I’ve lived in NYC for the past 8 years, and this was one of the best meals and experiences I’ve had in recent memory. We were well taken care of by Zee—a clear expert on the menu who was thoughtful in her approach and suggestions. I found her refreshingly honest and caring without being overbearing. Drinks and food combination were stellar, unique, timely, and aesthetic. What a treat and getting to know Zee and Jason Driver was also a delight.
I’d hope you all get the experience that we had with Zee and Mr. Jason Driver—do yourself a favor and sit at the bar and let them do the rest. This place deserves to blow up via TikTok or some viral video but I’m hoping selfishly, it does not.

A truly special meal. Good Days lives up to its name—it genuinely creates good days.
My friend and I arrived without many expectations, but we were quickly blown away by the warm, attentive hospitality, the inventive cocktails (salt-infused honey is a revelation), and a lineup of fantastic dishes.
We ordered the bread, endive Caesar, swordfish, agnolotti, and the steak frites. Somehow each bite of food was better than the last. The martini and salty bass were also some of the best cocktails I’ve had in this city.
Big thanks to our server and bartender, Zee, and her counterpart, Jason. Their skill, guidance, and generosity made the night. If you can, grab a seat at the bar and follow their recommendations - you won’t be disappointed.

Hello- normally don't write review, but woke up still thinking about this meal, the service, the atmosphere. Came here for a lil girls night with a friend and we were just blown away. Great atmosphere our server Z was great and so was all the staff. The food, phenomenal I sent this to multiple people to try on my ride home. I feel like this place by next summer is about to be booked out so go now before everyone finds out about it hahaha. Any way recommendations other than everything we got... Hamachi Crudo, I threatened to lick the plate, simply put, amazing... The Caesar... Swordfish Milanesa... Like honestly can't go wrong. Okay I think I'm done, not an influencer just a person that likes a good meal and OH the drinks highly recommend the moon river. Okay now I'm done. Go Go Go! Make a res why are you still reading this!

New favorite restaurant without a doubt! We had the coziest most delicious Saturday night here. The cocktails are out of this world. The service was delightful and we got to meet one of the owners who was so kind and brought out an extra butter to try with our bread. The Japanese sweet potato is dreamy. The agnolotti??? Just wow. Already made my next reservation and can’t wait. Total gem and so happy they’re in the neighborhood!!

We enjoyed our visit. It’s a cozy atmosphere, the drinks were good and our entrees were delicious. One minor detail that detracted - The “breads” starter was a little underwhelming. We would have preferred warm bread or something a little more unusual and more butter - the ratio was really off. I am rooting for them to succeed.

This is such a cute spot with delicious food and a cozy ambiance. The croquettes, 1000 layer sweet potato, and the different butters for the bread were especially my favorites - so yummy! Will be back!

Go. To. Good Days. Now.
The restaurant is everything you could want as a New Yorker (or human) who enjoys good food, great drinks, a fab atmosphere and top notch service. As a new addition to the neighborhood, I am THRILLED that it landed in Brooklyn. It easily falls into my top 3 restaurants ever.
To know: The location is everything. It’s right between the L Train (Bedford Ave) and the J train (Marcy Ave). It’s a few blocks from the hype bars of North 5th - North 9th on Bedford so you aren’t shoulder to shoulder with people on the street and right next to the Williamsburg Bridge… similar to a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
The vibe: Fabulous. It’s one of those, “walk down a few steps to enter”, dimly lit, chic NYC spots. The bar is welcoming and warm and the decor is so fab. Walking through the restaurant it opens up into seating that continues until you hit the outside patio area which is going to be jampacked in the summer. There’s even an outdoor bar. I’m so glad that I found this place so I know exactly where to go year round. Almost like it’s too cute to have good food… But wait.
The drinks: I like to drink. A lot of people say I’m really good at it.. so I know a good drink when I have one. Ol’ Salty Bastard is for sure the drink that I will have every time I go.. or maybe the Mezcal Negroni.. Probably both.
The food: East Coast Oysters Sobrasada Bocadillo Fontina Croquettes Bottarga Bucatini Pan Seared Duck
We were so excited, we had to try a little of everything and I’m drooling thinking about it.. the food was unreal.
Can’t say enough good things about Good Days. It was the best time and I will be back over and over.
10/10 experience, beautiful space, so thoughtful and intentional. Chef Steph and Amanda created a beautiful space for the neighborhood with incredible cocktails and menu. Every single cocktail and every single menu item has been phenomenal. The shrimp cocktail is a must, whatever secret stock they’re using makes it. Also as someone w a dairy allergy, the team is more than accommodating. I had the mushroom cavatelli tonight and that was an 11/10. The agnolotti is also incredible and the tinned mussels w chive butter is a must. We love what the team are doing here, and it shows that they really care.

I can say this without hyperbole, Good Days curated one of the best dining experiences I’ve had this year.
The team (shout out Liz our server), the ambiance, the cocktails, the food, and the overall hospitality was beyond impressive.
For a new restaurant to be operating on all cylinders shows that ownership knows what they’re doing and care deeply about the product, the community, and their employees.
Try the old salty bastard please!! The bocadillo was perfect. The duck, the swordfish milanese, and the burger are a must get. Be prepared not to share.
Will be back often!

Incredible food, firstly! Both limone agnolotti and chicken liver parfait were something special! It’s a genuinely warm and attentive staff that makes the experience even more meaningful. Plus, in a beautifully designed space. Williamsburg is better for this spot opening!
