Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Fort Greene

A warm, lovely spot to eat. You can feel the history and taste the love that goes into the delicious food prep. Don't miss it if you visit or live in NYC. One drawback/negative ... in my reservation I wrote that I was bringing a friend we were celebrating her birthday. I thought there would be some kind of celebratory dessert provided as I've experienced in other establishments. There wasn't even an acknowledgement.

We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedly

It's wonderful to return to a restaurant after many years and find that it is still excellent. Adam at the Musket Room was an incredibly gracious host. He said something that you don't hear in many restaurants in New York when our table was delayed, "We are here to wait on you, not for you to wait on us." He generously bought us some drinks and nibbles to make up for the wait. We were celebrating a birthday and he made the birthday girl feel very special. The breads and spreads were wonderful. I don't know which was better the anchovy butter or the chicken liver mousse and everything looked beautiful. We had the caviar service which was fun and delicious! Also, the Hamachi, the endive salad and the gnocchi. For mains we have the salmon, the Wagyu beef, and the duck. Everything was beautifully presented and gobbled up! We did think the desserts were not as delicious as the rest of the meal. The panna cotta and the vegan cheesecake were more curious than divine, but nice. He sent out the vacherin as a bday surprise and that was EXCELLENT! Totally SOLID meal. We look forward to trying Rafs and coming back to the Musket Room again. We

One of the longest standing top notch restaurants in Bklyn. My guests were won over end though they don’t regularly dine in bklyn. The potato wedges are a great treat. Seafood soup new to me and A+. Apple cake and pecan pie hard to resist at the table’s center. Like many servers Tim has been a knowledgeable likable staffer for many years.

Had a post-proposal brunch there and it was perfect. Great spot for a big group, great drinks, music, food, and the service was perfect. Highly recommend!
