Allswell

The menu at this Williamsburg gastropub, from Spotted Pig veteran Nate Smith, changes daily based on what’s available at the market. You can usually expect a wonderful pasta tossed with whichever greens are of the moment (pole beans, pesto and zucchini on a typical spring night, for example); a beautifully done half-chicken with seasonal accouterments; and a pick from left field, such as beef heart crostini. It’s a great place to stop in for a few fancy cocktails and small plates like oysters and housemade bread dipped in ricotta, or to make a night out of it with large dishes and a bottle from the well-groomed wine list. Brunch and lunch are also excellent. Indagare tip: Allswell updates its website with the menu of the day every morning.
