NEW YORK DELI & DINER 770 Long Hill Road, Groton, CT 06340

"First time customer, came in for lunch during a regular visit to the area from Florida. What a nice surprise it was! Don’t let the small storefront fool you, this space is DEEP. Booth and table seating available as well as a large bar on one side and comfortable lounge section towards the back. Really enjoyed the aesthetic and atmosphere. Katerina, the owner, was particularly gracious acting as my server. Offered nice conversation and knew when to give me space when it was time to eat. There’s something for everyone on the menu and recommendations are readily offered upon request. My simple dish of a chicken salad wrap and sweet potato fries was delicious and came in under $20. Service was timely. My impression was it’s not an in-and-out in 30 minutes kind of place but if you’re not in a big rush and open to enjoying the relaxed atmosphere you can’t go wrong here. Katerina takes great pride in her business - I look forward to my next visit!"

"Super cool atmosphere! Food was good and presented nicely. Clean and inviting."

"There were two tables taken when we arrived. No one arrived before we left. It took 10 minutes for a menu. It has a lot of choices including breakfast all day. After ordering it took 20 minutes for our appetizer which was the usual frozen butterflied shrimp. Next our grilled Ruben’s arrived with fake onion rings ($2 extra). You are not going to find anything that resembles an onion in them. The sandwiches were part pastrami (super market style) and part corned beef. It looked like ham (square pieces of meat) to me and I was told that it was their corned beef. It had a slice of cheese that was not fully melted. For a Deli we expected corned beef cooked on premise and nice pastrami. Neither of these were included in our Rubens. All the food was served hot. Service was unbelievably slow since there was only one waitress when we arrived at noon. But I will say there were only 3 tables in a two hour period. Our bill for 2 people was $51 with only water to drink. We won’t be back again."

"This is a seriously great new place to eat. The menu is packed with really awesome choices and the food is really good. The atmosphere is wonderful they have a bar and seating places that aren't traditional. To set up on the inside is beautiful with hanging lights. I was surprised at the quality in this place."

"Hip decor, clean, and the food is quite good. Menu is extensive. Had a lox and onion omelette. Fresh and tasty although the portions could have been a little bigger. The hostess is a very nice lady and attentive. Working on getting a liquor license. Once that happens it'll be a worthwhile night spot and good place to watch sports. Eclectic seating options including at least one couch. Very inviting space that's run with enthusiasm and smarts and the food measures up."
