The Grocery is by far the best restaurant on a very good restaurant row - Smith Street in Carroll Gardens. You just have to talk the (kinda) weird owner into giving you a table. We needed four for 8:30, and he'd only give us 7:30 (too early) or 9 (late) cuz it's small - although when that hour arrived, there were two empty tables. Go figure. If you can get past this, you will have a fabulous meal. Pricier than most of Brooklyn, but well worth it.
Pros: Food, Value, Service
Cons: Owner reluctant to, give out tables.....
