Krupa Grocery — Restaurant in New York

I had a delicious lunch today at Krupa Grocery in Windsor Terrace. The food and service were spot on (thank you Kaitlin and Armando) ~ even the manager, Tom, came by our table to be sure everything exceeded our expectations!

This tastefully decorated restaurant is comfortable and features a beautiful backyard as well as tables and a bar.

We began with two refreshing Arnold Palmers, then split orders of chicken liver pate deviled eggs and and risotto balls. Both were fresh and bursting with flavor. My buddy then had a shrimp burger and I the angus beef burger accompanies with their salt and vinegar & curry fingerlings (potatoes). My one minor suggestion would be to ask for the burger with a bit less of the sauce because as delicious as it was, it tended to mask the exceptional quality of the burger itself.

For dessert we made room for their s'more pie that was decadently good and went well with their delicious brewed coffee that I had or the cappuccino my buddy went with.

Top of my to do list for next visit will be the lemon ricotta pancakes!

Thank you Krupa Grocery for a beyond...

After a late afternoon visit with friends, they recommended that we would love having dinner at Krupa Grocery . And they were absolutely right! We had such a fabulous dinner that we are considering moving to this wonderful Brooklyn neighborhood that has so many wonderful restaurants. We started by sharing a “ yellow gazpacho” made with yellow tomatoes, cucumbers and “summer kiss melons”. Since we were sharing the soup, our server made sure for each of us to be served ( what seemed like) a bowl of the most delicious gazpacho we’ve enjoyed this summer. We also ordered Ricotta Gnocchi that was so tender with subtle flavors including basil, cherry tomatoes Pinot Grigio and black sesame seeds. I also thought I could taste a hint of orange zest. In any case it was a great choice. We also devoured a warm beet salad and crispy Brussel sprouts! Needless to say, while it was our first time dining at Krupa Grocery, we will definitely...

We decided to have a late lunch at Krupa, a decision that I regret. While the staff is friendly, but a bit scatterbrained, the owner came across as someone that needs to speak to a professional urgently.

As the food was somewhat bland and overpriced we left a less than glorious review on yelp. After a minute or so the owner sneaks by and says “thanks for the review” with a mildly sarcastic tone. He then progressed to stand behind us a take a photo of us sitting down. He then scurries away and hides in his office. We end up having to ask the waitress to see him. After a heated argument he finally agrees to delete the picture.

This was a truly bizarre experience, unmatched by any prior dining experience I’ve ever had. This is a place where you shouldn’t go.

Adding to it, my wife is black, I would hate that it played into his decision to give us attitude.

The whole adventure felt like the sequel...
