"If you walked into Antidote without prior knowledge, you might not guess they serve Sichuan food. There are no hanging lanterns or red dragons and, like many restaurants on the Williamsburg waterfront, it looks more like a concrete bunker with plants sprouting up inside of it. But this one serves fresh baskets of dim sum, pungent, pickled fish stew, and tea-smoked duck with crispy skin that tastes like candy. It’s a solid date spot, especially when they have live music in the center of the serene space. " - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan
