Price: $195/pp, +$70/pp for the water pairing
Apologies for the not further descriptions/bad pics as with it being very dark and poor memory, I’m truly terrible at remembering dishes when they don’t give a written menu to correspond with what’s had, but this was an incredible meal!
They do different seasonal prix-fixe meals, this was Hunter’s Moon. Dishes can vary slightly each day as it’s all directly farm to table and locally sourced (the chef directly spoke to us about the tiny towns and farms each ingredient came from), but overall similar each day of the same ‘moon’ theme.
Some standouts were acorn ‘cheese’, bone marrow ice cream, and some very delicious cloud berry dishes.
But the main thing that makes me want to go back as soon as possible was the water pairing. I’d never heard of one before and after ending too many fine dining meals slightly bored (and a bit too buzzed) after 8 too similar wines, I was excited for this, and I’ve never had water this good before.
I believe there was around eight different waters, some including water from caves, ice bergs, fermented with mushrooms and various flowers, sparkling berry, and marshmallow root. (There was more/these may not be exact, but again- poor memory/no written menu)

This place has gotta be the most expensive spot in Brooklyn that I’ve never heard anyone talk about, and it’s been open for years. Thanks for the post!
Water pairing? I’ve worked in the beverage industry almost my entire adult life, have dedicated myself to it, but that seems like it’s jumping the shark.
So everyone is gonna ask about this water pairing, but tell me about this foot!
Would love to see how the items are described on the menu, but my first impression was it looks like a bunch of bullshit. Some of the presentations screamed “trying too hard.” Reading “water pairing” had me at definitely bullshit. Glad you enjoyed it and maybe my impressions are wrong.
So I got the regular alcohol pairing and loved it and at the very end they brought out two house ferments. I wasn’t sure whether that was part of the menu or the beverage pairing. Did you not get those? Just want to know for the future
I went in 2021 and I would love to go back again. It was a fun meal that reminded me in some ways of Fäviken’s commitment to locally-sourced product.
Would love to see the profit margins on a 70$ water pairing

I guess the $70 water isn’t covering all their costs.
The “First Floor” restaurant in Berlin had a water menu back with 40 choices when I visited 10+ years ago. As a connoisseur of sparkling water I’d definitely pay extra for extra-sparkling mountain water.
There’s a big difference and frankly it’s like asking for wine and not having choice between white or red.
I always double-gas my SodaStreams at home!
So how was that crack pipe that came with the “acorn cheese” in pic 1? Looks delish!
i love and support NA pairings but when i read “water pairing” it just makes me crack up
