Williamsburg, Brooklyn ยท restaurant
A neighborhood grill on Metropolitan Ave that runs everything (beef, sardines, fennel, Berkshire bacon) over an open flame, at prices that most steakhouses leave behind early. The Butcher's Steak, hanger with garlic butter at $34, is what most tables build around, though the spinach gratin and grilled eggplant with fried goat cheese are both worth ordering. No reservations.
