We went there for one thing. The clam chowder in a bread bowl with dungenous crab on top. It did not disappoint. The ambiance and atmosphere is really nice. Fancy old school style white tablecloth service. Will definitely be back to try more things!

The specials menu can be interesting. The regular menu is full of go to plates but has gotten a bit tired pricey. I'd rather have a smaller portion at a better price. $20 for chicken stir fry is too high. Portions are very
Large so you can split it but I'm not a sharing sort of restaurant person. Food is good, decent beer selection, full bar and mostly friendly staff. Nice ambiance too. You can pick from bustling courtyard (covered and with AC and growing trees birds) or inside quieter more traditional. Both are great. Great renovation work in 2015. Parking is great. Brunch menu is very nice. Now open for breakfast which I have not yet tried. One of our favorite places to eat. You should try it out.

This has been a staple for brunch on Sunday's. Ask and they will make a Caprese Omelet that you'll keep coming back for. The Bloody Marys are spicy and after all that you'll just need a nap, or a good volleyball game at Kennedy Park to burn it all off. I've met old friends here, new friends, and friends of friends (small world) so if you've spent any time in and around the Grove, you'll probably run into someone you know. Always an entertaining place!

One my my local favorites in the Grove. Location isn't central to the rest of the Grove but atmosphere is wonderful and food is always great and consistent. They will cater for crowds of 1-100 which makes it a good spot for team lunches. The big open windows give a lovely vibe. It does get busy so sometimes there can be a wait for the food. Never too disruptive though. Would highly recommend!!

I've been to Berries 4 or 5 times and the service and the food have been great quality brunch. I feel really happy every time because the atmosphere is great! I usually sit in the outdoor covered tables. They have ample space and parking space so I've never had to wait in a long line, which makes it one of our favorite places.

Great spot. I go for the breakfast. Owner is hands on and always excellent service. Kitchen can be a little slow when busy but they have a good atmosphere so that covers for the kitchen being slow.

I heard great things. But today was NOT great. Cold hard/overcooked food, after waiting MORE than 40 minutes for it. The manager and server were nice enough, and I'll try again, but there is obviously an issue with getting food out of the kitchen.

What happened to this place? An establishment that treats their patrons like trash by giving them less than cafeteria quality food at high prices does not deserve to be in business. $13 for a lousy thrown together chicken wrap. I can imagine the lazy bum chef precooking all the chicken breast on a grill. "Oh yea let me have all the chicken cooked already and if nobody orders I'll keep it on the grill till some sucker orders it" . That's because whoever is cooking, has never eaten out in their entire life in a place better then Macaroni Grill. You can't even come to this place and have a decent meal with your date.... it's all ruined with the crap food.
Chicken all dry, hard, tasteless ( as if it wasn't even washed or salted) and burnt on the outside. It felt like swallowing a whole fish backwards. Then they spoon in goat cheese in one ball instead of spreading it out with pride. "Let me think....would I like to take a big bite of goat cheese? Yuk spread it out in the wrap, your a restaurant for Christ sake! Have some "orgullo". Complete loser kitchen that needs supervision. A hospital cafeteria can make a dumb wrap better than this garbage at Berries. And then they have Churrasco on the menu as if you're going to order that and they can't get a sandwich right.
The staff and servers dont even dare ask anyone "how was everything"?

Great food and service.
