I saw that Sawgrass Tavern is reincarnating itself as the Grove House.
Is that the same one that is in HITH?
Anyone have the tea?

It’s the same restaurant name as HITH, but FMK is still listed as the lease. Obviously another change of menu, signaling some item either not profitable or selling. Kind of odd they need new training, if the same staff is returning. Line cooks sure, bartender, no, waitstaff maybe, electronic devices instead of previous way to except orders.

The lower price point in the Market of Sawgrass Grove has probably placed too much pressure on the higher price points at the existing restaurant? Many who frequent Sawgrass are “locals” who aren’t necessarily looking at formal dining options. Instead they prefer the quick meals and live entertainment? There is no wait for a check, tips are only at the bar and you are capable of being mobile for all situations. If you are “locals”, why choose that restaurant when there are a myriad of options elsewhere hat provide a different atmosphere than what you are used to?

Multiple friends live within a 3-5 minute walk. So zero issues with parking. The prime sitting is on the covered outside area of the restaurant. Appetizers, mostly drinks, some entrees. Popular for close homeowners. There is actually a schedule of who went first to acquire seats for all. No minimum, rarely an open chair. All are wondering if rules may change with this makeover

We only sit outside if it is early - well before whatever band is playing. Otherwise, you cant even hear yourself think, never mind hold a conversation.
I figured some of the less popular menu items would disappear (really, Scotland isnt know as a gastronomic hot spot lol). They did do themselves a disservice when they got rid of the sticky toffee pudding though.

Trader Joe’s has great individual Sticky Toffee, $2 each.
