"Saw this place on my friends Instagram story and the place looked so cute and food looks pretty good as well! My coworkers and I decided to make a reservation on a Saturday afternoon and when we got there, we were seated right away. The place looked really cute! Definitely a spot for people who wanna take pictures for Instagram and whatnot! The setup literally is like your at a spot for a picnic but a more boogie. My coworkers and I decided to order the grove basket which includes fried chicken, biscuits, Cole slaw, veggie platter and banana pudding and we also got the lobster roll. When the lobster roll came out, the presentation looked really nice and simple, same with the basket since we haven't yet opened it. But once we opened the basket, we weren't expecting things to be put in like a Togo box. The lobster roll wasn't bad, the roll itself was decent but the lobster inside was a little bland and I felt like the celery overpowered the lobster. We were expecting the fried chicken inside the basket to be warm and crispy but when we ate it, it was cold like it's been sitting in the fridge for a couple hours so the skin wasn't even crispy. The Cole slaw wasn't even Cole slaw, it was just chopped up veggies and the potatoes in the potato salad was hard. Okay, the banana pudding wasn't bad, had a lot of whipped cream and some real bananas at the bottom. The best thing in the basket was probably the biscuits and banana pudding to be honest. Everything else was just a disappointment. And not to mention everything was pretty pricey! I mean if it were to be worth that much, at least make the food good!"

Absolutely delicious! It was my first time trying the desserts, and while they are a bit pricey, they are incredibly tasty! I can't wait to return before the pop-up closes.

Awesome atmosphere on the second floor backyard . That area is for reservations only so be sure to book ahead! Food was good but overpriced (Not a surprise due to the location). Nice Covid-friendly weekend outing. FYI- the second floor is not dog friendly.

My mom and sister had dinner last night at the Picnic Society by Gwen at the Grove.They said the food was fantastic, real nice outdoor seating , the service was great. But the best part that made the evening so special was the way they were taken care of and treated by the assistant manager Susie, she was so kind beyond words, she helped make the evening special, My mom loved it there too!

Super delayed in writing this review and in the midst of the lockdown I am truly missing outdoor dining!! Picnic society has a gorgeous and relaxing ambiance. Located right at The Grove- highly recommend making a reservation! Service was A1 from the moment we entered. I wish I could remember our waiters name, he made my birthday lunch so awesome! He provided food drink suggestions as well. Once this all clears up I will certainly be returning! View menu

Excellent patio space especially upstairs. I suggest making a reservation to be sure you are seated where you like. Service was great. Food was great: I recommend that raw seafood options (lobster roll, raw bar tower, or.. and the charcuterie; they were all great. Wines are very reasonably priced, rose wine was terrific. Pro tip: because it is a pop-up, they can not validate Grove parking. However, if you spend $250 (which is easy with more than 2 people , the parking lot valet will validate with a receipt.

This pop-up picnic-themed restaurant might be easily overlooked, but the food is incredible. I ordered the half lobster and the Impossible burger, and both were simple yet delightful. The lobster was exceptionally fresh, and the chef had already prepared it into bite-sized pieces. As for the burger, the caramelized onions paired perfectly with the secret sauce, making it far from ordinary. Every single fry was crispy and golden. I did notice some complaints about rude servers, but fortunately, my family and I didn't experience that. Everyone we encountered was very nice and polite. We definitely had a wonderful time here.

This review is for their online platform. I have not purchased from them yet due to online issues. I wanted to purchases their picnic basket that was available for home delivery. It was not specified in terms of when the delivery will happen, so I instead emailed them on their website to ask for delivery times because I wanted to get our basket the day I needed it. Fast forward today, zero response. I tried to go back to their website to order assuming it's either same day or next day delivery since the timing was perfect now. But their website is down yet still listed on Yelp. Hope they can fix their online platform soon. View menu

The hostess seated me at a bare table next to a dirty window in the shade, without any heat lamp. It was clear they recognized me since I made the reservation through OpenTable. All restaurants know that I typically order a lot of food, take a few photos, and then leave in about 30 minutes. I guess this place isn't the most considerate. A smart restaurant would engage with you and offer a friendly atmosphere. I could see from the reflection of their face shields that they were checking out my Yelp, Instagram, and Little Red Book reviews. Then, in an instant, they guided me to my table. I suggest the staff should get some stylish face shields so we can see what they are doing behind the cou...

What was once Dominique Ansel's restaurant at The Grove is now occupied by Curtis Stone's Picnic Society by Gwen. Interesting theme here even though you can't eat indoors and most of the picnic theme furnishings are indoor, a teepee picnic area upstairs and indoor picnic area. Anyways, we came here to try this place after checking out the adjacent stores. Of course dining is outdoors. Heat lamps make this place cozy and comforting. The dishes here is simple with picnic type menu. As a started, we ordered a refreshing shrimp type salad. Forgot the name. It had yellow and orange sweet peppers, poppy seeds, shrimp and honey mustard type salad dressing. Greens were nice and fresh. We enjoyed thi...
