18 Best Seafood Restaurants in Greenville

“Coral offer such an elevated, personal dining experience for my husband and I! The service was incredible, the flavors were wonderful, and portion sizes were perfect. We ordered the red snapper special, the scallops, bread and ocean butter, bangin’ shrimp, and the sticky toffee pudding and coffee for dessert. We would order it all again (and again)! Highly recommend, it’s our favorite restaurant we’ve tried in Greenville!“

“The best restaurant in town!! Five ⭐️“

“10/10!! The food is absolutely incredible. The service is top notch. They went above and beyond for an 18 year old’s birthday that we were celebrating. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“One of the best dining experiences we have ever had. The atmosphere is wonderful. We started with an appetizer of the thick cut bacon which was to die for. Followed up by the New York Strip which was cooked to perfection, and possibly the most flavorful steak I’d ever eaten. We usually do not get desert, but everything so far was so delicious that we could not pass it up. We tried the white chocolate banana cream pie and the butter cake, and an espresso martini. OMG is all I can think to say. Stefan was our waiter, and he was amazing with his detailed descriptions and recommendations. We will definitely be back, and will hopefully be waited on by Stefan again.“

“This place is so so beautiful! The food the drinks the service! Let me tell ya one thing! Theres a guy whom is a manager his name is Duke! He is amazing! Seen him go from tab to table helping his staff and contributing as a team player! Definitely going back Bravo! 5 ⭐️’s“

“Lovely meal with family. Good portions and tasty!!“

“My mother and I are visiting from out of town and heard incredible reviews about this place. We walked over from our hotel and SO glad we did. The food was incredible, staff was beyond patient, kind, and provided a great atmosphere. I want to address the two negative reviews (from the same party, they are just really trying to bring down this establishment) below because my mother and I were unfortunately sat near such a hateful group of women. Their topics of conversation were crude, shallow, and they had a lot of comments around the demographic of those that were serving them. Our server was in tears because of the racist behavior of this group, yet she handled their hate with grace. The staff were not talking bad about the woman, they were trying to assess how to de-escalate such an unnecessary temper tantrum. What really set the group off was the cake charge and they decided to use that as grounds to call their server explicit insults - truly appalling behavior. They called the manager over and the manager, Anna, was quick to sternly and strongly defend her employee who was bullied by a table she was trying to serve. Anba did not yell, she did not raise her voice, and remained professional. Those were not the actions of the unhinged, hateful woman that slammed her things down, slammed the restaurant door, and threatened to “go off” several times, all while calling the staff as many degrading insults she could come up with.

I will be (traveling 3+ hours) back to support this establishment again and again because of the fantastic service and top-tier meals. I hope the family below finds it in their hearts to address & work to change the truly embarrassingly and extremely harmful behavior they exhibited this evening. I would anticipate not so many birthdays would be “ruined”, if they would work to be a bit more kind and not throw temper tantrums in public.

To the server, Catalina that showed this table class and grace when they least deserved it: gracias por todo y por favor, sigan brillando! 💕“

“Consistently good seafood. Fresh tasting, properly cooked and seasoned. Friendly and attentive service. Not too casual and not too fancy but a good dining experience. More expensive than some local places but some of the best seafood in the area.“

“We love this place and the servers are the best! Alex took amazing care of us last night! Can’t wait to go again.“

“As close to a real Cheers as there is in Greenville. Truly a restaurant where “Everybody knows your Name”“

“Great food and great service and atmosphere! Loved it!!!“

“Our server was wonderful & very attentive. The place was packed but the wait to be seated was minimal and the food was served in a timely manner. The grilled Mahi was delicious and try an Island Therapy if your in the mood for a good drink. My husband said his burgers & fries were good too.“

“This place is amazing! The food is extremely fresh and you have so many options to choose from to create your most perfect poke bowl. They have Signature Bowls you can choose from if you aren’t trying to make all those decisions in your first poke bowl experience. The gentleman that helped us was extremely helpful and really wanted us to enjoy our experience there by allowing us complete control of what we created as our meal. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! P.S they have the best Mochi Ice Cream ever. Like it melts in your mouth, not all chewy like a “dumpling” as the gentleman explained which I could totally understand because I have experienced that in mochi ice creams i have consumed in my past. Alright I’m done. Its good. Promise.“

“$20 for a full crab cluster DRENCHED in butter with corn, an egg, sausage, and some potatoes?? Such a steal. Can’t wait for y’all to come back it was amazing“

“Our waitress, Syleana was great and super sweet! Food was great as well.“

“We just had dinner and the food was delicious and our service was excellent thank you Shandra .. you know how to take care of your customers and you do it with a SMILE 😊“

“Best oysters in the upstate. If you blindfolded me and said we were at a restaurant in Boston or Cape Cod, I would believe it. Fantastic!“

“We finished a five day trip to Greenville by having dinner at Soby's. It was packed on a Friday night serving up their "reimagined" Southern Fare. Ordinarily, I would dive in and tell you about all the great food, instead I want to give props to the two line cooks working the Grill and Sautée stations in the kitchen. Our table on the second level looked right down the back (cooking) line. If you've watched The Bear television series you get to see a dramatized version of how a commercial kitchen operates. At Soby's we saw these two guys in action. A nine-steak order at four different temps, no problem. They mowed through an average of 9-10 tickets on the "rail" all night with God knows how many orders per ticket. Great job. Great job indeed! We started our dinner with the Mussles Mariniere sautéed in a bacon, leeks, Manzanilla sherry, cream. So good. I wish the chef would serve four pieces of toast with the dish so you could soak up more of the sauce. I had to try the She Crab Soup, as it is one of my favorites, and Soby's version with aged sherry bowled me over. For our entrees, our server suggested a combination of half portions of their Shrimp and Grits and Crab Cakes. Apparently my wife is not the only one who couldn't decide between the two, and thus a special was born. The crab cakes had a sweet corn maque choux and were served with haricots verts and a mashed potatoes, remoulade. From words on a menu to executed perfection it was a perfect blend of flavors. The shrimp and grits were good, not the best we have ever had, but again perfectly prepared. My entrée was the Braised Beef Short Rib served with mashed potatoes and a Black Garlic Molasses Jus. I watched my dudes on the line make over 20 of these before mine arrived at the table. Fork-tender, the meat had a great depth of flavor from its long journey of preparation. I ate every bite, OK except for the payback bites to my wife for sampling her special. We finished dinner with a piece of their Limoncello Cheese cake followed espressos and Ameretto. Our waitress was perfect all evening. She had a very busy section, but kept the coursing of dinner moving in a relaxed pace. We never felt rushed. Before I end, a word about wine at Soby's. When you arrive at the table, you are given a wine tome. Not a sheet of paper or a wine list you are used to seeing in most establishments. This was a tomb, bound in a metal cover. Soby's owner is a vinophile and has amassed over 2500 wines on the list, that is always changing as choices are enjoyed and more added. It really is quite a stunning list. So get you some Soby's if you're in town. It was a wonderful experience. You too can enjoy food bliss“
