Mixed bean soup isn't bad, but the dried beans could have used more soaking. The Crocus occupies the former Syrena's, also a Polish restaurant. Red paper placemats on white linen tablecloths add the national colors of Poland. Meals begin with a basket of rye bread with plastic-wrapped crackers. All dinners include a special soup and salad.
Pork dominates the entrees in the form of chops, tenderloin, cutlets, sausage and rouladen.
Crocus serves three types. Side dishes really make the meal. Kluski are tiny dumplings fried in butter. Mashed potatoes are homemade with just enough butter that they need no other seasoning. While dinners are reasonably priced, lunches are downright cheap.
