About Confidant
Confidant is a practical Brooklyn pick for New American dining when wine matters and the group wants an easier plan than a high-demand destination table. Lunch is the safer first visit; dinner is the better call if the wine list is central to the meal.
Confidant is a Brooklyn restaurant serving New American cooking, with service listed Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner and closures on Monday and Tuesday. The clearest verified recognition is Star Wine List (2026), so it is reasonable to consider it when a New American meal and a documented wine-list accolade are part of the brief. Beyond that, details such as menu specifics, chef background, pricing, seating format, service style are not verified here, so plan around the confirmed basics rather than a more specific premise.
Choose it for New American cooking with a documented wine-list signal
Brooklyn has many ways to approach New American dining, from casual neighborhood meals to more destination-driven dinners. Confidant's verified profile is narrower and clearer: New American cuisine, smart casual dress, lunch and dinner hours Wednesday through Sunday, Star Wine List recognition in 2026. That makes it most useful for diners who want a direct Brooklyn option with a confirmed wine-list note, rather than a restaurant defined here by a named chef, tasting menu, signature dish, or price point.
Because menu detail, chef background, pricing, seating format are not pinned down here, the safest expectation is category-led rather than dish-led: New American cooking in Brooklyn with a recognized wine-list component. If the goal is a broader Brooklyn-wide scan before committing, use our full Brooklyn restaurants guide first.
Lunch and dinner are both on the verified schedule
Confidant lists lunch and dinner service Wednesday through Sunday: 11 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM. It is closed Monday and Tuesday. That schedule makes it viable for either an earlier New American meal or an evening reservation, depending on the group's timing.
The available verified information does not establish a specific neighborhood setting, room style, service format, or price level.

Where it fits among Brooklyn and New American choices
If Confidant is unavailable or the brief changes, diners can compare it with other options by occasion rather than by unverified menu details. Olmsted is another New American reference point in Brooklyn. Vinegar Hill House is a useful comparison for a Brooklyn meal with a different feel. Honey Badger is another Brooklyn option to consider when looking beyond Confidant.
For a plan outside Brooklyn, Manhatta and Temple Court can be considered separately. The most grounded way to cross-shop Confidant is to start with what is verified: New American cuisine, Brooklyn location, smart casual dress, Wednesday-through-Sunday lunch and dinner hours, Star Wine List recognition in 2026.

How Confidant compares in Brooklyn
Confidant is the easier, more flexible play compared with Olmsted, which is better for diners prioritizing a destination New American meal with stronger name recognition. If the brief is a lower-friction Brooklyn lunch or dinner with a wine-led reason to go, Confidant makes more sense; if the meal needs to feel like the main event, Olmsted is the stronger target.
Vinegar Hill House is the better cross-shop for a neighborhood-feeling New American meal, while Honey Badger is the more adventurous choice for diners who want a less conventional format. Confidant lands between those poles: less defined by a signature personality, more useful for groups that want New American cooking and a credible wine angle without over-planning.
Against Manhattan options like Manhatta and Temple Court, Confidant is the Brooklyn-specific choice for readers already spending time in Sunset Park or nearby. Pick Manhatta or Temple Court when the room and downtown setting matter more; pick Confidant when convenience, wine interest, a calmer Brooklyn plan matter more than skyline drama.
