History and offerings

History

The restaurant replaced contemporary American establishment Dressler, [2] which closed in 2013 after seven years in business. [3] Husband and wife Polo Dobkin and Stephanie Lempert own Meadowsweet. [4] Dobkin was the executive chef at Dressler, though he left the restaurant in 2012 to start his own establishment. [5] Dobkin did not find a space he found appealing after leaving, [6] and when Dressler closed he signed a 20-year lease for the space. [5] Dobkin also found the space attractive in part due to foot traffic from the Williamsburg Bridge. [5]

The restaurant's menus draw inspiration from Mediterranean cuisine. [7]

Reviews and accolades

The restaurant earned a Michelin star in 2015. [8] Dressler had previously received a star while Dobkin was executive chef. [8]
