Wow! We just happened to arrive at 4:30 when they opened, which was a huge strike of luck! The line…read morewas out the door for the rest of the time we were there, which I understand is normal. I promise you, it's worth the wait! We got the mince and veggie pie and the fish and chips, in both were absolutely fantastic. The breading on the fish was delicious and light, and the chips were perfectly cooked and nice and crispy. They definitely tasted fresh, not frozen. The pie was fantastic as well. The pastry was flaky and light, and there was just the right amount of fillings. The gravy they served with it was the perfect compliment, and even tasted good with the chips. I am not a fan of peas, but the mushy peas were excellent and not at all what I expected. We couldn't decide which dessert to get, so we got both. They were both delicious and on different sides of the spectrum. The sticky toffee pudding was decadent with a considerable depth of flavor. It came out warm and swimming in the toffee sauce. It was very rich. Conversely, the Eton Mess was light and refreshing, with a good balance between the cream, strawberries, and meringue. The only downfalls were the limited menu and that everyone's food came out at different times (even the desserts), which really extended the amount of time it took to have dinner. That being said, I can forgive the limited menu considering everything on it was phenomenal. If I had had to wait, that would probably have been a big drawback.

We had an assortment of Curry pie and Fish and Chips. Fish was nicely battered. Curry pie was tasty. Water bottles are on every table so you can help yourself.

This is a nice event space, but improvements are needed. The layout is nice downstairs with an…read moreindoor air conditioned area, a patio, and then a grassy space down the steps. With the Edison bulbs strung overhead, a wedding here would be very nice but be sure to ask about how long and how loud you can play music. There are clear garage doors that separate the indoor space from the covered patio area. They can't be opened without a city permit, so if you want to use them you'll need to look into this. The bathrooms are large. There is no refrigerator, but there is what I think was a warming cart, a sink, shelves, and a rolling cart in the kitchen area. Parking is tight. When we arrived, the tables inside and out as well as the chairs were covered with pollen. They don't provide any cleaning supplies so we had to get our own and do the cleaning ourselves. When we viewed the property the day before, I thought for sure everything would have been cleaned as part of the price. Wrong! As we were cleaning the chairs they also had grease buildup so they hadn't been cleaned/sanitized in a while. We actually needed more tables but didn't find out until later that there were plenty of them in the upstairs area. The worst part of the evening was the person on duty. He was visibly unhappy to be there and unfriendly. He would only look at us but not speak. When my husband asked about trash bags (you might want to bring those, too) he threw a couple of them his way. As we were cleaning up, I apologized for the delay and he didn't even look at me. And then as we were leaving and I asked if we had gotten everything, he nodded and slammed the gate in our face. We were dumbfounded. I hope the owners realize this doesn't make for good business. I don't like leaving mediocre reviews unless they are deserved, and this one was.

WOW. I had already known about Zen from attending a couple of events here before, but was really…read moreblown away by how they are equipped to put on any size of event with as little hassle as possible. The space is an impressive mix of fresh, modern, and open concept. My favorite part is the beautiful garden outside with French doors that open out to a deck. Super lush and private - you would never know you were right on Main Street! The foyer showcases a vaulted and curved ceiling that is softly painted with the blue sky and clouds and the entire space has expensive finishes. Beautiful artwork created by the owner himself adorns the walls of one section, while the other section boasts a second-floor and a stunning private VIP suite! Zen has most, if not all, of the audio/visual equipment needed to put on a high-end production - making everyone's job easy. The staff at Zen are the best of the best and were on TOP of cleaning up plates and cups, etc. so that nothing ever looked messy. Can't wait to attend another event here! The owner Jeff is flexible and always super accommodating and makes it his mission to make each event as special as he can. Can't say enough about this special place - Highly recommend!

David and team brought this connection together! This venue is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment you walk towards the door, you see at the corner of the building, the unassuming yet illuminating Zen sign presence. The foyer greets with such high beautiful ceilings (and walls) with the artistic lighting. There are two other space to enter. If you continue straight, you enter a much larger area that has on its walls, wonderfully large paintings of flowers evoking both energy yet calmness. I discovered that Jeff, the owner had painted the walls and can see the nice brushstroke patterns along with the majority of the flower paintings. We were for the most part in this area which is shaped like a gigantic "L" and you would go further in and to the bottom foot area find a large bar awaiting. There was also a table of desserts and a musician. There were the hors d'oeuvre standing tables yet with nice high seats along with the comfy chairs. We had our networking, food, drinks, and murder mystery here. I've been to Zen many times in the past for several different non-profit/charity events and always so well done. This room depending on the size of attendees is an ideal spot for these types of reception/activities. If you had gone over to the right from the foyer, you would enter a huge space that has on the complete opposite side some large screen that projector is displaying and lighting. There are tables with seats and this brings back memories of when the company I worked for held their holiday parties here and this would also double up as a dance floor! There's another bar right underneath the staircase, and if you walk up the stairs, not only do you have a great view of this room (and if you were trying to search for someone dancing, walk up the stairs and gently look for your man) it also has a private suite that can act as the bridal room since such great furniture, a kitchen and bathroom complete with shower (so if you start getting cold feet, you can turn the heat on your feet)! Not only does Zen have these different space and levels, they even have an exterior space, their own zen garden. I've never noticed it before since other times I've been here, it would be dark and couldn't see OR since it was December, they had tents with heaters. There are many different options to use this beautiful place and Jeff is extremely down-to-earth and inviting. Besides hosting such fancy events, he also has hosted various dance parties. If you or the organization/company/group you identify with have a need for up to 350 people, this would be ideal!

This venue does a lot of false advertising on their website. Our function was planned from a…read moredistance and we could not see this venue in person. We were trying to plan a beautiful wedding for a military couple stationed in Japan. His family is from Greenville area. There were to be between 100-120 guest. The venue manager said the venue would hold 150 easily with no issues, as stated on the website. This is completely incorrect. The venue only has 10 sixty inch round tables for guests to be seated at and those tables only hold 8 comfortably. It seemed once they had a deposit then things started to change. The venue only had 50 chairs and we would have to rent an additional 60 as an extra charge. The entire function was cramped. We had 111 people confirmed and 6 no showed. So with 111 confirmed we had to have an 11th table that they did not have. They charged us to rent that extra table and chairs too. The venue was too small and should change their website. Another mis-truth on the website is that you have several choices of vendors. This is not true either, we were told that the caterer Southern way has exclusivity. They were more expensive than others we got menus from, so that was disappointing. The manager, Steve was rude and condescending at most times. Communication was difficult. On the day of set up, he used our muscle to help put together an Arbor that we had to pay $150 to rent for 30 mins. That's unbelievable to me that he has no employees to help him and that it wasn't included in the venue since it was in their photos online. It seemed there was an extra charge for many things, such as tablecloths. We were also charged for a security guard that was never there. At the end of the function, we had to tear it down and take the trash to the dumpster a block away. Really? Why would you rent a place that is this disorganized and includes nothing. It was a HUGE disappointment! Spend your money elsewhere. Ask lots of questions before you sign a contract. I believe this military couple was taken advantage of at contract signing because of the lies they were told. The Upper Room Greenville should be ashamed of themselves.

The venue was perfect in terms of its layout and space. An ideal place that ensures coziness of everyone. The layout consists of a main hall with a deck and another space for the reception. The deck was a perfect idea for the bride to walk down the stairs and into the aisle. The main hall was small, but it was enough to fit about 150 people with room for other stuff. The side room was turned into the reception with arranged tables. I loved the high ceilings and the bricked and stained decors. It was a warehouse feel indeed, but a newly renovated one. The bathroom locations were convenient and so was accessibility in the entire venue. It is beautiful and perfect not just for weddings, but any special occasion.
