Confidant Is a Neighborhood Joint That’s Found Its Neighbors

After its initial run in Sunset Park, Confidant has reopened at 127 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn Heights. Founders Brendan Kelley and Daniel Grossman, both Roberta’s alumni, moved the concept to the space formerly occupied by Colonie after finding that the industrial setting of Industry City struggled to attract a consistent evening crowd.

The new iteration positions itself as a versatile neighborhood hub, featuring a dim date-night atmosphere and a menu that balances sophisticated comfort food with accessibility. Notable dishes include a prawn pot pie, red-sauce rigatoni with 'nduja, trout mousse on sourdough, and dry-aged duck breast. The establishment offers both reservation-based seating and a front bar for walk-ins.
