    Great service from Mario at the bar. Wonderful staff. Pleasant environment. Food was fresh and hot. No complaints will be back

    Cajun Crab Bisque
    Amy S.

    This was our first visit here. On initial look of the menu, there was many items we would like to try in future visit. However, after our visit, I don't think we will be returning. The lack of service just was not acceptable. Bartender was our server. She was not pleasant at all. It was not very busy at all. Food arrived and we had to go to the bar to ask for utensils. We were never given any plates to eat our appetizers. We ordered Cajun Crab Bisque. It had an odd flavor. The crab dip was ok; although the pita chips were good but oily. The crispy wings (garlic habanero) were good but wish they were crisper. A soft drink and iced tea were $5.50 each. I didn't care for the tea flavor so asked for a club soda for the next one, got charged another $4.00. I am just surprised how expensive a soda was. Soda was never listed on the menu but never thought it would've been $5.50. Underwhelmed.

    The Grove is an excellent choice for brunch - they have happy hour every day even on weekends! This place is not only really beautiful, but the food is actually very delicious. I really enjoyed my birthday celebration here. They also have great customer service and we get a lot of food for how much you pay check them out!

    Came for lunch. This is to the far right of the Giant, in the back. Parking is limited around the restaurant, i'd recommend just finding parking in the main big parking lot and walking over. Beautiful, clean, area. I had the Blossom burger. HUGE! lol with plenty of shoe string fries. I barely ate half of it- it was just okay. Shoe string fries were a little too oily for me My team all had the Turkey sandwhich. HUGE too :) they thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was a bit slow. There was maybe 2 tables in the restaurant at the time of our meet up

    Hidden gem in a very convenient location- Cabin John Mall! The decor is very beautiful- feels like a nice sit-down experience without being too expensive. They also have many healthy-ish and vegetarian options, and they were very accommodating of requests. We came for lunch, and they only had the brunch menu out but they let us order off the main one. Would definitely come back, especially for lunch!

    Great ambience. Food was good. Service was good no complaints. I came right around the ending of brunch and it looked like there was a DJ for brunch. Sounds fun for a group of people. Would go back.

    Sauces for the fries: aioli, spicy basil, and ketchup

    I waited until Valentine's Day to visit this romantically decorated restaurant with flowers hanging from the ceiling and large murals depicting floral blooms. They had a special Valentine's Day menu featuring a 3 or 4 course option. I would have liked to try the special menu but we ended up choosing entrees from the regular menu. We started with the famous ferris wheel of fries. The fries were supposed to be flavored with Old Bay, salt and vinegar, cajun, classic, black garlic parmesan, and dry jerk. We were able to quickly distinguish the Old Bay and parmesan fries but the others were pretty plain. We did enjoy the three sauces that came with the fries. The spicy basil sauce was very faint in spice which we liked. The aioli was our favorite in which we got another sampling to finish up the fries. For our entrees we got the reuben sandwich with mash potatoes and the branzino. I normally opt for salmon whenever it's on the menu but decided I would try the branzino for the first time. It is a thin fish with a crispy seared skin. The sauce with shitake mushrooms and cherry tomatoes was a nice complement. I have to admit I thought the pureed peas took away from the dish. I felt like I was eating baby food. I would have been happy with just regular peas. Service was excellent. Parking lot was a bit busy for Friday night but there are spaces. You just have to walk a bit from the Giant supermarket.

    Bacon Funnel Sticks
    Liz R.

    This is a classic case of I should have listened to the reviews but I didn't. I'll start with the positives of our brunch: Our server Paul was AMAZING! The ambiance was great with the wall art and flowers Sadly that's about all that was positive :( The majority of the food was terrible. The "pigs in a blanket" style appetizer was wrapped in deep fried filo dough which sounds yummy except the dough was undercooked and saturated with oil as they didn't let it drain long enough before plating. The cheese grits had zero cheese flavor or consistency and were dry. The "bacon funnel sticks" were dry and tasteless and I'm not quite sure what had to be done in order to make bacon tasteless. The drinks sounded great on the menu but literally looked and tasted like a college student mixed them in their dorm. Brunch in the DMV is a big thing and sadly The Grove didn't measure up in the least bit.

    I first learned about The Grove after seeing Instagram videos of their specials. One thing that stood out was the Wednesday prime rib deal. So we came here one Wednesday evening and when we arrived it wasn't too busy. It was actually pretty quiet inside. The decor inside the restaurant is beautiful, its filled with flowers and has clean esthetic. We ordered the 16 oz prime rib and the real reuben sandwich. The prime rib was decent, cooked to a medium temperature which we both liked. I think it could've used a little more flavor or au jus. I wasn't sure if there were sides included, but it would be nice to have that to pair with the meat. Felt a little odd to just eat the prime rib without sides. Glad we also order the real reuben. The sandwich was tasty. It was on the greasier end, but the pastrami was full of flavor and balanced well with the sauerkraut and Russian dressing. The rye bread paired well because it perfectly balances the saltiness of the pastrami. The service was okay. I noticed there was only one server for the whole restaurant and she disappeared a few times when we wanted to get our water refilled. Overall, not a bad experience and while the meal was enjoyable, some dishes could benefit from adjustments in flavor, or preparation to enhance the overall taste and quality. I believe with a few refinements, The Grove could provide an even more memorable dining experience.

    The blood orange margarita where

    The grove is a very pretty establishment with a great bar and happy hour. Me and the hubby are on a happy hour tour and this jewel is in our backyard and it we were so happy we did. Drink options including a signature old fashion and blood orange margarita were a great way to kick off a great evening. Enough food options to leave full and the service was pleasant with great music. It's not super loud so you can have a great conversation while chowing down on honey old bay wings. We'll be back for sure

    Crab cake sandwich
    Nicardi C.

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it was a lovely experience. I was seated 10 minutes before happy hour ended and I was able to order a drink and appetizer on special !! The decor, food and service were very nice! Our table had the honey old bay wings and they were delicious. Sometimes old bay can be a little salty in my opinion but, not these wings!! In addition, I had a crabcake sandwich with aiol which was also delicious and a nice size.

    Side entrance seating
    Mimi W.

    Was disappointed The Grove transitioned from an upscale Mediterranean restaurant to an American bar and grill and sounds like the shift has sparked mixed reactions among customers. The spot replaced Lahinch Bar & Grill and now it's not bringing anything special to draw people to the back corner of Cabin John Center. It was pretty empty on a Friday night. There is ample free parking at the main shopping center and a few around the back by the "main entrance". The layout and seating process was ridiculous. Entering from the side entrance closest to the main shopping center parking, I was told to walk across to the host stand by the main entrance around the back, only to be seated near the side entrance again. The place was nearly empty, they should just have two host stands or have the waitress seat me first and ask the hostess to bring the menus later. Also we didn't realize we stayed past closing for 25 mins (closing at 10pm on a Friday night for a "bar" isn't a good sign either) but as we thanked the workers on our way out, we saw someone say "thank you FINALLY" - if they checked in and reminded us of the time, we would've left sooner! The recent shift to an American bar and grill has led to a more conventional menu and I understand the business decision to shift to a more affordable concept based on some reviews, but the food was subpar. Ambiance was nice and I'll give it a 4, service was a 2, but food was also a 2 unfortunately based on value (taste vs cost) - see photo captions for review. Doubt this concept would work either, but the decor reminds me of many Asian spots, so I would recommend Vietnamese fusion since there's already a Thai and Japanese spot in this shopping center.

    Usually Marriott restaurant food is decent. This one was not. Sandwich had zero flavor, the spicy…read moreaioli was flavorless, much less spicy. Just a colorful mayo. The fries maybe had been fried at some point today, but were just bland and squishy. Bacon was actually good. Service started off ok, then after specifically asking for a dessert never came back to take a dessert order. After waiting 10 min I gave up and left. Bartender wasn't the friendliest to get the check. Only place to eat if you don't want to drive. Looks like a fun place to watch a game.

    We stopped in to coopers mill for dessert on a weekday. Located within Marriott, it was easy to…read morefind and they had lots of seats open at the bar. I had wanted to check this place out since I recently moved walking distance to Coopers mill. I'm glad we walked because parking is regulated and for hotel guests only. There is limited street parking on pooks hill. The bartender was lovely and we immediately were given menus, when we told him we were there for dessert he recommended the fried cookie dough which was delicious. Comes with taharka vanilla ice cream which I loved since I used to live in Baltimore! The presentation of the fried dough balls was very pretty as well. The other bartender Zobe was a pleasure to speak to. He recommended good drinks and even whipped up a chocolate martini at my boyfriend's request. This place is a little pricey with a very casual atmosphere, but I enjoyed my visit and we will be back!
