"After receiving a gift card from a friend, we decided to give the Grove one last chance. The parking lot was full, so I asked the hostess for directions on where to park. She directed us to a spot across the street, but we couldn't find any parking other than in residential areas. After driving back to inform the hostess that we were having trouble, she tried to help, but we still couldn't find the parking area and ended up parking in someone's yard. To make matters worse, we had to walk across the street in the rain.
When we arrived, we were told we couldn't be seated early due to a private event, even though the main restaurant was quite quiet. Then, when I tried to order my first drink, I was informed it was unavailable because they were switching suppliers. My husband also inquired about an item we had seen on the online menu, but we learned that those menus were different and the item wasn’t available.
Additionally, we felt rushed to order our main entrees because the kitchen was backed up due to the private event, despite the restaurant not being very busy, with many empty tables. If the restaurant can't accommodate regular guests, perhaps it should consider closing to the public during such events.
Sadly, our food was just average. It’s very disappointing to say that the Grove is no longer a place we’d choose to visit again."
