The Downtown Grocery - Ludlow

Celebrated a birthday at the DG. Service was fabulous attentive and informative. Food was great and looked beautiful.Treat yourself and enjoy!

This was truly an unforgettable meal. The food was very high-end but not pretentious; the service was very welcoming. I would go out of my way to dine here again.

This is definitely one of the top restaurants in Ludlow.Just the two owners running the place, so not many seatings per night. But this is really a culinary delight food is so well prepared could have been eating at a top restaurant in NYC.We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Shrimp and Grits and both were some of the best we ever had. Everything homemade, including the bread that comes out for starters. Also, they add some top bartending skills to their repertoire. And given that they only have limited seating, its a very intimate and pleasant setting. The one downside is that the prices are high, but you are getting what you pay for. Just need to make reservations well in advance we took the 5:30 seating just so we could get in.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was superb! Abby was extremely welcoming and obviously very passionate about their menu. We really loved the homey feel of the restaurant. We started with a dozen oysters $40), which was also the highlight of the meal. Accompanied with a lot of gifts from the chef, such as a risotto ball and fresh made hummus and pita, we left stuffed after our entree of jumbo shrimp. We didn’t know about the changing seasonal menu but the food was still delicious. A definite must try in Ludlow!

Oh my squash! Delightful, amazing intuition, food beyond great! Neat couple and place. One of the best special meals we have ever had in a niche place. It was that good! And so reasonably priced. The peach bourbon cocktail…a m a z i n g! I would go back 10 times over.
