Glasserie - Brooklyn

Get the duck!! Fall of the bones tender and incredibly well seasoned. The mezze feast was also lovely smoked eggplant was the star here. Service was prompt and friendly. Would recommend for a nice meal with friends or a date.

The epitome of industrial chic on the border of Greenpoint and LIC. Used to be a glass factory, the vibes are intimate and cozy, surrounded by brick walls, plants, and the hipster vibe that Brooklyn is known for. Amazing for a date or small group! One of the many Mediterranean spots in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, their food is a hit or miss. The Labne and Griddle bread is a MUST 10/10. Skip the kingfish crudo and coconut panna cotta. The combination of flavors is surprising and courageous but doesn't always work out. I'm a big fan of cilantro addicted even, and I could not get pass it the combination with coconut. Service was great and the owner himself came to check on our tables, and clarify any food allergies and there were a few at our table.

Food 6/10 Extremely salty, way too overpowering flavors in most of the dishes that just did not sit well together. The only thing I liked about this meal was the yams. The labneh was not bad, but both the baklava and cheesecake were excessively sweet, and the dips were pure salt. Quite an unfortunate experience. Atmosphere 6/10 The air conditioning was so weak that we were sweating and felt so sticky throughout the entire meal. My skin felt so sticky and uncomfortable. Service 6/10 Quite slow, laissez-faire hipster vibes.

Have come here in the past and it been a much better experience than tonight. We will not be coming back for several reasons. Sad to see a Greenpoint staple go so down hill. Firstly, before walking in on a rainy night at 6 PM, we saw there were dozens of reservations available on resy, so we didn't think walking in would be an issue. We walked in and the place was full of empty tables, only around 4 tables were occupied. The hostess was extremely rude and immediately said she didn't think they had a table for us. I told her I understood, but I saw dozens of free reservations on resy...She eventually sat us, but had a bad attitude and honesty seemed pretty unhappy in her role from walking in the door. Just unwelcoming. Secondly, the place was SO hot. I'm talking like rainforest jungle level stuffy and humid. On a super hot august day when you're paying top dollar for food, it should be comfortable. It was uncomfortable the entire time and stayed super hot the entire time... Next, I ordered a Margarita and our waiter interjected to suggest/ push his favorite cocktail on us despite us not asking...We went for his suggestion but when it arrived it was basically straight Mezcal. I didn't want to make a fuss about it but he eventually asked how we liked the drinks. My sister smiled and said to be honest she really didn't like it, but no worries. He offered her a margarita instead which was nice, but it then took 20 minutes to arrive and came towards the end of the meal. The food is decent, the appetizers of dips and skewers were the best thing, but the chicken and tuna entrees were super mediocre, lacking anything special. Tuna wasn't high quality tuna and lacked flavor, overcooked and hard pucks of ahi. And for $30 each, it was a major let down. The bill game and it was so high, we just kind of laughed. The kind of meal that just sucked and you couldn't believe you're paying $250 for. The waiter also charged an extra $5 for the replacement drink he offered my sister, just poor hospitality. I wish I could be more positive. I lived in greenpoint for years and this place used to be a special occasion place. You're better off ordering a falafel from a street cart, legit. They need an overhaul of management, staff and to fix their AC immediately.

I found this place in the Michelin guide and immediately went there. I really wanted to try their smoked eggplant appetizer and after reading the menu I decided to take a Mezza Feast. The mezze feast had a lot of options and every one of them looked beautiful. I immediately reached for the eggplant and, oh no, that was my first disappointment. It was like I ate a spoon of liquid smoke. Lots of smokiness and not a drop of eggplant flavor. I began to taste other appetizers and almost all of them had one thing in common an oversaturated taste of seasonings and the lack of the ingredient's taste. Such aggressive taste enhancers simply did not allow you to enjoy combinations of appetizers, they just overwhelmed you taste buds. We didn't finish our mezze feast, even though we were quite hungry. On the bright side, the hummus was good. Also, this place has an interestresting interior and pleasant staff. But I wouldn't come back here, after all, the food is the deciding factor.
