The Write-Up

The full story

The Grove wears its citrus-grove heritage warmly, a golden, textured room in Winter Park Village built for lingering. The New American kitchen sends out croquettes, Cuban spring rolls, and barbecue ribs, with honey biscuits and ahi tuna tartare in the mix, and guests say the food feels like an experience. Service can stretch when the room fills, so come unhurried and order in rounds.

“Highly recommend. Perfect for lunch or dinner. Delicious food, trendy vibe, and great service.”

Our honest take

Citrus-grove heritage worn warmly: textured, golden, and more thoughtful than the corridor expects. The kitchen gets the praise; the service is the stretch, with drinks and courses running slow when the room fills and staff read thin. Go unhurried, order in rounds, and the evening holds together.
