    Very loud and we were outside! Waitstaff shortages….. Good was good but not mind blowing. Skip the chips with the bacon and vinegar. Soup was great! Salad was 30 and had maybe 3 oz seafood but it was fresh at least.

    Atmosphere both inside and outside is lovely. We had the salmon and blue crab/artichoke pasta entrees and both were absolutely outstanding. The Grove is reliably a great experience.

    The food is usually very good but someone in the kitchen was off last night. Two of our dishes had sauces that were very salty.

    Having eaten at the Grove multiple times this bust was a disappointment. French dip had zero flavor, appetizers were delivered incomplete and soggy.

    The food and service were excellent. We sat on the patio and it was pretty noisy but tolerable for sure. Excellent Prime Rib and Baked Onion soup. Highly recommend

    First, our server (Jamie) was very good and attentive. He seemed nervous…perhaps he was new? But he communicated well (such as with the bar being backed up) and checked in with us regularly. The food was average at best, except for the Escargot appetizer, which was very good, and the clam chowder, which was thick and hearty. The fish (I had grilled snapper…though I had actually ordered it blackened…and my wife had blackened grouper) was just OK, but nothing more than I have made at home. Sweet pea risotto was bland and more thick than creamy. Our guests had a filet and the stuffed chicken. I think the latter was OK, but the filet was literally only a half inch thick. Never seen one that thin, even a 6 ouncer. And even with that slim cut, it was more medium (reddish) than the ordered medium well. Disappointing for the price point, but again, our server held things together well, so Kudos to him.

    limited holiday menu... problem with one order but they eventually corrected it... probably should have done something to compensate us for the wait and inconvenience... other dishes were very good, especially the wasabi crusted tuna

    I sat at the bar and had great service from Vegas who made a great drink- met some good people sitting next to me. Very lively crowd around the bar.I ordered the NY Strip and it was overcooked, very average tasting, mashed potatoes tasted good but were not fresh and kinda cold. I don’t think I’d go back for the food but would go back for a drink and conversation.

    The fillets were good. The mashed potatoes were dry and flavorless.
