Master Critic Review

Sweetwater Restaurant 8.0
Williamsburg
Long-running New American bistro just off Bedford Avenue that leans into French-accented comfort food and a leafy back garden. It’s a neighborhood standby for casual dates, brunch, and late-night plates when you want something more substantial than bar snacks without leaving the block.
Must-Try Dishes: Steak frites, Lobster salad, Roasted beet salad
