    We went here for Lunch then back for Brunch BOTH Saturday AND Sunday hoping the Brunch experience would be better. NOT! Upon entering Saturday, there were 2 young ladies at the hostess stand who seemed so confused it was embarrassing. We were one of only 6 tables occupied inside and once they finally found our reservation, (totally not needed) we gave them the name of the other couple who was meeting us. The other couple was told we were not there, had NO reservation and seated them at the bar, until our friends spotted us! OK. There were only TWO waiters which THEY told us, so the service, even with so few table occupied, was Soooo slow, we almost left. They do not serve brunch on Saturdays, which was disappointing, so we ordered off the lunch menu. Food was mixed but overall good, but EVERYTHING took way too long. Wen't back to try the brunch now on Sunday. This time the hostess seated us quickly, BUT we didn't see a waitress for 10 minutes just to order coffee, with it taking TWO hours to finally get to a check! FOOD: 3 of us ordered the corned beef hash which was so dry and finely chopped that was THE worst has any of us have ever tried to eat. They also seemed stumped when I asked for an iced latte or cappucino! Lastly, as we were sitting, I watched at least 4-5 people slip on their 'laminate wood' floor which had an oily coating on it. People almost fell 3 times that I saw. It happened to me on the way out and finally I asked to speak with the mgr. A woman. When I told her she had a real help issue in terms of NOT ENOUGH, and how slow everything was, she looked at me and said "what can I do for you?" My response was, not just for me, but you have a real problem after which she got defensive. A simple Thanks, I know or I will get it fixed or how was the food? None of that happened. I also told her someone I watched several people slip on her oily floor as we all did & her response was it was due to the "High Humidity" This is Florida. REALLY!?!@ We're done...

    I ordered the crab cake appetizer and there was a hair in the slaw. Also my husband ordered the prime rib and half of it was edible.

    Our 1st time there. Had a wonderful birthday with friends. Food was excellent, great table, not overpriced. Service needed help! I think they were understaffed or so busy that the kitchen had a hard time keeping up. Our server was nice but a little slow. He could have been a bit more attentive!! We will definitely return 😍

    Service was so good. We met old friends that we hadn’t seen in a long time and had so much to catch up on. We never felt rushed and enjoyed every aspect of Sunday Brunch at the Grove. It’s def one of our favorite restaurants
