I thought about updating my review but thought I'd write a new one. This is, without a doubt, the finest and most authentic restaurant in Williamsburg. Michelin Star without the unapproachability of most Michelin establishments. The service is amazing. The seasonal menu is so amazing I can barely decide on a recommendation. The chicken, for instance, is my go to! Bite through, crispy skin. Sometimes a miso glaze. Sometimes German style. Outrageous. My wife orders the duck or salmon. Note: I cry and seethe when she peels the the skin of the duck. It's a sin against god and man to skin a bird. Moving on. As I mentioned previously, she holds that the salmon is better than Le Bernardin. Amazing compliment as LB is considered by some to be the finest seafood resto in the world. Finally, the drink selection is awesome. From cheaper cans to a lovely Whistlepig - my guilty pleasure - Meadowsweet has it all. Cheers! Love you!

Perfect Brooklyn location. Super charming. Great service from Melissa! And the food far surpassed our expectations. We ate dinner outside and everything was interesting and delicious. Get the rolls to start - they are worth it. The craft cocktails were equally delicious. Then we started with the empanadas and artichokes - both great! Then moved onto the duck and wagyu...both perfectly prepared medium rare and super flavorful. Food this good would have been 50% more expensive just across the bridge in Manhattan. Definitely worth taking a trip to Brooklyn for Meadowsweet!

As I eat the dishes and write, I am unimpressed by the appetizers. The Artichoke was balanced and refreshing; however, it was very one dimensional and did not have enough artichoke, which was supposed to be the star ingredient. Moreover, the Spanish Octopus with Chorizo was a little disappointing. The octopus was good but the chorizo was a little off putting since it was quite "hard". Overall, the octopus was good but not stellar. For reference, the Polipo at Marea is in a completely different league compared to the one served here. Now to the main course, which was Black Sea Bass and Duck. To start on a good note, the Duck was perfectly cooked and was overall great. On the other hand, the Black Sea Bass was good and had good flavors, but nothing thats makes it stand out. I had a very similar dish a couple of days ago and the Black Sea Bass was not as delicious at the other place. Lastly, towards the end I felt kind of done with this place because it did not meet my expectations; however, when I was handed the dessert menu, I was intrigued by the options. Lets just say I was very disappointed.All in all, to answer everyone's question, does this live up to it's Michelin Star and would I come back? Answer is no, I have dined at other restaurants without any stars or recommendations that are better. Do not get me wrong this place is solid, if you want some place to try, by all means give this place a shot and you will be satisfied. However, for me, it just didnt blow me away. I just dont find anything that makes me particularly want to come back.

The food and ambiance here is great! The staff is super welcoming and friendly. We had a great time here, cocktails were delicious. Look at those giant olives, they did it right --they know what they are doing! The food is spectacular. Tuna tar tar tasted light, fresh and packed with flavors. Impressed by the overall presentation. The steak was buttery and every bite felt like it should have lasted longer because it was that GOOD! The portion, mash, and plating was perfect. We had a great time, also loved the music playing the background. Felt like as soon as it got late in the evening the music matched the vibes and end of the night. We'll be back for sure!

It was not packed upon arrival, we were probably the third table, but it filled up quickly around 7pm. The first thing we noticed was the ambiance - it was dimly lit with hanging light fixtures and backlighting, the floor tiles are colorfully patterned, everything was clean, and there's a loft area full of plants over the entryway. We were seated comfortably and waited on immediately. I had the "forgive and forget" cocktail with lavender and thyme, it was delicious! My bf had the "ommegang nirvana IPA" he says was good. The dinner menu has more starters than anything, so we decided to share a bunch instead of getting any mains. We ordered a half dozen oysters - I highly recommend them for their fresh taste, the braised wagyu beef empanadas - came with 3 empanadas filled with juicy, tender beef and a delicious green dipping sauce on the side (not pictured), fried green tomatoes - the best I've ever had of these as they were so crispy and came over a creamy white sauce, and Spanish octopus and chorizo - my favorite meal of the night! The grilled octopus was tender and fresh and paired perfectly with the smoky chorizo and potatoes with a chipotle-like sauce underneath. The oysters, fried green tomatoes, and octopus came out first. The empanadas took an hour to arrive and within this time we cancelled our order of roasted baby carrots because we were getting pretty full (we made sure they hadn't already started making them before cancelling). We ordered a second round of drinks, I had the "a simple answer" cocktail with honey and walnut bitters. This was stronger than my first drink but as the ice melted it became just right. My bf had an "old fashioned" with bourbon, he says it was strong but he enjoyed it. We stayed for about 2.5 hours because towards the end it was pretty packed and hard to get our check. The total with tip was about $180 which we thought was totally worth it. We can't wait to return!

I came here this past Saturday as an early Valentine's Day Dinner with my gf since Valentine's Day was on a Monday and the Super Bowl was on a Sunday smh. I believe they used to do a prix fixe menu but it was a la carte this time.Food:Tuna Tartare: I can tell you I am NOT a seafood person, and I really avoid anything seafood (anything from shrimp to sushi, it's just not my thing). With that being said, I gave this a shot because I like giving every item a chance. It actually turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the whole dinner, 10/10, please get this! As someone who doesn't really like seafood, I'd order this again just for me :) Chorizo Empanadas: It was your classic empanada with green sauce. The meat was cooked really well, a tad salty, my girlfriend said. The crust was crunchy, the cheese was melted, and the meat was seasoned well, I would certainly order this again.American wagyu bavette: As a steak person it's really hard for me to not order the steak, so alas, another steak to check off my list. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was seasoned perfectly. The meat was tender and flavorful. Everything with the steak complimented it so well. They added some broccolini, and as someone who doesn't eat vegetables at all, I really really enjoyed this addition (ahh don't tell anybody haha). Spiced duck breast: My girlfriend actually ordered the duck, but I had to add a quick note because this was the real star of the dinner. The duck was cooked to a perfect medium rare as well and was quite possibly one of the best ducks I've ever had. All I can say is, please get this duck, 11/10. Brown Butter Almond Cake: The almond cake was perfect. As a baker, brown butter can be tricky and if done poorly, you can certainly tell. That was not the case here, this was done extremely well, my only gripe was the passion fruit sauce. I know that it added some color to the plate but it was extremely extremely tart. I'm not a huge fan of that amount of tart but to each their own.Atmosphere / Service:The staff was amazing and I really loved the attention we got throughout our meal and the recommendations from our waiter. The restaurant was def on the smaller side so everyone is close quarters but that's the standard in Brooklyn. Really beautiful place overall and I will certainly be back!!

I tend to be overly generous with stars and accepting of even passable service given how surly folks can be NYC/NJ. Meadowsweet is amazing. They are completely deserving of 5 stars for both food and service. My boyfriend and I were in the area and I remembered looking in a few months back. We decided to stop in for dessert. We got the menu and decided to check out the artichoke salad as well. Both were fantastic, complex, interesting dishes. I visited Paris a few months ago and expected food like this. Host and servers were all just lovely. We had a great experience. Hope to be back soon.

We had such an amazing meal at Meadowsweet! Contrary to what most reviews say, the crispy baby artichokes were in fact not the best dish (in my opinion). The grilled broccolini with black garlic paste and the tajarin, chanterelle & truffle pasta appetizers were both my absolute favorites. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the flavors were so delicate, unique, and light. You wouldn't expect a "creamy" pasta to be so incredibly light and delicate. Amazing. As for the grilled broccolini, I've never quite tasted anything like the black garlic paste - so incredibly packed with flavor and so delicious. The burrata & delicata squash was amazing too - it comes with a kind of savory jam on the side which was really tasty. The roasted chicken roulade entree was a little heavy on the salt, but otherwise was delicious. If you're not big on fried food, I would avoid the fried green tomatoes - they were a little too heavy for my liking but for those who like fried food, it's crisped to perfection and doesn't taste oily at all (even though you know it is ha). It's also a very large position and will properly fill you up. Service was excellent, and the cocktails were also perfectly balanced and delicious - not too sweet and not too boozy tasting. We ordered the Friend of the Devil and the other cocktail with mezcal (I'm forgetting the name). Thanks for a great experience! We will definitely be back.

The best Michelin star restaurant at its price point. We started with the Burrata and Broccolini- both of which were seasoned well, crisp and fresh. You cant go wrong with any of their main dishes it seems. The chicken roulade was the most juicy and perfectly cooked non-fried chicken I've had served in a restaurant. The cauliflower dish is a solid vegetarian option with a burst of flavor in every bite. Finally, the blueberry dessert had the softest and fluffiest cake accompaniment. Everything was surprisingly affordable for a Michelin restaurant so I recommend getting 3 courses if you can.

Share plates and try everything! The empanadas with chorizo and fontina were delicious as was the cavatelli with fennel sausage. On the entree side the spiced duck was off the charts. Well done!
