I went here for an intimate night with my man and I 100% got exactly that. Provost is a small restaurant with bar seating and booth seating. They also have intimate card games that are great for friend groups and partners that aid with learning new things about your friends and partner. I had the crab quesadillas, fries, sweet chili lollipop wings, & lemon drops. The drinks were a little on the weaker side but the food was good and the R&B music set the tone for an intimate evening. The service was 10/10. I had a great time and I would definitely return.

The Grove is a hidden gem. The food was very good and the service was excellent. It is a good place to go for a nice dinner with good size portions at a reasonable price. The ambience was nice with an upscale crowd. The hostess Ms. Ethel is very knowledgeable about The Grove and treated us like family. I highly recommend The Grove and will definitely return.
