Introducing Bar Corvo--the BEST New American spot in CH!

Bar Corvo is just stunning! I went here a few days ago because I knew that Teddy's been gone for a while, and wanted to try out it's replacement! WOW was I beyond impressed. Not only were my fiance and I greeted and seated right away (major plus), but the waitress was really on top of EVERYTHING. Very quick, efficient, always checking on us while eating and gave us an all around excellent experience. In pertains to the food, I ordered the duck leg entree (A+++). I can say that when I usually order duck, it comes sliced. However, they way they prepared it was just unbelievable-right off the bone. Moist, with a tasty perfectly timed crust, and left me salivating for more! Not only that, but the sides were so tasty and filling. If you want a large and delectable portion, come to this spot! I would definitely recommend this to anyone. ANYONE in the PH area, please go check it out and enjoy this lil' community restaurant!

    Yup.

    We've been raving about the service and food quality on this thread since it opened.

    It seems busy every night I walk by.

    Was there not long ago, just beat the 7PM rush so got a pleasant table, and the food was delicious. Service was also warm and helpful....a great addition to the neighborhood.

    Agreed on all points, but we're claiming this one for Crown Heights, folks. It's on our side of the street :)

    It will soon open another location locally.

    We heard through the grapevine that the team behind al di là spinoff Bar Corvo had a new spot in the works, and co-owner Jacob Somers confirms. While he's not ready to reveal the concept (our tipster said meat-and-cheese place, though Somers says that's not quite right), he did give the address: 409 Lincoln Place, just around the corner from Corvo's Washington Avenue digs. Expect an early fall opening on this one.

    w00t. This is awesome, but I'm still waiting for the thread to be moved to the correct Crown Heights forum :)

    The New York Times (See here) and Eastbloc agree ... Who are we to argue?

    Just on the other side of Love's Liquors.

    They might be able to literally connect the existing site and the new one, or at least share a common backyard.

    A game changer for Washington Ave.

    Update from sources deemed reliable: This place will sell stuff.

    Cheese.

    Fancy bread.

    Perhaps even produce.

    Olive oil.

    Sandwiches one would eat when one felt like being fancy.

    ....you get the idea.

    I am thinking we may get a version of Blue Apron, Brooklyn Larder or Union Market.

  • eastbloc

    I guarantee that we will spend money on cheese, bread, and olive oil.

  • whynot_31

    Please let it be like Brooklyn Larder, or Union Market.

    Interior Construction on the cheese, olive oil, bread, chocolate store has begun.

    Mrs Whynot can occasionally be seen circling the site, with the hopes of telling them she will buy quality chocolate should they stock same.

    This will be terrible, but I already find myself going to Union Market every time I go to Bagel Hole which is with fair regularity.

    As one looks in, there is a commercial kitchen along the back wall, a table running down the center, and an area for refrigerator cases of cheese along the right side.

    This looks very much like it could be a version of Brooklyn Larder, located nearby on Flatbush: http://www.bklynlarder.com/

    P.S. That is me in the reflection :)

    Like Corvo's new awning(s)

  • whynot_31

    Yes, the new awning and the neon is a nice touch.

    For a while there, I thought they were going for the "only in the know crowd".

    Name of the new venue: Lincoln Station

    Lincoln Station is Good ....though "Strand Provisions" or something similar would have been cool

    Original review (11/4/1914) here (right side near bottom)

    "The Strand Theater, Brooklyn, located at

    Lincoln Place and Washington Avenue, reports business as excellent. The theater,

    which is owned by the Herbert Amusement

    Company, opened a short time ago. It is

    under the management of II. S. Fagin and

    uses Licensed pictures.

    The details are in:

    Anna Klinger, Emiliano Coppa and Jacob Somers—the team behind mobbed Brooklyn destinations Bar Corvo and al di là—put Park Slope and Crown Heights on New York's culinary map with their brand of flawless Italian home cooking and laid-back digs.

    At this neighborhood delicatessen (opening December 20th) chef Klinger brings her European chops to bear on soulful American fare: breakfast egg sandwiches, hamburgers, meatballs and rotisserie chicken. There's no waitstaff, so snag a table in the rustic 30-seat space decked out with exposed roof rafters, custom floral wallpaper and reclaimed bowling-alley wood. If you're grabbing food to go, be sure to fill a growler with one of the local brews on tap. 409 Lincoln Pl at Washington Ave, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (no phone yet)

    Summary: It doesn't look like there will be olive oil or chocolate. It does look like there will be sandwiches, but they don't sound especially fancy. There will be beer. Opens Dec 20th

    bump

  • whynot_31
    whynot_31

    Despite what they optimistically told Timeout, they didn't manage to open on Dec 20th.

    ...maybe they will open after Christmas?

    ,,,New Years?

    Very soon.

    I expect it will be a success, but I still wish someone would open a cheese store.

  • whynot_31
    whynot_31

    Mrs Whynot was able to to talk with one of the owners.

    It seems the opening is being delayed while they wait for city permits for things like the gas and electrical work that was completed.

    Also, they need to get the certificate that states their kitchen meets DOH codes. ....Perhaps it will open in mid January.

    BTW, the owner confirmed that they will have fancy, stinky cheese for sale.
