Olmsted

Olmsted is a little Brooklyn gem! It has cute and cozy atmosphere. Food is delicious. Tasty and different. I’ve been for brunch and dinner and have a great experience either way. One thing that I love Olmsted is their beautiful dinnerware. Their selection of cocktails is superb as well.

The food here is fantastic unless you're looking for oversized proportions. What they specialize in is small plates with original twists to household favorites. Make a reservation if you wish to dine out brunch unless you're okay with sitting at the bar.

We happened upon a couple of seats at the bar on a rainy evening. I had an enjoyable beet cocktail and we shared some delicious dishes. I like scallops but had no idea they could be so tasty! Nothing was a miss. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice.

Amazing attention to detail in these dishes, the layers of flavor in each bite was truly impressive. Unpretentious but sophisticated, worldly but comfortable. Pleasant and warm ambience, cheerful staff who clearly enjoy the restaurant round out a delightful dining experience.

Of course everyone is waiting for a table here. We had to arrive right at 5 without a reservation. The reputation is well earned: terrific cocktails, delicious small sharing plates, and fine selection of creative dishes, including excellent vegetarian options. Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Worth it.
