    The need to do something to the outdoor area. The white chair and white table makes it look cold and uninviting.

    We ordered a bit of everything across the menu, and everything start to finish, from the bruschetta to the desserts, was excellent. We were a party of 8, and everyone enjoyed it all.

    There were 5 of us. We had burrata pizza, salmon salad, Cuban sandwich, red fish tacos and fried chicken sandwich. The fried chicken was overcooked, the tacos weren't great and the pizza was just ok. We also had the homie and whipped feta appetizer that was probably the best thing. We hadn't been to that location before but was less impressed than the Lakeway location

    The Grove, downtown is very reliable and consistent. The staff is friendly and the food is very good. for those who enjoy really good wine at a reasonable price this is the perfect place. Sit on the patio if the weather permits/

    We love the Grove. This was our first time at the Austin location. The food was great as well as the service. It did get a little louder than preferred but it was more to do with the clientele than the location.

    My w2ife and I go to the Grove often, and we always enjoy it. The food and the wine are both consistently excellent. I also appreciate that the folks who work there make us feel welcome-- almost a home away from home. It is a great place.
