What Sandra F likes about The Grove:
The Grove is situated within the Gordon Beach Inn, just a short distance from the main road (Red Arrow Highway). It features a delightful dining room with a cozy bar at the back and a porch that's perfect for warmer months. The food is creative and stands out compared to other restaurants in the area. Our favorite dish on the menu has to be the ribs—fall-off-the-bone tender with a delicious sauce and generous portion... View all feedback. What Terri Coolidge doesn't like about The Grove:
Very disappointing. Honestly, food was just not good at all. Large portions, but bland and poor quality. You can tell most of the stuff they serve is frozen. Server was so nice though. Hope this place improves. View all feedback.

Eduardo took the time to chat with us and make sure we enjoyed our ribeye on flatbread and black angus burger. A really cozy old inn with out the tourist crowd.
