This is one of my personal favorite restaurants. The staff is top notch, and the food is wonderful. From meat to veggies to pasta to dessert, I'm a fan. In particular, I love the Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower. Either of the apps with a side of extra crispy bacon makes an excellent lunch.
Also, they carry TrueLea Cookies- incredible cookies from their very own hostess, Lea. Yum.
I'm not much on alcohol, but they are known for their wine selection; they have a good beer selection, too. Lola Savannah, their coffee shop, is also wonderful. The baristas are a fun bunch, and like the rest of the staff, know their stuff.
Perfect for catching up with friends after a day in the office. The food and wine were both fantastic and our waitress was extremely kind and helpful. The location and atmosphere were spot on as well.
Celebrating graduation with our oldest granddaughter. Could not have picked a better place. Great food. Awesome venue. Jeff a fantastic server.
Amazing service! Had a server named James and he was very attentive to our table, very polite, and friendly. Will definitely come back for the customer service and the food was great!

My husband and I started going to the Grove almost 5 years ago. Unfortunately, we only get to dine when we have a weekend in Austin! The patio is the best and the wine/food/and service has always been excellent! Wish we could move this to Frisco!
I had a great birthday party there on the patio. Rain or shine, the patio is a great space for a large group. The food is always wonderful there.
This place has some delicious food and wonderful staff. When you add in the employee discount it makes eating anywhere else a non question! Thank you Chef Mike Ortiz for turning out the wonderful food.
One of my favorite Austin Restaurants. Westlake location is the best venue in my opinion! Love the outdoor seating. Food is great and HEALTHY. Extensive wine list by the glass!
5 stars, though we went on a day when they were testing the fire alarm, the staff was so nice and funny. I mean, we have to make sure these things work, right? Im happy to know it does indeed work. The food was great, wine was amazing and that view from the patio! OMG!!
We had my daughter's 26th birthday dinner there last night it was my first time there, this place is elegant yet cozy the food and the drinks were delicious the service was great too, he was very attentive.
High quality ingredients and excellent staff.
We had brunch here yesterday with my sister and her husband. She had said they had done a wine tasting there a few weeks before and wanted to try the food. Omg! So so so GOOD! We were very happy that y'all cater to veggie eaters like myself and my sister (her husband got the grove hash and I got the veggie alternative so she was able to taste it!) The blueberry cocktail was so good too. It reminded me of a blueberry soda !yum! We will for sure come back �
There was a lot of wine and you could order flights to taste aplenty. Nice vibe. If I was rating this restaurant on the crispy Brussels sprouts alone, it would be a 5 hands down. The other food was good (but not exceptional). The service was surprisingly slow and inattentive. There were some great options on the menu, so I would give it another shot (if I lived in Austin).
My first visit to The Grove yesterday was amazing! The cocktails were fresh and delicious! I tried the Lavender Lemonade, Summer Rita, and Strawberry Refresher, all wonderful! The food was just as great! I had the Ahi Tuna Salad with extra ponzu sauce (I love salt). It was so yummy it’s my fav salad of all time! My hubby had the forbidden rice bowl and added steak. He loved it and I thought it was yummy too! Both were huge helpings! We also tried the fried oysters on their house made potato chips. It was a flavorful and light appetizer. This will be our Austin date night spot from now on! Scottie was our bartender, and wonderful! He was friendly, professional, provided excellent service as well as all the staff. The atmosphere was calm, chill with warm lighting. The music was low enough for having conversations. It was very clean. Can’t wait to go back!
The wine bar offers so much with their flight packages to sample various wines from all over the world. Unfortunately the service wasn't great and made us want to leave sooner then we'd like.

Love it! The food was so delicious and there is a big menu of drinks!
Now open on Fridays for lunch!!
Been coming to this location for years for many different occasions (birthdays, work dinners, and regular Wednesdays with an friend) and it is consistently excellent!
The Grove was really quite affordable, yummy, and had tons of options. Family was in town and we are all picky eaters in different ways - there was an option for everyone here that we were excited about. We ate indoors and thought it looked super nice and modern, but it seems like the back patio is great as well. For being downtown, right on 6th street, it somehow looks like you're in the midst of a forest with tons of trees and greenery.
had an awesome experience at The Grove! the bruschetta options were such a fun app (apple, fig, & brie was our fav) - the brussels were crispy and possibly the best we’ve ever had out! Entrees did not disappoint & huge selection of wines, our waiter was very friendly and we did not feel rushed. Overall a great date night experience!!
I had the chicken and it was fabulous. Creme brulee was also great!
Nice, fresh food. Good service and atmosphere, and then of course there's a great wine menu. They have "flights" for tasting. Sets of 3 wines - small pours 6oz - and they have 10 options (including sparkling, wines and reds), plus of course the full wine and beer menu.
Great place for small or larger groups, with indoor and outdoor seating options.
Great food and ambience. I like that the option of having a bruschetta flight so you can mix and match from the list they have. They were all great especially the avocado + tomato jam+ bacon!
This was very very nice brunch spot.. The flights are great.. This pasta was flavorful. I can make this a repeat..

So food was delicious, however small feedback on charcuterie board, my strawberries were too old , feels like those one were cut at lunch time. Also olives, pickles/ fruits and nuts were mixed like a salad. Kinda strange, eating grapes with pickle cucumbers aftertaste.
Negative feedback on a menu itself. Super dirty. Menu is the first thing the guest sees in a restaurant and oh boy , that was filthy. See pictures attached.
Kelsey our server was attentive and despite busy section and long wait for first drink order she smoothed it out by her humbleness and sweetness .
A new FAVORITE! A+ service, food, wine, ambiance. Almost the entire fantastic menu could be made GF! It was extremely difficult to choose between all the wonderful menu choices.
We had a late lunch here on a Monday afternoon, a wee bit before their generous Happy Hour, but they gave us the deal anyways! My husband had just finished a conference and he enjoyed choosing from their wide selection of quality wines.
They had the most imaginative bruschetta for appetizers, each with a combination of unique & delicious flavors. As a GF diner, I was thrilled that they had GF bread available so I could eat them! We split 4 bruschetta apps & my omnivore husband thought they were delicious too w/ no sacrifice for GF. We also had incredibly fresh & well prepared soups & salad.
Such a nice place for a late lunch. Food was terrific, the place is cozy, and the weather made the terrace a perfect setting for the afternoon. The wine selection is awesome, but the cocktails were definitely too light.
We tried this place for the first time last night. The food was amazing! Shout out to the chef who made my steak to perfection. I didn't even need a steak knife, it was so tender!
My only complaint was the waiter was a bit non attentive. My tea glass sat empty a good while. But the amazing food will definitely earn a return visit.
Great place for brunch/lunch ($4 mimosas, $6 flights!) with nice outdoor patio option. Food is great and reasonably priced for the location, service can be slow sometimes but food is worth it.
Came in with a part of 9 and we were still well taken care of. Got the breakfast hash it was filing and delicious.
