Sailor is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendliness and attentiveness. The cleanliness of the space was impeccable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food, hands down, the French toast is the best I’ve ever had. Every bite was perfect! Beyond that, the rest of the menu was incredibly unique and full of bold, delicious flavors that you don’t find anywhere else. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Highly recommend!

We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at Sailor and it did not disappoint. Ella, our wonderful server, made us feel special right away and was knowledgeable of the menu. We had the deviled eggs, Caesar salad, bass, roast chicken, and ended with profiterole ice cream sandwiches with two candles. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

Everything was great, Turkish eggs were the highlight for me. Burger and French toast were really good too.

The French toast with vanilla cream was AMAZING, probably the best dessert I’ve had all year. Goat gouda quiche was also splendid. Lots of natural lighting from the windows around as well.

Wow, this is the best dinner meal that I have had in a while. All the dishes we got were amazing. Perfect seasoning, and some twist idea of the flavors made the food very unique. The staffs were friendly and professional. Overall, the experience feels high quality and yet comfortable. I will visit here again soon, hope they wont become too popular that I will have difficulty to make a reservation.

Such a cute little brunch spot. We decided to share everything, which felt like the right move because we could sample each dish. The burger was delicious, cooked perfectly medium rare with that juicy, just right center. But my personal favorite? The Turkish eggs. Absolute saucy perfection. They came with a puffy flatbread that paired amazingly with all that rich, flavorful goodness, though I do wish the bread had been bigger. The sauce was just too good, and I needed more to soak it all up. The true star of the meal, though, was the French toast. Thick and drenched in a maple syrup with a vanilla cream dollop. I highly recommend ordering it almost as a dessert and eating it right away. We waited a bit while finishing the savory dishes, so it wasn’t piping hot by the time we dug in, still delicious, but it definitely would’ve been even better warmer. Definitely a spot worth returning to 🍳

We had a really great experience here, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. The inside is decorated with lots of ships and nautical-themed items. The bar itself feels a bit like a ship with almost gantry-like washrooms. The burger was fantastic, among the very best I’ve had in NYC and while maybe not top 3, worth a mention to anyone who likes burgers. The cocktails were also great - while I don’t think they were the very highest in mixology, they were delicious and inventive. The orchard margarita was very interesting and tasted super unique.

I would give this a 4.5. The waitress was a sweetheart and the atmosphere was beautiful—I loved all the decor. We started with the deviled eggs, sunchokes, and squid salad, and the appetizers were amazing. For entrées, I ordered the cod and my husband had the pork shoulder. The pork shoulder was absolutely delectable with a delicious sauce; however, with only olives on the plate, there wasn’t anything to soak up and fully enjoy the sauce. A mashed potato or even a piece of toast would have really elevated the dish. The cod was cooked perfectly—flaky, light, and fresh—but the flavor was a bit subtle and could have benefited from a sauce or crust to add more depth and punch. Overall, a lovely experience with excellent service and thoughtfully prepared dishes.

This was one of the most pleasant meals I’ve had in a long time. The service was prompt, and everything we ordered was exceptional. While many Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve visited are excellent, this meal stood out, it truly sparked my palate in a way few others have.

This was such a treat! A $100 brunch for two isn’t usually in our budget, but this time it was absolutely worth it. The French toast was our favorite—so delicious! I highly recommend it!!! The thick-cut bacon and fries were also amazing. The croque monsieur wasn’t my personal favorite, but it seemed to be a crowd favorite since everyone around us was ordering it. The décor and boat-inspired theme were adorable, and the atmosphere was a perfect 10/10. Highly recommend!

Immaculate, and just so welcoming. We were supposed to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary here, but my dad fell ill, so I just went with my mum—and they couldn’t have made us feel more at home, more looked after. And, naturally, the food was stunning. Thank you, thank you so much.

Fantastic food and service! Worth the hype. A harder reservation but not the hardest place I’ve been to, people cancel a lot. Definitely the best French toast I’ve ever had. Custardy, vanilla, crunchy and pillowy soft. Not too sweet. Shocked how good it was. Worth every dollar. The burger is really good and I cleared it. The caramelized onions were perfect and the burger was so juicy.The everything bagel with lox was sneakily great. Not a crazy amount of cream cheese, just right. Really good food despite looking like a boring menu. Cannot wait to go back for dinner. I do wish they had more non alcoholic options, I love a good mocktail menu. Try the phonograph cider, really good.

I came for the Caesar salad which was pretty good but missing something. Crunchy croutons, anchovies and lots of parmesan cheese but I think the sauce was just not enough to call this the best I've had. The burger was a pleasant surprise with caramelized onions, gruyere and fries. The bun was soft and the burger was tender. Seemed overpriced but pretty good. Overall it was nice, but not worth a trip just for this place.

Upon arriving, you can't help but appreciate the interior design, warm and cosy setting and the lovely front of the house team. We arrived an hour early and due to a full house, we went for a stroll and enjoyed the seasonal Fort Green Brooklyn buzz. Another warm reception on our return, I ordered the most perfect gin martini and made some selections. A note for pescatarians, all of the fish entrees have either a meat stock or element that makes it highly restrictive. April Bloomfield has a reputation for her lack of flexibility in the kitchen so we were not surprised when our server politely said no. After briefly discussing with my brother who suggested we leave, I found a few items that worked and we gave it a go. Green Salad with Oregano Vinaigrette Burrata with Parsnip Purée + Mushrooms Seared Squid with Cilantro Butter + Chickpeas Stuffed Radicchio with Red Wine Sauce After we ordered, our server returned to the table. She had overheard our disappointment and spoke to the manager who made an exception to leave the lardo off the cod which we gratefully added to order. I am glad we stayed. One after the other, each dish was a 10/10. The Stuffed Radicchio was a solid 8/10 and we left full, appreciated and seen. Great meal!

We happened to walk by this little restaurant a few days ago and were instantly drawn in by its cozy and charming vibe. It really lives up to its name and theme. Luckily, I managed to snag a reservation shortly after, and it’s clear this place is popular. There was already a line forming for walk-ins when we arrived. We ordered the burger, Caesar salad, and French toast. To be honest, I’m usually not a big fan of French toast, but this one completely won me over. It looked like a giant foie gras. The inside was incredibly soft and it paired beautifully with the vanilla cream. The presentation was also stunning and honestly made me even hungrier. Overall, I really enjoyed the food. The only downside was that our waitress didn’t seem very cheerful. Maybe she was just having a rough day, which I totally understand. That said, the food more than made up for it. I’d definitely come back!

Sailor delivers cozy charm with serious cooking. The roast chicken is juicy with crisp skin, the bass is delicate and buttery, and the profiteroles are a playful and perfect finish. The space feels warm and romantic, like a secret worth keeping. I did feel like it was a bit overpriced for what it is but all in all it was an enjoyable meal

Sandy Tseng

Sailor is a gem of a restaurant — warm, welcoming, and delicious. The menu is well-executed, and everything we ordered was really tasty. The standouts for me were the bass and the Swiss chard. There was a pork special which was very flavorful and, tender. I also had an excellent martini. The meal was deeply satisfying, atmosphere felt effortlessly cozy yet elevated, and would highly recommend

My second time here. First time I walked in and sat at the bar with a friend. Great bartender/server who was very friendly. We had the half chicken, raw hamachi, and some veggie dish (cant remember exactly). But all delicious. Decided to bring my husband in this time. Squid dish was good but a bit too acidic. The cod was just okay and the bass with mushrooms was excellent. We asked for fries but they were very salty - especially for the Belgian! The skin contact wine smelled like roses and went perfectly with the squid. Desserts didn’t look that interesting so we skipped it but last time we had the profiteroles. Staff was a bit serious this time. I guess that’s true of so many restaurants in our hood of FG these days. (We’ve been in the neighborhood for over 20 years.) Expensive and very serious! Our bill for one starter, one side, two main dishes, 2.5 glasses of wine (yes, you can get a half glass) was $146.45 including tax.

Really average food for the price. A few standout dishes like the pork and artichoke salad. However everything else was really average and nothing special. Such a shame because the service and atmosphere were amazing! We visited as we had been gifted a voucher by friends so still had a lovely time but would have been very disappointed had we paid on our own.

I’ve lived in Fort Greene for eight years and have become a big fan of many of the neighborhood’s restaurants, so I was genuinely excited when Sailor opened as it offered an elevated experience. The ambience is warm and welcoming, and while the service had a few slightly awkward moments, it was generally good. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite meet the expectations, especially with the elevated price point compared to neighboring restaurants. The deviled eggs, for example, were something I could easily replicate at home—I was hoping for a more unique or elevated take. The crudo was excellent, and the halibut was delicious as well, but the pork dish was simply a large cut of pork without much finesse or balance. Dessert ended the meal on a disappointing note. The caramel hardened on the ice cream, making it difficult to eat and overwhelmingly sugary. Again, missing the mark for a restaurant of this caliber. All in all, despite the cozy atmosphere and a few solid dishes, the overall experience fell short for me, and I don’t see myself returning at this price.

Cute spot in ft greene. Very popular but justified. Food was more elegant and sophisticated than you might expect. Had fish that was cooked perfectly which sounds standard but really more rare than you’d think. Waiter was excellent like fine dining level service even tho we were literally eating on the sidewalk. Vibe was like park slope but more bougey. Not a destination spot but if you happen to be in the area then worth a visit. Also anywhere that serves martinis with a sidecar is good in my eyes! Verdict: would return if in the area.
