   This was our second visit and will definitely go back. Had short ribs and prime rib and both were excellent. Friendly staff and great service. We were seated right away both times.

   Kentucky Derby day, very energetic atmosphere! Liz was excellent, personable and professional. My wife's Prime Rib was huge and delicious, as was my Poutine Burger. Great experience!

   Watch your wallet! Overnight, after dining at the Grove, I received a notification from my credit card company questioning a 84% tip. I’m a constant 20% tipper. The Grove changed this tip to 84% in hopes I wouldn’t catch it. This is fraud, it’s illegal and I hope the Grove is prosecuted. Thank goodness for my credit card company in questioning this. Despicable!

   Met a friend for Happy Hour where we served promptly and professionally by Heather. Love keeping it local. Thank you for a nice evening.

   A delicious lunch with friends in a lovely outdoor atmosphere, surrounded by the charm of the Lakewood Ranch Main Street.

   Stefan did a great job with our 7 top, and all the staff there could not have been nicer! Well done!

   We had the Easter Buffet and I had been quoted $69.95 a person. There was no mention of a 20% gratuity being added and an additional 6% sales tax on top of both at the time I inquired about the cost. We learned about this after being seated. This didn't go over well, since we had called ahead and inquired what the cost was ahead of time. We had a 1:45 reservation and we arrived at 1:30 and we're seated immediately. Mike was an excellent server and kept our drinks filled and empty dishes removed. He was the best part of the meal. We were disappointed in the food, as all of our food was cold as the Sternos had gone out. Finally about 2 pm they started replacing the Sternos and bringing out hot food. We felt it was mediocre food and disappointed in the quality food and that was cold when we each initially went through the line. We are most likely not going to return. We don't mind paying for a great meal, but we do expect the wood to be hot and trays refilled. The meal we had the night before at another restaurant was far superior and the cost was 50% less.

    I have heard fantastic things about the regular menu, so this review is not a reflection of that, but specifically the Easter Brunch. The food was fine, but nothing special, and certainly not worth the $70 per person fee. The “hot rolls” station consisted of cold bread, the plates available to pick up at the stations were either wet or dirty, and the food items were akin to what you would expect at a hotel continental breakfast and not a fancy brunch. Definitely not worth the money. Our server was good, which is why this review gets two stars instead of one. Save your money on the brunch buffet and visit the normal part of the restaurant.
