   The Brunch menu was good; not a lot of options but for the price it was good. We went on Easter Sunday and they included a complimentary Mimosa and there was an Easter egg hunt for the kids.

   Gave 1 star because we made reservations only to get there and they were closed. No one answered the phones. Even when I followed up during the week. Other guests pulled up with reservations as well. If the business is closed please update open table.

   The champagne glass I received had lipstick on it. The food was decent. The service was subpar considering it wasn’t that crowded.

   The service was really bad. The restaurant was very empty so I was very surprised. We had to ask our waitress for napkins, the check, utensils, etc. She didn’t check on us one time and was on her phone or otherwise occupied.

   The Grove is a hidden gem. The food was very good and the service was excellent. It is a good place to go for a nice dinner with good size portions at a reasonable price. The ambience was nice with an upscale crowd. The hostess Ms. Ethel is very knowledgeable about The Grove and treated us like family. I highly recommend The Grove and will definitely return.

   Even though I made reservations and received a confirmation when I arrived at the restaurant it was closed for a private event. This is the fourth time this has happened to me. The manager apologized and made a promise to reduce my check on my next visit. I was asked to email him with my details. I have done so TWICE with no response from him. Due to his lack of interest in retaining me as a customer I feel it necessary to give a poor rating. When I have actually dined there my experience has been nothing short of great, Hopefully management will honor their promises in the future.

   I went for Sunday brunch buffet. It was basic. Decent variety but nothing was that good. Customer service was slow despite it being quiet

   I’ve eaten at The Grove many times. Today, we had an underwhelming experience there. We made reservations for 11:30am for Father’s Day. To our surprise and disappointment, we learned The Grove is no longer serving brunch. Instead, we were give a Father’s Day menu with a very limited food selection. We had a small party of 4 people and had to wait an hour for the food. I observed other people leave the establishment without eating at all due to the tremendous wait for their food or simply not sit down to dine after learning brunch is no longer being served. We tried to give this new experience at The Grove a chance, but will not be returning due to poor food selection, mediocre taste and poor service.

    I was very disappointed! I took my husband here for Father’s Day, but without any public notice, the Sunday brunch was canceled and a new menu was provided. No one in our party enjoyed our food. The tip was already included for our party of three, which I didn’t mind, but there was no notice up front. While our server was nice and the hostess was very pleasant, a DJ took over an hour to set up. We will not return nor recommend this place.
