    We stopped here while shopping and regret it. We were so hopeful that it would be good since it had a cute rooftop. However, were so disappointed. The place is dirty. There is mold on the bathroom ceiling, the floors had food all over them, the walls are super scuffed up, and the floors were sticky. The food... well, the guacamole was completely brown, the salsa looked like it had sat out for days, and the pineapple on our drinks had mold on it. Therefore, we didn't end up eating the chips and salsa or the drinks. Therefore chicken and fries were decent and the waitress was kind. However, we would not recommend going here.

    Rooftop bar

    Found the Grove while exploring Savannah on a Monday before work meetings. We found the rooftop and were the only customers which made the experience more pleasant. We initially sat out on the patio but it started to rain so we moved inside. Drinks and food was all good, and our server/bartender was friendly and gave us some tips on places we could visit during our trip. I would go back if I lived here, a nice causal spot downtown with a nice view and cozy ambiance.

    I've been to The Grove in Savannah many times and usually have a great experience, which is why this visit was so disappointing. We went to the rooftop on Sunday when it wasn't busy. It took about 20 minutes for our server to greet us, which we didn't mind. However, his attitude immediately stood out. He was dismissive, rude in tone, and REPEATEDLY walked away mid-sentence while we were speaking. After checking our IDs, his demeanor noticeably shifted. We are of legal drinking age, but it felt like we were treated differently because we were younger. As someone who is ServSafe Manager certified and has worked in the service industry for years, I know how important guest interaction and basic courtesy are. This was not handled appropriately at all. He carried himself as if he were running the place, which felt very off-putting given how we were being treated. He was the oldest server working on the rooftop, so it was very clear who he was. After checking our IDS, His demeanor made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, which is not something we've ever experienced here before. We've always enjoyed coming to The Grove, so this was surprising and disappointing. I hope this was just a one-off experience and not reflective of their usual standard. wouldn't mind paying $16 for a drink if the service was at least halfway decent...

    We made a reservation for brunch which didn't seem necessary once we were in there but we also got there right when it opened. They wouldn't seat me until my husband was also there, which was annoying given the fact that no one else was even here. Service was fine, she did the deed well. This seemed like a cute spot for you to come with your girlfriends and do brunch, very bright and simple...Martha Stewart's vineyard vibes. Everything was done very well, the waffle and potatoes were delish. My husband said the breakfast sandwich was good too!

    A great place to sit on the rooftop on a nice night! The rooftop menu had just what we were looking to eat for dinner. The waitstaff also frequently checked in with us throughout our experience.

    Yes, we were a large group, but we also had orders in BEFORE we got to the location. Even with that, the wait was painful. The MAHI TACOS - Three wild-caught mahi tacos drizzled in a brown sugar jerk sauce, topped with a pineapple relish and cilantro lime cream sauce were actually decent enough to make for a two-star review rather than a one.

    A beautiful rooftop. Terrible drinks - we ordered the Rosemary Sweet Tea and 2 Pink Parodies. Both drinks were not good. The atmosphere was fine. Weather was perfect. Service wasn't bad, they were busy. We left as quickly as possible.

    Chicken and waffles. Cranberry mimosa.

    I ordered the chicken and waffles and it took forever to come out but they said they were making fresh batter. It was very plain but It was good. My friend had the breakfast club sandwich and said that it was delicious. The vibe was great. I like the music they played and how the scenery looked on the rooftop. The fan was a little loud, but it wasn't anything that ruined my experience. The service was great, though our waitress was really kind and made the experience way better. I would most definitely come again, but I'm going to change my order. We also ordered the cranberry mimosa and espresso martini and they were good. but I suggest not getting the cranberry mimosa and just getting a regular one.

    Rooftop hoppin!! We came to check out the view and grab a few cocktails as we enjoyed Savannah during a recent trip. Kept it simple with a Don Julio Reposado and a Ketel One lime and tonic to refresh us. Alejandro at the bar was friendly and great and the vibe on the actual rooftop was chill. Convinced us to also try the summer Capri pouches which were refreshing and gave a great buzz. We didn't do food, but when you enter from the main entrance, lots of people were grabbing lunch. We even stopped by a bit later to see what the evening was like and it stayed busy with traffic so assuming the traditional menu of food was good.

    Stopped in at The Grove on a Saturday afternoon to watch March Madness. Great set up with a nice bar in front of a large screen TV. Very friendly service! Great stop!

    Cool place. Service wasn't great from the start. Also, ordered a $8 mocktail and added a shot of casamigos which equaled $23 (no itemized receipt). That's fine but, my drink had a bug in it as soon as I sat down. When I showed the bartender & asked if I could have a new one, she said it was the risk of sitting outside? (I was holding the drink the entire time so it was pretty obviously in the pineapple juice can or something.) For $23, kinda wild. *Edited to add stars* manager and downstairs staff were great & made me a complementary to go drink!

    We heard good things about this place so wanted to give it a try. The food and drinks were good as well as the service. We went with our family which included children and they found something they enjoyed. I really wanted to sit outside on the rooftop but the menu up there is not the same so we sat inside. It's good to know ahead of time that the rooftop bar only serves bar food so don't go for dinner lol.

    This place was pretty good! Me and the wife went after church for her birthday. We sat on the rooftop where you can oversee downtown which was nice. Wifey love the set up and decoration there. The food was great. Service was good as well.

    Good for kids?

    I don't think so, especially not at dinner. It's more of a bar with food and loud music than a restaurant.

    How are they handling COVID-19?

    The staff is wearing masks and their tables are cleaned after each group of customers. Their downstairs is spaced apart already so feel they have decent separation. Upstairs bar is spaced apart as well and feel you will feel safe there

    Is it pet friendly?

    I didn't SEE any outdoor seating, so probably not🤷‍♀️best to call and ask it was March when I was there, perhaps they do have outdoor seating in the summer?

The online menu photos looked incredible (though I still side-eye those famous PB&J wings--maybe next time!). We chose the Treylor Park Double Wide Diner for breakfast and were thrilled we did. Pro tip: Head there early on a Sunday morning! Alcohol can't be served until after 11 a.m., so the place is surprisingly quiet and easy to get into--no crowds or long waits. We were seated right away, and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive from start to finish. My husband went for The Chupacabra--a massive chimichanga-style breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs, sausage, onions, cheddar cheese, fresh pico de gallo, Sriracha, and chipotle crème fraîche, served with cheesy grits on the side. I ordered the Brunch Nachos, which sounded fun as an "appetizer"... big mistake (or the best kind of mistake!). It was a towering plate of waffle fries loaded with cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage gravy, fried chicken, and topped with sunny-side-up eggs. Both portions were enormous and absolutely delicious--we had to pace ourselves to make a dent in them! Everything tasted fantastic, with bold flavors and that perfect Southern comfort twist Treylor Park is known for. We're already planning to stop by again whenever we're near one of their locations--highly recommend for a fun, hearty breakfast!

The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

However, the lady at the front was not welcoming to us with our children. She said upfront that there are no kid menus, high chairs and strollers had to be placed elsewhere. I get it, it is good for us to know but it came across a bit unfriendly. She also did not want my daughter to momentarily sit in the waiting area with the other guests. I would understand if this was a fine dining upscale restaurant that was quiet but the ambiance was very ordinary. There was regular restaurant noise and people dressed casually. If you are going to advertise your establishment as "good for kids" please consider the way you are talking to families who want to dine here.

This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel.
