I actually agree with missimpossible's review. I just ate at the Grove and found it to be a great concept, fresh and interesting decor, and what appears to be a great wine/food menu. However, the chef needs a serious lesson or two! I ordered simple dishes that should have been delicious, but failed miserably. Tuscan bean and pancetta bruschetta was bland and dry, and featured burned American bacon instead of pancetta; it could have easily been improved with some basic seasoning, good olive oil and garlic. The tomato/basil/mozzarella bruschetta was much better, but no better than average at any other restaurant.\r

I will return to the Grove, but for wine and cheese only, not to eat an actual meal (light or not). At least until they get a new chef or the current chef gets some serious training.
Pros: Great decor, concept, wine list, decent prices
Cons: Poorly executed food
