The most charming experience in the area. The staff and management are top notch and the restaurant is run so efficiently, but with a home town feel - like you're family. The food is fresh and delicious, and plentiful. It is always a lovely experience dining here.

The food was all very good. The French Onion Soup was very hearty (and hot) and the Prime Rib with house sides was very flavorful. My wife had the Chicken Pot Pie and she liked it as well. We are much more understanding post-Covid to restaurant's staffing struggles and are guessing that was the reason for a slight lack of attentiveness and service. It wasn't enough to ruin the meal and we would highly recommend the Grove. The violinist was an unexpected and appreciated touch for the Valentine's Day dinner service.

We had a charming experience for Valentines Day, and feel grateful for all your careful attention to the details of excellence.

This place is a hidden gem it is gorgeous food was awesome chef and server were as accommodating as possible for one person in our party who eats a vegan diet. Only thing I will say is if there could be even just 2-3 vegan menu options that would be amazing. Or even if certain things on the menu were just specifically called out as vegan, like certain salad dressings for example, that would be helpful. Would definitely come back and would recommend.

My wife and I had an early dinner that was exceptional. All of the staff and especially our server, Alyson, were pleasant, helpful, efficient and accommodating. We decided to share the Bulgogi appetizer that did not disappoint. Our entrees, Tuscan Salmon and Crab stuffed shrimp were perfectly prepared and plated. The wine and hazelnut praline dessert were wonderful. Around 5PM a musician began playing his guitar and singing. This was our first time at the Grove and as you can tell we enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely return.

It’s something different every time we go here. We used to love it but then they changed their menu every week. The waiters are not nice anymore. I made a reservation online 2 days before for family coming out of town, they called me the day of to tell me they are canceling my reservation and they would send me a $50 gift card. I’ve called 4 times asking for a manager and I can never speak to one he’s either busy or not in. I’ve talked to some young girl on the phone and gave her my email 5 times for the gift card and never received anything. I’ve given this restaurant so many chances given it is one of the few in town, but this was the icing on the cake!

Party of 7 was served and everyone satisfied with their choice of entree. Food was delish, service was very good, very attentive to our needs. We were pleased with the meals, service and attention to our table.

The WBI Cosmo is SO GOOD. Also enjoyed the steak tips with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Wow! Excellent. 4 stars for food because fish tacos, while delish, didn’t have anywhere near enough fish in them. Dessert (chocolate bomb) was also superb. Great time and terrific service. Thanks!

Steak was phenomenal, perfectly cooked. Waitress was great! Only drawback was being charged for ice. Made it seem like restaurant was hurting. Bad vibe seeing that.
Great service and food! A hidden gem on Contookcook Lake in Rindge N.H.

Definitely make reservations. We went for an early dinner so we could enjoy some quiet before the dinner rush. The staff was kind. It seemed as though our waitress was spread thin going between the bar and dining area though as it took some time to get our check after we had finished and our table had already been cleared. Other than needing more staff to help the core staff this place is amazing. The food was on point I had a garden salad with a classic ranch along with the 8oz. Filet with mashed potatoes and the veggies of the day was asparagus. I also tried a specialty drink called the wood bound kiss. It was very tasty. I could have had another. My husband had the French onion soup and Bolognese. He stated how fresh the pasta was. The bread that was provided was amazing along with the seasoned butters along side. Herbs or cinnamon were the choices this evening.big tips to the bus boy as he was very attentive and on top of clearing the table. The environment was beautiful and rustic modern. They had seating for small and large groups and were handicap accessible. We will for sure be returning and hopefully bringing others with us to enjoy in the future.
Parking: Park right in front of the Inn check in.

The service and food was outstanding. I had sword fish which was cooked to profession. My husband had veal Marsala which he said was outstanding. I highly recommend Woodbound inn this was our first time and we didn't know what to expect but we were very pleased with our experience there.

Have been to The Grove many times over the years. Was, frankly, surprised at how few people were dining on a Friday night. They seem to have made some menu changes, which can be a good thing (and we did not explore those changes). The fare is more pub food than fine dining, and we both had the fish and chips. I found the fish to be oily and under-seasoned, and it was served on top of the chips, rendering them soggy. The cocktails were good, and the service was courteous and prompt.

I was there for a celebration of life gathering. Food was great had prime rib red bliss potatoes, stuffed chicken, broccoli and chicken noodle soup. Buffet. ( I asked for the soup recipe and they gave it to me.)
