It was so good I really forgot to take pictures. We had potatoes, meatballs, calamari, chorizo, shrimp, empanadas, Brussels/ mushrooms and beets. We ate all the things. Everything was amazing in different ways. Had a fabulous meal. Service was good and we were happy customers in this mid day meal before a show downtown. It's a great place and casual trendy vibe that is also just a welcoming place. Always solid.

Went to Grove for the first time in a long time and was blown away…read more You can order à la carte, with a suggested two or three dishes per person, or choose the Grove for Two ($150 for seven dishes) or the Grove Experience ($400 for four to six people), which is essentially a tasting of the entire menu. We chose the Grove for Two and had the Italian beef skewers, Hokkaido scallops, green beans, Dukkah Brioche, Brisket Wagyu, Kentucky Fried Quail, and finished with the vegan sundae. The Hokkaido scallops were the biggest hit--served with corn velouté, hazelnuts and summer truffles. Simply outstanding. And the Brisket Wagyu? I'm not even a brisket kind of girl, but holy moly. Easily the best-tasting brisket I've ever had. The only miss for us was the Kentucky Fried Quail. It was just a little too Kentucky fried--the coating overwhelmed the quail rather than letting it shine. Service was friendly and polished. While one person handled most of our table, the entire staff worked as a team, which is always delightful to witness. Grove is also known for its creative cocktails. They were delicious, although given the prices, the pours could have been a bit more generous. On the other hand, the Italian Sauvignon Blanc was a generous pour--and boy, was it tasty. Two strong recommendations- try to book a reservation on the patio if the weather cooperates ( it's fun, it's romantic, it's lovely) AND get the Grove for Two. It's a great value and you'll thank yourself later. The menu rotates, which gives us a very good reason to come back. After this meal, we definitely will.

So close to five stars! The downfall was the dining room was freezing cold, and the PEI oysters…read more(on special) were just OK. Service was cheerful and attentive without being pretentious and annoying. Otherwise, an excellent experience. Following the oysters was the beef tartare with those amazing gluten free seed crackers. They really need to sell those crackers! (They were gracious enough to give us a little stash to take home!). The beef tartare was a tad too cold, but it had a delicious combination of flavors to complement the beef, the most assertive was the Calabrian peppers. The dish was spicy with a touch of sweetness. I feel bad for people who order it without the crackers! However, if you're a beef tartare purist may not care for the additions. Next were the green beans - if green beans were this fresh and prepared like this, I would eat them all the time. They were lightly charred and served in a vinaigrette with aged ricotta salada (one thought there was too much vinaigrette). The last dish was duck confit "salad". The duck was outstanding, nicely crisped and perfectly cooked, with rich flavor. There really was no salad to speak of. The plums and the plum vinaigrette were very light - perhaps they could have had just a bit more flavor to complement and highlight the duck. Really, it's nit-picking - it was a solid dish. The loudness experienced during the previous visit wasn't an issue this time. The wines by the glass, while limited, were good. This is one of the very few times (outside of the Boonville Hotel), in which we have not been disappointed in a repeat visit.

Stella's also had fun arcade games for our youngest dinners to play while we waited for our food. Great spot!

The atmosphere was cool, and our server was super chill and friendly, which made us feel welcome right away. We only wish we had more time to stay because the rest of the menu looked just as good, and we'd love to come back to try more dishes. Service was a little on the slower side, but we were seated near the front on a Sunday night, so it's possible the restaurant was busier than it seemed. Either way, the food was well worth the wait. If you're looking for a place with great vibes and delicious food, this one is definitely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

I went here for the first time in 2026 after constantly hearing good things about this place. I was…read morereally surprised at how extravagantly themed the restaurant is. The theming is truly off the charts with so many cool things everywhere you look. I've been in both the lower and upper floors of the restaurant and the fun follows all throughout. The food was good and had good portion sizes. The menu has a lot of Hawaiian and Asian flavors represented. The drink menu is massive with a great section of NA mocktails that were really fairly priced. We got drinks and entrees and the entire process took around 45 minutes with me struggling to decide what to order. The service is really attentive without being overbearing. The use of both servers and food runners allowed for the process to be quick while not feeling rushed at all. Our server also gave great recommendations and was helpful throughout the night. While the price of things may feel high, I do think the ambiance was pretty worth the cost and the food was enjoyable! I'd definitely come back.

I recently came for a friend's birthday and was severely disappointed on our experience. We had a…read morereservation and were seated promptly but it was downhill from there. While yes, we had a large party, it was clear that the server could have used help. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our drink order (and my friend ordered a beer but she got it in a can), even more time to put in our food order and it took almost 2 hours for our food to arrive. When the food arrived, it was very clear that all the food was sitting for a long time under the heat lamps for a very long time. The kettle chips were hot! And they are not homemade. The burger my friend got was very dry and overcooked (ordered medium) and I ordered grilled chicken on my chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was not seasoned at all. I ordered a full and expected a full chicken breast with at least pepper on it! I got 5 slices... such a joke. The server tried to keep up and had to walk a lot of stairs but the whole experience was very lackluster and disappointing. I would have appreciated her explaining the wait time for food, coming back to see if we needed more water or drinks but nothing. I used to love coming here and I don't think I'll want to return.. it's past its prime and I think there are better places, with better food and better service. Especially for the cost. The other thing that made it difficult to enjoy was the noise - it was overwhelming how bad it was!

The chicken was seasoned with a sweet and tangy sauce served with rice and kimchi. The sweet potato fries were delicious! The only reason why I'm not giving them 5 stars is because we came at 11:30 on a weekday (they open at 11) and instead of taking our orders, the staff was occupied with cleaning and prepping to open, but I feel like this should've been done prior to opening.... Other than that food was great!
