   Always enjoy the Grove. Food was quite good and service was the same. Thanks to Daniel for his help on the wine.

   We went early on a Wednesday evening and arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of Prosecco we both enjoyed. The restaurant was about 20% full. We ordered a cheese and meat board as an appetizer, and our entrees, together after about ten minutes of being seated. It took roughly thirty minutes for our appetizer to arrive and almost another thirty minutes for our entrees. By then it seemed like the restaurant was still only about half full. But after visiting the men’s room I noticed a large private party in another room that may have been the reason our food took so long to come out. We opted to skip dessert since our food took so long to come out and by this time the noise level was making it difficult to hear each other.

   We loved the basket of dinner rolls that came while waiting for the main course. Our server was wonderful with lots of experience at The Grove. My husband and I did not have alcohol but I got a pot of coffe while my husband enjoyed his pot for hot tea. Our 10 year old grandson loves chicken tenders, which were not on the menu, but our waiter said Beau could have an order of the chicken nuggets, which he enjoyed. I loved the Ora King Salmon Two Ways, and my husband got a tasty Copper Shoals Red Drum fish with a platter of cooked vegetables. I loved my strawberry salad and son and husband pigged out on tortilla soup. We shared a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Great place to celebrate birthdays!

   We love the Grove! My husband had the tortilla soup and lamb chops (best soup he has ever had). I had the Strawberry chevre salad and the free range chicken. Both were excellent! We also had spicy ginger margheritas. So good! The Grove is a must if you are in the downtown area and are looking for a great place to dine.

   Food flavor is spot on. I had the filet mignon with Au Gratin potatoes. Filet was cooked perfectly medium and the seasoning wasn't overpowering and really complimented the beef. The Au Gratin potatoes were flavorful, nice sized portion. From previous visits, the noise level can get pretty loud so I was glad that we were seated in a corner away from the front entrance. I also had the coconut sorbet which was a nice treat after dinner. The sorbet was full of flavor but not too sweet. The only downfall....it took forever for our check to come. They had one staff member making his way around the entire restaurant ringing up our checks. We had a table of 6 and I guess because we were located in the far corner, he reached our table last. Also...I would have preferred to leave my own tip versus the 20% add on. It would have been nice to be given an advance notice of this.

   Dinner at The Grove has always been a downtown Houston treat! The service was attentive but not intrusive and our dinners were just great! The window views of families enjoying Discovery Green give weeknight activities accessibility and a festive atmosphere. A great favorite for good food, good service and a change of pace.

    We had a lovely lunch. The menu was not extensive but quite unique and varied. We shared a goat cheese & strawberry spinach salad—light and tasty— and blue crab enchiladas with marscspone sauce! Delicious!!
