    Service was good, but the food was just okay. Crab cakes were more filler than crab. Risotto was very starchy and not much flavor.

    I had the Braised beef short ribs and they were outstanding! My husband had a chicken pasta dish and salad. It was very good as well. The waitress gave us a delicious desert for our anniversary. Loved happy hour until seven! Sat at the bar after dinner and made a new friend. We love the Grove.

    My husband ordered ossu buco that looked like it had fallen off the plate and they had put it back on. Not a great presentation. The crab artichoke pesto was good but there wasn’t much crab. Not worth the money for that dish. The service was good but otherwise, we probably won’t be back.

    The food I had was probably the best in any visit. I have had to date service started off pretty well but declined over the evening. But overall I was pretty satisfied. Some of the menu items I believe were overpriced but it was Mothers Day and its Sarasota

    The food was good and the service was great, just for some reason the restaurant was very loud. The acoustics seems to echo loud conversations around and the music seemed to be competing against how loud the patrons were. Ambiance seemed to reflect a sports bar on a Saturday night, not a nice sit down restaurant on Mothers Day. Also when we walked in, there was a strong smell of a fireplace or burnt logs. Just by the entrance, it was weird but not off putting. Still would recommend the place to friends.

    I usually don't like buffets and going out to restaurants on special days. The Grove might make me go out on these days more often, The food overall was good the service was really good and the perfect weather made it a great day.

    We were seated at our reserved time, dining area was nice and our server was very polite and attentive. However, the buffet area was poorly set up. The line was long and slow moving. If you wanted seconds you had to get in line again. There was a nice assortment of food but some trays were empty and not refilled in a timely manner and some of the food was cold. The shrimp and grits was one big clump of cold grits. Very unappealing. Aside from all that all beverages were extra. Even coffee….really??? For $50+/pp should be included. Not worth the money!!! Would not recommend!!!

    'We dine at Grove regularly. As with many restaurants we have watched the food and drink prices climb and climb. That being said, service and quality are non negotiable. We have not had issues with service or the quality of food. It is consistent. The menu is pretty expansive and they seem to do a good job of delivering a variety of dishes which is not easy. There is definitely something on the menu for everyone.

    The manager came out and said that they accidentally burned one of our meals and apologize profusely within 3 to 5 minutes they came out with the meal. We were in no hurry, and we told him that and he kept on thinking us. Our waitress was fantastic. the ambience was great. The food was excellent. We will make this one of our go to weekly

    Love this restaurant. Food is always good, servers are friendly and helpful . Must say the last two times in for dinner the hostess’ have been rude. They are not slammed either time we were in, made to feel we were interrupting something much more important. Asked to change to a high top table where it is quieter, obviously not a good idea.

    Food was average. My daughter asked for dressing on the side, it was mixed thru the salad. My husbands hamburger looked like a hockey puck & he only ate half. My hamburger had no seasonings at all. This was our go to place, but its changed in the last few months.

    We had a great time celebrating my father’s 97th birthday at the Grove. It was our first time eating there and the food was delicious. I would have given it 5 stars but my dad’s salmon was slightly over done. We had a very attentive waitress and a nice booth away from crowds. We went early so noise wasn’t too loud until we were ready to leave. We feel fortunate to have such a nice restaurant so close in LWR and will definitely come again
