Greeted by Feliko ( hope i spelled his name right), perfect host mannerism, who also happily ended up being our server. Excellent service!
We ordered
Eggs benedict- hollandaise sauce was superb
French toast- a real thick piece of toast which had a slight crunch on the outside and pillowy soft inside, delish.
Ricotta toast - was awful, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Toast was too chewy, bread tasted too hard. And def not worth the price(i believe it was around $15 )
Loved their victorian like bathroom decor
Probably one of most popular brunch spots in Greenpoint. It has a beautiful backyard, with wooden table and chairs, surrounded with plants and flowers. We ordered the chicken sandwiches (juicy and crispy) and ricotta toast (crunchy and well balanced flavor). Both are super delicious! Highly recommended. If you come the weekend, I would suggest to get reservation.
Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We went for restaurant week and sat on the patio for a lovely ambiance. Shrimp ceviche was tasty and beautiful presentation, Moroccan fish was well done and inventive. Peach dessert hits the spot in the summer!
Had to sit at the bar so can’t say how the backyard really is but from a quick peak it was cute and the inside was a ~trendy~ atmosphere. The food was great! And so we’re the drinks. I’d definitely recommend for brunch!
Very cute restaurant and great staff. I called several times to switch my reservation and they were willing to accomodate on Fathers day no less. Definitely get the french toast. It is solid. Perfectly crispy outside and soft but not soggy inside. Loved it.
Have been going for the last 7 years. One of the top restaurants in Greenpoint. They upped their game recently. Service is always great.
I went to Esme after getting a tattoo. I had seen something on the menu online but it wasn’t there anymore. It seems like they have a rotating menu and they source their ingredients locally. I got pasta that was recommended by the waitress and the service was professional. I didn’t love the pasta and I think it was just not my cup of tea. Everything was ok but nothing to recommend imo.
Oct 2023 update: the eggs Benedict were amazing. I didn't love the French toast, but it was still yummy.
Jan 2022: Cheeseburger is one of the best in Greenpoint. Definitely will be returning.
My wife and I shared our special day at the restaurant after trying it once before and loving all of the food! They were able to accommodate our party of 10 with ease. The outdoor patio was beautiful and the perfect location for an intimate dinner. The staff were incredible and efficient. They even brought out a round of champagne for us which was very sweet. The food was also stunning. Every single dish was a hit and everyone left full and happy. If you are wondering if Esme is a good option for your next event or date night do not look any further. This is the spot!
The drinks were excellent— perfectly balanced and with unique flavor profiles. Service was professional and unobtrusive. The food was decent, but not exceptional. The kale salad lacked seasoning & the burger was good, but there are better to be had elsewhere. The decor and vibe of the restaurant is very clean, streamlined, and inviting, and despite tables being close together, they are organized to maximize privacy.
