The Grove Restaurant & Tavern

⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Honest Review of The Grove on LaVista Road We recently visited The Grove on LaVista Road, and overall, I'd rate the experience 3 out of 5 stars. The atmosphere of the restaurant definitely fits the tavern style — it's cozy but also quite dark. Honestly, it was so dim that it was difficult to even see my food clearly, and a little more lighting would really improve the dining experience. On the positive side, the wait staff was excellent. They were prompt, attentive, and got our orders out very quickly. The buffalo shrimp and Asian spring rolls were both delicious and well-executed — probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the main courses were disappointing. I ordered the grouper sandwich, but the fish served was clearly not grouper. As a native Floridian with 59 ye

I Love this place. I don’t come often but when I do it’s always a Great Experience!! Today I ate Shrimp n Grits, absolutely delicious and the andouille sausage was bringing on the heat. Excellent dish. Burgers here are amazing, the sweet potato fries are Great! Service is as always Great as well! Recommend 100% Bon Appetite

Been coming by this restaurant for multiple weeks if I would have known how the food was, I would just keep driving past it. The salmon on the Asian salad had hard spots .the chicken Philly had absolutely no taste, and the servers had long hair with no hairnets. Yes, I checked my food for hair. What I really didn’t like is this is our first time here and we had to stand at the door waiting on the greeter to finish whatever conversation she was having with the lady behind the podium to be seated then find out we can see ourselves.

I passed by this restaurant several times when taking Lavista road to go to work. I decided to finally give it a try for lunch. It was a warm day with people eating outside and inside. The restaurant offers a great variety of American style food and pub fare. I ended up getting sliders which consisted of 3 American Wagyu beef patties topped with small tomatoes and onions with a side of French fries. The meal was filling and good with the sliders coming out as I ordered cooked medium. The multiple televisions inside make it a great spot to go during game days. A special shoutout to my server Lauren who did an excellent job. Overall a good experience.

September 5, 2025. Lunch at The Grove with my 94 year old Mom, and my brother. Excellent service! The young lady who took care of us was attentive, attractive, and professional! She is an asset! The food quality is at about a 75 grade. Onion rings way overcooked. The fish in the fish and chips was just OK. The Asian Spring rolls nothing about to write home Loved the tequila recommendation from the waitress, thank you. From a female owned tequila brand. Best part of the meal. The dessert was allegedly a chocolate cake, but it was more of an ice cream with a little bit of cake. I will return to The Grove just to be enchanted by the wonderful server!
