    The food and service were excellent. We sat on the patio and it was pretty noisy but tolerable for sure. Excellent Prime Rib and Baked Onion soup. Highly recommend

    First, our server (Jamie) was very good and attentive. He seemed nervous…perhaps he was new? But he communicated well (such as with the bar being backed up) and checked in with us regularly. The food was average at best, except for the Escargot appetizer, which was very good, and the clam chowder, which was thick and hearty. The fish (I had grilled snapper…though I had actually ordered it blackened…and my wife had blackened grouper) was just OK, but nothing more than I have made at home. Sweet pea risotto was bland and more thick than creamy. Our guests had a filet and the stuffed chicken. I think the latter was OK, but the filet was literally only a half inch thick. Never seen one that thin, even a 6 ouncer. And even with that slim cut, it was more medium (reddish) than the ordered medium well. Disappointing for the price point, but again, our server held things together well, so Kudos to him.

    limited holiday menu... problem with one order but they eventually corrected it... probably should have done something to compensate us for the wait and inconvenience... other dishes were very good, especially the wasabi crusted tuna

    I sat at the bar and had great service from Vegas who made a great drink- met some good people sitting next to me. Very lively crowd around the bar.I ordered the NY Strip and it was overcooked, very average tasting, mashed potatoes tasted good but were not fresh and kinda cold. I don’t think I’d go back for the food but would go back for a drink and conversation.

    Michelle, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the lively atmosphere, great service from Vegas, and your time at the bar. We appreciate your input and hope to improve your experience in the future.

    Overall good but not as expected. I asked for a steak knife 3 times and ended up eating my steak with a butter knife. Salads were served with the meal. Had to ask for bread which came after the meal was served.

    While we were so happy to have the Grove open on Christmas Day, they seem to be having major issues in the kitchen. Salads arrived after dinner along with the rolls. They did apologized, provided a free dessert and wrote off the salads. Perhaps a more organized plan for the holidays. However, we were glad to have a place to eat dinner so we were patient and thankful for the staff who worked on Christmas Day!

    Sherry, thank you for your understanding and patience. We’re glad you chose to spend Christmas Day with us and appreciate your kind words about our staff. Your feedback will be shared with our team and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience!

    First thing, we were very pleased that the hostess was able to quickly seat us in a booth. My wife has mobility issues, and it was of prime importance that we got a booth. Our server, Clark, was professional and friendly. Our meals, Prime Rib, Pistachio Snapper, and Salmon were all delicious. Sound level, for Christmas, was vibrant but not too loud at all. Overall, a pretty good experience.
    GROVEResponded 3 days ago
    William, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the hostess was able to accommodate your seating needs and that Clark provided great service. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed your meals and the vibrant atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
