Set within a striking, limestone-clad building in South Williamsburg, this haven features sleek ash wood and mosaic tile flooring, exposed red brick walls and widely spaced tables. All eyes are on the open kitchen, a true-to-life stage for this team, who can be seen prepping, cooking and putting the finishing touches on a series of refined, brasserie-style plates. Pasta is a must, as in the conchiglie with a luscious clam sauce. Shelled clams, bits of bacon and sesame breadcrumbs complete the delightful preparation. Crown of roast duck arrives in dramatic fashion, presented whole and finished with a barley honey glaze before being carved. Caramelized apple atop buttery cake with crème fraîche and green apple brunoise is a fitting finale.
