ESME

opened in the late summer of 2014 with the idea that one day we could become a neighborhood restaurant and gathering place for the community as beloved as the places that inspired us in our youth. We strive to be a welcoming go-to for all occasions — first dates and family dinners, spontaneous brunch with friends and celebrations over oysters and cocktails.

Nearly a decade later, we are proud to be a thriving gathering place for residents and Brooklyn’s larger culinary scene. Our warm and capable team works each day to bring together thoughtfully prepared food and drink in a modern room with good vibes to get together and break bread.
