If I lived in San Francisco I would totally dine with my family and friends in this cozy, whimsical restaurant at least once a month

The atmosphere here totally reminds me of "Willow" by Taylor Swift with its mountain lodge interior and sparkly indoor lights woven around the trees✨ I've enjoyed eating at both the Fillmore (near SF Japantown) and the Design District (near SOMA and Mission) locations - a total of three exist in SF. In this lively restaurant you'll be served a variety of delicious American comfort foods with fresh, healthy ingredients.

My absolute Fave was the Hot Artichoke Dip😍

This has been by far the most delicious artichoke dip I've ever had. Along with plenty of tender artichoke hearts, it's mixed with cream cheese, sour cream, shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheese, garlic and their house seasoning. My sis and I ate this entire app within minutes as we dipped into it with the freshly toasted bread.

It also paired perfectly with the bubbly mango-passionfruit SF Brewing Hard Seltzer - very San Francisco💁🏻‍♀️

What's the FRESHEST part?

The absolute freshest part was the side of Chicken Tortilla Lime soup. It had a very a pleasant tangy lime flavor throughout with tender shredded chicken and a healthy helping of avocado. Delicious!

I also enjoyed their fresh squeezed lavender lemonade (infused with lavender flowers) with my entree of a grilled hot dog (topped with lots of onions and mustard) and fresh kettle chips. A pretty simple entree in itself, but very fulfilling for me as I'm a huge fan of tasty hot dogs and burgers anytime😊

Fun Fact: The Grove is husband-wife owned with an East Coast and West Coast atmosphere since he's from New York and she's from California.

Other Faves?

Because this atmosphere is so lively and inviting, my friends and I enjoyed more tasty appetizers with a glass of Highway 12 Sauvignon Blanc. I would definitely order a glass of this wine again due to its vibrant flavors of guava, melon and apricot. It went perfectly with the tangy mustard on my hot dog😄

My other favorite app was the Silky House Made Hummus served with grilled pita bread. I loved the fresh lemon and garlic taste of this very silky hummus. Plus, they give you tons of pita bread!

Hope you enjoyed this fun SF spot! Stay Fresh🌭
