Bozu
296 Grand StSushi/Japanese. Great food + nice interior, modestly priced.
Local, farm to table, seasonal menu. This is probably one of the best restaurants in Williamsburg..highly recommended. On the slightly pricier side but always worth it.

Great bakery but where they shine is their PIES.. You can even buy small individual sized ones if you can't decide one on flavor (constant problem for me). They also have coffee if you need that too.
