For Easter brunch, I ventured in to the grove. It's free parking and a buffet with a carving station, greens, bacon . Sausage, shrimp and grits, Waffles, home fries. Catfish , etc. There is a dessert station, with fruit and chocolate fondue tower. We had pineapple mimosas. It's a family oriented venue and pretty standard brunch. If you want to be around Oak creek residents and golf enthusiasts, this is your place.

Consistency is key!I really don't understand it. Two weeks ago, Taco Tuesday was great food. This week....just sad. The lemon pepper wings were dry, the chicken taco was dry and flavorless, and the shrimp tacos had shrimp with the tails on in them. WHO DOES THAT! The drinks are FULL of ice and have too much liquor without an appropriate amount of mixer so they didn't even taste good. It's unfortunate that this restaurant can never get it together. It would be nice to have a restaurant in the development where we can go and get good food and beverages on a regular basis.....but evidently this is not to be.

We reserved a table for my birthday at 7:00pm on a Thursday. There were no notifications online to inform us that we’d be given a paper menu that was more of what I would find at a pool side. The menu consist of hot dogs, chicken sandwich, salads, wings, and chicken tenders. What kind of dine in meal is this for a Thursday night? There were 10 of us so imagine the hassle and inconvenience of finding another place to accommodate us on a Thursday night. I was so disappointed.

We booked this place to celebrate a family member's birthday. We reviewed the dinner online and was expecting to see the same items online listed on the menu in person. When we got to The Grove that was not the case. They handed us what seemed to be a pool side menu with hotdogs and burgers. This was very disappointing because this was not the menu that we saw online. We then had to find a restaurant at the last minute to go to. I'm not sure if I will be coming back. Our server was really nice but the manager did not seem to care about the inconvenience.

I visited the Grove last night for National Margarita Day in which was advertised by the venue via Facebook. They were understaffed so service was very poor although they had several workers standing around talking. Some of the friends wearing street clothes, were entering the kitchen just randomly. It was a lot of chaos even though Milagros alcohol was there promoting their tequila. I am not interested in returning it was tacky in my opinion.

Young wait staff has to mature and pay attention to the customers. They are too busy talking and don't multitask. Atmosphere is nice Great place for small parties Very nice place Eggs seem to come from a liquid vs fresh. But for $37 it was just fine for us.

The physical ambience is family friendly. It took awhile to be acknowledged and seated even though there were only two occupied tables with customers. There was only 1 hostess serving tables and preparing cocktails. When the food was ready, it was the chef who brought our food to the table. The meal was very tasty, but the cocktails were disappointing. There is potential, but if you go, bring your patience and don't order the cocktails.

The waitress added on to her tip! I had the brunch buffet which consisted of cold waffles cut into quarters, powdered eggs and salty fish. I served myself the whole time and only spoke to the waitress for a check. Even though I tipped her she added more to my tip when closing out the check. Thankfully I get an alert on my phone when a charge is processed!! Won't be back.

I frequent The Grove a few times a year. Each time, there's music and a few customers with smiles and friendly energy. The hosts and servers are professional. The food is good. It is well cooked, but tonight's presentation was lackluster. I loved the catfish and mac and cheese, but the greens were disappointing. Sorry to say. The presentation of the plates and the quality presented, unfortunately, do not complement the price requested. Will I patronize again? Yes. The Grove is a tucked away gem of the community and I happily support. Stop on by. The menu gives an assortment of options.

My family and I recently had brunch here. The food is seasoned really well. I highly recommend the chicken, fish, and the greens. They also have good drinks. It's definitely a place you can take the whole family.

Myself, wife & friend had the worst experience at The Grove Restaurant. Drinks took hour. Refills took another hour. Appetizer took another hour. Meals took another hour. We were there for over 4 hours with no apology from waitstaff or more importantly the manager. The atmosphere was terrible. The manager, Rob is not manager material. If this were my first trip to Maryland I wouldn’t return. Why shout at me or my wife when the most unprofessional person was Rob. He did not care about service, but all he cared about was being paid. Service would have been better without him there. This is coming from a director of leadership, local law enforcement and military service member. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.

We had an exquisite experience. This is a must go again and again. They have a variety of entertainment options. Check their site or call them. Bourbon & Cigars every Friday night. Option for private parties Patio with heaters when the weather is cold. Wonderful vibe. Everyone should experience this.
