    Try the Banh mi poutine: fries, slow-roasted pork shoulder, crunchy pickled carrots and fried jalapeños, smothered in a pork-hoisin gravy and drizzled with zippy sriracha and house-made Kewpie mayo. Read more

    Great cocktails and really good food, family style. You have to try the Banh Mi and the Lunchbox. It's located on the 3rd floor of a clothing store, can't wait to try the rooftop!

    This is a great venue to hold an event. The dining area is a great size for a rehearsal dinner, the roof is nice for a small event as well. The food by chef Ilan Hall (Top Chef Alum hellooooo) 😍👌🙌

    Great space but surprisingly empty on a Friday night. Late happy hour. The shishito peppers on a bed of mashed charred eggplant were delicious. None of them spicy tho... Always love the surprise!

    “Thrice-cooked thick-cut fries were bathed in hoisin gravy and tangled with Vietnamese pickles, sriracha, and shreds of pulled pork for the superb banh-mi poutine.” Read more

    Rooftop is charming. Hidden Gem of Williamsburg. Great in the afternoon. Tip: get in by the Urban Outfitters downstairs.

    Upstairs roof deck feels like a hidden secret. Grab a beer and hang with friends for the day. Lovely views. Shop at urban outfitters while drunk afterward.

    Get the Celeriac dish in the "FIELD" section of the menu. Best veggie dish I've had out in a long time. Tonka beans give it some weight, but smokey and light. Delicious!

    Not pictured here, definitely make sure to order the broccoli. Trust me. Great vibes, great burger. (Follow Foodstagram: @foodaholic_anonymous)

    Beyond the amazing food of Chef Ilan Hall, sit at the chef's counter and you will be treated like a long lost friend. Chef and his staff are amazing people.

    Lesser-known rooftop bar, but such a great spot. The food at this restaurant is phenomenal as well. Really great cocktails on the roof!

    Perhaps the Top Chef-iest restaurant that ever Top Cheffed. Don't be scared off by the onions on the brownie, but do it take it easy on the fat.

    The rooftop bar gets all of the sun. There are canopy-covered spots but they are rare and small. There's a side door to the stairs, so it isn't fully necessary to enter through the Urban Outfitters.

    World Cup all week with a special drink deal, $8 Stevens Point Brewery Lager + shot of Old Grandad. Space to breathe in the third floor bar and a gorgeous roof deck.

    Lovely, hidden rooftop gem in Williamsburg. You'll probably look really cool if you take someone here. Didn't eat or drink, but I assume solid.

    I hope that no one reads this review and pollutes this wonderful rooftop bar that plays chillaxing music and serves delicious food and has amazing views.

    Get the broccoli and the cucumber/avocado appetizers! I didn't know broccoli could taste that good (and that's coming from a vegetarian).

    Family style dishes. The Bahn mi poutine and bacon wrapped matzoh balls are a definite must try.

    This place is awesome once you find it! We had a heat lamp, a cozy wooden nook, and the rooftop to ourselves on a Sunday evening.

    Try the white gazpacho with octopus and squid ink. Deserts... The right amount to put an end to an amazing dinner.

    Cute rooftop and great prices drinks. If the door is locked enter through the urban outfitters and take the elevator to the roof.

    The bacon-wrapped matzoh balls are a duh. But also don't leave without trying the lamb ribs, cucumber salad, or rooftop bar.

    Curt is a master behind the bar and super friendly. The Banh Mi Poutine is otherworldly.

    Poutine, matzo balls, and beef tongue. Sit at the bar in front of the kitchen. Ask Chef Ilan about Padma Lakshmi.
