rider

Rider opened recently in Williamsburg, and with it came a lot of hype. I had read article after article singing the praises of this American bistro & bar, so I was anxious to try it out. It was just an added bonus that it's literally around the corner from home. The interior downstairs is bright & light, with marble counters, tile tabletops & white brick walls. The upstairs offers a completely different feel- much more sleek & dark. Options for everyone! My husband and I were blown away- not just by the food, which was extremely delicious, but also with the service. The team was super helpful & generous, and we loved their attention to detail. Everything we ate was fresh, flavorful, and extremely well balanced. I cannot wait to go back for brunch!
