About
Welcome to The Grounds Of Brooklyn, a hidden gem nestled at 1117 Newkirk Ave, Brooklyn, NY. This cozy eatery offers a delightful twist on traditional dining, providing a warm ambiance that invites you in for a memorable culinary experience. With a phone number to call for reservations, +1 718-676-0373, this spot is perfect for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I was captivated by the menu's thoughtfully curated selections, ranging from mouthwatering grilled meats to creative burgers and seasonal offerings. The Land & Sea Ribeye—a 16 oz delight—comes expertly cooked to your preferred temperature, paired with chargrilled cherry tomatoes, seasonal vegetables, and your choice of creamy Yukon gold mashed potatoes or rosemary skinny fries. This dish epitomizes the quality and flair found at The Grounds.
The burger offerings caught my attention as well, especially the Bugatti Burger, featuring marinated king prawn shrimp combined with a 100% grass-fed beef patty, artisanal goat cheese, and a drizzle of Harissa-infused sauce. Each element comes together harmoniously to create a bite that is as delightful as it is decadent. Equally enticing is the Salmon Burger, hand-formed and topped with a refreshing Greek yogurt spread.
For those seeking something lighter yet equally fulfilling, the Panuozzo & Piadina section does not disappoint. The Roasted Vegetables & Burrata Antipasti Panuozzo embodies the essence of freshness, with arugula and roasted tomatoes enhancing every mouthful. This dish, like much of the menu, is evidence of the kitchen's commitment to quality ingredients and rich flavors.
But it’s not just the food that shines here; it’s the service and atmosphere that truly elevate the experience. As mentioned by patrons like Imani W and Gina Harris, the attentiveness of staff members, including George, elevates the entire dining experience. Reviews highlight the cozy, almost intimate vibe of the restaurant, perfect for unwinding with friends or family.
Even without alcoholic options, the selection of mocktails receives rave reviews, providing refreshing alternatives that expertly complement the food. The Grounds Of Brooklyn strikes me as a place where creativity meets hospitality, making each visit a unique adventure in taste.
So, whether you're indulging in the flavorful Grilled Octopus or savoring the Chicken Herb Marinated Wood-Fired Oven Roasted Leg Quarter, there's something for everyone at this Brooklyn eatery. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to The Grounds Of Brooklyn—you’ll find exquisite food, attentive service, and a character as genuine as its offerings.
“ This place is definitely a hole-in-the wall. Very cozy atmosphere and great service, our waiter George, was very attentive to our needs especially as a bigger party (8 of us). Definitely recommend the lamb burgers that come with fries! They were absolutely delicious and the fries were amazing. The place is beautiful and definitely slept on! Would recommend!! ”
“ The pizza, the seafood pasta, and burger was magnificent! It’s a great neighborhood restaurant. George is so kind, he convinced me to try the pizza and I’m happy he did.also mocktail was 10/10. ”
“ I just had my first lunch here today after seeing several post on social media about this place. It looks like right now they are still not doing indoor dining, which is fine. The little "pods" outside are super cute, clean and very warm. The food and service is really good as well. The only issue (which is not major) is that they don't serve any alcohol. The menu looks limited, but the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back again! ”
“ A very nice and quiet place, the food is excellent, the virgin drinks are delicious. And the service is 5 stars. Highly recommended. ”
“ Great food. My daughter was in the mood for fettuccini alfredo with chicken. Although it's not on the menu, they still were able to make it for her. We also had the lamb ravioli and the skirt steak. They were delicious. For an appetizer we had the chicken pizza. We tried their mocktails and they were very good. Service was outstanding. ”
“ This restaurant has extremely delicious pizza. I have only eaten such good pizza in Europe. I recommend it. ”
“ George is just a chill dude what some would consider timid but he is good! He recommended great options and held great convo. I had the paperdelle pasta (great) and the cacio w/chicken parm on top (light, buttery and great). Also the rice balls for appetizers. 10/10 EVERYTHINGGGGG oh and the lychee mojito is a musttttttt. ”
“ This hidden gem has become the go to spot for me and my seven year old son. We had the Pizza alla parmigiana, the margherita pizza, both were SOOOO delicious. On other occasions we tried the meatballs, the chicken parmigiana and salad. The mocktails are amazing as well. My favorite is the lychee mojito and my son loves the blue lagoon. The rose Martini was ok. George appears shy or timid, but he's super sweet and provides great service. My son never forgot his name. I highly recommend this place ”
