    Great food and ambience. I like that the option of having a bruschetta flight so you can mix and match from the list they have. They were all great especially the avocado + tomato jam+ bacon!

    I had my birthday diner here recently and was highly impressed! They have a beautiful enclosed balcony that was perfect for a fall night! We had great service, food was awesome, and location was convenient. Our waitress were so patient with our large party of 8. They had great recommendations, and were on top of everything! We had a lot of food items, and I would recommend every single thing we had. We had an order or bruschetta, crispy brussel sprouts, petite meatballs, Ora king salmon, shrimp and Italian sausage linguine, pan seared chicken breast, pineapple upside down cake, and cocktails. Everything was delicious and so affordable, we loved it!

    Food 7/10 Service 8/10 Cleanliness 5/10 So food was delicious, however small feedback on charcuterie board, my strawberries were too old , feels like those one were cut at lunch time. Also olives, pickles/ fruits and nuts were mixed like a salad. Kinda strange, eating grapes with pickle cucumbers aftertaste. Negative feedback on a menu itself. Super dirty. Menu is the first thing the guest sees in a restaurant and oh boy , that was filthy. See pictures attached. Kelsey our server was attentive and despite busy section and long wait for first drink order she smoothed it out by her humbleness and sweetness .

    Really great atmosphere here. Service was friendly and fast. Food was very well prepared. Overall enjoyed dinner here as a larger group (7) and would definitely come back. (Bruschetta and Ceviche pictured)

    Great place for wine and food. Many good wine flights or bottles to choose from. Had Brushetta, mussels, and pizza. All were very good. Very relaxed environment.

    Server was super nice but really wasn’t happy with the quality of food. Nice ambiance and huge patio space - wine list was pretty extensive as well.

    I've been to this location before, but it's been about a year since I've dined here. My husband and I visited for dinner one evening this past week. He ordered the shrimp & sausage fettuccine. It lacked flavor and was quite fishy tasting. Overall, we felt the food was underwhelming and was not justified by the total amount paid. Additionally, there were not many patrons dining at the time we visited. I will note that the service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Perhaps we dined on an "off" night.

    Actually one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. We were sat 40 minutes AFTER our reservation time. Was told there’s “a bit of a wait” even though we made the reservations a week in advance. Hostess took us to our seats and bolted out of embarrassment. Didn’t get silverware or menus. Told the waitress once we were finally seated and she simply responded “oh.” After the waitress took our food order, we asked to keep a drink menu and she THREW the menu on the table. Not a single thing was comped at the end. The only positive thing I have to say about this place is that the food came out fast, as it should an hour after we were suppose to eat.

    Love it! The food was so delicious and there is a big menu of drinks!

    The Grove was really quite affordable, yummy, and had tons of options. Family was in town and we are all picky eaters in different ways - there was an option for everyone here that we were excited about. We ate indoors and thought it looked super nice and modern, but it seems like the back patio is great as well. For being downtown, right on 6th street, it somehow looks like you're in the midst of a forest with tons of trees and greenery.

    Now open on Fridays for lunch!! Been coming to this location for years for many different occasions (birthdays, work dinners, and regular Wednesdays with an friend) and it is consistently excellent!

    The wine bar offers so much with their flight packages to sample various wines from all over the world. Unfortunately the service wasn't great and made us want to leave sooner then we'd like.

    My first visit to The Grove yesterday was amazing! The cocktails were fresh and delicious! I tried the Lavender Lemonade, Summer Rita, and Strawberry Refresher, all wonderful! The food was just as great! I had the Ahi Tuna Salad with extra ponzu sauce (I love salt). It was so yummy it’s my fav salad of all time! My hubby had the forbidden rice bowl and added steak. He loved it and I thought it was yummy too! Both were huge helpings! We also tried the fried oysters on their house made potato chips. It was a flavorful and light appetizer. This will be our Austin date night spot from now on! Scottie was our bartender, and wonderful! He was friendly, professional, provided excellent service as well as all the staff. The atmosphere was calm, chill with warm lighting. The music was low enough for having conversations. It was very clean. Can’t wait to go back!

    There was a lot of wine and you could order flights to taste aplenty. Nice vibe. If I was rating this restaurant on the crispy Brussels sprouts alone, it would be a 5 hands down. The other food was good (but not exceptional). The service was surprisingly slow and inattentive. There were some great options on the menu, so I would give it another shot (if I lived in Austin).

    The atmosphere and outdoor seating are great. To say that the food for brunch was like diner food would be a compliment. A bit overpriced for an $18 eggs Benedict.

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for brunch/lunch ($4 mimosas, $6 flights!) with nice outdoor patio option. Food is great and reasonably priced for the location, service can be slow sometimes but food is worth it.

    Beautiful place. Staff was very friendly. The food was good. Your local restaurant.. Recommend the Charcuterie Board, Meat Pizza , Black Pepper Steak and the Flounder.

    had an awesome experience at The Grove! the bruschetta options were such a fun app (apple, fig, & brie was our fav) - the brussels were crispy and possibly the best we’ve ever had out! Entrees did not disappoint & huge selection of wines, our waiter was very friendly and we did not feel rushed. Overall a great date night experience!!

    Went to dinner here for my birthday and had the very best experience. My sister called ahead and told them we were celebrating a birthday and they welcomed us with a free glass of champagne each and dessert after the meal. The food and service were incredible. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to eat here!

    Ambiance is good, but the food was terrible. Overpriced and not so tasty. We got the shrimp and brussel sprouts appetizer. There were like 5 shrimps for $15. Mine main plate was the chicken sandwich as recommended by the server as amazing. I was amazed how bad it was 😂. It was so oily and not very good at all.

  • 1/5 Haley E. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server was completely inattentive and slow. She took forever to take our food order, she only checked on us one time after our food arrived. We had to hunt her down to get the check, which she dropped off and immediately left even though we were ready to pay. Then we had to track her down again to take the payment - we couldn’t find her so we had to grab another person to take our money. It was wildly annoying. The food was mediocre outside of the bacon avocado bruschetta. The Mediterranean pizza was so oily, way too heavy on the toppings. And their chopped salad was absolutely not chopped. If you’re going to have a chopped salad on the menu, it shouldn’t come with whole leaves of lettuce. It should be chopped. Wouldn’t recommend trying this place. You’d be better off grabbing pizza down the road.

    One of the best restaurants in Austin! Incredible food & drink options. Our server, Derek, was the best server I’ve had in Austin! Huge kudos to him. Attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. Plenty of room at The Grove and it’s never overly crowded. 12/10 recommend The Grove and asking for Derek!
