About Esme

Esme is owned by the trio and Greenpoint-locals, Brandon Chamberlain, Matt Ricke and Nathan Ricke. Together with executive chef, Adam Volk, Esme has come to be a down-to-earth place where everyone is welcome. The food is unpretentious, but really, really good, and the kitchen celebrates classic American comfort food with an Esme spin to it.

The décor is welcoming and homely, paying homage to the neighborhood. The benches come from a local church, while the chairs are from an old German school, found at a Greenpoint vintage dealer. With huge windows facing Manhattan Avenue, Esme gives a great opportunity to do some people-watching. The restaurant is a true neighborhood gem, but its cozyness and food attract people from all over the city.
