The Grove

One of my favorite restaurants because of the atmosphere and food. Everytime I walk in I smile at the decor, the different types of seating and all of the energy buzzing around from the people enjoying their food and conversations. I still personally think they have the best grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup in the city. Switched it up yesterday though and loved the Grove Turkey sandwich, but still got the side tomato bisque. The staff has always been wonderful, both welcoming and attentive to our needs. It's a great place to catch up with a friend, have a work meeting or even bring a date to.

Man, this place just delivers such consistency. I've gotten almost everything on the menu before and, while there are some desserts I'm not totally enamored with, most everything I have here is very satisfactory. The counter service is quick and the staff is very friendly. The avocado toast with egg is one of my favorites but the salads are amazing. I really like the Berkeley Bowl with chicken breast and green goddess dressing. Plus they have like 3 locations (possibly more) which is also nice.

Great place for a quick bite. Service was good, and food quality was excellent. Prices were good for the portion sizes. Everything we've ordered was great. I decided to try the California hotdog and it was very good....and I'm typically not a hotdog kind of person, but this caught my eye. The wife enjoyed the grilled cheese and commented on how good the soup was, stating it was better than most places. Overall great place to eat at.

The restaurant's decor is a wonderful melange of seating styles & old rock & roll posters & attractive but tiny wooden tables jam-packed into every conceivable space. The first time we visited I had some blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon that were sublime! Unfortunately since then that has been taken off the menu. I would have to say at this point that the food is good and fresh but not incredible. Pick your time to visit carefully, as the place can be so packed it's hard to find a seat.
