Grove is hitting its groove
Grove, one of the newer and more hyper-local restaurants on the Grand Rapids food scene, made a recent splash courtesy of a blogger from the Big Apple.
The New York Grub Street restaurant blog highlighted a Grove creation as one of the best new desserts in the country.
“There was a great buzz factor from the article. We had quite a bit of customer feedback and Valentine’s Day was great,” says GM Rob Tamburello. He adds that the creativity and the ability to “push the envelope” at Grove is a natural evolution from “the success and trust of the Essence Restaurant Group.“
Growth for Grove, which opened in September of 2011, will be manifested by expanding options and “adding layers” says Tamburello. Currently, it has about 20 full-time employees, which he feels is just about the right size. “It’s a small staff that are extra committed,” he says. “Everyone is a professional and works at a very high level.”
