    The table was set up nicely
    Veronica H.

    The food was amazing. The service was over the top and the place looks amazing. It's like finding a nice place in a town that isn't too busy but this was the spot.

    Food is delicious and definitely reasonable!

    Another amazing meal at Gene's restaurant. On Saturdays they serve breakfast until they close at 2 PM. The country ham at this place is the best I've ever eaten. The hashbrowns or crispy and the eggs over easy or perfect. Not to mention the great coffee! I highly recommend coming here.

    Chiken Pot Pie with 3 sides!

    Went here once. Never again. I waited 45 minutes for my food, which I later realized was due to…read moreVinny being the only cook and instead of cooking he was out talking to guests who seemed to be regulars. After a long wait, we finally get our food and it's COLD! a few other tables sent their food back (after a long wait) because it was cold as well. I swear I heard a microwave go off a few times while I was there too. Pretty bland, doesn't seem like there's any seasoning at all. Also couldn't help but notice Vinny getting upset the waitresses weren't watching us eat. Personally, I don't like being stared down by staff while eating. Pretty expensive and reservation only with a dress code.

    Hidden jewel in the middle of nowhere. Some of the best Italian food I have ever had and the…read moreabsolute best in the state of South Carolina. The chef and owner, Vinnie, is an authentic Italian cook and cares about the dining experience of each and every patron, thus RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!!! It's definitely worth it as the dining experience rivals pretty much any other you have experienced. Meals are freshly prepared in view of the customers and the same day market staples experience only adds to the special atmosphere. Each menu item is prepared with love and attention so you get a better plated meal than could ever be represented on the menu. Vinnie does have a small staff so although you get special treatment, it might take a slight bit longer than normal but it is worth the wait. I cannot say enough about how good the food is or how much Vinnie cares about your individual satisfaction but once you experience it you will definitely come away impressed. The pasta sauces are awesome and help to properly accentuate whatever protein you choose so feel free to experiment a bit and get out of your comfort zone, you might find a new favorite. This is one of my favorite places to eat and I cant say enough good things, so just "try it, you'll like it (a lot).

Instead, you found a family friendly, casual atmosphere with phenomenal food. The cut their own beef, they pick the best ingredients. The owner was working tonight and just running a tight ship. You can always tell when a business is a team, when the employees are happy. And that natural trickle down feeds the consumer. So, I was dining solo and sat at the bar. I had a lovely chat with a man next to me. Jen was my server/bartender and on top of everything! Lovely young woman for sure. And Jeff took the time to talk to us about how they are different. I really appreciated that his restaurant is approachable. I'm not even sure if that's the right word- it is fine dining food, without the financial or social glam required at other establishments. I mean- family friendly is literal. He has built a business to cater to everyone, anyone. Food- I was so impressed by everything. I ordered the filet and my sides were mac-n-cheese and mushrooms. OH MYYYYYY- Steak cooked medium rare and perfect juicy, flavorful. The mushrooms simply stunned me- I had to ask why there was a sweet taste... teriyaki sauce! I knew I tasted something sweet- it made them so extra and I already love mushrooms. The mac- it looked dry on top, it was just the baked cheese layer, under was the perfect gooey, creamy cheese your soul craves. OH- and btw, the sides were huge! I felt like I could have shared with several people. Wow wow. So much food. Reasonable prices. I had a Filet dinner, 2 amazing sides and a cocktail- $50. For that caliber of food, that is very reasonable. Tomorrow is prime rib night and I sooooooooo want to go back again! Thank you for a fabulous night- I was celebrating and your business made my day even better!

    Excellent food. We have eaten here several times and never disappointed…read more Nice place to get a meal other than fast food.
