Clover Hill exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and creative. I feel there is always one dish in a tasting menu that is a disappointment or lack luster but that was complete untrue here — each dish was a star.
The service was excellent and the staff was so kind and accommodating. The pace of the meal was also spot on.
The wine pairings were exceptional!! We have strong opinions in this area and were surprised and delighted by Debbie’s choices. Highly recommend adding the pairing
Thank you to the clover hill team for taking such great care of us!

The saucier deserves a raise because start to finish the sauces were the stars of the meal. From the coconut milk pepper sauce on the halibut to the mesquite creme anglaise with the chocolate tart.

My first visit in 2023 was the best meal I had ever had. My expectations were through the roof and they didn’t disappoint. Even with a new Chef, it was a fantastic dinning experience and I loved the new spin on each dish. I highly recommend and will be back on my next trip to NYC.

Incredible. This spot is a gem

Tucked in a quiet Brooklyn Heights block, the setting was rather casual, which was ideal for a celebration. The menu was focused on seafood and we had scallops, bluefin tuna and wagyu, all the dishes were very tasty, however the courses did not have a clear connection. The cocktails were strong but smooth and the desserts made me want to have more. Chef Charlie Mitchell is a maestro in the kitchen and I would encourage everyone to have a taste of his delicious dishes at Clover Hill.

From the moment we arrived the experience was awkward and lacked the level of service expected of a Michelin star restaurant. Our reservation was at 5:30 and we arrived at 5:15. Despite the entire team seeing us standing outside, in the cold, knocking on the door and even calling inside, we were not let inside for 10min. If there’s a strict policy around being seated before the reservation why not broadcast this beforehand? Either way, at least have the decency to come to the door OR answer the phone and acknowledge that we’re there. It was bizarre just standing there, outside watching the team avoid eye contact and pretend we weren’t there.
Then there’s the food…In 2024, what restaurant of this “caliber” doesn’t offer a spirit free drink selection? I’m doing IVF and being offered sparking tea (is this tea x sparkling water?) and ginger beer was annoyingly disappointing. Even The Smith has a mocktail list! The menu itself was boring and one note…muted flavors and chewy, oddly prepared meats. I distinctly remember the quail having a scorched taste to it. Expect this star to fall. There are so many better options in BK.

We had high expectations and were blown away by the lovely service and delicious food. This restaurant is cozy and warm, tucked away in a quiet Brooklyn neighborhood.
It’s rare to see a dining service executed so flawlessly, especially with wine pairings! Our som was fun and impressive. I enjoyed the sparkling herbal tea (their mocktail offering).
I’d recommend you treat yourself to this dining experience and place all trust in the chef and the staff to guide your evening.
I loved that you don’t see the menu until the end, when they hand it to you sealed with wax to take home.
We were unfortunately very disappointed with our experience. We had heard so many good things and found it very overrated and overpriced, maybe due to the recent change in chef. The atmosphere and wine were extremely good though.

It’s surprising that this small restaurant holds both the James Beard Award for Best Chef in New York and a Michelin One Star.
The bar seats are nice because you can watch the chefs at work, but it’s very dimly lit, so a table might be a better choice.
Even though the head chef has changed, it seems the dishes now have richer flavors, perhaps due to the added South American influences.
This was one of the finest restaurants I’ve ever visited, and even the desserts were fantastic.

The 9 course tasting menu was spot on. Staff was cordial, polite and professional. Wine pairing was great. Each course was surprising and well portioned. It was great to have a toilet with aromatic candles!
