All the hype Marlow and Sons has been receiving these past few months is one reason to visit the Williamsburg, Brooklyn-based gourmet store-cum-restaurant. The other is their amazingly honest, down-to-earth food, which changes according to season and the availability from local producers.The oysters are guaranteed to be fresh and briny, plucked straight from icy east coast waters and at $2.75 each, they’re worth every slurping mouthful. The menu includes ever-rotating-with-the-seasons crostini, soup, salad, panini, pasta, brick chicken, and fish, as well as a well-edited selection of cheeses and cured meats.
One of the most satisfying dishes during a past visit was a creamy, locally-made Salvatore Bklyn Ricotta crostini, drizzled with honey, thyme and mint, and topped with a generous dollop of poached rhubarb.
And, while the service is a gamble, dessert is a sure fire hit - the words "chocolate-caramel tart" are all that are needed to get a decadently rich, sea-salt enhanced slice of heaven. One of the best ways I've found to end a night out.

Hi Rebekah,
Is this sort of Dean & DeLuca "ish" or beyond that? I am headed out to NY in the next few months and may check it out.

Hi Marc,
Marlow and Sons is definitely a sit down restaurant - with a food shop included (one product they have is Caffe Sant' Eustachio - one of my favorite coffee places to visit in Rome). It's worth the trip for both the Nutella-lined shelves and the inspired, seasonal dishes. It was named one of 12 "restaurants that matter" in Saveur magazine and has been getting increasing press in the past few months.
I have quite a few more restaurants out here to recommend if you're interested!
