Grove Bay Hospitality Group was created in 2010 with the idea that it would be fully connected to the community. Like our logo, our founders and core team members have deep roots in South Florida. For us, this connection to our community can be in the form of opening a great restaurant, providing new jobs for our fellow Miamians, or even donating our time and resources to the many charities we support.

Named Best Places to Work in 2017 and 2022 by South Florida Business Journal, Grove Bay aspires to enhance the lives of its guests, employees, communities and investors as a restaurant industry leader by developing innovative, memorable and highly successful restaurant concepts. From ingredients to customer service, Grove Bay is committed to delivering only the highest quality across all levels of operation. We believe that if we provide our guests with exceptional hospitality experiences, if we train and take care of our people, and if we're an active member of our community, then the performance and profits will take care of themselves.

In 2022, two of Grove Bay Hospitality Group's restaurants were recognized by the world's most famous restaurant rating guide, Michelin. Stubborn Seed received one Michelin star and Red Rooster Overtown was awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Additionally, through incredible chef partnerships, Grove Bay has been a multi-semi-finalist nominee by the James Beard Foundation.

MISSION STATEMENT

"To Enhance People's Lives –
One Person and One Neighborhood at a Time."

Exceptional Hospitality

To exceed our guests’ expectation with memorable dining experiences by paying attention to every detail and taking care of their every need. Our recipe for success involves three key ingredients:

· A well-trained and thoughtful staff that extends from our front door to table side, whose mission is to address guests’ every need and provide an exceptional dining experience.
· Fresh and wholesome foods, flavorful recipes, careful preparation and attractive presentation. Local vendors and ingredients are sourced whenever possible.
· An ambiance and dining experience that is pleasant and engaging, and that represents excellent customer value and satisfaction.

People Focused

To foster a working environment where employees, management and ownership respects, trusts and takes care of each other.

Our philosophy on people is based upon 3 remarkably simple goals:
· Recruit and retain honest and caring individuals
· Focus on developing individuals
· Treat everyone fairly and with respect
