Restaurants near Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge

We showed up for dinner late, as the evening was winding down. Everyone was very accommodating, the food was good, it was an enjoyable evening together and then we left.

Great restaurant on the water with outdoor bar and seating downstairs by the water, and upstairs indoor dining with large patio. Beautiful views. Excellent service. Great food and drinks.

We chose The Grove based on the positive reviews we read, unfortunately our experience did not match them. The ambience and service were very good. We were disappointed with both our entrees, especially the Eggplant Parmigiana. I ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese with beef, it had way too much sauce on it, and tomato was the dominant flavor without any seasoning. My wife had the Eggplant Parmigiana, it was extremely tough, unable to cut it with a knife. Pretty much unable to eat it. They did replace the eggplant with another dish. Hopefully this was an isolated experience.

The food was great as was the service. The bar area is a bit noisier than expected likely due to the openness of the room. Would maybe be a bit less noisy in the dining area. Overall the experience was great and I would go back.

Food was delicious. Our server Jules was stellar. They had live music and a great view. We will be back.
