    I went back for a second time, for dinner, had a great time! Food, service, drinks (I like Gerogian brandy Chacha very much). The staff is kind, attentive and professional, especially Davit. Going with friends again as soon as I am back in NYC.

    First of all, it took over an hour in a half to get our food served. Rez at 8. Food came at 9:27 Second, We paid $28 for "ribs" which did not even have any meat on them. Plus, it was four total ribs for $28. ridiculous. They were small and did not have any food on them, literally, it was fried bone. We were so fed up with the place we paid and left and didn't even want to get into an argument with them. $100 down the drain. Waste of our time and completely ruined our night. Do not go.

    Enjoyed a nice meal with a friend at the Williamsburg Cheeseboat. The ambience is definitely better than it’s Hell’s Kitchen counterpart, with dimmed lighting and trendy decor. The food was 10/10, per usual. The cheeseboats are a must-have, and we also enjoyed our cocktails. The service was a bit slow and we did have to flag down the waiter to order after 30 minutes.

    The seating was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I felt overly crammed in. I was constantly getting bumped into every time someone (especially the waitress or food runner) walked by. We wanted to order more food, but the size of the table barley even allowed for us to eat two cheeseboats. The service was lacking. I would have loved for a refill on my wine, but we were only checked on right after the food was dropped off. The food runner didn’t even have the decency to place the food on the table, he just stuck the plate basically in my face and I was afraid to take it because I was not sure if the plate was going to be hot. The food wasn’t as hot as I would have anticipated. I’d return again, because the cheeseboats were pretty good and we would have ordered more food to try more things if the table was large enough to accommodate, but I’d lower my initial expectations on attentive service or order the food as takeout.

    This is my cheese-loving daughter's favorite place on earth. We came for her 12th birthday and she was treated like a queen by the wonderful, warm staff. For an extra bonus, ask them about the country of Georgia and hear them wax poetic about this amazing country. Just make sure you bring Lactaid. Lots and lots of Lactaid!

    Really lovely first time visit to Cheeseboat! Loved the Georgian salad, pork ribs, cheeseboat and dumplings! Really well done. The white wine by the glass is a Pinot Grigio but it was not good- get a bottle of something else instead. Will be back!

    This was a while ago but we made a reservation for 10:15pm and when we got there they told us they were no longer seating but would give us take out. We went with that option, and the food was good. It’s just a different experience as take out.

    The food was excellent otherwise this would be a one star. The waitress was. Not very friendly or helpful. The food came one dish at a time because she thought we wanted to share, she didn’t ask about sharing. One of us went to complain and am the manager said she would come over, never did. Wouldn’t recommend or go there again.

    My wife and I visited with a Pulsd voucher. We enjoyed soup dumplings, a leek cheeseboat, a dessert pastry, a Georgian brandy (that may be my new favorite), and a beautiful Georgian bottle of wine. The service was great, being back to dining in an excellent restaurant was great. The whole night was a lot of fun and a return to semi-normal NYC life. I cannot recommend the restaurant highly enough.

    The service was abysmal. We specifically asked for our entree to be brought last, and it was brought before our drinks, which took more than 25 minutes. Our server forgot about our appetizers, which took another 45 minutes, and only one came. The item we asked for first came 1.5 hours after sitting down, and it took half an hour to get our check. On top of this, the bill included an 18% service fee which felt like a slap in the face, as we would have left, at most, 5%. We won't be returning.

    Amazing amazing food and very sweet wait staff. When we were there, I’m not kidding, there was FOUR different birthdays being celebrated, so I think it’s a favorite spot for a lot of different people. Delicious.
