Notable Picks
8.4
Lighthouse BK is a farm-to-table Mediterranean restaurant and bar that leans into seasonal vegetables, sustainable seafood, and a serious natural wine list. The space feels casual but grown-up, with a lively bar, communal energy, and plates built for sharing rather than rigid coursing. It’s the kind of place locals use interchangeably for dates, small celebrations, and a glass of wine plus a couple of bright, produce-forward dishes.
Must-Try Dishes:
Whole grilled fish with lemon and herbs, Roasted seasonal vegetables with labneh, Lamb ribs with spiced yogurt
What Makes it Special: Sustainably minded Mediterranean cooking with strong cocktails and natural wines.
#2
Mesiba
8.3
Mesiba, inside the Moxy Williamsburg, serves modern Levantine dishes and cocktails in a dim, high-energy dining room that leans more toward party than quiet date. The menu riffs on Middle Eastern flavors with shareable plates and breads that pair naturally with the bar’s drinks. It’s as much about the scene and soundtrack as the food, making it a go-to for pre-going-out dinners and celebratory nights.
Must-Try Dishes:
Wood-fired pita with spreads, Charred eggplant with tahini and herbs, Slow-braised lamb with spices
What Makes it Special: High-energy Levantine restaurant in the Moxy with cocktails and share plates.
Worthy Picks
7.6
Williamsburg branch of the downtown cafe blending American comfort with Mediterranean and Israeli touches in a bright, tightly packed room. It’s used primarily for brunch and casual dinners built around shakshuka, grilled chicken, and salads rather than long, drawn-out meals.
Must-Try Dishes:
Green shakshuka, Peri-peri chicken, Rosewater waffles
What Makes it Special: Lively Mediterranean-inflected cafe where brunch classics get Israeli flourishes and the room stays bright and social.
