Bar

Dressler restaurant is the natural outgrowth of the dining concept that owner Colin Devlin and co-chefs Polo Dobkin and Cal Elliott successfully implemented five years ago at their first Williamsburg restaurant, Dumont: a neighborhood restaurant featuring a simple yet thoughtful and well executed menu; well informed and sincere service and a warm, festive atmosphere. Dressler adopts that...

Executive Chef Polo Dobkin’s menu has received a Michelin star for four consecutive years. Accented by intricate metal work from Brooklyn Navy Yard artisan sculptors, the interior was carefully crafted from a completely raw space into one of the city’s most stunning dining rooms.

This New American standout in South Williamsburg undoubtedly raised a few eyebrows when it set up shop across the street from hallowed Peter Luger in 2006. But chefs Polo Dobkin and Cal Elliott, both alums of Gramercy Tavern, helm a kitchen that's just as consistent and certainly more creative. Seasonal specials can include the likes of smoked squid with barbecue glaze over bitter endive, with...

Williamsburg has become one of the tastiest parts of the Big Apple and handsome, dark-wood-and-exposed-brick bedecked restaurants like Dressler are exactly what have given the neighborhood its culinary star status. Famed, old-school steak house Peter Luger may be just across the street, but food-loving hipsters are hitting Dressler for American seasonal cuisine like house-smoked sturgeon and...

Dressler Restaurant Review

Dressler is a Brooklyn restaurant through and through. First, the owner also owns Brooklyn’s similarly styled DuMont. Dressler also has Brooklyn style, from the wrought-iron chandeliers to the scruffy floors---all designed and restored by artisans from the borough. The food, too, is classic New Brooklyn Cuisine; a little of this, a little of that, much of it seasonal and most of it classic fare...

Colin Devlin delivers Williamsburg elegance defined. Menu steps up from Dumont, with brilliant fish dishes and a well-selected wine list, on top of the comforting, classic burger. Get sophisticated with ricotta ravioli, with butternut squash and black trumpet mushrooms. Try the rabbit ragout gnocchi, just because you hate on all of nature's little furry creatures. Pretty, modern décor—laser-cut...

One visit here and you'll know why reviews are raving about Dressler. Located in Brooklyn, this trendy place is the latest hangout for serious drinkers and foodies alike. The chic decor is as interesting as their Wild Striped Bass. And if you can't do without a cocktail, Coal Miner's Daughter and the Gretsch keep perfect company. Service is satisfactory and on any day, Dressler is as good as it...
