Crow Hill Bistro?

Anyone know what's going on with Crow Hill Bistro? I went by for brunch some weeks ago and it was closed. And a friend mentioned yesterday that she has gone by a few times more recently and they were closed. And someone on their Facebook page writes "Hey folks--everything ok? We came by Tuesday but you were closed, and there's no answering machine picking up calls..." No one has yet responded. Any news?

    I was wondering the same thing. Their potted plants are still outside but the metal shutter has been down for over a week.

    :-( This was my only alternative to Franklin Park.

    Please re-open soon! I like alternatives!

    Actually when I visited and they were closed it was a weekend in July ... maybe the 24th/25th ... so they have been closed for a while. But you would think that SOMEONE would know what is going on. They are a staple in the neighborhood!

    That would suck. We only went once (with that Groupon), but the food was very good. Service was extremely slow, but you could tell they were trying. It was a nice hang...

    I've been a few times ....it was either super packed or completely empty.

    tough to run a business that way.

    I had a Groupon to Bussaco in Park Slope. They closed before I could use it. I called up Groupon; they refunded me my money. No hassle.

    But I REALLY hope that Crow Hill is not closed for good and that you won't even have to worry about that.

    I did the same as theindecisionpigeon -- so we shall see. I only went once and it was nice. Slow service, but nice.

    bumping this back up - i e-mailed groupon again, and since the rep for crow hill hasn't heard back from the restaurant, they're going to issue me a refund for the groupon i purchased.

    for any of you who may have purchased the same, my contact was:

    Seems like this is the sad answer to Crow Hill Bistro's fate :(

    indeed.

    "Landlord Possession" notices are posted after landlord have "won" a legal battle to evict a commercial tenant.

    Causes are usually:

    Failure to pay rent.
    Breaking some other term of the lease (like noise or dirt)

    RIP Crow Hill Bistro
