Guest Reviews
The dinner at The Grove provides a mixed experience with some guests describing the buffet as amazing while others feel the food is overpriced and does not taste good. Additionally, there seems to be a limited menu selection at the Stables restaurant, resulting in some guests feeling disappointed with the acrid tasting steak. However, the lovely food and excellent setting make up for such shortcomings for others who thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Despite these mixed reviews, the pop-up chef menu on Saturday night was deemed enjoyable by some, since it offered a more diverse and affordable option compared to the limited menu. However, there were some delays in service with one guest waiting for over an hour for their steak which was cooked incorrectly.
