Confidant

Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

Confidant, helmed by Roberta's alums Brendan Kelley and Daniel Grossman, initially launched in Industry City as its first full-service restaurant, a bold move in an area known more for big-box stores than fine dining. After a brief run, they wisely relocated to a cozier, more residential spot on Atlantic Avenue, bringing their sophisticated comfort food to a neighborhood hungry for it. It's the kind of place where you feel like you're dining in their home, filled with family heirlooms and a soundtrack that just hits right.

★ The Legend
Prawn Pot Pie
This dish is a true showstopper, inspired by Chef Grossman's time at Gage & Tollner. It features a dramatically flaky, buttery crust crowning a rich bisque filled with sweet, snappy shrimp, turnips, onions, and a gentle warmth from Espelette peppers.
◆ Fan Favorite
Trout Mousse
A dish that regulars consistently rave about, the trout mousse is a nod to Chef Kelley's roots out west. It's whipped to a light, airy texture, studded with smoked trout roe, and generously piped onto thick slices of chewy sourdough.
● Chef's Pick
Spaghetti al Funghi
Chef Grossman has highlighted this pasta dish, which harks back to his and Kelley's time at Roberta's. It's a tangled, earthy, and briny delight, elevated with seaweed butter and a crunchy gremolata.
◇ Hidden Gem
Biscuit Tortoni
Most first-timers might overlook this dessert, but it's a near-perfect, old-school treat. It's an almond semifreddo served over amaretti, complete with maraschino cherries, offering a delightful textural contrast and a nostalgic flavor.
Insider Tip

Don't just stick to the main dining room; try to snag a seat at the back counter, which functions as a low-key chef's table. You get a front-row view of Chefs Kelley and Grossman at work, offering a more intimate and engaging dining experience as you watch them craft their inventive dishes.
