GROVE

This was my first time at the Grove and we arrived at the start of happy hour. We got two $7 appetizers and one $14. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were good and the wings were as well. The sliders were off the main menu. The meat was good and tasty but the bun wasn’t my favorite. Note that the old fashioned cocktails are pre-made in batch and are quite sweet in flavor. They were very accommodating for making me one from scratch to my preference. I’ll be back again if I’m in the Lakewood Ranch area.

Really good place for dinner and drinks. Big bar area with lots of seats and open air atmosphere. Happy hour until 7 with good selection of food and cocktail options and $2 off apps from the regular menu. Try the Lobster Cargot. Nice portion. Delicious. Would get it again!

We held our son's rehersal dinner in the Live Oak Room for 40 people. From touring the facility and putting down our deposit in April until the actual event on December 18th, everything went smoothly and the Grove staff was ever so accomodating. We started with a cocktail hour on the patio with passed appetizers. For dinner, we chose a fixed menu where our guests had multiple choices for salad, main course and desert. Everyone raved about the food. The mini cubans and coconut shrimp were excellent. Salmon dishes were perfectly cooked and the ribeye's satisfied all of the meat lovers. Thank you for contributing to such a special night for our family.

Amazing food. All made from scratch from the dinner rolls to the deserts. Unique and delicious meals. Diverse and large selection. Staff very attentive and friendly. Very clean, comfortable seating and perfect lighting. Thank you Chef Greg!

My husband, daughter and I went to the Grove for Christmas dinner. What a great choice we made. I had the Pork Osso Bucco. A braised pork shank with a pan sauce and mashed potatoes. I don’t eat asparagus so I had a side order of heirloom carrots. The pork just fell off the bone it was delicious and the pan sauce was just right for it. Potatoes were good as were the carrots. My daughter and husband had the same meal the Herb Chicken. It was very good with a demi-glacé. The meal came with wild rice pilaf and broccoli. My daughter has a dairy allergy and a manager came out to speak with her and then the chef to make sure there was no dairy in her meal. The service was great our waitress Rachel was wonderful. Do not hesitate to eat here for a holiday dinner. We couldn’t have asked for better.
