This is one of my personal favorite restaurants. The staff is top notch, and the food is wonderful. From meat to veggies to pasta to dessert, I'm a fan. In particular, I love the Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower. Either of the apps with a side of extra crispy bacon makes an excellent lunch.
Also, they carry TrueLea Cookies- incredible cookies from their very own hostess, Lea. Yum.
I'm not much on alcohol, but they are known for their wine selection; they have a good beer selection, too. Lola Savannah, their coffee shop, is also wonderful. The baristas are a fun bunch, and like the rest of the staff, know their stuff.
Perfect for catching up with friends after a day in the office. The food and wine were both fantastic and our waitress was extremely kind and helpful. The location and atmosphere were spot on as well.
There was a lot of wine and you could order flights to taste aplenty. Nice vibe. If I was rating this restaurant on the crispy Brussels sprouts alone, it would be a 5 hands down. The other food was good (but not exceptional). The service was surprisingly slow and inattentive. There were some great options on the menu, so I would give it another shot (if I lived in Austin).
My first visit to The Grove yesterday was amazing! The cocktails were fresh and delicious! I tried the Lavender Lemonade, Summer Rita, and Strawberry Refresher, all wonderful! The food was just as great! I had the Ahi Tuna Salad with extra ponzu sauce (I love salt). It was so yummy it’s my fav salad of all time! My hubby had the forbidden rice bowl and added steak. He loved it and I thought it was yummy too! Both were huge helpings! We also tried the fried oysters on their house made potato chips. It was a flavorful and light appetizer. This will be our Austin date night spot from now on! Scottie was our bartender, and wonderful! He was friendly, professional, provided excellent service as well as all the staff. The atmosphere was calm, chill with warm lighting. The music was low enough for having conversations. It was very clean. Can’t wait to go back!
The wine bar offers so much with their flight packages to sample various wines from all over the world. Unfortunately the service wasn't great and made us want to leave sooner then we'd like.

Love it! The food was so delicious and there is a big menu of drinks!
Now open on Fridays for lunch!!
Been coming to this location for years for many different occasions (birthdays, work dinners, and regular Wednesdays with an friend) and it is consistently excellent!
The Grove was really quite affordable, yummy, and had tons of options. Family was in town and we are all picky eaters in different ways - there was an option for everyone here that we were excited about. We ate indoors and thought it looked super nice and modern, but it seems like the back patio is great as well. For being downtown, right on 6th street, it somehow looks like you're in the midst of a forest with tons of trees and greenery.
had an awesome experience at The Grove! the bruschetta options were such a fun app (apple, fig, & brie was our fav) - the brussels were crispy and possibly the best we’ve ever had out! Entrees did not disappoint & huge selection of wines, our waiter was very friendly and we did not feel rushed. Overall a great date night experience!!
I had the chicken and it was fabulous. Creme brulee was also great!
Nice, fresh food. Good service and atmosphere, and then of course there's a great wine menu. They have "flights" for tasting. Sets of 3 wines - small pours 6oz - and they have 10 options (including sparkling, wines and reds), plus of course the full wine and beer menu.
Great place for small or larger groups, with indoor and outdoor seating options.
Great food and ambience. I like that the option of having a bruschetta flight so you can mix and match from the list they have. They were all great especially the avocado + tomato jam+ bacon!
