    Starter: Cheddar Corn Fritters with Siracha Aioli
    Melissa W.

    What a great restaurant to try during "Restaurant Week". I will say I was pleasantly surprised but mostly because I am not an Oyster person. Well none of us ordered Oysters and we were all pleased with our food. The corn fritters were not soggy like some but maintained the crunchy texture they needed. As you can see from my pictures the Shrimp Cocktail was for a king. The shrimp were gorgeous and tasted great. For my main course I tried the Salmon which is often my go to, and it was delicious. If the service would have been as good as the food I would have given them 5 's. Unfortunately our waiter forgot about us when our neighboring table arrived. There were some menu adjustments that had to be made and because he forgot to make them he just never returned. Overall I would strongly recommend this restaurant, from the glass wear to the presentation it is a gem in Spartanburg.

    My husband and I had a date night here and really enjoyed it! The ambiance was fun and the service was friendly. We sat at one of their window seats since it was busy. Didn't mind it though! I got oysters to start that were plump and delicious. My husband got the red pepper sea bass and I ordered the herb crusted salmon. Both were delicious and we finished our plates! Our drinks were really good too. He got an old fashioned and I got white wine and ended with an espresso martini that was sooo good Overall the quality of seafood was very impressive for being 4 hours away from the beach! lol We will definitely be back!

    What a cute spot!!! Cocktails. Seafood. You can't go wrong. The blackened cod was fresh and yummy! I want to try and recreate it at home. Our waitress was so sweet and bubbly! My friend and I loved chit chatting with her. We had the best night at Isla's

    We stopped in for Restaurant Week and were blow away by the food and service. It was a busy Saturday night but our server took great care of us. We had a wedge salad, cod puttanesca, blacked sea bass, mussels, a great bottle of wine. It was a fantastic evening. I highly recommend

    Spartanburg's newest restaurant ISLA ON THE SQUARE opened this week downtown. They created a lovely interior dining area with a large bar and seating both upstairs and downstairs. It was loud when we were there because it was a big crowd. Upon arriving we were seated with a small cocktail and oyster menu. The hostess said our server would bring the dinner menu. (This ended up not being helpful for us as I would have ordered an appetizer from the dinner menu). My dinner partner ordered a dozen steamed oysters.($30) and one of their special cocktails. I had a glass of wine. They have a large wine selection. The oysters were eaten before we ever received the dinner menu. (Again, we will request the menu when seated the next time so I can plan my entire meal at one time without waiting.) I'm not sure why it was done that way. To be fair, they have only been open 3 days so there are things that have to be worked through. For or two entrees we had Clam Linguine ($27) and Sesame Ginger Shrimp Salad ($18). Both dishes were delicious. Sorry no pictures. I was distracted. The Clam Linguine had an amazing lemon garlic broth with a dozen clams and 2 very small pieces of grilled crostini. I would have liked to have more crostini to soak up that broth. The Sesame Ginger Shrimp (my partner ordered) had 6 Large fried shrimp crispy breaded with sesame seeds on a bed of salad. (I didn't eat it however it smelled wonderful!) For dessert we shared a Blueberry/Blackberry Cream Brûlée . It was perfect! This is an upscale oyster and seafood restaurant. They serve oysters sourced from Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, New England to name a few and fresh fish. The manager stated the entree menu would change several times a year as fresh seafood is sourced. This is not a $1 oyster or fried seafood restaurant. It is a welcomed and needed upscale dining experience for Spartanburg. The managers visited the tables. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back.

    The food, the vibes, the service and the people! Absolutely loved it and surprised to see such quality seafood here in Spartanburg. Bathrooms were clean and restaurant had a cozy coastal vibe to it. Will frequent this place!

The vibe inside is very Eden meets 90s lounge, and the music is R&B chill. I was jamming very song so that's a +++. We were greeted right away and service was like that all night. The staff was the best part! They were friendly, attentive, and all in costume (which was cute). I revived drink recommendations and tried 2. Both were good. Purple Rain (smoother) and the Blackberry Lemon Drop (sharper). There are many more that look delicious, too, so I'll try more one day. We started with the collard green dip appetizer and that was our favorite food item. It was served with seasoned (and warm!) pita chips. I only wish it was a little thicker. Our entrees had good portions and came out hot. I enjoyed the jerk salmon overall but wish the meat itself had its own flavor too. The jerk did it all in this case. The collard greens were good to me (my guy wished for less salt/seasoning). My guy had the lamb chops, greens, and mashed potatoes. He was okay with everything but not in love with anything but that dip! All in all I think we will return to try more of the menu and I'll certainly be back to try the cocktails.

My wife had the Cajun chicken Alfredo, which was also outstanding--rich, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. We also tried the sweet potato cornbread, which was wonderful and a definite standout. Both of our cocktails were well made and complemented the meal nicely. On top of the great food and drinks, the service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Suitcase Social Club Dispatch No. 47: "Timmy vs. The Lumberjacks"…read more If you've ever wondered what happens when a grown man with sales quotas, a mild caffeine imbalance, and the attention span of a golden retriever discovers competitive lumberjack sports streaming on the bar TV... well, allow me to submit Exhibit A. I wandered into Main Street Bar & Eatery for what was supposed to be a "quick bite between quotes." Instead, I became spiritually welded to a barstool while the TV blasted a man in flannel yeeting a chainsaw like it owed him money. And the fried pickles. Good grief. Those things ambushed me. One minute I'm thinking "I'll just have a snack," and the next I'm waist-deep in a basket of fried circles of temptation, crunching my way into oblivion while pretending to "work." My laptop was open, sure, but let's not lie to ourselves -- I got absolutely nothing done. I was too busy yelling advice at professional lumberjacks like I'd trained for this moment my whole life. Tim the Suitcase Regular Rating Breakdown: * Atmosphere: Cozy but with the unpredictable energy of a log-rolling final * Food: Fried pickles that could ruin a man's productivity in the best possible way * Service: Friendly, fast, and kindly nonjudgmental of whatever fever dream I was living in * Entertainment: 10/10 involuntary lumberjack immersion If you're looking for a place where you can lose an entire afternoon under the noble banner of "I swear I'm still working", Main Street Bar & Eatery is the arena. Suitcase Social Club™ stamp of approval: Earned.

    Heirloom Travel Tip:…read moreAvoid the Sports Bar - this is easy to do. Do visit the Heirloom restaurant - Pleasant date night with your wife. Ambience, ambience, ambience and NO tvs. Hannah was our pleasant young server; I asked Hannah to confirm that she is a lifelong resident of Spartanburg, and the pleasing Carolina voice was a moral boost. Earlier we had enjoyed the Kentucky voice of Angel- both girls were angels. Heirloom has a small menu and a small dining room, but extra large hospitality. Because of a buffet lunch, we settled on burgers - No, cannot prepare medium rare. Very possibly menu items have spent a good deal of time in the freezer. Heirloom is on our way to weeks autumn and spring at Hilton Head, so we shall revisit. Merits 5 stars (not for food) for neat dining experience.

We live in Greenville, so this was definitely outside of our usual scope. I love the name of the restaurant, the decor and atmosphere were nicely done. The staff greeted us with a smile and our server...whose name was "Creamer" was knowledgeable and very helpful. We ordered Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and mini hand made biscuits for appetizers which were pretty good. My youngest son and I both ordered Salmon (altered from the what's on the menu) sweet potato puree I ordered the corn and my son ordered asparagus, my husband ordered Gumbo and my oldest son ordered a steak. The presentation of the food was nice and the food was good, I enjoyed my meal but I tasted my husbands gumbo and we both felt that it lacked flavor...for it to be creole gumbo and a side of creamed corn (he and I could have shared that bowl...there was a lot). My oldest son felt that his steak was overpriced. Youngest son enjoyed his too. The food was good but I don't know if I'll be "rushing" to get back as there wasn't anything that just stood out to me.

Our drink orders were taken promptly, and when the drinks arrived, they also took our food order -- smooth and attentive service from start to finish. We started with the buffalo chicken dip with pimento cheese and pita bread, which was outstanding. The pita was perfectly toasted on the outside while staying warm and soft on the inside -- absolutely delicious. For our meals, I ordered the Down South Chicken Sandwich, and my girlfriend chose the Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Both were excellent. We cut them in half so we could try each other's, and honestly, I loved both. The flavors, freshness, and quality really stood out.

You'd be better off grabbing a box of Spinx chicken and a tall boy. As for the atmosphere--just a few neon lights trying (and failing) to distract from the fact that what they call "hot" is barely lukewarm. Update for the owners response: We ordered the Flocking Hot sauce on our sandwich. What we received was essentially the no-heat sauce with a few pepper flakes sprinkled in. We even asked for extra sauce, assuming there had been a mistake in reading the ticket--but the ramekin was the same: no heat, just pepper flakes. It was mild enough that my children dipped their nuggets in it. Rather than becoming defensive, it may be more productive to address and rectify the consistency and accuracy issues being pointed out.
