    The Grove at Copia is such a gem! Everyone needs to try it. It's located in the Culinary Institute of America. It's next to Oxbow Market, but honestly this restaurant is much more in my alley. You can walk around the CIA, there's a really cool museum upstairs open to public and a stunning gift shop. The food at the restaurant is made from their own farm (you can see if from the parking lot). Can't get any more fresh than that. The menu is curated by their students or upcoming chefs, so some of these might be ready for the next big coveted restaurant. The price point is so adorable!!! 4 course Michelin star like menu for only $90 and you will have leftovers! Honestly probably cheaper than whatever you'll end up eating at Oxbow :p This used to be Julia Child's test kitchen and many famous chefs graduated from here. I'm pretty sure they still donate money or are engaged with the institution. The quality of the decor, service, menu is top notch, but not in an uptight way. Our server Maryanne is just the sweetest! She gave us a history of the restaurant and you can just tell she is so proud to work for such a high standard institution. She was very attentive and gave us honest and good recommendations. She sat us right next to the farm so we could watch the sunset while dining for my husband's birthday. You're missing out if you haven't been to this restaurant. Also ask for Maryanne, she'll take such good care of you.

    Food was good but portion was pretty small. It worked but a bit silly looking on the plate. In ordered ricotta eggs with fruit salad and looked like they ran out of ingredients. P

    We enjoyed a delicious Brunch in the outdoor Grove under Olive trees. Our server, Delia, made excellent recommendations for the vegan diners in our party. We saw a chef gathering herbs and vegetables from the garden. After Brunch, we explored the extensive kitchen garden and citrus orchard—a fabulous way to enjoy time with friends.

    I booked a table for four based on the online reviews. This place was just absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, but the customer service completely made this place the absolute most perfect experience. Collin was just so amiable, and MADE our experience. Afterwards we walked to the museum on the second floor and admired the history of kitchen tools and equipment. Just an amazing experience. Can not wait to return!

    We were a party of 4 celebrating a birthday . The birthday girl was treated to a glass of champagne. Service was wonderful! Food was delicious. However the Lion’s Mane mushroom dish was unattractive and was not appealing. The experience was wonderful!

    What a wonderful experience we had at The Grove! The food was outstanding. We sat at the counter to watch the chef’s make each dish we ordered. We even watched them make the tortellini fresh!! A culinary delight. Friendly staff.
