The Grove was good. Good food, service and great drinks. I worry it’s not going to be around for long, we were there Saturday night a few weeks ago and it wasn’t very busy. I’d say it’s a good shout for a date night.


Ugh I hope it doesn't go under! We really need good restaurants in this area.


They recently lowered their prices which is unusual for a restaurant. Maybe that will help bring in more diners.



I hope so, because the menu I looked at (probably the old one) for the Grove is so ludicrously priced. Bruv...it is Potomac, MD. It ain't Nappa Valley or NYC. $50+ entrees, $20+ appetizers, $11 desserts, $9 sides. I don't even want to look at the prices for cocktails and wines. What is it supposed to be, 11 Madison Park? Good grief.


Yes I agree. We went it was ok. Not $50 an entree ok or $20 apps.

It's over hiped over priced blah...


Prices are actually below $50, from $26-48, which is not even expensive for the area. The chef is ambitious and trying to get a Michelin star- I think it’s a bargain. And I’m tired of (with a couple exceptions) all the mediocre food in Bethesda and Potomac- I’m happy there’s a high-end place taking creative risks for such a conservative town. Plus it’s nice for a dress-up date night.

Not Caruso’s Grocery. Overpriced for what it is. Just a step above Olive Garden.

Cooper’s Hawk is disgusting. Why do people keep mentioning it?
And the wine is awful, and their sales pitches awful.

It’s all marketing with no substance.


I enjoy their food and wine.

I’m this pp who was worried it would go under. I finally went Saturday night at 8 and it was packed!


Well that’s reassuring. I hope they stick around.

Zinnia in Silver Spring - good food, very chill, and the garden is especially lovely.
