The story
Grove sits along Boardwalk Loop in Lakewood Ranch, a address that places it squarely in one of the Sarasota region's most vibrant communities. The restaurant earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2019, a distinction that signals a wine list built with genuine care and breadth — the kind of program that elevates an American dining experience rather than simply accompanying it.
The Wine Spectator recognition is no small thing: the guide evaluates thousands of lists worldwide and reserves its Award of Excellence for those that show real range and harmony with the food on offer. At Grove, that means guests can expect American cuisine paired with a cellar that has been curated to match it course by course.
Grove also accommodates guests across different occasions — lunch, dinner, takeaway, and delivery are all part of what the restaurant offers, making it a flexible choice whether you're planning a leisurely sit-down meal or keeping things casual.
