I'm impressed...
OK…read moreso it's a wine store and a restaurant in one. We went with friends, had reservations and were seated promptly. We then took a look around the wine store for something interesting, and found a few bottles that interested us. After being seated and discussing wines with our waiter, we picked two that were served by the glass to taste. We liked the Chardonnay, but the Pino Noir was not what we were after, so our waiter found the bottle we liked in the store and brought it to us. They offer anything in the store for dinner with a $10 corkage fee. The prices in the store seemed very reasonable, so even with the $10 fee added, you are getting a deal.
The place was quite nice. Quaint, quiet, great atmosphere for fine dining. The wait staff was excellent, helpful when needed, and otherwise not noticed. Our waiter was very knowledgable regarding wine and was a real help in that area as well as in selecting our dinner.
We started with two orders of Shrimp Tacos... Domestic Wild-Caught Shrimp, Asian Slaw, and Sriracha BBQ Sauce... Our waiter brought out some extra Siriacha just for fun. The taco shells were thin and crisp. The BBQ sauce was not super spicy but there was some Siriacha in there, with a touch of sweetness added. It's something that I am going to try to replicate at home.
I had the Scottish Salmon... The pumpkin risotto was unique, not sweet like you might expect as in pumpkin pie, but pumpkin flavor in a risotto. I thought it was an excellent meal.
Across the table we had Massachusetts Scallops, Crab Cakes, and NY Strip. Everyone said their choice was excellent.
For dessert, I picked the Trio of Mini Desserts - Apple-Berry Cobbler, Chocolate Mousse, White Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding. All of which were great. The bread pudding won the round. I would really suggest it if you have any affinity for bread pudding.
All together this was an outstanding experience. I am putting it on my list of favorites in Greenville, and will be back soon.
