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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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
