insideOUT was such a cool and fun experience! I would love to stay in the “oasis” part of the restaurant next time instead of at a standard table, but regardless the ambience was wonderful and the food was even better! So cute and lively for a fun brunch vibe and service was also amazing.

This is the first time we’ve had a good experience at the newly remodeled steakhouse. The food came at the correct temperature. Although the sea bass and swordfish entrees were overcooked the flavors were great. The filet was cooked beautifully. The ambiance can’t be beat. I’d highly recommend the Grove as long as they can time the food service the way they did this time.
