The food was delicious. The service was great. The place is small but has a nice atmosphere. Definitely will be back

I scouted the location prior to my visit, as the lamb lollipops and the escargot caught my eye. However, upon my arrival, I discovered that the majority of the menu were small plated shareables. The space is small and if I'm not mistaken, one server covered the entire floor. She did a decent job managing, although she honestly admitted totally forgetting one item that I ordered. I ended up ordering the gnocchi, lamb chops, potato wedges, gambas (shrimp) and calamari. They let you know up front that the food comes out as it's prepared and not all together. Temperatures were hot and the flavors were OK. If you're looking for a spot to socialize over cocktails and small plates, this is a great spot. I ended up ordering a pizza later that night because the plates definitely don't stick with you. read more

I walked by this restaurant so many times while I was staying at a hotel nearby, but I didn't see too many people inside. Of course, my instincts told me that maybe the food was not good. But I eventually looked it up and found out that the menu was very interesting, and I liked the idea that most of the dishes were shareable. That evening, everywhere else was super busy, but they were not. The service was very good and very fast. The food turned out to be excellent. The chef put a lot of thought and effort into each dish. They were made with really fresh ingredients and the spices and flavors were just right. I couldn't think of anything bad to say about this place. I hope they will get more customers soon because I don't like a good restaurant not making it. By the way, I also like the no-frills ambience. It felt so comfortable and cozy. read more

Pricey for small plates but the portions ended up being decent. There were lots of things to choose from for the custom charcuterie plate. The calamari was vey good. The added string beans were a nice surprise. I really enjoyed the kale Caesar (not overly dressed). The pan fried gnocchi was very tasty. Nice bar area. read more

Curean - Kale Caesar , gnocchi, calamari - Mediterranean Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Delightful place in the heart of Greenville. The ambience was quiet and comfortable and the service was great. Friendly smiles and welcome suggestions about dishes and local favorites. They have a modest but well chosen wine list and the asparagus salad was delicious ... a wonderful mix of different tastes. The small slices of lemon made it light and refreshing. Would definitely come here again. read more

Came here for a friends birthday, we had a group of about 10 and received wonderful service. I'm not sure how she kept track of all the apps, mains and drinks but she was friendly and efficient throughout our dinner. A lot of our group got the charcuterie which I thought was very small for the price but nice that you could build your own. I got the filet which was amazing, super flavorful and fresh. Again, the portion was a 6oz cut of meat and sides were very small so it wasn't a lot of food for the money but I did enjoy it very much. Would go back to try more dishes. read more

I tried Curean for the first time and it blew me away. I shared many small plates with my group. We each had our favorites but we all thought that the shaved asparagus salad was amazing. The olives are a must get, especially for something that I feel like would be overlooked. My group tried the lamb chops and the caulflower. All of the food was great and I loved the attention to the spice combinations. We all tried their cocktails. The cocktail menu is unique and they are flavored well. read more

They have great food and drinks. My favorite dish was the crab Rangoon nachos. They were absolutely delicious and i told everyone about them. It is fun to go with a large group and order lots of dishes and share. I also loved the mushrooms. Good service. I would love to go back. read more

My new go to for date night, girls night, solo night. Etc. this is one of the few restaurants in Greenville, South Carolina, that really fosters an element where you can eat solo either at the bar, or at a table and feel completely fine, so kudos to them for having a cozy and comfortable ambience. Now for the food! We tried many things and all were tasty. My only comment was about the oysters Rockefeller, they were more creamy than a traditional Rockefeller but still tasty. If I had to pick one thing to focus on, and narrow it down to two items and pick the charcuterie board and the potatoes, which really took me by surprise, but when paired with their aïoli, it was absolutely fantastic! Service was excellent. We had Angie and she did a great job checking in on us and making sure we had the best experience while there. read more

Curean is good for a very special occasion-$$$$ The service was excellent, food was okay. The filet steak was a little tough although the lollipop lamb, olives and bread were very tasty. We were there over two hours due to the tapas way of serving. It definitely was a slow night but we did enjoy the quietness and were actually able to talk. I recommend this place but the menu items are very limited. Enjoy!! read more

Checked this new-ish restaurant in Greenville out last night. It was better than expected though the ambiance had a low-energy. The bar area was empty and servers made their own cocktails. Maybe that's intentional on their end, but it also meant there was a little wait for 4 drinks. We ordered the Banana Nut Bread Old Fashioned and it was delish! On the sweeter side so one is plenty to wet the pallet. Best on the menu is hands down the rigatoni. The homemade pasta was cooked to perfection. The cheese spreads for the bread was flavorful and unique, and the tzatziki sauce complimented the potatoes perfectly. 4 out of 5 stars because something was just off and can't quite put my finger one it. But definitely one to check out at least once! read more

OMG. This food was insanely good! My husband and I went last night for Restaurant Week - we had been wanting to try this restaurant out and I was not disappointed. We started out with an Old Fashion and a glass of Prosecco then ordered the Ricotta Gnochi, Butter Lettuce Salad with Pickled Peaches and grilled halloumi cheese; potato wedges with a lemon aioli, the 4 oz. filet, Za'atar carrots and lamb lollipops. We also had the bread tray and for dessert the Crunch Bar. Every single bite was fabulous - I especially like the lamb, cooked perfectly and the Za'atar carrots. Can't wait to go again! Five stars!! read more

First time checking out Curean. Just stopped in for a few drinks before dinner w/friends. This ambiance is fabulous! Great service... I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu. This Pumpkin Espresso martini is TO DIE FOR! I already booked my birthday here! read more

Curean - Pumpkin Espresso Martini - Mediterranean Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

As a bona fide 100% Greek Mediterranean that has lived in Athens Greece for 33% of my life traveled extensively through the Mediterranean basin Italy Portugal Lebanon Morocco the Greek Islands I can honestly say that what the proprietor that is also Greek and hails as a native Cradle, Greenvillian, Vicky S., has accomplished herein within the last year is no small feat. Once again putting Greenville South Carolina on the map like putting a will portions charcuterie board on your tables with a fine selection of wines by the glass bottle and libations as well as mocktails. Whenever I have to travel up to visit dear old mom from the coast Charleston and Savannah I will definitely be supporting this restaurant that can give any restaurant in Charleston and Savannah around for their money downtown proud !! read more

Oh. My. God. You know how new spots have to work out the kinks before they get rolling? Well this place is rolling and I can't wait to see how it does. Pauly was our server/bartender and he was incredibly kind and knowledgable; and a candid comment from another person in my party is "they work their asses off in here". And if you've ever been to Greece, you need to come here for the food. Those grape leaves tasted like mamas. And the espresso martini...oh, the espresso martini. It was IMPECIBLE. I want to gatekeep to make sure I can always get a table, but it's too good not to share. This is beyond good for Greenville. read more

Go there. This place delivers with soul, passion, skill, and heart. Where is the SIX STAR button?

I have eaten here twice and enjoyed the food and service. Leaving a 1-star review because I was incorrectly charged at my last visit. They more than doubled the tip I left. (I left 20%) I called to try to resolve over the phone and it was not handled. Hopefully this review helps them to provide better customer service! read more

First time coming here and will definitely be coming back! We got the bone marrow, ricotta gnocchi, and a build your own charcuterie board. The ricotta gnocchi definitely stole the show!! It was so good we almost got one to go . Switched from outside seating to the bar because It was so hot outside, so we'll have to come back to see how service is. read more

We were super excited to try this new spot! The atmosphere was nice, a little noisy when it's full. The oysters Rockefeller and lamb lollipops were outstanding, everything else was good, but not impressive. The service definitely has room for improvement. We received items we didn't order, we're charged for them and our checks had to be amended several times. I would give it another shot, but it's not high on my list of places I want to go back to in the immediate future. read more

If you haven't tried Curean, you're missing out! Everything is top-notch perfection. The house-made focaccia has the texture of a tight hug from your best friend- perfect for piling on beef tartare, bone marrow, or that juicy leftover goodness from the clams. Briana (hope I spelled your name right sorry in advanced?) is a shining star. A genius designer who WILL tantalize your tastebuds with boozy works of art. Get the Parm Martini! It's delightfully WEIRD. I got lucky with a bar seat, but I recommend a reservation. read more

Nice addition to downtown Greenville the escargot were to die for. Cozy ambiance nice date night spot.

Great atmosphere and food! The drinks I was a bit disappointed with, maybe it was just an off day for them. I would def like to try this place again. read more

Had an amazing birthday here! Sunday is $10 off bottles of wine!!! Beautiful place, the ambiance is dark and cozy. The restaurant is relatively new but they seem to have it going for them! Menu is short but well thought out, we ordered a handful of things to try, everything was delicious. Espresso rubbed lamb was super tender and the chocolate cake was AMAZING. Our waitress was also lovely! I would definitely come back for another date night. read more

This place is amazing! We have been a couple of times and have tried most of the menu. Every dish is wonderful. The fritto misto has a iight batter and the accompanying preserved lemons were a nice touch. My husband had the lamb lollipops and said it was the best lamb he has ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed the bruleed bone marrow. I recommend adding toast points so you can soak up all the yumminess. The cocktails were well balanced and creative. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Totally awesome Oysters for half $$$ on Monday. Will be back next Monday!! Service with a ... from everyone!! read more

Ask for a banquet, the chairs aren't the most comfortable. Service was fantastic, lovely server. Bar looked comfy. Nice restrooms. Looks to be family owned and run, a sweet smiling face to greet you when you enter. A little miscommunication with the reservation but accommodating. Not too stuffy, elegant, private and intimate. Would have appreciated a few more mushrooms with the gnocchi(which was excellent). Nice wine selection. Tried a Chilean wine. Enjoyed, will be back. read more

Walking in we were greeted by friendly smiles. Since our entire party was vegetarian they were very accommodating to helping us pick and choose cheeses for our cheese board without using meet. They did not have very many entrees that were vegetarian friendly so the three of us shared the same meal. The Gnocchi was delicious although I wish there were more mushrooms. read more

Evening out with another couple. We were immediately impressed with the wine selection, but were a bit taken back that our appetizers (calamari and Mediterranean charcuterie board) were served almost ten minutes before our first ordered wines appeared. I apologize for only four stars after a nice evening, but ~ items; as rabbit advertised online, is no longer available; ~ we were seated next to a very, very loud table of 12(?) 40th birthday girls and none of the staff made an attempt to quieten down the group for the sake of the other startled cafe's patrons; ~ and was questioned upon leaving the restaurant about payment after the cash paid tab was picked up at the table from me with generous tip. Let's turn this back to a positive note with our being surprised with the limited menu's entrees being well prepared and being served wine in beautiful Gabriel stemware. How classy. read more

Third time here. First time was best. Don't order the 1/2 chicken - mostly bones and a couple bites of dark meat - no white meat at all for $24. Very disappointed this time. Kitchen had issues with steak - 1/2 medium, 1/2 well done - we asked for medium rare. read more

GREAT experience!! Greenville has been in need of a charcuterie place and this is it! Wonderful, sweet staff and very nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!! My only piece of advice would be slightly larger pours on wine. Definitely plan to be back though! read more

We ate at Curean last night and I'm already ready to go back. The ambience was perfect. We sat at two bar seats, but there were a variety of seating options including a very swanky green curved booth near the window that would be perfect for a girl's night out. We got the lamb lollipops, halloumi, calamari, and a charcuterie board. You get to fill out a form and choose what you want on the board which we loved! The dipping sauce for the calamari was so good. The lamb lollipops were accompanied by a parsnip purée and it was honestly my favorite part of the whole meal. It was so so delicious! The service was fabulous. The drinks were great. I had an espresso martini (Say Expresso One More Time) and my husband had the New Fashioned. My martini had an orange zest on the top which made it different than the average espresso martini and it was delightful. I also had a glass of CityScape Winery Pineapple Riesling. I love that they are serving from a local winery. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was average, especially when we live on the gulf coast near New Orleans which is rich in seafood. The offerings included a small oyster Rockefeller (3 stars), salad (4 stars), bone marrow (3 stars), escargot- bland (2 stars), mussels (3 stars), and lamb chops -bland (2 stars), most of which lacked seasoning and flavor. Service was great. The atmosphere might be more suited for drinks with friends rather than dining. It was an interesting place to experience while traveling. read more

Excellent and creative food. Friendly service. Inventive cocktails. All in a cozy, chic, and inviting setting.

The food was amazing. Large portions on the small plates. Our server Lexie answered all our questions and helped us with the menu. The hostess came and helped clear plates. The one thing that was a slight eye sore was when we asked who the owner was she said "she is" and pointed to a young woman who sat at the bar all evening not engaged in helping or speaking with customers at all. Not a great look. read more
