I've been to Grove a couple of times. The food is always delicious and the service is great too. Went last week for an anniversary dinner with my husband. Two big winners of the night--the Banh Mi appetizer (pork belly, perfectly pickled vegetables, siracha aioli, toasted bread, light/fresh/juicy shrimp) amazing! Also fantastic-- (went back the next day to get it... More

We have eaten in fabulous restaurants all over the world and Grove in our "back yard" ranks in the top five for taste, quality, and price. The wait staff is very professional and know how to make your evening an event to remember. We have eaten there twice and both times ordered from the daily specials. Both times it was... More

Located in the trendy Cherry Street neighborhood, Grove Restaurant is a small, upscale restaurant that delivers great food and excellent service. Yes, it's slightly more pricey than some of its hipster neighbors, but the locally grown ingredients and creative use of seasonal food allow Grove to provide an experience that is a cut above those same culinary neighbors. As for... More

This restaurant's decor and menu exudes big city sophistication and with it situated in a trendy city neighborhood, it almost feels like you are in Chicago instead of Grand Rapids. Driving the hour from Lansing, we had really high hopes for this restaurant and unfortunately we were a little bit let down. This is a farm to table restaurant and... More

Apparently, we have never had a basic salad prepared correctly. Nor have we had a medley of warm fall vegetables done right. And I have had nicoise before, even on my wedding day, but never like this. Grove is pricey, but we are already saving for our next visit. Bravo! More

On my first trip to Grand Rapids, I had dinner with a friend on a Friday night. We did not make reservations, and the joint was jumping at about 8:30, but they managed to seat us after a brief wait. The restaurant is casually elegant, with a very warm bar area and a few adjacent cafe tables, and a dining... More

We've gone to this new restaurant twice now, and both times were way above expectations. The chef is an artist. The service is excellent. But it's not a large restaurant, so if you're going, make sure you have reservations because it's nearly always full. Oh, and if you're one of those who gripe about upscale restaurants that serve you a... More

Went to the Grove with friends...a repeat visit for them and first time for us. we were a party of 5. Our reservation was for 730pm on a Wednesday night. The table wasn't ready so we went to the sliver of a bar area to fight the crowd for a drink. The bar area is like a corridor. The bar... More

This was our second trip to Grove and there is a reason why the place was packed both times. The service was wonderful, knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is printed everyday to reflect the ingredients that they are able to get. This not chain restaurant food, it is a foodie delight. Grove combines fresh local ingredients with skill preparation... More
