Profile

After working as a set designer in L.A., Sosie Hublitz moved home to Virginia, where she opened, built, or ran half a dozen restaurants. Her last, the year-old Kitchen Table, was wiped out in 2004 by Hurricane Gaston. Since relocated to Cobble Hill, she’s teamed with the owners of Building on Bond (who also operate design firm Hecho Inc.) on Watty & Meg, taking over the space previously occupied by Caffe Carciofo. The restaurant takes its name from a ballad by Scottish naturalist Alexander Wilson, and its salvaged furnishings from the greater metropolitan area: bookshelves from Astoria, church pews from Harlem, tiles from City Hall. The American menu is thoroughly eclectic, nodding to the South with shrimp and grits and to Hublitz’s yoga-teacher sideline with quinoa stew and a weekly “raw” special. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Stopped in on a rainy Sunday evening and had a nice meal without a wait. The host and our waitress were very accommodating. My companion ordered the rib-eye special which I thought was tough, but he liked it. My shrimp were great, but there was way too much cheese in the grits. It was more like cheese with some grits, however, it's hard to be negative about cheese. The collard greens were done well and we cleaned our plate of the iceberg wedge salad with gorgonzola. I'd stop in again for a nice evening out or maybe try brunch if it weren't too crowded.

welcome!!

Watty and Meg has one of the best atmospheres I've been to in Brooklyn, extremely cozy and a great outdoor sitting area. Amazing food! It became one of my favorite spots for brunch and I appreciate the use of organic eggs. The Portobello dish and the truffle asparagus were both incredible. I got the crispy skin salmon for dinner which was also perfectly made. It came with a side of quinoa cuscus that was delicious and original. The prices aren't cheap, but they aren't really expensive either, and really worth it for what you're getting. The stuff was very friendly. I had 2 good experiences!
