“Excellent food and service. The Daily Bread is fabulous. Also had the baby Brussels, Holy Ish short ribs, sesame seared tuna. Everything was amazing. Cocktails Water Lily and Barrel Aged Revolver were perfect. Courtney was an excellent server. The restaurant itself is cozy, well decorated, and relaxing.”
“Not our first time having lunch at Vegan House Shack. The menu is extensive and we have NEVER been disappointed. Today we got the fried mushrooms with ranch to share, phenomenal!! My son got the nachos, my dil got the Nashville Hot chick-un sandwich and I got the crunch wrap...all three meals were delicious! Can't wait to go back. 100% recommend...even if you're a carnivore, you'll be happy! Run, don't walk to Vegan House Shack!”
“I want to commend the Pink Mama's Ice Cream bus driver. I personally witnessed him stop his vehicle at a crosswalk at 385 and West Georgia Rd. He helped an elderly lady cross the street in heavy traffic, ignoring his own safety to do the right thing. The best part was when the elderly lady got to the other side of the road he handed her an ice cream sandwich, free of charge. Anyway, these guys exemplify what being a civil servant is all about!!! Please contact them when you have an event.”

“We visited tonight for the first time. What an amazing experience. The decor transported us into an imaginary space. The service, specialized drinks, and Tapas menu offerings were perfect. No review or pictures can convey how unique of a place this is. If you plan properly you need to make a reservation to visit the Library.”

“We had the perfect date night at Sum Bar. Sawyer, our waiter, was fun and answered all of our questions. We ended up ordering half the menu, including an out of this world short rib special. I got the cocktail with the green bean syrup. It was worth trying something so unique. The hotteok (pancake) was absolutely delicious. We will be back many times over!”

“Staff is always nice upbeat and ready to serve. It feels like they love each customer that walks in the door and their food is excellent. I haven’t gotten a single item that I did not like they have everything you can think of from larger plates to smaller à la carte they even have desserts! I highly recommend the churros and Lola’s Turon (not pictured but did get on a previous visit) Also the Lola’s Lumpia is probably one of my favorites and literally the only place I know of where I can get lumpia!”

“Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere and staff are amazing. All the appetizers were a total hit. The meatballs, wings, and the fried zucchini were my favorites from the appetizers. The bone-in pork chop was cooked perfectly. The stuffed chicken was delicious as well. The 07 is A must-visit!”

“Visiting Greenville for one night and needed a place to eat that we could walk from the hotel. After seeing reviews and asking about SBH BBQ, we went for dinner and were not disappointed. The Sweaty Pig sandwich was delicious and very filling. The chicken nachos had tons of toppings and were very flavorful. We also tried the briscuit/Mac n cheese egg roll and the sweet potato crunch. Again, delicious. April, our server, and Brock, the manager, were friendly and fun to talk to. From the time we walked in the door, we felt very welcome. If you get the chance to visit SBH, don’t miss out!”

“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”

“I've tried eating here a few times at night, they never get the order right due to not writing it down.Waited and waited on service for way longer than I should have. They served to go orders that were taken after mine and got them ready. we work close by and myself and my co workers spend a lot of money there several times a week. The day shift is awesome but your night shift needs to be replaced. The next time your cook has something to say, tell her to bring to the parking lot, I can be just as nasty and rude as she was! I know a lot of people that work around here between food and health care and I will be encouraging them to spend their money where people appreciate their customers! Do better! I've worked catering for years and had to cook and could still get more orders out than that. I'm also calling DHEC for leaving the refrigerator open way too long, letting the Temps rise higher than they are supposed too.”

She exceeded our expectations. She bought my niece a whole box of crayons. That was really sweet. She made sure we got what we requested even as busy as she was and her attitude was amazing!! I would request her again!!”

“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.”

The crawfish etouffee and redfish stir fry entrees were generous portions and the beignets were the perfect ending after a fabulous meal.

“We have had two wonderful experiences at this First Watch. Excellent food and service and highly recommend. However, what I do NOT recommend is purchasing gift cards from the company’s online website. We ordered one as a gift on 12/2 and it was to be mailed. Our credit card was charged on 12/2, but as of today, it has still NOT been shipped. We called and it was difficult to completely understand the lady on the phone. She said she would have them “reship” even though we can see it was NEVER sent in the first place. Confirmation number was given when pressed but it was the same as order number. Now, we are left unsure if it will ever arrive. This has left a bad taste in my mouth.”

“I had the most wonderful experience on April 30, 2023 at The Loft at Soby’s! I highly recommend the Chef’s tasting dinner and I understand they have some upcoming dates available. The menu was 6 courses, but actually there were about 8 or 9 fabulous courses served. The wines chosen by the sommelier were perfect, including a great champagne and a lovely port. This special dinner at The Loft at Soby’s will remain at the very top of my memories and no one is better at making special memories than Soby’s!”

“We had a great experience having dinner and drinks this past week at UP. We met Duke, the manager, as he was jamming some KC and the Sunshine band vibes and got into a great conversation with him about the bar and how Greenville has thrived in recent years. Our server Mollie, was fantastic and provided us with great service and delicious food recommendations. The Carolina Trout is a must as it melted in my mouth. Our drinks were nice and we finished off the night with a tasty cinnamon swirl cheesecake. The food and ambiance were spot on. We ate inside but still loved walking out on the deck to enjoy the beautiful views. This was our last night visiting Greenville, which we loved, and was the perfect way to end our trip. Thank you Mollie, Duke, and everyone at UP!”

Afghan • $$
“Delicious authentic Afghan food in a comfortable atmosphere. I like that I don’t have to make up my mind about what to order, and that you always get a variety of dishes on one plate. I have never come across anything I didn’t enjoy. Try their Kandahar Ice tea! It is extremely refreshing, very lightly sweetened and has a wonderful flavor with a bit of lime and cardamom.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have dined at DeMarco’s several times since their recent opening. EVERY dining experience has been stellar… ambience, service & cuisine, all 10/10! Last night I had the bone-in Pork Chop. It was fresh, large, and had just enough fat, while cooked to perfection. The vinegar peppers brought the perfect level of heat to finish this outstanding Main course! Also, you’ll never go wrong ordering ANY of their Wood-Fired Pizzas! My go-to is the “Mike & Pepe,” but you MUST TRY their “Pistachio Mortadella!” DeMarco’s is exactly what the Downtown needed… HIGHLY-Recommended!💯🤌🏻”

“Meghan(Tyson) our server was AH mazing. We were in town visiting from Wilmington, NC for my husbands birthday. We came into the packed night spot only to end up sitting across from the men's bathroom. She noticed and made sure we had a seat up front to enjoy Chris Hunt, the performer. He was fanstaztic too. She was super attentive despite a full restaurant. She even made sure my husband had a birthday dessert complete with candle and birthday message on the plate. It made his birthday complete. Thanks Champ!💪🎂🎉”

Steak House • $$$$
“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.”

Chinese • $$
“The best Chinese restaurant out there. Next level beyond the typical ones. Food cooked perfectly, seasoned just right. The waitress was very kind and sweet. Only criticism was the choice of music that was some kind of synthwave or something, when in my opinion, low level Chinese music would make the experience even better.”

Definitely a gem in Greenville.”

“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎”

“Awesome and exceeded expectations! Our server, Jennifer, made the difference--engaging, personable, knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure our requests were met--and when several items were not available, she ensured we were satisfied, especially with dessert items that were just out of this world and the general manager came to apologize and was very gracious!! We were also visited by the owner, Rick Erwin, who greeted us along with other tables--a rarity. The evening was totally unique in so many ways--thank you and we will be back from North Carolina.”

“Valentines Day and we ordered the advertised meal for 2......food was good but that's it. First the waitress was scarcely ever there, supposed to be a easy 4 step meal right......nope! Meal was so out of order! Salad didn't show till after the entrée and my husband's plate had 2 potatoes (one was supposed to be mine) on his plate and mine had nothing but a piece of fish. How does something SO easy get so screwed up?! Oh, and the waitress said the manager was coming to speak to us and that never happened ......Then gave us an Aarp discount!!! Seriously?! Not even there yet!! So let's just add insult to injury.....needless to say after all these years, we won't be back!!”

“Our server was pleasing. However, the service seemed slow from the start, even when the restaurant had just opened and was not crowded. I'm glad we had a 5 pm reservation prior to a 7 pm show. The menu was quite limited. Had hoped for the charcuterie board for sharing, but that was not an option. Personally, I would recommend trying other nearby restaurants prior to a show.”

This space removed so much stress from my usual struggle of leaving home with infant twins! So appreciative to whoever made creating the room a priority and to the employee who made me aware of the mother’s room. More businesses should do better and follow Top Golf’s lead!”

“ordered pressco shrimp which was nothing more than pasta water as a sauce. not impressed. ordered the risotto stuffed for an app which never made it to the table and here's the kicker...when we approached the server for seating mind you the restraunt was wide open they attempted to give us a table for two right in the middle of the main doorway from the lounge to the back dining area. I immediately requested a different table. I expected much more. I was let down. sorry guys but it is what it is. rating would be a poor experience based on this FIRST experience. not sure if there will be another.”

“We have had two wonderful experiences at this First Watch. Excellent food and service and highly recommend. However, what I do NOT recommend is purchasing gift cards from the company’s online website. We ordered one as a gift on 12/2 and it was to be mailed. Our credit card was charged on 12/2, but as of today, it has still NOT been shipped. We called and it was difficult to completely understand the lady on the phone. She said she would have them “reship” even though we can see it was NEVER sent in the first place. Confirmation number was given when pressed but it was the same as order number. Now, we are left unsure if it will ever arrive. This has left a bad taste in my mouth.”
