We thought we would give it another try but nothing had changed. It takes awhile to get your drinks, too cold the a/c blows on your feet, there was 4 of us. The food was less than subpar the potatoes tasted like instant, you could hit your roll on the table it was so hard, no mustard for a burger that you got with 10 fries, lumpy rice and food is overall flavorless . Two of the parties didn't like their drinks. Definitely not worth the money.

Great food at reasonable price. Service very slow. Missing several entrees... Would return.

We always enjoy visiting The Grove at the Woodbound Inn. Whether you sit inside in the dining room, in the Pub, outside on the porch, or the deck, it is always a wonderful, pleasant, and fun time.

We've been eating at the Grove for several years now, and have seen it go through some changes. For a time, pre-covid, it was our go to for a nice Friday meal. Since then, there have been management and menu changes. The restaurant made it successfully through covid, however in the last couple of years both the service and food quality have been inconsistent. Our service last night was not particularly attentive (though we weren't ignored), and the meal wasn't particularly good (fairly bland). For a Friday evening, there weren't a lot of full tables, yet the air conditioning seemed to be set suitable for a meat locker. I imagine we'll end up going back, but it will be a while.

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.
