What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

All-Star Best Thing I Ever Ate (Food Network) highlighted a breakfast dish at Grove Hill in its 'Unbeatable Breakfast' episode. Grove Hill was a contemporary American restaurant at 25 Pleasant Dr. in the village of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Cleveland Scene writer Douglas Trattner reported on 2021-11-12 that the building had sat vacant since 2018, meaning Grove Hill had already closed years before that article ran. Trattner wrote that new owners Chris and Lynda Frate spent roughly a year gutting and rebuilding the space -- raising the ceilings, extending the bar, and adding garage doors -- before opening a gastropub, Pub Frato, at the same address later that month. A Yelp business listing updated 2025-06 still marks Grove Hill as permanently closed, and nothing found in this search connects the Grove Hill name to a relocated or renamed operation elsewhere in Chagrin Falls.
