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.

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.

We visited to celebrate my mother’s birthday, not realizing our reservation coincided with the Kentucky Derby event. Unfortunately, the crowd and noise significantly impacted the overall dining experience. While we understand the added pressure of a big event, it still left a lot to be desired.
The place was extremely busy and quite loud, but to their credit, the kitchen managed to get our food out in a timely manner. The extensive drink menu was a plus, and the food was decent bar fare. The pepperoni pizza and blackened grouper sandwich were solid choices.
Our server was clearly new and brought in to help with the large crowd. He was pleasant enough and got our orders correct, but lacked knowledge about the menu—even basic things like the soup of the day—and made no effort to find out. Service was minimal and he did his job but lacks enthusiasm.
We tried a variety of dishes. The mussels were disappointing, with the wine overpowering any other flavors. The seafood Cobb salad was a pleasant surprise—fresh, generously portioned, and easily enough for three people. Unfortunately, the blackened grouper entrée was bland and served with overcooked broccolini. The fish and chips also suffered from being overcooked. As for the Thai beef stir-fry special, it didn’t live up to its name and felt out of place on the menu—something we wouldn’t recommend ordering at a bar-level restaurant.
In summary, while the kitchen’s speed and a few decent menu items were bright spots, the overwhelming atmosphere, inexperienced service, and inconsistent food quality made this a less-than-ideal spot for a special occasion. Perhaps on a regular night, the experience might be better.

We just had an amazing dinner at The Grove. We had the grouper and pasta special, scallops and steaks. Everything was delicious! But, what made the evening truly special was our waiter, Matt! Fantastic service. We never felt rushed and we wanted for nothing! We celebrated a dear friends birthday and the overall experience was truly great! We’ll be spending more time at The Grove!
