the wagyu bavette. While we waited we enjoyed our cocktails, which were really good, although the presentation of one of them wasn't great. I would say the blue plastic straw cheapened the look. Anyway, our apps arrived timely and I have to say the burrata was exquisite. It felt light and the flavours were balanced. The gem salad was also great. The zucchini bread definitely had a strong Mediterranean mix of spices and the texture felt great to me, some crispiness opposite to the juiciness of the rest of the ingredients. What I was not so impressed about, unexpectedly, was the wagyu beef entree. We ordered it medium well and I was expecting some tenderness, however, it was rather tough and even chewy. So when our waiter (also wonderful), asked how everything was, I mentioned I wasn't too happy it, almost reluctantly. He immediately offered us to ask the kitchen to prepare a new one so I agreed. He bought us another one back in almost no time and it was better. Still not the star of the night. I must say, the atmosphere was nice but a little loud due to the openness and the crowd. Great for large parties. Overall, very good experience, excellent service, and great value. Here's to another star!

    A very very happy-making place. It's a bit pricey, but hey, this is Williamsburg, so what d'you expect? That said, ambience is great, the food is impeccably good, the staff is friendly, and there is Good Wine, so yeah, it's all good. Tip - get a whole bunch of small plates and share, it's the best way to check everything out!

  • 5/5 Arthur Nen (. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience serving great food. Ambiance is quaint and chique, service was great and the food was delicious. Portions were fairly sizable, and despite sharing appetizers/desserts across the table and each getting their individual entrees we all left very stuffed!

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 1 year ago on Google
    I came to Meadowsweet to celebrate my birthday and I’m so glad I did! The experience was absolutely perfect! Lovely decor, kind staff, and delicious food. You can truly see why they’re given a Michelin Star each year. My entire party enjoyed their mains and every starter we ordered. I cannot wait to be back!

  • 4/5 Amy M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best brunch spots places in Williamsburg! Unpretentious ambiance with great staff and solid menu, nothing groundbreaking but yummy classics. Also one Michelin ⭐️

  • 5/5 Carolyn R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing!! We went in Mid August, 2021. Luckily, the restaurant has ample accommodations for COVID; we were able to eat outside. We booked a reservation ahead of time, but if you are eating early in the evening, it certainly is not necessary. The buns were SOOO good, especially warm with the flakey salt. We got the burrata as an appetizer because it was in season, and the green goddess dressing was heavenly! The salmon and duck (our mains) were cooked to perfection. We had two lovely desserts as well to finish off our meal!! The staff was exceptionally kind, and we were even able to meet the chef (and ask him questions!). If you are looking for a reasonable, delicious, Michelin starred place in NYC, Meadowsweet is the place to go! I would absolutely recommend making the trip and stopping by.

  • 5/5 Jason K. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful neighborhood spot with casual fine dining. Loved the cocktails, the fried artichoke salad and the cauliflower were memorable and must-haves (I’m not vegetarian).

  • 4/5 Emma C. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    The food was very good and of good quality, and I really enjoyed my cocktail! The restaurant was very cozy and lively. I understand they had a michelin star in the past but I don’t think they have a current one. I wasn’t really excited about anything on the menu but I think it’s supposed to change everyday. I ordered a sea bass entree and the fish really was perfect. My biggest qualm is a little petty, but after ordering our meal the server asked if we would like rolls with honey butter…. and DUH, I would love some bread for the table. What none of us knew was that this little plate of rolls added an additional $12 to our bill. I didn’t go into this restaurant expecting my meal to be cheap, I just felt that that was a bit sneaky. Of course, $12 is not a lot, I’m not completely out of touch, it was just a surprise.
