Always a great patio option to have in mind for quick local lunch or dinner get together or to extend a day or evening downtown for a small bite on a shaded patio. Nice staff. Efficient operations. Creative menu.

I've enjoyed The Grove since its inception. The owners used to have an Italian concept called Mezza Luna. Sadly, it was destroyed in a fire. Instead of recreating that concept, they created The Grove. In the early years, you could see many of the recipes that were carried over. But keep in mind in no way is The Grove an Italian restaurant. Rather, I would define it as Americana.Today's dish was Ginger Noodle. Clearly, it's not an Italian dish, lol. Quite good, a bit spicy, but a pleasant change from what I normally get, which is the Bolognese, also excellent.

We had a 12-year old with us on our trip to The Grove after being turned away at a few different places. It was early in the evening (8:00 pm), but NO bars with food will except you just for food. OMGOAT the bartender (also our server) was just amazing at The Grove. They were also the one making our drinks, and later informed us they designed the menu.Kid-friendliness: If you are looking for a place and you have your kiddos in-tow, this is the place!

Great restaurant! We sat outside and it was very nice. The charcuterie board is a must. It can feed up to 6 ppl. I got the creole pasta and it was very good. My daughter got the salmon on risotto, but really didn’t like it because the risotto was black instead of white we didn’t ask how they made it, but she really didn’t like that but the salmon on it was very good. Loved the wine flights!! we tried the crème brûlée, and it was very good. Service was good. Restaurant was pretty clean. Parking is bad.
We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner in Feb 2024 at The Grove and it was fabulous in every respect! Hats off to Aimee and the entire staff! The entire process was great; the food and service was splendid. Our special needs were accommodated smoothly. I'll close by highly recommending that you consider them for your group event of up to 60 people!
This place is tremendously consistent with food and service, which is why it's a favorite of ours. Good italian fare. Great wine list. Wonderful outside deck.

Family dinner for five. Great, varied menu. We had the charcuterie/cheese plate, with fig jam, apples, grapes, brie, manchego, ground mustard, meats, marcona almonds. It was great, with something for everyone. Other items ordered: white wine flight, merlot, creole fettucine, an outstanding mushroom soup with coconut milk (I haven't had mushroom soup in year, this one has potatoes, carrots, wild rice, herbs), a pizza with ricotta, lemon, basil, and a large Italian sandwich. Our server was wonderful, and the atmosphere was very nice. Would definitely return. They have lots of options for every dietary restriction and over 150 wines.Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp going from sidewalk to entrance. Also, they seated us very close to the entrance, which was very helpful for us.
Brought soup and salad out at same time as main course. Server was good when he was present. I can understand the timing mistake in a busy environment but not he case. Have to do better than that for the prices charged.

The Grove menu seems best suited for lunch or a casual dinner. However, the wine flights are an exception. You wouldn't expect such variety and depth from such an otherwise casual experience. Being able to sample so many wine varietals was a real treat. We chose the French red flight and the Italian red flight and enjoyed comparing the reds within and between the countries.

Food was average and not the warmest when it came out. Service was average, and for a reservation it still took 20 mins to put a table together.

It is hard to believe the place has such good re views.Every item we ordered was messed up. Cosmo was very sour, pizza was cold and tasteless, with almost no cheese on it and chocolate cake dessert was dry and came with whipped cream instead of ice cream. When we inquired about the reason for substitution, the waitress said there was a problem with the fridge and brought us melted ice cream as a side to the dessert. Maybe chef had a bad day too, but we won't be backVegetarian options: A couple of pizzas are meatless, and there is a selection of salads
