Best Brunch Restaurants in Upper Marlboro

We were seated and two of us had the sun shining in our faces, would have thought that the staff would notice and pull down the blinds, but it wasn't until I asked before that was done. My friend asked for beer and there was no beer available, also his wife wanted a particular wine and though we had the impression that the wine was available, it wasn't. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, then we decided to order the meal at the same time; I never to do that but everyone else wanted to and they soon found out why. One person received her drink, and it took a long time for the remainder of us to receive our drinks; had to actually ask for our drinks and appetizers and before you we could enjoy the appetizers that finally showed up after a long wait, the first person's meal showed up. She was almost done with her meal before the rest of us received our meals. Overall, the food and drinks coming out were spotty and slow, everyone should be served at the same time, and appetizers should not come out with the main course close behind that. Drinks take too long to be served and when the table requests water then everyone should also receive their water at the same time. The food was delicious, though the lamb was a little tough to chew, could have been cooked a little longer to ensure that it is falls off the bone.

This was my second visit to Ashling. It is a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly. Shout out to Carolina who responded to and anticipated needs. The food was served in a timely manner and hot. Even my delayed guests were able to get their food pretty quickly. Everyone loved their dishes and I will be back!

I joined my son and 11 of his friends to celebrate his birthday. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! There was a DJ and karaoke. We danced and sang happy birthday. A good time was had by all! A special shout out to our waiter. I think he was the only one working. He had 2 large parties and 3 other tables but didn’t miss a beat. He took orders and pictures 🥰

I wanted a quiet atmosphere with good food because I knew that my colleague and I had much to discuss. Rips was positively wonderful.

The Grove is a hidden gem. The food was very good and the service was excellent. It is a good place to go for a nice dinner with good size portions at a reasonable price. The ambience was nice with an upscale crowd. The hostess Ms. Ethel is very knowledgeable about The Grove and treated us like family. I highly recommend The Grove and will definitely return.
