Popular, long-running spot doling out classic Puerto Rican plates in small, basic quarters.
The staff wasn't the most friendly, maybe because I don't speak Spanish fluently but I just didn't feel welcomed at all. This place would be very intimating to order food from if you don't speak Spanish. The menu is also a bit confusing since it looks like the prices has changed many times. I got 3 beef empanadas, 2 chicken empanads, 2 rice and beans, half quart of beef stew that only end up having like 4 pieces of beef in there, half quart of fried pork, and half quart of roast pork, it came ou

For the longest time , I have craved an experience at the renowned vegan hotspot HAAM. Recently, I had the pleasure and when I say it does not disappoint in any way I do not exaggerate!!! I have been a pescatarian for 35+ yrs, and my partner is an avid meat eater, who also absolutely loves West Indian and criolla food. So this felt like a really great experiment. We began our meal with delicious drinks , including a favorite of mine , Morirsoñando..and delicious cocktails served in fresh cocon

Contemporary Mediterranean eatery with a market-driven vegetarian menu & tranquil garden patio.
Great atmosphere and delicious food! I loved the cozy, relaxed vibe of this place. The staff were very polite and helpful. The lamb kebab pita sandwich was amazing - the well seasoned lamb and grilled vegetables were served hot and paired perfectly with the rich tahini sauce. It was quite filling and satisfying. I'll be back again for sure.

Convivial taqueria & bar featuring Mexican pub grub in a casual but stylish setting.
This place is truly a gem! I’ve been coming all the way from Queens just for the tacos, and after a few visits, I had to finally leave a review. I tried the cucumber margarita,absolutely delicious & great price .The mango michelada was also really good. They welcome you with chips and salsa, which is such a nice touch. We also ordered the guacamole and chips; great portion and super fresh. Now, the tacos… you must try the cochinita pibil. The flavors are incredibly delicious and perfectly se

I had such an amazing experience at Maison Provenance last night. The ambiance was cozy, charming, and truly felt like a beautiful French escape in Brooklyn. Chef Lolo was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and kind. He made us feel like part of the family, which made the entire evening even more special. One of my favorite moments was getting to practice my French with him, which added such a personal and authentic touch to the experience. The food and drinks were outstanding from beginning to

Trendy cafe chain offering upscale coffee drinks & pastries, plus beans & brewing equipment.
I often stop by this coffee shop when I’m walking around Williamsburg and need a little break. The location is excellent, and the space is very clean and spacious. Until recently, they only offered one size (12oz), but this year they’ve added a 16oz option, which I really appreciate, the 12oz always felt a bit too small for me. I usually go for an iced latte or a regular latte. While the selection of pastries is somewhat limited, they also sell coffee beans and cups, which make great souvenirs.

Grilled robata dishes & other specialties pair with a long drink menu at this corner Japanese joint.
I cannot think about the food without getting slightly lightheaded from the pure pleasure it gave me. This is a masterclass on how good ingredients prepared exceptionally well can bring pure joy. Flawless! The only fault I could find was that the restrooms could use a thorough clean the ligh switch was dusty and looked grimy but the food made up for everything. They can take all my money going forward.

Love this place! I brought in some heart trays for a party and asked them to fill them up, and they did so beautifully and were extremely accommodating. Everyone said the sushi was high quality and delicious, and you could tell how much care they put into making it. Even the wasabi heart shaped and they very nearly packaged everything and helped me carry it too! They even threw in a bottle of sake on the house and were so kind. I hadn’t found a sushi spot I liked in Williamsburg until this one -

We had a great time here! The experience was a lot of fun, whether you’re a beginner or have tried axe throwing before. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Overall, a great place to spend an afternoon or evening with friends. We’d definitely come back!

Daytime cafe with a menu of breakfast, lunch & dessert items in a corner space.
Excellent spot in Williamsburg for breakfast or lunch. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads, and wraps, with superb options for both vegetarians and vegans; the pastries are a highlight, too. The music selection is always on point, adding to the great vibe. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be back.

Airy space offering Southern-style dishes & custom cakes amid intricate Thai decor.
Overall rating: 4.8 I went with a group of 6 and didn’t realize how large this place was. I’m surprised there are such low reviews, I had a great time. I went for lunch and it was empty. The Thai iced coffee is sooo good, omg I need to go back. I can’t fully remember what I got but it was delicious. The picture is attached & was a great portion. They were also able to split the bill per order. I definitely will be coming back when I’m in the area to try more dishes.

Nondescript store & restaurant featuring a selection of Mexican groceries, grub & other items.

Japanese go-to for sushi, teriyaki & tempura in a small, modern space with patio tables.
This is my new favorite sushi restaurant! I ordered the seaweed salad, clam soup, clear soup, vegetable Gyoza and 2 avocado rolls and 2 avocado cucumber rolls and they were all super fresh & delicious. The seaweed salads were nice crunchy and full of flavor, the clam soup was so soothing with lots of clams I might add, the clear soup had such tasty mushrooms inside, the veggie gyozas were in this pesto like wrapping that just went perfect with the vegetables that were packed inside. The rolls we

Casual neighborhood brasserie serving local craft beers, noteworthy burgers, sandwiches & sides.
Last minute decision and so happy my kids wanted burgers that night! We were parked minutes from the Williamsburg bridge after coming back from NYC. Went in and it wasn’t busy and we were seated and several right away! Drinks came out minutes later. The pub has a decent menu and seating area but I can see it filing up quickly on regular days. I’d super highly recommend if you’re in the mood for American cuisine; burger and fries and drinks! Super fresh burgers and crispy fries. Grilled chicken w

Rounding down - would give this a 2.5. Shawarma is just ground beef and pita was cold and not warmed through. Wings were what you’d expect from frozen wings. Great in a pinch, though you should expect to wait 10-15 minutes for your order. Not great value for $30 (chicken wings and shawarma wrap). Nothing wrong with the food itself - just wasn’t noteworthy. There are significantly better options in the area IMO.

Popular Williamsburg bar serving cocktails in an upscale setting that recalls old New York.
Fantastic music, vibes, barely chilled martinis from a bartender who clearly puts more effort into her skincare routine than in stirring a cocktail, and oysters that caused my gf food poisoning. We ate the exact same things that day except their oysters. I’ve never had such mixed feelings about a place. Sadly not coming back

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ I really wanted to enjoy this place, but overall I left disappointed. My biggest issue was the portion sizes. My entrée looked like it was meant for a child—literally one scoop of rice with barely any beans. While the flavor of my entrée was actually the best part of the meal, the serving was way too small for the price. The elote tasted like it had been left on the char grill for too long, and the tuna tostadas were honestly the worst part of the meal—they had an unpleasant taste that m

Italian fare & a deep wine list served in a rustic, candlelit setting that lends a romantic vibe.
Absolutely loved this salmon dish at Doc Wine Bar! The fish was cooked perfectly — tender inside with a nice sear on top. It came on a bed of colorful sautéed veggies that added a fresh crunch and a pop of flavor. The roasted lemon on the side gave it that extra citrusy kick, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. Pair it with one of their crisp cocktails (like an Aperol spritz) and you’ve got a meal that’s both light and satisfying. Perfect spot for a relaxed evening out!

Cozy Italian cafe offering coffee, snacks & light meals, plus packaged retail goods.
Such a homely little spot with shared tables and genuinely friendly, attentive staff. 🤍 The space is on the smaller side, but it works beautifully and is thoughtfully decorated with all kinds of charming paraphernalia that add to the cozy vibe. The coffee was spot on ☕️ — smooth and perfectly made. Unfortunately, the cotto didn’t quite hit the mark. It lacked filling, which made it feel dry and a bit bland, leading to a 3 ⭐️ rating overall. We’d still consider returning next time we’re in to

Pokeworks is one of those neighborhood spots that quietly gets everything right. The ingredients are consistently super fresh, which makes a huge difference when it comes to poke. It’s the perfect place for a quick, satisfying lunch—there’s usually no wait, and the whole experience feels easy and efficient. On top of that, the staff is always genuinely friendly and welcoming, which keeps me coming back. Reliable, fresh, and exactly what you want from a local lunch go-to.

We went to this place for dinner. It was a regular weeknight and the place was not too packed. We started with stracciatella which was served with grilled bread. It’s very heavy, and filling.we felt almost full and still was not able to finish the whole. Next we ordered crispy glover - the pizza, a good quality wood fired Neapolitan pizza with good and fresh ingredients. Overall, a decent one but nothing extraordinary.

Quaint spot with yesteryear decor, premium coffee drinks, clever bar concoctions & live music.
Utmost stylish and chill cafe, chandelier, leather couches, great art, tin ceiling, choice music and that’s just the ambience. The espresso is one of my favs in the community, veggie breakfast burritos and lemon pound cake delicious, and I am grateful to have learned a new term “swag” for cool from Inez a friendly new addition to the staff i. reference to my four shots over ice. No notes. Don’t ruin this, yuppies.
