The Grove offers farm to fork dining, often right from their very own garden. We found the food very fresh, imaginative, and provided enough options for our gluten-free and pescatarian diners. Service was very nice and friendly, and we found the Grove to have a cool vibe. This was our second time for dinner (we've also had brunch here), and we will return.

We celebrated a birthday brunch and had a really lovely meal. The birthday guest was presented with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, which was very sweet, however ended up added to our bill. We opted to not make a big deal, since we were dining with a baby in a high chair who made a little mess, and even though we cleaned up some, the staff were super nice and said they'd take care of it. The food was really good, we got the doughnut holes, a couple of fennel sausage stratas (the sprouts on the strata were slightly chewy but fresh and edible), pancakes, and ricotta scrambled eggs, and a couple bloody marys. The kids had plain scrambled eggs which was not on the menu but offered by the wait person. Also really nice. The wait was reasonable, everyone working couldn't have been nicer. It would have been nice to sit out on the patio, but the weather was pretty cold, so we stayed inside. I'd go back.

Amazing! It was the perfect day to be in the Olive Grove. Food was outstanding! And the option for a bottle of Mimosa’s made our visit! Brunch this time. We’ll book ahead for next time!

Nothing was terrible but nothing was great. In the Napa area there are dozens of places that have good food in all price ranges. Food was garlic heavy and uninspiring. Every dish was ok but a little off. Staff very friendly.

It’s a lovely restaurant. The service was pretty. We had brunch there and the food was not up to par. Especially for the price.

We were running a bit late for our Reservation and the host was very gracious and warm. The service from the time we walked in until we finished our meal was superb. Food was great, beautiful presentation and flavors were on point. Great value for the quality. If you’re in the area definitely worth the visit.
