Feedback
Olmstead presents an intriguing blend of innovative presentations and high-quality ingredients, showcasing dishes that entice the palate with their unique flavor pairings. Diners have praised standout offerings like the Rutabaga Tagliatelle and Long Island Duck, alongside appealing cocktails served in charming, unconventional vessels. However, not all experiences have been stellar; some guests highlight a lack of attention to dietary needs and minor menu missteps. While the ambiance and decor impress, the disparity in portion sizes and flavor intensity leaves room for improvement. Overall, Olmstead straddles the line between culinary excellence and unexpected letdowns.
I love the exterior and interior decor. It’s small inside but they still feel spacious with the way things are. I haven’t get a chance to see the backyard and maybe next time with a reservation.
Short version: Why doesn’t this place have like 8 Michelin stars?Long version: They actually do have one or two. If you’re looking for the right level of fancy with insanely high quality food for bunch, lunch, or dinner, then you found an incredible spot.PS- get 6 orders of lobster crackers. Trust me.
4.5 stars! service, eating and ambiente were all excellent. our standout dishes were the rutabaga tagliatelle and chocolate mousse with crème fraiche whipped cream.
We visited Olmstead on day one of our NYC trip and we talked about how great the meal was everyday after. We reserved a table for three for myself, my dear friend and my seven year old daughter. We were greeted by a warm host and brought to a table against the living wall with a direct view of the kitchen. I am a sucker for an open kitchen and watching the magic from my seat did not disappoint. We ordered a few Mocktails and a few Cocktails, both of which were really good! We ordered a lot of food to share, eight items in total. WOW. The food was outstanding. Form the plates to the plating to the flavor, you could tell that each dish was prepared with excellent ingredients and with that secret ingredient, love. We immensely enjoyed the Smores dessert outside over the personal tabletop fire. Our server was knowledgable and kind without being overbearing and gave us space and time to enjoy our meal. I will say that after reading some of the bad reviews, I was nervous about what kind of experience we would have. As a person who eats out often and pays attention to every detail, I realize that many of those negative reviews were made by people who walked into a place that they did not understand and simply could not enjoy the meal due to that fact. Olmstead is a chef driven seasonal restaurant doing great things. Do not hesitate to enjoy a meal here alone or with friends. I will be back next time I am in the area. Thanks to everyone who made our dinner memorable last week! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection
Olmsted has always been one of my most favorite spots in Brooklyn the food is always inventive, delicious and nourishing. Was so sad to hear it’s closing so came back one last time to enjoy the seasonal menu. Absolutely loved the food and can’t go wrong with: grilled scallops with blueberry and corn, grilled chicken, carrot crepe, and the squash rings. And omg will be thinking about that garlic leek sauce and the sourdough bread for ages to come : Seriously going to miss this spot around the neighborhood Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
