    The manager was able to accommodate us to sit outside; we had a loud member of our group who didn't want to disturb other patrons. The manager also let us know that if we got too cold that he had prepared a table for us indoors just in case, and would be happy to move us. The weather was perfect and the food was delicious. We were very satisfied with this find, as our daughter goes to FPU, and we were there for family weekend. The loud guy was my daughter's father. We are both remarried, but we do a lot of dinners and activities together. Finding a place that accommodates all of our different tastes and requests isn't always easy. :) Thank you!

    My wife and I love the relaxed atmosphere, excellent date night place. Our entrees, Steak tips and Haddock, were fresh and hot with the right amount of seasoning. A nice variety of affordable wines. Our server was outstanding. We look forward to our next visit

    We thought we would give it another try but nothing had changed. It takes awhile to get your drinks, too cold the a/c blows on your feet, there was 4 of us. The food was less than subpar the potatoes tasted like instant, you could hit your roll on the table it was so hard, no mustard for a burger that you got with 10 fries, lumpy rice and food is overall flavorless . Two of the parties didn’t like their drinks. Definitely not worth the money.

    We always enjoy visiting The Grove at the Woodbound Inn. Whether you sit inside in the dining room, in the Pub, outside on the porch, or the deck, it is always a wonderful, pleasant, and fun time.

    We've been eating at the Grove for several years now, and have seen it go through some changes. For a time, pre-covid, it was our go to for a nice Friday meal. Since then, there have been management and menu changes. The restaurant made it successfully through covid, however in the last couple of years both the service and food quality have been inconsistent. Our service last night was not particularly attentive (though we weren't ignored), and the meal wasn't particularly good (fairly bland). For a Friday evening, there weren't a lot of full tables, yet the air conditioning seemed to be set suitable for a meat locker. I imagine we'll end up going back, but it will be a while.

    The most charming experience in the area. The staff and management are top notch and the restaurant is run so efficiently, but with a home town feel - like you're family. The food is fresh and delicious, and plentiful. It is always a lovely experience dining here.

FAQs

Yes, The Grove is a popular, relaxed spot for date night. Guests frequently describe it as charming and ideal for a cozy evening, with live music on special nights (guitar/violin) and attentive service that many call excellent. The menu focuses on seasonal American fare and pub-style dishes, with wine and dessert highlights that suit a romantic outing. For a quieter, intimate table ask for an early seating or mention it when you reserve.

Casual dress is appropriate, the owner lists the dress code as Casual Dress, fitting the restaurant’s relaxed, hometown feel. Feel free to dress neatly but comfortably for dinner or a special evening.

For a quieter, relaxed meal, visit on a weekday evening (Tue–Thu) or take an early dinner. If you want a livelier experience with live music or special events, aim for weekend nights or holiday evenings (guests mention Valentine’s Day and weekend visits). Reservations or a quick call are wise for busy nights or special occasions.

Yes, families commonly dine here and guests often celebrate birthdays or bring teens. The atmosphere suits family dinners and special occasions. There’s no specific kids’ menu listed in available information, so if you need children’s options or special requests, call ahead to check menu flexibility or private-room availability.

No formal waiting-list information is provided. Given its popularity for special evenings and weekend dining, it’s a good idea to call ahead or make a reservation for busy nights (holidays, Valentine’s Day, weekends). The staff has a track record of accommodating groups and seating requests when possible.

Busiest: weekend evenings and special holiday events (guests noted Valentine’s Day and family weekends). Quietest: weekday evenings, especially earlier seatings (Tue–Thu), when the atmosphere tends to be calmer. If you prefer tranquility, an early weekday dinner is your best bet; for live music or a livelier scene, choose weekends or holiday specials.

They have hosted holiday events (for example, Valentine’s Day with special music), so The Grove does open for some holidays or special evenings. However, regular holiday hours aren’t listed, call ahead to confirm whether they’ll be open for a specific public holiday or special event.

Warm, charming, and relaxed, many guests describe a hometown, family-style vibe with attentive staff. The Grove can be cozy and romantic for date nights and special occasions; live musicians (guitar/violin) have been noted on evenings like Valentine’s Day, adding to the atmosphere. Service is often praised as thoughtful and accommodating.

It depends on what you want: choose Tue–Thu for a quieter, more relaxed dinner (these midweek nights tend to be less busy), and Fri–Sat if you want a livelier scene or weekend energy. The restaurant is open for dinner Tue–Sat, so pick the day that matches your preferred ambience and call ahead for reservations on busier nights.

Portions are generally generous, several guests described meals as plentiful and hearty (French onion soup, prime rib, and entrees praised for being filling). Many diners said the food was satisfying and well portioned for the price. A few guests noted specific sides that missed the mark, so while entrees tend to be hearty, expect some variability in side preparations from visit to visit.

Yes, the staff are accommodating and often honor seating and dietary requests. Guests report managers moving tables between outdoors and indoors for comfort and accommodating vegan diets when possible. Call ahead to mention seating preferences, dietary restrictions, or private-party needs to ensure the best experience.

The Grove is open for dinner most evenings: Tue–Thu from 4:00 pm–8:00 pm, and Fri–Sat from 4:00 pm–9:00 pm. If you’re planning a visit outside these times or for a holiday event (e.g., Valentine’s Day), call ahead to confirm special hours.

Family-friendly: yes, many guests bring family for dinners, celebrations, and college weekends, and staff accommodate groups of varying needs. Accessible seating: not specifically mentioned in available information, so call ahead if you need accessible accommodations; the staff has a history of being accommodating and will likely help arrange suitable seating.

Yes, The Grove accommodates private parties and group events. Guests and the owner’s information note private-party capabilities, and staff are described as helpful and attentive when arranging group seating. Call the restaurant to discuss room options, capacity, and menu planning for your event.

Yes, guests frequently mention outdoor seating on the porch and deck, and staff have accommodated requests to sit outside and to move guests indoors if needed. If you prefer outdoor dining, request it when booking to improve the chance of getting a porch or deck table.
