ask what they recommend! menu changes. when i went it was edmond. really let us stay for over two hours super friendly people

Achilles Heel is our neighborhood spot, but it is worthy of being a destination restaurant. Cool, very relaxed vibe, prompt and friendly service, and most importantly just flat out delicious food. The menu gets overhauled periodically -- and is definitely a limited menu -- but everything is great. On the current menu, the broccolini, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, beef salad, and fried chicken sandwich were all just fantastic. Great cocktails and wines by the glass complete the picture. This is an excellent place, and you'll be glad you went. In an area that is not short on great places to have dinner, AH is one we go back to.

A hidden gem that's sitting in broad daylight in Greenpoint! If I had more of an appetite, I would have gladly eaten more here! Great chef, great staff, and low-key vibes that keep casual but wouldn't feel out of place for a more special occasion. The Peach and Cucumber Salad is simple but elegant in its refreshing presence. It was a hot summers day while I was there, and those crisp cucumbers and sweet, ripe peaches comforted me through the swelling heatwave. Scallop Crudo was a joy with all the ingredients in a symphonic showcase, flexing their strength individually but within harmony. Outside of Michelin restaurants, I can't remember the last time I had a scallop that tasted this good! Even down to three attention if detail with the smattering of fresh red chili slices and grilled kohlrabi was such a joy to experience.

Local spot with killer drinks and fantastic food. Their kitchen is constantly rotating menus and, though there's only ever five options, I've never had something that didnmt blow me away.

I really enjoyed my time here with a friend. The bartender was so friendly and attentive. The ambiance is chill but quirky. I had a glass of wine, a cider and we shared some bread and olives. The food and appetizer dishes lean towards the unique and spicy variant. I hope to come back soon and recommend this spot when you next find yourself in Greenpoint.

When we arrived for our reservation, on a Saturday night, it was packed and bustling. There were no tables! How would this be possible? "I'll have your table momentarily," the hostess said to us, and just by her assured tone and the look on her face, it was instantly apparent we would be just fine and this was a very well-run establishment. Indeed it was. After a short stop at a bar table to look over the menu, the restaurant moved as if in a ballet, and seated us a in a comfy table in a corner. Everything was fabulous. Everything. The servers, the vibe, the drinks, the food. Achilles Heel is such a gorgeous space, very old Brooklyn, and I feel there are so few of these types of places left. I got hooked on these very intensely flavored gibsons. I asked what was in them exactly. Not content to know only half the details, the server came back, after consulting with the bartender, with an interesting explanation that the base gin was actually house-infused with garlic and leeks. YUM. The food is great, served & plated expertly. I even loved how the omniscient She Wolf sourdough was served. The now Asian-inflected menu is worth exploring and salivating over. The chicken was a home run, but don't sleep on those rice cakes either, it was all just so good. I'd been to AH a million times on lazy Saturday afternoons, but it had been a while since we'd been back, and this was our first dinner. I was kind of blown away? We'll be back soon, and that's the best compliment I can give the team here. Highly recommended.

Gosh, the meal was good! Especially loved the La Sirena cocktail, hot bean dip, braised beef short ribs and sesame mochi cake. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Went on a Saturday night so the music playlist was loud but enjoyable.

We did not realize that there was a rotating menu so we were both surprised when we saw the Korean themed dinner menu. I was even more surprised to learn that the chef was Sunny of Banchan by Sunny. The last time I went to a pop up of hers was at the Essex St Marketplace when my friends and I enjoyed the entrees, but felt that the price of the banchan was exorbitant. Thankfully, it seems like she's changed the pricing and the banchan is just charged per plate, and not per person sampling them. We enjoyed the summer salad and the pork belly saam. The service was attentive and kind. We also enjoyed the outdoor space, and liked the proximity to the water front. We are interested to see who the next chef will be!
