I have always loved this place in general the one downtown and always wanted to come to this one for the views. We arrived in the host is a super nice and God is seated outside and accommodate us to the table that we wanted with a good view. Our waitress was very attentive and knew what to recommend. We started off with the bruschetta and it was really nice. Nothing amazingly special but just nice. I was craving a good chop salad and I know that they make a really good one and of course it did not disappoint. I also tried their tomato shrimp bisque soup, which was delicious. We also got the Cuban Panini sandwich, which was delicious. The kettle chips were whatever I would've preferred french fries lol. I also got a glass of rosé which they have a great wine selection there. And he got some pink drink. I can't remember what it was called, but it was really nice. Overall, this is a stable to come visit you and relax and enjoy the views. read more

Great food! Great view and wonderful staff! Went around 5 on a Sunday and it was the perfect time. The salmon was amazing.

What a nice, upscale place! I wouldn't recommend going in your old jeans or faded t-shirt. My Texas Redfish Plate ($32) was every bit as tasty as it looks. My family were similarly pleased with their meals. read more

Just recently went in for a few drinks. They charged $4 more dollars to shake the martini. Have you ever heard of an up charge like this?

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Hannah our server did an awesome job serving us on the heated patio. She gave good advice on the menu and offered suggestions on wines to our group. Only in town for a couple days and we will probably be back tonight to try something else off the expansive menu. It was a clear cool Night and the lights of the city below made for an awesome view. My spicy ginger noodles were flavorful, light but filling with lots of veggies. Others enjoyed the redfish, bolognese and linguini bianco with shrimp. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Decided to go there for Easter Brunch today on Sunday 4/5/2026! Was disgusted with the food. Ordered Eggs Benedict, Migas and Crab Cake Benedict. The latte was not a Latte, and there was no flavor with any of the food. Absolutely, the worst experience. We were sat outside with cold weather and waiter seemed to not care one bit about our experience. I give it one star and will not come back again! read more

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! read more

Food, service, and views are always excellent! Highly recommend the bruschetta - they're all good!

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. read more

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! read more

We have eaten many times at The Grove in Lakeway. Always good, but today it was not only bad, it needed to be reported. My husband had the enchilada plate. There was an object in the enchilada that could not be identified. It was white, plastic like and forked in shape. He pulled it out of the center of the enchilada, along with chicken skin and tiny bones. We told the manager and she did not charge him for the meal, but this was dangerous if he had swallowed the object within the chicken enchilada. read more

Update 02-11-2024 Our last stop at The Grove - Lakeway was not very pleasant. We were in Lakeway again this week, and decided to give them another shot... A marked improvement from our last visit. Elliott waited on us at the bar and did a fantastic job. Thank you, sir! The drinks were very good, Bombay martini ... made just right. On the food side of things, we started with a new menu item: Tempura Japanese Eggplant. Very tasty, very good, delivered piping hot! The batter on the eggplant was thin and crispy, the eggplant itself delicious. Served on a bed of miso vinegarette and sweet chili Thai sauce, garnished with a little green onion and togarashi spice. Our only issue with the dish is that the fried eggplant was placed on top of the two sauces. So, for the first two or three pieces of eggplant, you cannot reach the sauces. And, by the time we got to the bottom of the plate, the pieces of eggplant were soggy on the bottom. Suggestion: Put the sauces in a small dish on the side for dipping. That would work wonderfully! Next up... the beet salad. We have had that before, and its simply a delicious salad. Red, gold and candy-stripe beets, mixed greens, green apple, mandarin orange slices, spiced candied pecans, goat cheese with a citrus vinegarette balsamic dressing. Super fresh ingredients, served in an ice-cold plate ... fun to eat too, as you "unpack" the salad as you eat. Very good! We went in a totally different direction for us on the next dish... oven roasted meat balls. The meatballs were full of flavor, well cooked. The san marzano marinara had a little heat in it, with a generous bit of parmesan cheese sprinkled across the top... toasted focaccia present to soak up the sauce was a great touch. Much better visit this time, reflected in the higher star rating. Recommend The Grove - Lakeway when you are in the area. read more

From the moment we arrived, we were wowed !!.. not only by the stunning view, but also by the warm, genuine welcome from Amber. She is beautiful inside and out, with a gift that made us feel instantly at home. Her service was flawless -- attentive without being overbearing, anticipating our needs, and recommending dishes that were spot-on!! The food was just as impressive. Everything we tried was excellent, especially the bruschetta -- the best I've had, even compared to the one we enjoyed at The Lakes with Dan yesterday. And The bolognese was AMAZING !! Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Between the breathtaking view, the outstanding food, and Amber's exceptional service, this location is truly special. Amber has the kind of natural leadership that could elevate an entire team -- she should be training and managing others because she truly gets it. We'll be back again and again! read more

My husband and I have come here a couple of times now, we live in the area. The food is good and quite flavorful.

Arrived on a Sunday for our anniversary. Requested a beatiful table with a view early ( a week out ) for a 6;30 dinner celebration. We arrived early, and table was not ready. Understood. However the manager Mike went out of his way to get us a table and buy us a round of drinks and and nice bottle of bubbly. The food was amazing, service great, but the out of his way attentive support gets the stars ! read more

The grove is a great place for the halibut and the braised beef rib. The calamari is tasty as well!

The wine and view were great! The staff was sweet and took great care of us. In terms of the food, I think we got some okay things but I feel like it would have been better if we tried something else. The board and crab cake were okay and if you just want small bits it was a good first time try. Going back though in terms of food I'd probably try something else.

The view for a party of two is beautiful. There are two tables with this undisrupted hill country view. My partner and I got a Sunday sitter and wanted to have a boozy brunch date and somehow this is where we ended up. We were greeted with a smile. Staff here are friendly! But can be slow to come back to check on you, we ordered some cocktails and a ceviche. The tajin tortilla chips are great and really enhance the ceviche. My partner wanted bacon instead of chicken with his French toast and that was very possible. Steak salad was fine. Nothing to write home about but No Complaints.

Adan was the best server ever. Excellent food and fantastic view on the patio. The food almost matched the service. Adan was very helpful in navigating the menu and seemed to really love his job! He knew the history of the place, and all his recommendations were spot on. Three types of bruschetta for an appetizer was genius. The halibut was cooked to perfection in a flavorful curry. The chicken parmesan special should be added to the menu permanently. The upside pineapple cake was a surprising delight. Highly recommend this place! read more

We dined here after an appointment across the street. The reviews were high so I was excited to check out the place. The view is amazing!! That was the highlight. The Cuban press was lacking flavor. There seemed to be a lot of things going on in the sandwich but nothing was good about it. The homemade chips were also bland, nothing to rave about. A little salt might help. We split the dishes and I appreciated the kitchen dividing everything in half for us. The Vodka sauce in the pasta had no seasoning but the salty Blackened Chicken made the dish. The focaccia bread was dry. The waiter was great. He gave us a lot of suggestions and was patient. Overall, I was disappointed in the food, expecting a 4.3 star experience. The ambiance and view were 4.5 stars easily. read more

The views were really nice from this restaurant which is why we chose this location over the westlake location. We were gifted a gift card for this restaurant so we were up to give it a try. The prices here are really expensive IMO for the quality of the food. Food: The appetizers were amazing! We did the bruschetta with the fig, the option with the pistachio, and the mushroom one. These were absolutely delicious! We also ordered the tuna appetizer which was amazing. I recommend you stick to the appetizers. We ordered the only vegetarian pasta that was there and it was not good. All we tasted was lemon and it was nothing great. I added a bunch of Parmesan to reduce the lemon flavor so I could eat it because I was hungry. My hubby ate it with an expression on his face that looked like a toddler being forced to eat his veggies lol I don't see myself visiting this location again. read more

How have I not written a review about The Grove!? I guess I've been too busy in the moment enjoying my meal and company to remember. I've been to The Grove in Lakeway several times since moving to the area less than a year ago. They have such an extensive menu, which can sometimes mean they aren't great at anything, but I can tell you that is not the case here! It's got something for any dietary need. Every single item we have ordered has been a hit. My friend said that the chicken tortilla soup was the best he'd ever had. All of the varieties of bruschetta are awesome. The cocktails are delish. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with any of your choices at The Grove Lakeway. I almost forgot to mention the VIEW! You get an incredible view of the valley from any seat in the house. read more

Spicy Pasta, No Server, and Zero Accountability We ate at The Grove tonight, and while we want to love this place (because it's one of the only non-Mexican options nearby), we walked away frustrated -- again. My 71-year-old dad ordered the seafood pasta, expecting a nice Italian comfort dish. What he got was something aggressively spicy -- like nose-running, mouth-burning spicy. No heads-up from the server, and nothing in the name of the dish that would've made that obvious. Maybe it's in the fine print, but between the low lighting and the small font, that doesn't cut it. If you're going to sneak that much heat into a dish, say so -- or better yet, mark it with chili icons like any decent Chinese or Thai menu. Worse, as soon as our server (Adon) dropped the plates, he vanished. Completely gone for over 30 minutes. No check-in. No chance to fix the issue. My dad didn't eat most of his food, and my mom and I just tried to salvage it. When the server finally came back, I politely brought it up, HOPING he'd maybe try to smooth things over -- not even asking for anything free, just acknowledgment. But instead, he was pretty defensive, which would have been okay- then he asked if we wanted dessert (not on the house), took forever bringing the check, and didn't even seem particularly nice about it when he returned. Super annoying because i voiced all of this in good faith so we could return and dust it under the rug, but had to leave and sit through a 15 min car ride about how my dad never wants to go back- and i don't blame him. This is the second time we've had this exact issue here -- last time it was the calamari. Also too spicy. Also no warning. We live nearby and would love to keep coming here. But if you're going to serve spicy food disguised as Italian comfort dishes -- in a community where a lot of diners aren't chasing heat -- make it clear. And when a mistake happens, make it right. This felt like no one cared either way, and that sucks. read more

Had fish tacos, Brussel sprouts and the bruschetta all were delicious! The view was incredible!

I went there a few weeks ago and found it outstanding. The wine tasting selections I. The Chardonnay category were excellent, and one was truly stunning. Service was very prompt and polite, though the waiter may not have known his wines like he should have. I chose the crispy skin salmon, which was very good, but not exactly crispy skinned. I liked it enough that I'll be going back in an hour or so. I'll post a second take. Cheers! read more

The Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen - 30 books for 35 minutes and soggy. Not even the menu description! - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really hate to write this, but my experience at The Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen in Lakeway was extremely disappointing and concerning. My friend and I both ordered the redfish tacos, and almost immediately after eating them we started feeling very sick. My friend became nauseous to the point of vomiting and even had a visible reaction around her mouth. When we informed our server about what was happening, the situation was handled poorly. Our concerns were dismissed, and no one took the physical reaction seriously, which made the experience even worse. While I can't say exactly what caused our reaction, something was definitely off with the food we were served. The vegetables tasted strange and did not seem properly prepared, and the overall dish did not seem fresh or safe to eat. Based on this experience, we will not be returning. I hope the restaurant takes food safety and customer concerns more seriously in the future, but for now, I cannot recommend dining here. read more

We dined on the patio-- it was hot but they had the fans blasting. It was dark outside so we couldn't see much of the view but what I saw was the golfing putt putt greens and some building but nothing lovely at all. The staff was friendly and nice. They let us stay late to enjoy ourselves bc we came late at 9pm (kitchen and bar last call is 9:45pm). Food was really good. I had the curry halibut and shared the ceviche (big slices instead of chunks) and the brussel sprouts. You must get the sprouts! The wine was ok. We enjoyed our evening there. read more
