The Grove restaurant is a true gem among dining establishments in Grand Rapids. They pride themselves on excellent service and locally produced ingredients. As much as possible, they use ingredients that are from local sustainable and family farms. This gives their food a rich, fresh taste that you simply can not find in a franchised chain restaurant.
The décor is upscale and up to date, with lots of brown colors and soft lighting. The atmosphere would be particularly suited for a romantic evening with a special someone. The space is a bit close, but that has more to do with the amount of people dining. The restaurant always seems to be full, which says much about its food. Despite its continually busy state; the wait staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient.
