Best Seasonal Restaurants in Sheepshead Bay

Outstanding dining experience shared with out of town family who were guests for the holiday season. The River Cafe did not disappoint. The menu offered a dazzling array of options for each course and given the large selection, we were a bit concerned about their ability to deliver… we were extremely happy and quite frankly blown away by each course. The food was of the best quality, presented beautifully and tasted absolutely DELICIOUS. Our only disappointment was the water service - it seems so silly but we had to ask NUMEROUS times for water and wait and wait for our glasses to be refilled. This seems like a minor detail but a major annoyance that can be readily corrected. One other troubling detail that surprised us was the lack of toilet tissue in the Ladies Room- it appeared that no staff attended to the bathroom during our three hour meal. We raise these two points in support of The River Cafe’s commitment to excellence. A warm thanks to the Chef and their team for a wonderful meal and lovey dining experience.

Salmon rasta pasta was delicious, Waitress,Staff and Dj were very friendly.

Aska delivers an extraordinary culinary journey in a beautifully restored 1860s Williamsburg warehouse. Chef Fredrik Berselius masterfully blends Scandinavian traditions with local Northeast ingredients in a refined 12-14 course tasting menu. The intimate setting of just 10 tables creates the perfect ambiance, with impeccable yet approachable service. Each dish showcases subtle, delicate flavors that reflect both technical excellence and creative innovation. While portions are modest, the expertly crafted dishes and wine pairings create an unforgettable fine dining experience worthy of its two Michelin stars.

Wonderful Christmas Day Brunch. Beautiful space and delicious food. Really enjoyed the Burrata Aristocrat with homemade lox. Katie, our server, was friendly and attentive --our champagne glasses were always full.

I absolutely love this restaurant. I’ve been twice now and have had the best experiences sitting at the bar just taking it all in. The energy is calm but assured, the food is absolutely incredible and at the heart of the whole operation is the wine. This is a restaurant that pairs food to the wine and if you’re a wine lover like me, it’s an excellent educational experiences! All of the stars for Chambers.
