135 N 5th St (at Bedford Ave), Brooklyn, NY
American Restaurant · Williamsburg · 65 tips and reviews
Bin Yang: Possibly the best bargain in Brooklyn! Chef Jackson's cooking is extremely precise and you can't go wrong with any entrees. Service is a little inconsistent but the food certainly makes up for it.
Chet Mancini: Incredible value for a Michelin prix fixe menu. Multicourse dinner for two with wine and coffee was $150. Creative appetizers and wonderful flavors.
Angela Wen: Awesome value for prix fixe dinner. Tons of appetizers and starters, dessert was amazing. You only have to pick a main, which makes for an easy choice. Would totally recommend for a special night.
