With its dark wood furnishings and cozy atmosphere, St. Anselm serves fresh American fare with an irresistible twist. Starter options include the grilled trio of eggplant topped with fried goat cheese, the grilled artichoke hearts and the walnut bread with whipped sheep’s milk butter. Entrée items, such as the veal flank steak chimichurri, the sweet tea brined young bobo chicken and the whole mackerel in a lime peppercorn sauce, excellently display St. Anselm’s modern take on traditional dishes. The inventiveness continues in the dessert course, where items such as the coconut cream cake with lime and the rum sticky toffee cake with whipped cream are sweet knockouts. Enjoy your dinner with a cold beer provided by one of Brooklyn’s local breweries, which St. Anselm has on draught, such as the crisp Brooklyn Pilsner or the tangy Brooklyn Cider House.
