Utilising fresh produce from the local area, the acclaimed bistro at this hotel aims to serve tasty food that's slicker than your average pub-style tucker. Dishes such as the harissa-spiced prawn skewers on Portuguese bean cassoulet with grilled haloumi cheese, and the twice-baked three cheese souffle, turn dinner at the local watering hole into a gastronomic affair of Modern Australian cuisine. The generous wine list also showcases the stunning produce of South Australia, boasting a number of incredibly affordable drops from the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale.

Back to the drawing board please
The Grove tries VERY hard to be something it is not. - a fine dining experience. The room allocated to the restaurant adjoins a bar style lounge area and all sound between the two is shared and seemingly amplified. The moment the pianist started, the overall noise level rose to a point that conversation became difficult. The wating staff do a good job to the point of over service. We were shown to our table and the specials were read to us before all of our party was seated. There is no organisation among the waiting staff; this was highlighted when one of us ordered a drink and while the rest waited for a winelist, we were asked by two other waiters if we wished to order. It would be better to have one waiter to serve from start to finish and have them know what we wanted than to be bombarded by well wishing wannabes. The food is priced on the upper side of acceptable and too high for the "Family Restaurant" class that The Grove inevitably falls in to. $26.00 for a poorly cook steak is OK but $21.00 for fish and chips is excessive. While mentioning poorly cooked steak, be warned that "medium rare" means there will be a tinge of pinkness in the centre of the meat and no freeflowing juice left to keep the moisture levels up. Bread rolls are available at the salad bar - yes, a salad bar in a restaurant that touts as being in the class above. This was my second time there and both times have had a similar experience. Good for a pub but it is NOT a restaurant.
