About Strange Delight:
Strange Delight is a lively seafood restaurant, cocktail bar, and oyster counter in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Inspired by New Orleans and taking cues from New York City’s rich oyster culture, Strange Delight has been praised for how it “treats the Crescent City with subtlety and studiousness, without sacrificing any fun” by The New Yorker.
Strange Delight is from longtime industry veterans Executive Chef Ham El-Waylly (Empellón, WD-50, Corton), Anoop Pillarisetti (Momofuku Group, Pok Pok, Shake Shack), and Michael Tuiach (Naya, Moonburger, Shake Shack).
