Join us at Grovestone for a cozy fall evening where every dish is kissed with smoke and layered with spice. From fire-roasted soups to maple balsamic vegetables and peach-glazed pork tenderloin, this seasonal menu is crafted to warm the soul and spark the senses.
We’ll guide you through each course, pairing bold autumn flavors with carefully selected wines finishing on a sweet note with our smoky, spicy chocolate chip cookies.
Sit back, sip, and enjoy as we bring each dish to life in front of you, sharing techniques, ingredients, and stories along the way.
Great for date night or girls night out! Just sit back, eat, drink and socialize while we do all the work!
