"This Fort Greene restaurant is destination dining disguised as a humble neighborhood restaurant, and weekend brunch is no exception. At Sailor, menu items that sound simple, like a tomato grilled cheese or gruyère omelet, tend to have surprising twists that turn them into new classics. There are only 10 tables, so it’s a tough reservation, but you might be able to snag one of the walk-in bar seats if you come in early. The dishware is plain, the plating isn’t fussy, and the nautical themes make this place feel super casual, but don’t let that fool you—every meal here feels like a special occasion.
