File Sweetwater under places I’ve walked by a million times without going in…which as it turns out was a huge mistake. Especially since the French American Bistro has been around for 20 years.
I wanted to be close by the local Equinox and some of the shops in the area and Streetwater on North 6th hit the mark location and menu wise. Aside from a fair amount of choices on their menu they offered a number of yummy sounding Brunch specials.
It was a coin-toss between the Potato Pancakes and the Omelette special of the day made with Mushrooms, Spinach and Goat Cheese. I chose the later and it was one of the best Omelettes I’ve enjoyed in a while. It came with a side salad of tossed greens and potatoes with red peppers. I was particularly impressed by how much it was stuffed with the Mushrooms, Spinach and Goat Cheese.
As I sat at the bar I noticed the bartender was making Aperol Spritz’s and Espresso Martini’s non-stop with no Bloody Mary’s in sight. Which on the one hand felt odd but on the other in Williamsburg woke isn’t an adjective…it’s clearly a way of life.
Aside from the weak drinking done by the crowd I really liked Sweetwater and will definitely be back to work by way through their menu and try one of their Bloody Mary’s. Of note, they have a back garden.
Sweetwater is located at 105 North 6th Street
