    First of all, this is a new restaurant to us. We were pleasantly surprised. The food, service were excellent. Apparently they make everything from scratch. And it was impressive and it tasted like from scratch. I had the lettuce wraps which were excellent. To my taste, the chicken was a little salty, but my boyfriend thought it was great. I have to say, I was disappointed how horrible their coffee was … just horrible. when you finish off a nice dinner, it should be followed by a nice cup of coffee. In this case, the coffee kind of lessened the wonderfulness of the dinner . And it was impressive and it tasted like from scratch. I had the lettuce wraps which were excellent. To my taste, the chicken was a little salty, but my boyfriend thought it was great. The same goes for the onion soup, which I considered salty as well. My boyfriend had the filet mignon which is cooked perfectly. It seemed to be smaller than 6 ounces however.

    We went for thanksgiving dinner buffet. The Turkey was very moist and delicious. Had prime rib, sweet potato casserole, mussels, shrimp, salad , and desserts were all very good but $55 a little high for every thing. You can only eat so much food. But it was very good.

    Service was below par this visit. Forced 20% gratuity was not appreciated. Food was good, but not great. Knives were not sharp enough to cut the protein.

    We love the Grove, but they sat us at a table that wasn’t cleaned. There were spills on table cloth along with crumbs, plus no silverware. I had to call them over to check and ask to be moved. At the new table, it took awhile to get a server, but once he got there, he was good. The buffet was great, but I did miss pumpkin or apple pie on the desert table. This is Thanksgiving.
