Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Williamsburg

Barbounia never disappoints. Great service, very attentive staff. Amazing food. The Portuguese octopus was my favorite appetizer.

Outstanding and creative food and excellent service. All dishes were distinctive, well prepared and delicious. Atmosphere was a little noisy for easy conversation but otherwise quite lovely.

Honestly pretty noisy but I feel like it’s intentional so the tables feel more secluded. Personally wish the seats didn’t have a stool separating when dining for 2 but that’s more preferential. The food is phenomenal staff is so so friendly—it feels like they are background actors haha. The space is very intentional well done. Aquavit does not even compare to this if a date is what you’re looking for. The food is also very interesting while aquavit is more classical well done Swedish dishes this is a great space for a date as the dishes give you something to talk about with your partner that pertains to the space you’re in.

Exceptional food and service! Easily the best Spanish restaurant in the city

Pleasantly surprised by the ambience and quality of food. We had a happy hour and dinner, and I was concerned that the dinner would be too casual, but it's a separate space from the lunch space, trendy and appropriate for business dinners. The service was outstanding from the time we walked in to the time we left. Everyone was very happy with the food. Highly recommend this spot.
