    I won a gift card here and was spoiled by Michelle & our waitress Hannah who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed everything The Grove is known for. Michelle's wine suggestions paired perfectly with our food selections. Having an outdoor patio with a gorgeous view made for an excellent afternoon. Can't wait to come back!

    Hummus Sampler
    Pree R.

    A beautiful restaurant in Lakeway with gorgeous patio views and modern, fresh appetizer and entrée offerings! My bf and I came here on Saturday night for his birthday. We weren't super hungry, so we kept it simple by starting off with some apps: the crispy brussels sprouts and the hummus and whipped feta platter. I also got the Asian crunch salad and my bf got the tomato soup with shrimp. Out of everything, we thoroughly enjoyed the hummus and whipped feta platter which came with three dips, and crunchy veggies and pillow-y pita bread for dipping. The brussels sprouts were crispy on the outside, but not completely crispy, which caused them to somewhat miss the mark. The plate also had way too many walnuts to my liking, lol. I appreciated the fact I could add tofu to my salad (for an extra cost), but I decided not to because I wasn't extremely hungry. Without the tofu, the salad was fine, but to be frank, it's something that I could easily whip up at home thanks to salad packs offered at stores like HEB and Whole Foods. All-in-all, it was a great restaurant to have dinner at on a Saturday evening in Lakeway!

    We hosted a company event here for a group of about 15 people. I coordinated with the events manager ahead of time. Responses were a bit slow initially, but with a few follow-ups she was helpful and did a good job answering my questions and clarifying details. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it a great choice for a festive gathering. Our reservation was in the evening in mid-December, so we did not get to experience the outdoor views, which I imagine are beautiful. That said, the indoor dining experience was still very pleasant. Our waitress was wonderful. She was accommodating, communicative, and professional throughout the evening. The food was tasty and well presented, and overall the group seemed happy with their selections. I ordered the bolognese. It was not the best I have had, but it also did not feel like a standout dish on the menu. I would be open to trying other options next time. Overall, we had a positive experience and would return. We are looking forward to coming back.

    The worst dining experience in my whole entire life! Beware with their outdoor dining area!! They have this ceiling fans open that I don't know what's the reason behind opening it when the weather is so cold. And who puts string lights close to a ceiling fan??? It was a nightmare for me and my family members.. the ceiling fan and all the outdoor dining is a big safety concern! The ceiling fan got broken after it hit the string lights and one of the propellers broke and suddenly flew to my face, luckily I saw it and just turned around but still hit my neck to shoulder area. It was a huge, thick fan propeller and I don't think people will understand this if you didn't experience or saw it in person. Everybody was in shock and panicky because no one is turning off that ceiling fan even if it was still broken and hit ME on my neck! My family had to shout a few times just so everyone is aware to turn off the ceiling fan! Compensated all of our food but it will but our life will never be the same again.. the trauma you this restaurant caused us! And I think the staff wasn't really fully trained to execute an emergency because they don't even know what to do and at the end they just offered me free wine and the calling card of who ever we need to talk incase we have future claims with them. Other than that, one of the staff members were a little bit nosy and staring at us and giving us that annoying look! And that's unacceptable and inappropriate. To conclude this, someone needs to be liable.. definitely not coming back to any restaurants named after this company in future. Luckily, the food and server was good but still not a solution to a horrible accident that could have been prevented by the staff or maintenance. Safety of customers is the top priority but they have ZERO of that yesterday! Thank God for the EMT and for my family who took care of me.

    Very, very Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Rolando N.

    They have improved quite a bit since the last visit a few years back. The Stacked and Smashed burger was very good. Great sauce, and nice soft brioche bun with two slices of cheese. Grilled onions as well. Very satisfying and well balanced. Service was excellent.

    Local spot and new to the area. Met a friend for lunch and love the atmosphere. The food is good and service is attentive. Definitely coming back again for another meal.

    In all the years I have worked in Austin and passed by this building - I was not aware of this restaurant until a colleague recommended it today! We sat on the outside patio and enjoyed the absolutely stunning views! Despite being in the 90s it felt very pleasant on the deck. We shared the bruschetta appetizer which allows you to pick 3 combinations off their list of about 8, we chose mushroom which was my favorite, a Brie apple and a salmon and each was a perfect bite. Then we had the tuna poke bowl - it was delicious but more of a ceviche than a poke as the acid in the dish had pretty much cooked the tuna! It tasted fantastic however and was a nice light dish. Service was spotty however - our sever was initially on top of things but was a bit weird and a very close talked which was not comfortable! www had to wait an extortionate amount of turn to pay and had to flag down help several times in order to pay ! He never turned back up so another staff member finally took our payment so we could get going. That was unfortunate!

    The Grove on W. 6th St.
    Lainie H.

    So heartbroken to see The Grove on W. 6th St. close. This place has been a huge part of my life for the past 10 years -- birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, or just a glass of wine after a long day. The food, the atmosphere, the amazing staff -- it was always my happy place. It wasn't just a restaurant, it was where memories were made. Saying goodbye feels like losing a piece of home. Thank you to everyone who made it so special. You'll be deeply missed.

    All sauce

    Every time I come here I am totally disappointed with everything I order except pizza. I ordered ginger noodles this time and they came swimming in so much sauce it was like a soup of sauce.

    Nice inviting exterior with plenty of parking
    Chris L.

    My wife and I visit the Grove a couple times per month. Their food is always consistent and their service is always fantastic. We often bring friends and family who visit Austin to this specific location in Lakeway because of the great service consistent food and wonderful view. We appreciate how the Grove can accommodate gluten-free diets. They have many options that are gluten-free, including desserts. We often enjoy the flatbreads as an appetizer as well as the brussels sprouts. They have a nice wine flight menu and they provide descriptions of each wine when they serve the flight. We do wish they had a premium selection of wine flights such as reserve Cabernets from Napa as an option. Hopefully they will include some premium flight options soon. You can't go wrong with any of the food items at the Grove. They have one of the best smash burgers in Austin, and their salads and dinner items are delicious. Latley we've been sitting outside and our server has been incredible with taking care of us. The servers name is Ozan and he has waited on us about 3 times over the past month. He is super friendly and makes sure to take great care of us! The dining atmosphere in the main eating area is very nice with a great view backdrop looking over Lakeway. We really enjoy sitting outside overlooking the hilltop views. The Grove also has a very nice bar with a great wine selection and beer on tap. Highly recommend for consistent good food, nice wine selection, great service and great atmosphere!

    Spinach sauted with rib eye steak I recommend having steak separately
    Gina H.

    I had my friend and I sit at The Bar which you can order food as well so we had drinks and wine and decided to order the prime rib. The Prime rib was absolutely delicious it was very moist and succulent with incredible tasting seasonings that made the taste even more. As we sat the only problem we had was our waiter had gotten our order incorrectly and he had to keep bringing back to correct the mistakes he had made. The problem is that I didn't want the salted spinach with my prime rib on top and I made it clear that I want it the side salad as well. Also he was hard to find at times is the only complaint I really have at the Grove otherwise everything was pleasant and nice and jolly so I would recommend this location if you want good prime rib this is the place to go. Also if you go during the day the parking is much easier but if you come after 6:30 or 7 it is a very full parking so I suggest either come Early so that you'll be able to get a parking spot. The bar air was very much quiet and was pleasant and I recommend the bar area as well. Happy Yelp into everyone and I hope this review will help anyone who is reviewing this restaurant.

    Brussels Sprouts
    Justin S.

    My wife and I had a date night at The Grove in Lakeway. Beautiful restaurant, great views of the hills in the back of the restaurant. Service was outstanding tonight. Food and drinks came out quick. We ended up doing three appetizers and a pizza... Barbacoa nachos, Brussels sprouts, shrimp bisque and the meat lovers pizza. The Barbacoa nachos were very dissappointing. The flavor was super bland. They served 6 chips with the fixings on top. These can be improved upon a ton. Everything else was amazing! The Brussels sprouts alone were incredible! Great flavor, good amount served. Pizza was spot on. I'd get it again. My wife said the shrimp bisque was also very good. Overall, we had a great experience!

We arrived early, mainly to have a bite to eat before the tasting. Not a whole lot of food available, so we shared a couple of sandwiches. Not great, but it hit the spot. They need more food selections! The wine tasting event was first class all the way. A Winebow distributor presentation of wines from Tuscany. Very well presented, the wines presented were very good. The presenter offered extensive knowledge of the area and wineries included in the tasting. The Wine Cellar provided a nice space, somewhat small for the number in attendance. There was a cheese and charcuterie plate on each table. Really nice was the fact that the staff opened and poured the reds about one hour before the class started, giving the bold wines a change to open up a bit before the tasting started. All in all a wonderful evening. The wines presented were all very good. The Wine Cellar has a first-class wine list, comprising some of the "best of the best" from around the world... and at reasonable prices too!

It's family-owned, warm, and genuinely welcoming in a way that feels increasingly rare. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they care deeply about both the food and the people they're serving. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can taste the quality in every bite -- nothing feels rushed or phoned in. The portions are generous without being over the top, and everything we've tried has been full of authentic flavor and perfectly seasoned. It's the kind of meal where you're already planning what you'll order next time before you've even finished. And Gio? Truly outstanding. He strikes that perfect balance of attentive without hovering. He knows the menu inside and out, offers thoughtful recommendations, and makes you feel genuinely taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in what he does -- he's warm, personable, and elevates the entire experience. Service like that makes a difference, and Gio absolutely delivers. What really sets Farmand's apart is that combination of incredible food and heartfelt hospitality. Austin has no shortage of great restaurants, but Farmand's Kitchen stands out because it feels personal and intentional every single time. It's one of those places we recommend immediately when someone asks where they should eat -- and we'll absolutely keep coming back.

My friend had the scampi and that was better. That sourdough was awesome but it didn't need the butter spread.. because you could just sop up the scampi butter. I think over time this restaurant will do better.

Waitress said "next time we'll order it well done." She was trying to be funny but it came off as a little dismissive as she didn't look at the fish. The chicken strawberry salad was very good except for the chicken. I thought a restaurant like this would know that a salad with bright acids shouldn't be mixed with fatty, lumpy chunks of dark meat. Apparently they use a rotisserie chicken that's stripped by a machine - then they just grab a handful of whatever comes out and throw it on the salad. For the cooks it's easy to remember - if it's slathered in sauce use dark meat, otherwise use breast meat. Service was attentive and the outside patio was nice.
