Suraj Savalia: Cute outdoor seating on a quieter Williamsburg street. Coffee cocktail is delicious with brunch!
Eater: At Meadowsweet Polo, Dobkin treats octopus like a bathing beauty in this hyper-attractive presentation flavored with chorizo, basil oil, and thin strips of glistening red pepper. Read more.
Caroline Schulweis: Had a great meal here. Comfy and stylish decor. The scallop ceviche (pictured) and octopus were delicious!

Andrew Adams: Amazing bread and dips. Figs too
Michael Anthony: This place deserves even more hype than it has. Great space, service and most importantly amazing food. Bread and dips to start is a must. Also got lamb meatballs, green rice and half chicken.
Eliane Kabkab: The worst service I’ve witnessed at a restaurant in New York. A lot of rules, and pettiness from the staff. Will not be coming again

Michael Anthony: Braised lamb, pita and labneh w/ grilled bread were amazing. Definitely with checking out.
The New Yorker: “Glasserie’s convivial ethos feels in keeping with the way we like to eat now: gone is the three-course meal, and, instead, appetizers become entrées, and back again, all of it customizable.” Read more.
Claire: The menu descriptions do not do justice to how amazing and complex the dishes are. Your ideal meal: radishes w/ feta, new potatoes w/ Spanish cheese & soft egg, rice w/ yogurt and the lamb belly. Wow.

Courtney W: Get the lamb rice with green and white sauce...its cheap and veryyyy good. Great the next morning, too!
Nicole Lebenson: This place is straightforward, simple and delicious. My husband and I get a lamb, chicken and falafel combo - it comes with rice, whatever you want from the salad bar, and a ton of meat. Add sauce!!
Arjun Seth: A hidden gem in Brooklyn. For $6 it should. Be illegal to stuff a plate that heavy. Their lamb is phenomenal.

Ted Smith: One of the best brunch spots in Williamsburg. Vegan pancakes with strawberry syrup. Phenomenal drinks. Impeccable service, out in the heated patio, in the garden, or indoors. Very romantic.
Ted Smith: Gonna really miss this place.
Ted Smith: Second to last day at strangeways ;_;
