YES! A great find that even a lot of locals don't know about. We have some friends who've lived in Cleveland forever so they always know about these lesser-known spots. On their advice we went for the first time on my birthday and have since been back once. Wow! This place was so unique and we really had a great experience both times.
On our first visit, we arrived before the rest of our group and I was starving so we sat at the bar and had a beer and tried the potstickers. Service at the bar was super-friendly and the potstickers were great.
For dinner I had surf and turf - perfectly cooked and delicious.
Sean has gotten the 'quackitori' both times and loved it. Really, the duck is so tender and well seasoned.
The other night I had probably one of the top 5 pasta dishes I've ever had. Yes, at the Grovewood! It was the pasta of the day special - Ohio City whole wheat fettuccine carbonara. WOW was it fantastic! I've been raving about it ever since to anyone who'll listen. We also shared a cheese plate and there was plenty for the 4 of us and was very good and reasonably priced.
The Grovewood reminds me of the good ol' Wisconsin supper clubs that my grandparents took us to for special occassions. Very low-key atmosphere and great food every time. The Grovewood has lots of nightly specials, a big wine list, and we've had great service.
After these two experiences, Grovewood is solidly in our rotation for great local places to take out of town guests - and of course to hang with our local peeps too.
Definitely give this place a try. You won't regret it.
