Great atmosphere, great food, and amazing service by Amiya! We had prime rib and elk, both were amazing. Thx! read more

Great place for lunch or dinner. I've never had a bad meal here or problem getting a table. Our most recent experience was the dueling pianos event in the ballroom. The food was decent. The atmosphere felt like a wedding though. My husband and I were super disappointed. We love dueling pianos too. We typically go to lounge style. This was not that. As I said, I felt like it was a wedding with typical wedding songs. People dancing in the middle of the room. My suggestion would to place the pianos in the middle of the room. Add cocktail tables around them. Maybe not a dinner experience. lol. Completely different from what was put on... though I may be wrong. The event was sold out twice. If this is what the area wants, I do not. read more

Arrived on a Sunday morning with my family for brunch. Large restaurant with modern decor. Inside, and outside covered seating. Large menu and a full bar. Food and service were very good. We started with beignets. These were excellent and were as good ad those served in New Orleans. I had the breakfast burrito, which was filled to the max and very tasty. Some other entrees my family ordered were chicken & waffles, eggs Benedict, New England clam chowder, and french toast. Some cocktails we had were red sangria, and mimosas. The servers were very attentive. The restaurant was less than half full. , read more

We were seated quickly. Our server was friendly. The cocktails are good. The bison ribeye was very tender. The sauce on it was good, but the steak did not need to be smothered in the sauce. They should offer to have it on the side. The twice baked potato was underwhelming. It did not have enough toppings. They had only two asparagus on the plate. It's perplexing that they would skimp on vegetables. The ribs were good. read more

So I absolutely love the grove for brunch. Emma is the best server in the world. Not only was the food exceptional the service was even better. I recommend this place 1000%. The restaurant is big and clean and posh. Love it! read more

Chole was an excellent server! we had a great evening with great food and drinks at the Grove.

Great place for dinner or happy hour. Great food. Great service. Great vibe. We rent a room for a celebration of life and it wasn't that expensive. read more

Quite honestly, I don't have much to say. I was not overly impressed, but nothing crazy happened that I'd give lower than 3 stars. We?went with a large group and the servers were great, but nothing special to write home about. The food was good, again was not overly impressed, especially with the higher prices. One of our party members' steak was cooked wrong, mentioned it to the server and they immediately brought it back to fix but took the entire plate so he was left with nothing while everyone else was eating their meals. Typically in a nicer place you would expect the waiter to leave the dish so they can enjoy their sides while the meat is recooked. It is nice, however, that they cut their own meats and bake their own bread - you rarely see that anymore in a restaurant. TLDR - not great, not bad. Will we return? Likely not read more

Chloe was our waitress and she was awesome! It was a warm night but had fans everywhere Outside on the patio. Great atmosphere.

This place is enormous & I love the very large bar. We've eaten here for their famous happy hour & also came in on Thanksgiving for drinks & dessert. Their other restaurant - Pier 22 has fabulous desserts. We enjoyed ourselves both times at the Grove & are signed up for their loyalty club. I will say though that I was very disappointed with the price of Buffalo Trace over a large ice cube - $22! When I inquired about the high price as I perused my bill, they checked the computer & noted that other bourbons that are higher end like Angel's Envy was $14 which is much more reasonable. If you get Buffalo Trace without the large rock - it's $20 which is still too high for a 2 oz pour! read more

Jason was an amazing server, extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the food and beverages. Just an all-around hell of a guy.

Chris was an awesome server, he explained everything and food came out on time. He was extremely friendly and helpful

What's not great about our brunch experience! From our amazing server Donna, to the food, drinks and atmosphere. We were delighted...

Our server Jason was excellent!! Very attentive to our table and had good suggestions for food options!!!

Chloe was such a wonderful server. She helped make a much needed night out perfect! She was attentive, kind and very helpful.

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. read more

Chris was an amazing waiter!! He gave great suggestions and was a joy. The food was amazing.

Amazing venue! Great food and drink! Fabulous bar layout! Great staff! Found Patrick to be very friendly helpful and a generally great all round bartender! Very efficient! read more

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. read more

We had a wonderful dining experience at Grove, and Jason made it even more memorable. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly from the moment we were seated. He checked on us at just the right times, made excellent recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Outstanding service like Jason's truly makes a difference. Thank you for your professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. We look forward to coming back and hope to be served by you again! read more

Donna, our server was very good! I liked her enthusiasm the items she recommended! (However I'd skip the crab soufflé next time as we couldn't find any crab in it!) read more

Dayna is the absolute BEST bartender at the Grove. She went above and beyond to take care of her guests. She was very attentive and a great conversationalist. After a long, hard day at work it was a pleasure to have her attend to me. Would definitely go back just to have her serve me. There drinks and food was not bad either read more

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 read more

My husband and I ate here recently with a big group of friends. We once again got ribs (this time it was just a half rack, I'm not even sure if a full rack was available like it was the last time we were here). Knowing that we didn't like the coleslaw that was to come on the side I asked if there was something we could substitute it with. I was told that I could pick out one of the sides and there would be no additional charge, unless it was the asparagus. I love asparagus, but I chose the roasted potatoes and was assured that there would be no additional cost. You can imagine my surprise when we were brought the bill and I WAS charged for the potatoes, two bucks. I reminded her that I was told that there would be no charge and she told me that she was told in the kitchen that she had to charge me. That's when she should have stepped up and told the kitchen that she had told me that there would be no charge, and then not charge me. You don't tell someone that there will be no charge and then charge them. You can let the customer know that there would be a charge in the future, but you don't charge when you said that you wouldn't. When we weren't brought a basket of rolls like we have received in the past I asked about it. I was told that they had recently decided to not serve rolls unless the customer asked for them. I feel that if they were trying to avoid waste by not bringing them out without being asked, they could at least offer them. My review of the food is as follows: my husband and I split the ribs. The two ribs that I had were perfect, sadly, his were not. He got the end that was burnt to a crisp and they were inedible. He did not tell me he had that problem, or I would have brought it to the attention of the waitress. The grouper artichoke gratin was just okay for me, but my husband seemed to enjoy it. The fries that came with the ribs were great, and the roasted potatoes that I had to pay $2 extra for were good. My husband says we won't be back...........I guess he really didn't care for the charcoal ribs. read more

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. read more

Excellent for Brunch! Went to this restaurant for the first time for Brunch. We've only been here once and it was for this brunch. There were 7 of us meeting here on this Sunday. We arrived with a reservation and were seated immediately at 11am. When we arrived the restaurant was empty! In the winter when the snowbirds arrive this will not be the case!! The restaurant is large, spacious and beautiful. They have tables and chairs, booths and large tables for big groups. They can accommodate all size parties from large to small. They also have private party rooms. There is a large bar and a wine cellar. We were seated at a large booth and our server Julia came to take drink orders. I ordered an espresso martini and it was yummy. We ordered Beignets for the table to start. They were served with fresh berry coulis for dipping. For my brunch I ordered Eggs Benedict. They were the most delicious Eggs Benedict I've had in a long time!! They were prepared perfectly!! They were served with breakfast potatoes. The service was impeccable. Our server was Julia and she was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meals and had a good time. This restaurant also has a decent sized covered patio. read more

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. read more
