| - Excellent food, excellent service, excellent happy hour, within walking distance from our house and the Beachland. What more could one ask for in a wine bar and tavern?
My fiancé and I come here regularly for the happy hour and to grab a bite to eat. We have tried almost every dish on the happy hour menu, except for the two seafood selections, and have enjoyed them all. The duck burger sliders are delicious and well seasoned. The grilled flatbread with arugula pesto and a fried egg is very good, too. Our favorite happy hour dish is the spicy soba noodles. They're extremely spicy and go well with an IPA. They also make excellent burgers, fries, pasta, and a variety of other dishes. After your meal you have to try the tiramisu. It is possibly the best tiramisu I have tasted in my life. We have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered from either the happy hour or regular menu.
The beer, wine, and booze selection is a dream. They have a rotating selection of good beers on tap. The variety often includes at least one IPA, a dark beer, and some sort of barleywine or strong beer. The Grovewood has a nice range of booze and they make an excellent margarita.
The staff are friendly and attentive. Once you have been in the Grovewood a few times they will know your name, where you like to sit, and what you like to drink. The friendly staff and owners are knowledgable about the food, wine, and beer. I think the staff may be the best part about the Grovewood, if not a close second behind the tiramisu.
Street parking is easy in the area for people who are coming from across town.
Also, I can't help but noticing when reading other people's reviews how much the word ghetto comes up. If you think the Grovewood is ghetto then you better drive back out to the suburb you came in from. The residents of North Collinwood don't need you in our neighborhood if you don't appreciate our funky, artsy hood.
