The restaurant\u2019s ambience and food are a good match for its setting. The 40-seat space is the embodiment of warm and cozy, quirky but not off-puttingly so. Vinegar Hill House is a period piece, with vintage-y wallpaper, rough-hewn-wood furniture, and old-timey lanterns giving off a soft, warm glow (and\u2014watch out!\u2014 a trail of dripping candle wax). For no particular reason, a Colonial flag adorns one wall and part of a pipe organ hangs behind the copper-topped bar, where a pewter samovar dispenses hot cider. Rich cream-cheese-frosted Guinness cakes sit on shelves by the open kitchen, an autumnal version of the windowsill pies of summer. The braised lamb shoulder is a satisfying and tender, mingled with black chickpeas and melting fennel bulbs. Accompany it with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts or horseradish-enhanced mashed potatoes and you have a feast fit for a Navy Yard rear admiral, if not a brooding Vinegar Hill artist.<\/span><span class=\"byline\" style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/vinegar2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-7413 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/vinegar2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"vinegar2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/vinegar2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/brooklynbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/10\/vinegar2.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Vinegar Hill House<br \/>\n72 Hudson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11201<br \/>\n(718) 522-1018<br \/>\nvinegarhillhouse.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this 40-seat restaurant named after the neighborhood just north of Dumbo, chef-partner Jean Adamson cooks most of her seasonal American comfort food dishes, like a pork belly\u2013and\u2013collard green tart, out of a wood-fired oven.
