    My w2ife and I go to the Grove often, and we always enjoy it. The food and the wine are both consistently excellent. I also appreciate that the folks who work there make us feel welcome-- almost a home away from home. It is a great place.

    Food and wine were outstanding. By far the best meal we had during our stay in Austin. Service was efficient and spot on.

    Was not busy at all when we went. Honestly took away from the ambience. Food was okay, Brussels spouts were amazing though. Good wine flight for the price.

    Hugh wine menu and lots of wine flights to choose as well as by the glass and bottle. Menu is varied and moderately priced. Service was great even though busy. Nice patio for when the weather cooperates.

    The food, wine, and service is always excellent. I eat at the Grove about every two weeks, and am always pleased by the high quality of all aspects of the experience. Highly recommended

    The hostess was rude, the waiter seemed like she was half asleep . Service sucked here, nothing like Cedar Park location. Came for Sunday brunch, won't be back.
