Our Story
Husband & wife sommelier team/owner-operators are on a mission to carefully curate cuisine & culture by provided guests with world-class hospitality experiences. The dynamic duo of Jen and Luis Reyneri met over 20 years ago in Orlando, Florida. Since then, the hospitality industry has taken the Reyneri family, including their two sons, all over the world including a year abroad in Europe studying food and wine. With international experience under their belts, they returned to Las Vegas and later back to their roots and family in South Florida to open The Grove in 2019, going on to win consecutive Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence in 2020 & 2021 and Diner's Choice for Best Food from Open Table in 2021 & 2022. By definition, a grove is a small grouping of trees that usually bear fruit. When the Reyneris leaves in Italy, their Tuscan summer villa had peach and olive groves to the East and lemon groves flanked with vineyards to the west. It is with that vision of establishing deep roots to produce "good fruit" and make an impact that they're carefully curating the team, place, wines and food at the Grove. Since the inception of The Grove, they have hosted and been involved with countless community benefits and outreaches. Internationally inspired. Locally owned. That's the Grove: on a mission to transform small-town dining into world-class experiences.
