5 /5 Benjamin Dolinka: My lovely wife took me to Grove for my 60th Birthday on December 24, 2025. We ordered the Dinner Tasting for Two, and it was both superb and sublime. When we arrived and seated, the menu that was brought to me had a personalised "Happy 60th Birthday" printed directly on it, which was very thoughtful.
We ordered the following five items: Miso Cod, Pork Short Rib with Pho Broth, Hokkaido Scallops, Pork Belly, and a special offering for that night of Duck Confit in a Scallion Crepe.
The food was absolutely succulent, well-prepared and presented, and had an exceedingly wonderful melding of the flavours. I would thoroughly enjoy having each of these again; anytime!
The service was outstanding, and it was a joy to see how well the staff operated as a team/unit, from the waitstaff to the cooks, and the manager -- who worked and led by example, in a brilliant bit of teambuilding not seen at many places at all.
The atmosphere was lovely, with just the right amount of ambient lighting and a decided lack of loud patrons, which made the already wonderful dining experience even more joyous.
Taken together, we highly recommend Grove to all who seek an amazing dining experience, from start to finish. Dinner at Grove was exceptional, and we cannot wait to return there again!
