A Grove Christmas tradition for us… always lovely food and service…

We were celebrating the marriage of our son and now daughter-in-law with a large group. Casey was our server/also manager who couldn't have been more attentive and gave us great service! The vegetable plates were winners including the delicata squash, brussel sprouts, mujadara and rainbow beets. My favorite dish was the scallops. The chicken sliders and shwarma (made vegan for the bride) were OK. The biggest disappointment was the sea bass which was a bit dry. However, it was overridden by the fabulous overall experience. At the end of our meal the server brought complimentary glasses of champagne for the six of us, and complimentary bread pudding and date cake which were both delicious! I highly recommend Bacari or a great time!

It may seem odd for a restaurant in a department store, but the food here is really good. The atmosphere on the patio overlooking the Grove is nice especially at holiday season. They make a great whiskey sour.

A Memorable Start to the Holiday Season at song toscano (the grove) It was nothing short of amazing! The food was exceptional, every bite bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The energy in the restaurant was vibrant and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for celebrating with loved ones. The waitstaff truly elevated the experience—they were attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt right at home. Sogno Toscano has set the bar high for holiday dining, and I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!
