GROVE

Amazing food. All made from scratch from the dinner rolls to the deserts. Unique and delicious meals. Diverse and large selection. Staff very attentive and friendly. Very clean, comfortable seating and perfect lighting. Thank you Chef Greg!

We visited to celebrate my mother’s birthday, not realizing our reservation coincided with the Kentucky Derby event. Unfortunately, the crowd and noise significantly impacted the overall dining experience. While we understand the added pressure of a big event, it still left a lot to be desired. The place was extremely busy and quite loud, but to their credit, the kitchen managed to get our food out in a timely manner. The extensive drink menu was a plus, and the food was decent bar fare. The pepperoni pizza and blackened grouper sandwich were solid choices. Our server was clearly new and brought in to help with the large crowd. He was pleasant enough and got our orders correct, but lacked knowledge about the menu—even basic things like the soup of the day—and made no effort to find out. Service was minimal and he did his job but lacks enthusiasm. We tried a variety of dishes. The mussels were disappointing, with the wine overpowering any other flavors. The seafood Cobb salad was a pleasant surprise—fresh, generously portioned, and easily enough for three people. Unfortunately, the blackened grouper entrée was bland and served with overcooked broccolini. The fish and chips also suffered from being overcooked. As for the Thai beef stir-fry special, it didn’t live up to its name and felt out of place on the menu—something we wouldn’t recommend ordering at a bar-level restaurant. In summary, while the kitchen’s speed and a few decent menu items were bright spots, the overwhelming atmosphere, inexperienced service, and inconsistent food quality made this a less-than-ideal spot for a special occasion. Perhaps on a regular night, the experience might be better.

Happy hour here is great! The basil smash is amazing and all the apps were great! Definitely will be back!

Thanksgiving Brunch Buffet. All of the food was prepared and cooked according to Chefs personal family receipts. Traditional Thanksgiving fair plus local seafood and prime rib. Justin, our waiter was fantastic in his attention and helpfulness. Other staff checked on our table and described the meal prep, helped with pictures. Etc. . Wonderful relaxed atmosphere. The price was commenceret with the food and service quality.

A few of our friend got together to spend Thanksgiving together and decided it would be easiest to eat out. We made reservations at the Grove and boy let me tell you it was an amazing dinner. Not only did they have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner but also their complete menu, which made some of our friend very happy. All meals are made from scratch. Our server KIKI did an amazing job keeping us all entertained and updated on our meals. As there was no room for the included desert KIKI just packed up our pumpkin pie in to-go boxes and we all left very full. Thanks to the Grove staff for making this Thanksgiving so special. Happiest of holidays.

Fabulous evening dining on the patio. Food was simply the best and there was an area concert to enjoy.

I reserved a table for 8 in early November for Thanksgiving Day. When we arrived, there was no record of my reservation. (Come to find out later that the Manager who took my reservation in early Nov. was no longer with them) The new manager apologized sincerely and had a table set up for us within 15 minutes. The service staff seemlessly accomodated this additional, unplanned table of 8, and the dinner was delicious! Some of us had the turkey dinner, others ordered off the menu-salmon, grouper & lamb. Despite the overly-busy holiday dinner and a truly packed house, The staff at The Grove went above and beyond! Thank you so much!!

Had a great experience! Chris was very attentive and made us feel welcome from the start. My kids really enjoyed the attention he gave them, he made the meal even more special. The food was excellent, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

The bar service I had tonight was amazing A charming young lady called Sohny was amazing. Remembered my name and drink after the first round. When I arrived she welcomed me and my party with an amazing smile and a joke !! Brilliant will definitely be back again soon for more bar drinks.

Attended a financial talk at The Grove, which included a free lunch. I had heard good things about their food, so I was looking forward to it but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations. Lunch was served after the talk, and before eating, I went to wash my hands. That's when I noticed the burgers sitting outside the door, waiting to be served. This was disappointing, as it didn't seem like they took great care in handling the food. The burgers were served medium but had clearly been sitting for a while. While they were still warm, they lacked flavor and didn't stand out. I understand that this may not be their specialty, but it would have been nice if they had put a bit more effort into serving fresh, well prepared food for the group. Overall, a letdown considering their reputation hopefully, their regular menu offers a better experience.

This place is always solid. Been here on different occasions ; brunch, dinner in the dining room , hang out at the bar , meet group of friends on the back patio. Tonight I hung with a group of friends in the back patio for drinks, apps and some dinner. They have a great happy hour menu that's hard to beat ( both in price and good quality) Tonight I had a meatball appetizer ($6) from the happy hour menu, a Tito's vodka mule ($9) and a prosciutto fig flat bread. Had a great time, service was good and the food was on point. The place always has a somewhat higher end professional atmosphere.

Atmosphere - Good. As you enter the restaurant there is a large bar that seats about 20 people. There is tons of seating inside and a fairly large patio dining area. Service - Disappointing. To say that our server was not attentive would be a huge understatement. The restaurant was not busy and yet our server could manage to check with us after our entries arrived nor even after we finished the meal. However, did he spend plenty of time hanging out with another table of patrons. Food - Very Good. My wife and I shared an order of the meatball appetizer, which was excellent. My entree was the Stuffed Chicken. The chicken was lightly breaded and pan fried perfectly. It was stuffed with the perfect amount of bacon, cream cheese and a poblano cream sauce. The mashed potatoes were a little dry, but I requested extra sauce which I added to the potatoes. I ordered the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cake was pretty good, but I have had much better. Overall Value - Very Good. The portion size was reasonable and the food tasted very good. In fact, had the service been better I would have considered giving the dining experience 5 stars

First time customer and I was amazed how large this restaurant is. There is inside and outside seating and a huge bar. The atmosphere is very modern and inviting. We had a drink at the bar before dinner and were there in time for happy hour. There is a huge drink menu at very reasonable prices. I ordered a Cosmopolitan and it was very good. We were a party of 4 and took an outside table to dine. There were only 3-4 other tables of diners so it was quiet enough that we could easily carry on a conversation. The menu is huge! There are probably 20 appetizers, lots of salads, and land and sea entrees. We started with a meatball appetizer, which was on the happy hour menu. 2 large meatballs with a great sauce and cheese. Definitely a 5. For my entree I chose the braised short ribs which were served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We didn't wait long at all for food and it came out piping hot. My meal was delicious. The short ribs were super tender and the sauce was tasty. I couldn't have asked for a better meal. Where they fell one star short was service. Although the restaurant was mostly empty, once our server took our order, we never saw him again. Someone from the kitchen brings the food to your table so we didn't see our server. He never came to see if we wanted more drinks, which we did, or to see if our orders were correct. We finally tracked him down to order dessert. He brought the desserts before taking away our dinner plates. I would definitely return and hope for a different server.

Located in the middle of a busy business park with other restaurants movie theater and bars. They have a pretty extensive menu and a very hip vibe with both inside and outside dining. Wait staff was pretty efficient and we did not have to wait for service. I ordered a braised short rib and there was a tuna nachos, seared sesame tuna and pork osso bucco all was prepared well and a very solid meal. Definitely a return visit in the future.

We only stopped at the Grove for drinks, but we'd love to go back and try the food! We had beer (can't mess that up lol) and espresso martinis. I prefer my espresso martini with baileys or kahlua and didn't think to ask for it made that way. It was good... but for me very strong espresso liquor flavor. Bartending staff was friendly. Atmosphere is great!

The interior of the restaurant is very nice. Our server was fabulous. Brought us water after being seated, share with us some specials and that happy hour was happening, which we appreciated. We ordered the 8oz prime rib dinner with twice baked potatoes and asparagus. The meat was prepared perfectly (medium-rare) and the sides were tasty. For the price not a bad meal at all. And did I mention our server waited for a fresh batch of rolls to come out of the oven to serve them to our table - perfect!

Fantastic first visit. I wondered if there was any way the food would look like the amazing online menu pictures but it did. Good portions, great flavors. Had the Bison sirloin rare and it was full of flavor and cut like butter. My wife had the grouper piccata , I had a taste and it was very good. Friends had the seafood Cobb salad and jambalaya. Apps great, calamari wasn't very chewy at all and the tuna nachos had nice thick cuts of tuna. Escargot was prepared properly and was a nice treat Highly recommended

We went to the Groove Saturday evening. It was a party of four. One of the best places to sit here is the bar for ambiance and decor, but it was full. We were seated outside, aside from being really hot the chairs were comfortable and ambience wasn't bad. Our waiter was a pleasant guy, but we waited for long periods of time to get drinks and food. I wasn't upset enough to never go back because I am very patient and we were just chilling and looking to just relax that evening anyway. The food was good, calamari was very tasty, French dip was decent and what one might expect for a French dip, the other person in my party said the fish and chips were fare, and the only criticism was the person that ordered the chicken referred to it as being small for an entree. Overall the food was decent and I would return for a meal in the future, but remember if it's a weekend keep in mind the wait times might be a little longer for your meals and drink. LiI'm patient enough and will return. Ps they make a good cocktail. Food 7.5 Ambiance 8.0 Service 7

Very large selection of items on the menu. Prices are a little high compared to other similar restaurants

Watch your wallet! Two days following dinner I was notified by my credit card company that my 20% tip was changed to 84% tip by the restaurant or server. This is credit card fraud, it's illegal and hoping will be prosecuted however beyond that this leaves such horrible distaste for this multi million dollar company. Thank You Capital One!

After eating here many times, I can't believe that I have not reviewed this spot. Great environment and love eating outside, great ambiance. Food has always been stellar. Stopped in for an anniversary meal. Crab rangoon was amazing, could make a meal out of that. Scallop benedict is always great! And they never skimp on the capers. Drinks were great and the atmosphere always entices. Great spot for a quiet dinner or a fun celebration.

Enjoyed the special prix fixed menu this week, we had the mini wedge salad, the duck and the lamb, twice baked potato, cheese cake and pistachio bar. 45$ each. Yummy service great as usual, Enjoyed the bar area.

OUTSTANDING! Hubby and I ate here for Christmas Eve and we thoroughly enjoyed everything! Service was amazing and the ambiance is gorgeous. We ordered herb Chicken w/ mashed potatoes and a Lobster tail w/ wasabi tuna and sticky rice. Absolutely phenomenal! To finish, we had the Key Lime meringue graham cracker crust pie. Left very happy and full.

Flat bread soggy, water with lemons long wait, Mussels asked if they were fresh or frozen. The waitress had no clue. Then the manager came over and had no clue either second time never again.

Not sure why so many folks like this ordinary restaurant. Just had a burger today, imagine the high level of sophistication!!! It was hard & cold. With cold fries (frozen??). How can one mess up a burger??

A variety of good food with a pleasant atmosphere. The bar area is very nice as well!

Derby Saturday was a nightmare! Had high hopes for the Grove. Not sure if it was new waitstaff or temps it was brutal. Server had zero knowledge of basic cocktails and the ingredients. Even the bar or restaurant manager came over, the 1st time he came in hot and heavy. Never argue with customers PERIOD!

Location, location, location. Very accessible for us. Food menu items vary for value, quantity and quality. (These are demanding times in the marketplace hereabouts highly saturated with many dining options.) Generally we use experienced servers for recommendations in making our choices. Service can also vary widely unfortunately among newer and experienced staff as well. Not the most engaging and customer oriented group. Ambience is great. Nice facility. Usually clean, though bathroom areas could use more frequent attention in cleaning for sure! We recommend for adult residents and adult visitors for casual comfortable lunch and dinner.

Sat at the bar for HH on 3/22. Amber provided great service and great cocktails. Her food recommendations were good. The braised short rib dnd the white trout catch of the day were very good. The bar is huge with low noise level, we loved it. We will be back.

The prices here are a bit more than what I am comfortable paying (I'm a bit of a cheap date), but my husband and I were able to split a full rack of ribs, and it was more than enough for the both of us. The ribs came with fries (lots of them) and cole slaw. The fries were very good and the cole slaw was just so-so. We like "creamy" slaw and this wasn't creamy. The ribs were perfect. We sat out on the patio as one of the gals in our party had her dog with her. It was pretty hot, but we really didn't have any other choice. The service was pretty slow, and our waitress kept apologizing that the food was taking so long, especially since they didn't appear to be very busy, but maybe there were lots of people inside. One of my friends got wings and she said they were very good. The other friend got some kind of tuna and she also said that her meal was good. When were seated we were mistakenly brought a basket of gluten free bread. I guess they usually bring rolls to the table, but we somehow got the gluten free? We were offered some of the rolls that they normally give you, but I LOVE gluten free so we told them that we were fine. I think I ate the entire basket myself! One other thing I want to mention is that one of my friends got a coke with Malibu Rum. She insists that it wasn't Malibu, and she would know. Malibu is ALL she drinks and that drink just wasn't right. I'm pretty sure she will be asking that her drink be made with a fresh bottle of Malibu the next time. There were some other things on their menu that I was interested in trying, so we'll likely be back.

My wife and I had two prior bad experiences with GROVE, but figured to give it one more try. Our server, Jason did not only give the best dining serserviwe've ever had, he walked us through our course selection including a vast knonwlevdge of wines available. He made me feel good about spending 32 dollars on a glass of wine. It's a good sign that this restaurant is finally putting top notch servers on the floor. The main reason we'll be back is to see how Jason is doing overall, and to impress our future guest we bring along, amd show them how service should be done. Good hire from management.

Very impressed with this restaurant! The food was delicious, nice atmosphere, and our waitress Kim was absolutely fantastic! Even though it was quite busy she was right on top of things and was a pleasure to chat with. Will definitely be returning another time.

Wonderful experience - our waitress was wonderful, food was excellent and loved the special touch of a free dessert to celebrate my mentor's birthday at the end of our meal. Highly recommended!

Tried this place for the first time for a quick brunch..... very cool spot with very friendly staff and a great environment. I got a quick sandwhich and it still was very tasty considering. I will definitely be back

Great food and amazing atmosphere and service ! Have been back serval times and always great

Had a great dinner here. The sushi was delicious! I recommend it. The seafood was fresh and prepared nicely. The espresso martini was delicious, as well as the crème brûlée - the star of the show. The grouper gratin appetizer was unique and tasty. The only disappointing item were the sliders, I don't recommend those but they have many other options! Our server Alex was super friendly and did great.

We again dined at The Grove and enjoyed our exceptional dinner special of roasted duck with blueberry sauce. Our server was Lydia ("Lidi"), who was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant!

5 star experience! We got there during happy hour on a Friday night and I really appreciated that you can experience the $6 bites + drinks at not only the bar, but the entire restaurant. We got a plethora of drinks, all very well made. The jerk wings were huge - great value! For my main I chose the Group Picata and it was fantastic! The menu is very large, big enough to continue to come here and try new things!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The happy hour is from 3-7 which is really good with lots of good choices. The entrees are fantastic and everything we ordered we thoroughly enjoyed. We sat outdoors under the covered patio and it was a perfect setting. We enjoyed seeing that it is a dog friendly place as well. The fish was fantastic!

We really want to like Grove, but they're not helping. This was our 3rd visit when a friend invited us. We ordered beverages, I had a beer. It came in about a 6 ounce glass. I do like my beer and I do like a pint glass, so I was WTH? I asked the waitress about a pint glass and my 2nd one arrived in a pint glass. Same price. ?? We ordered the calamari appetizer and it never did show up. Ooops, but no "sorry." Probably for the best, since the previous time we had the calamari appetizer and it was not good. The food was just OK. Our friend ordered a 2nd glass of wine when the entrees were delivered and it didn't show up until we were done and looking for the check. The bill came as a QR code with the option of paying on your phone. Cool! No. I pulled it up and there were all kinds of charges on there that were not ours. WTH! So Grove, I'm trying to like you, but c'mon help me out!

Food & Service. I think I'll pass on going back. The service needs more training and the food that I ordered I couldn't even eat. The Roast Beef had a grey color to the meat and tasted off. As a transplant recipient I have to be careful with the food that is served. So I will not be back. Thank you to the Manager who helped with the bill.

10/10 Our server Sarah and her assistant Carly made for an amazing brunch. I have never experienced bottomless mimosas where our server anticipated our needs and ensured we never had an empty glass. From the food to the attentive service, it was the best brunch we've had in a long time. Paola the manager was so sweet and you can tell why Sarah was able to give the service she does. Clearly the manager empowers their servers to do what's best for their guests. Best experience ever.

Food was excellent and our server was very attentive and pleasant. Only downside was that the carpet under the table had not vacuumed and we noticed food crumbs and a swizzle stick there.

This review could have, should have been much higher if it wasn't for poor and ineffective management. As our party spent well over an hour waiting for our checks ( it was a group of us and the server didn't separate from the beginning)--/and had to wait after she separated it for the manager because the server wanted us to still split the bill ourselves---never again to this location. Bananas foster French toast were delicious, although I was brought plain French toast at first and had to wait for them to me made. My husband had the Malted Belgian waffles with a ? Strawberry compote? Not sure why they served if, as not only was it unappetizing to look at, it didn't taste good, and fresh strawberries are in season and in abundance locally? Disappointing.

This restaurant was recommended to me so I brought a close friend of mine who is a celebrity chef (remains anonymous). First, as usual, I like to start off with the service. Fantastic service. They are very responsive and accommodating. NICE JOB Menu was nice Apps * Crab cake - very good * Balsamic chips - fresh fried chips with toppings. I didnt enjoy this. It's like an upscale Nacho * Baby Wedge - Wedge salads do not have PEAS ot cheddar cheese on them - very disappointed. Entrees were good. Prices were good We both thought the was good.

Visited GROVE Restaurant - Patio - Ballroom today for Thanksgiving. Everything was absolutely top notch. From the food to the service. It was a buffet and food was fresh and constantly being refreshed. I highly recommend it. We will be back to the restaurant for those amazing mussels. Just a couple of pictures.

Ambiance 5/5: cool place and lots of outdoor seating Food/Drinks 5/5 Service 10/5: Lisa the bartender was super funny, fun and helpful. Her energy and sense of humor were appreciated and I will happily return for a red sangria, some snacks and some great service Thank you

Stefon was amazing!! We are definitely coming back!! The food was great and atmosphere was great!!

I truly like The Grove. Thanksgiving in the main dining room (not the buffet) was a disappointment. They completely overbooked and there were people hanging everywhere. Our reservation was delayed for 30 minutes. The turkey dinner special was marginal at best. The turkey was cooked nicely as was the green beans, but quite honestly, the rest of the meal was like cafeteria food slammed on a plate. The pumpkin pie was so thin it was almost invisible. This the last holiday I will have a meal at this restaurant BUT I will continue to enjoy nice dining here on regular days. Those events have always been quite nice.

We had a nice lunch on their expansive patio. They serve lunch & dinner menus all day, with brunch on the weekends. A little Rose followed by a couple of flatbreads - The New Age for me (chicken, blue cheese, bacon, artichoke, fontina and sweet onion. Deelish! - the same without the blue cheese (a shame IMO) for my partner Service was good throughout. They run regular special wine events, and we'll be back!

Well doing a little looking around the area we stopped in here for an early dinner. What a beautiful restaurant with a full bar and wine cellar an extraordinary menu of food. We had the beef brisket poutine which was delicious. I had the homemade chicken salad kind of fruits and nuts on a croissant again very tasty. My son had a chicken speedy. Husband had the ahi tuna BLT delicious. Service was great. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Excellent lunch! Junior G took fantastic care of us and made our luncheon so enjoyable. He was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The crabcake, spring rolls, onion soup, Cuban sandwich and Grouper sandwich were all freshly prepared, served hot and beautifully presented. Everything was delicious and perfectly portioned. We cannot wait to return!

Dayna was great. She took such good care of us at the bar. Would definitely come back to see her. Happy holidays!!!

I like this restaurant, and the food is usually good. But, they must have been overwhelmed on Christmas day. I was so looking forward to a delicious holiday meal, but the food was mediocre at best, and it was served cold. Steak was good but potatoes and vegetables were inedible. Service was just so-so, but a 20% tip was added to the bill, which our waiter did not deserve. It was very disappointing!!

Ariel is the best bartended. Polite, efficient and what a great smile! Drinks were perfect , bar food was pretty good, flatbread was the best of our choices.

It was a beautiful day for brunch and we sat outdoors on the patio. Something is not right however, with this restaurant, the service is impossibly slow even when the restaurant is mostly empty. It shouldn't take 20 minutes to get drinks. Food should not arrive cold and most importantly, you should get what you ordered. I ordered a vegetable omelette with spinach, mushrooms, peppers, and feta cheese. I got a spinach and mushroom omelette and by the way they do not have toast, i don't know what they put sandwiches on because apparently they don't have bread that they can toast. I can't quite figure out what the problem is with this restaurant but I can only assume that it comes down to poor management.

I had 2 clients from out of town. We chose the patio for dinner. I'm going to be straight forward and say that the floors had bits and pieces of litter that should be attended to with any breeze and or clearing the tables. Our waitress was didn't come back to refill water or clear some of the plates or empty drinks from the bar. I was in the restaurant business and yes we all get busy but this particular time was manageable. Lastly I do feel that you have one young man who had blue hair with a color was to tame it down. I'm describing him so you know who I'm referring to. He was continuously walking by the young girls (servers) and touching them inappropriately on their behinds. Shirt was not tucked in and he was engaging with his behavior to some of the other guys. My meal was overcooked, replaced with undercooked food while everyone was done with their meal.. Of course things happen but I couldn't eat it, kept my mouth shut since I had clients and should not have been charged. It was an embarrassing experience and I have to say that I will not be back.
