Underwhelming.
I really wanted to like this place. I will literally try any restaurant that is Farm-to-table. I support the cause and want it to grow. However, Big Grove Tavern has left me dissatisfied both times I have eaten there.
The Food
Milk braised pork shoulder (4/5) The best dish I've tried, would order again.
Free-range roasted chicken (2/5) Decent portion but too dry and salty.
Pan seared bistro filet (3/5) The meat was seasoned well but the portion was tiny.
Mac-n-cheese (2/5) Dry and only tasted like bacon and onion.
Fried Brussels sprouts (4/5) Definitely would order again
Chicken liver pate, I'm not a fan of it to begin with so it wouldn't be fair to comment on.
The Drink
A bit pricey but overall a good selection of wine, beer, and spirits.
The Atmosphere
It's a very warm and welcoming restaurant that was thoughtfully designed. Definitely makes you feel like you are at a nice restaurant.
Take away
Both entrees that i have personally ordered I was disappointed with. I expect more from a restaurant with entrees at this price point. I'll probably only return for drinks with friends.
