Food was good, but service wasn’t. After waiting 15 minutes at our table we had to call a server over just to get water. Food arrived quickly as did the drinks once we were able to order. Very noisy and we were sitting near the bubble machine which was annoying. The teenagers we were dining with loved the swing seat and it was a good birthday treat. I had been wanting to go to Th e Grounds for a long time and was happy to see it, not sure I understand the hype and don’t need to go back.

Lovely food, we really enjoyed every dish. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere both inside and outside in the courtyard. Dishes were well priced along with the wine list, despite us bringing our own wine. The downside was paying a whopping $15 per bottle for corkage, which is outrageous.
