About GROVE Restaurant
Welcome to GROVE Restaurant, Patio, and Ballroom, a chef-driven dining destination in Lakewood Ranch offering contemporary American cuisine rooted in technique, intention, and respect for the craft. Co-founded in 2018 by restaurateurs Hugh Miller and Chef Greg Campbell, and the sister restaurant to PIER 22, GROVE delivers a refined yet approachable dining experience built on from-scratch cooking and thoughtful execution.
Our kitchen blends classic methods with modern creativity, focusing on whole, high-quality ingredients and seasonally inspired menus. Every decision in the kitchen is intentional, from baking fresh bread daily to hand-cutting proteins and cooking with beef tallow instead of industrial seed oils. The result is honest food prepared with care, without shortcuts or compromise.
Exceptional Dining Experience
Dining at GROVE is about more than the plate. It is about atmosphere, connection, and flexibility. Guests can enjoy multiple dining environments, each designed to suit a different occasion, from relaxed patio dining and inviting indoor spaces to private events and large celebrations in our ballroom. Whether you are planning a casual night out, a special gathering, or a milestone event, GROVE offers a setting that feels welcoming and considered.
Commitment to Quality
Chef Greg Campbell leads the kitchen with a focus on craftsmanship and integrity. Our philosophy centers on using real ingredients, time-honored techniques, and thoughtful preparation to create food that is both satisfying and meaningful. This commitment shapes every dish and defines the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
