It is with deep sadness that I share the spectacular failure of a 25 anniversary dinner experience at The Grove. Took 90 minutes to serve us cold dishes and my daughter politely asked me if there should only be 6 rigatoni in her dish ?!? There were waiters knocking into each other through the kitchen door, waiters breaking glasses, the chefs dropping large pans and a very apologetic waiter who looked like he had no idea how to function. The entire experience was absurd. We did not complain; our mortified waiter took 10 percent off our bill and we left quickly after paying an exorbitant amount for our meal. Who pays $5/rigatoni ??? What a shame. This would not be acceptable in any viable establishment. Recommend to get this coordinated. This was the most colossal failure of a dining experience I have had. Somebody pay attention and fix this.

The Grove offers farm to fork dining, often right from their very own garden. We found the food very fresh, imaginative, and provided enough options for our gluten-free and pescatarian diners. Service was very nice and friendly, and we found the Grove to have a cool vibe. This was our second time for dinner (we've also had brunch here), and we will return.

We celebrated a birthday brunch and had a really lovely meal. The birthday guest was presented with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, which was very sweet, however ended up added to our bill. We opted to not make a big deal, since we were dining with a baby in a high chair who made a little mess, and even though we cleaned up some, the staff were super nice and said they'd take care of it. The food was really good, we got the doughnut holes, a couple of fennel sausage stratas (the sprouts on the strata were slightly chewy but fresh and edible), pancakes, and ricotta scrambled eggs, and a couple bloody marys. The kids had plain scrambled eggs which was not on the menu but offered by the wait person. Also really nice. The wait was reasonable, everyone working couldn't have been nicer. It would have been nice to sit out on the patio, but the weather was pretty cold, so we stayed inside. I'd go back.

Amazing! It was the perfect day to be in the Olive Grove. Food was outstanding! And the option for a bottle of Mimosa’s made our visit! Brunch this time. We’ll book ahead for next time!

Nothing was terrible but nothing was great. In the Napa area there are dozens of places that have good food in all price ranges. Food was garlic heavy and uninspiring. Every dish was ok but a little off. Staff very friendly.

It’s a lovely restaurant. The service was pretty. We had brunch there and the food was not up to par. Especially for the price.
