A New Williamsburg Bistro That's More Than Its Steak Frites

"The sobrasada bocadillo ($14) consists of paprika-rich spreadable pork between slices of sourdough. It's flattened, seared, cut into strips, and served with honey, evoking pepperoni pizza. What sets this shrimp cocktail (5 for $24) apart from all the others is the sauces: a tart housemade cocktail sauce, and a compelling creamy burnt-onion Dijonnaise. Topped with hazelnuts and fig balsamic, the agnolotti with sheep's milk ricotta and sage ($28) is a satisfying autumnal plate, especially if you're in need of a vegetarian main."

"With a wall full of windows at its front, the dimly lit dining room has a breezy, minimalist feel, though the fact that you take a step down to enter also offers the sense of entering a semi-secret hideaway. There are a few different zones here: the main dining room with the bar in front, a more intimate lounge area in the back, and a tucked-aside outdoor patio."

Good Days opened in Williamsburg as a modern American bistro by Stephany Burgos and Amanda Norton. The menu features small plates and mains that elevate bistro basics with thoughtful details such as a paprika-rich sobrasada bocadillo, a shrimp cocktail served with both tart housemade cocktail sauce and a creamy burnt-onion Dijonnaise, and agnolotti with sheep's-milk ricotta, hazelnuts, and fig balsamic. The dining room is dimly lit with a wall of windows, multiple seating zones, and a tucked outdoor patio. Prices feel reasonable for the neighborhood, with steak frites offered at value and smaller dishes showcasing the kitchen's potential.
