Both share the same kitchen. The shrimp boil and escargot are good, but the real attraction is the wood-smoked meats served in sandwiches. It was closed for the few years, but the Crocus has returned and its Polish dishes never tasted better. Pierogies, fried in butter, are small and delicate. Beef roll-ups are very pleasing but don't miss the red cabbage.
Thai items are very good, spiced with many different types of curry.
The food has seen better days, but it's still acceptable. The draw is the Old World atmosphere and a decent beer list. Save money and visit at lunch, not dinner. The atmosphere is cellar-like but cozy. A noteworthy new item is wild mushroom rissoto, which fits well in the basically Italian menu.
