It's been a while, but they are still fantastic! We ate outside on a beautiful Saturday morning for brunch. Our server Zavier was awesome as was everything we ordered. No complaints at all and we'll definitely be back. Can't go wrong at Nose Dive!
Ambiance great, service predictable, cocktail middle of the road, food: a notch below mediocre We ordered bourbon basil smash cocktail, roast vegetable bowl with tofu and a fried egg added on and blackened grouper hoagie sandwich with fries. Right from the way it looked to the way it tasted, there was consistent lackluster vibe. The vegetable bowl was an afterthought of a dish, very unsure brussel sprouts thrown together with a handful of carrot slivers, some odd bits of grains and a very forlorn handful of dry tofu. The fried egg on the top made it edible and I was glad that I asked for it. The crunchy bits of garlic on the side seemed like a fear of commitment. An entry that is named roasted garlic vegetable bowl should claim it loud and proud in every bite. Grouper hoagie... let us just say at that the fries on the side were the highlight of this dish. Very underwhelming experience saved by the fact that our seating was very conducive to conversation, round tables for six, what a brilliant set up and lighting and noise level just enough to enjoy the company. I might just bring take out here to enjoy the ambiance!
Came here for Sunday brunch, wasn't too crowded or loud. Didn't make a reservation but luckily they had plenty of tables available (for a party of 4). There was a $15(ish)/ person grits bar where you can go and get a bowl of grits from a buffet line setup with a large variety of veggie, cheese, and protein toppings! It was a huge hit with the group I was with. I ordered the avocado toast, it was magnificent. The toast was slightly crispy on the outside then soft & fluffy on the inside. It came sliced in four sections making it great for sharing. We also got a cranberry mimosa carafe ($23ish) and to my surprise it wasn't completely saturated with juice!! The champagne to cranberry ratio was perfect. They say you get what you pay for, but here, you get substantially more. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Love the fun sign just inside with the nose in the burger. Shows the place's fun vibe with a hip edge. Outdoor seating or indoor dining... Matters not if it's nice weather they have the large windows open to let in the fresh air. 85% of the menu is either Gluten-Free or Gluten-Friendly and they have a dedicated fryer, which was a plus. Xavier was an amazing server and didn't scoff at our mods. The food was solid. When the devilled eggs are at the bottom of your ordered likes, then I'd say you're doing pretty A-okay! The White Cheddar Fritters were fantastic! They would call them Cheddar T-Bombs because they had an explosion of delicious cheesey goodness flowing from the middle of a perfectly round and tender fritter. The presentation was great with a dollop of pesto aoli and a shred of Parm with finely shredded basil. Each little ball of ooey gooey deliciousness was on a smear of Tomato Jam. The Fried Chicken sandwich had us happy we opted to try it as it was hanging off the bun and perfectly good with a crunchy exterior and plump inside. We didn't care for the sweet-ish Alabama White, so glad we ordered off-side. The fries were plentiful. The NoseDive Mac & Cheese was a great thing to split. Love that you can order as is or add in a protein of you want to make it your meal. The four cheeses blended nicely together and allowed for a good cheese-pull when digging in. Needless to say our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we have leftovers! Will definitely recommend and will return if in Greenville again!
Nose Dive was a great restaurant in the heart of downtown with a great gluten-free menu. The atmosphere was super fun and perfect for brunch after the Saturday farmers market ends at noon. We ordered the GF fried green tomatoes which were great. They're sliced thinner than I'm used to, but the sauces made up for it. We also split the GF fish and chips which we would not get again. The fish was tough and rubbery and the breading was a cornmeal instead of a traditional batter. And the lunch portion was a little small. Next time I would definitely get the grits bar which is offered for Saturday and Sunday brunch. The service was great. I'm so thankful they had so many GF options.
We came here today for brunch, and it was very good. We were able to make reservations, so that was a big plus for me. I hate waiting for a table. Our waitress, Kierra, was very attentive. I thought she went way out of her way to make things enjoyable for us. I had grilled chicken and fries. It was very tasty and not over cooked. My husband got the blackened grouper fish sandwich. He really enjoyed it also. We had bloody Mary's Mimosas, and my usual Bacardi and Coke. The food came out pretty quick, and we had zero complaints about anything. I hope to get back to Greenville soon to go back again!
We really like this restaurant on Main Street in Greenville. The food is excellent, cooked perfectly and sitting outside people watching is the best way to spend a day. Enjoy a glass of wine, a good meal, and create wonderful memories.
In town for work and best I can offer is this place is just ok. Everything about here needs a lift. Service was scattered. Food was ok but not great. Drink had to be sent back as it arrived with bits floating in it from whatever the bartender had last made in the shaker. We sat outside cause inside seating, despite lots of empty tables, was a 15 min wait. This time of year it wasn't too hot to be outside for dinner but soon it will be very hard to be outside as the temps rise. Located next to the Westin might make it any easy place for some folks to check out but I would suggest people maybe walk a little to find a better meal in downtown.
Wanted to try out this nice looking restaurant attached to a hotel on main street near all the other great dining. The atmosphere is more dim and has a finer dining feel to it. We were sat easily although our waiter seemed sidetracked or not focused on our table really. We were constantly waiting on things. Our drinks took a while and some never came at all so we said never mind. Our entrees were the worst part, I ordered Mac n cheese as I love it. Was told it was large, it was definitely more like a side. Not much to it, nothing to make it stand out as an entree, a big let down and was still left hungry. Unfortunately my friends steak came out rare instead of well. Huge difference there for a chef ran kitchen.... His replacement took so long we got it to go. Needle to say a very awkward dining experience, left us not wanting to return. This place doesn't seem to live up to its fancy attire, as its kitchen is a mess and service not the best.
Nose Dive was a little of a let down. I came here for Sunday brunch looking forward to some yummy food and drinks. I ordered the steak and eggs both cooked medium. It also came with potatoes. The meal was just ok.... I didn't love it as much as I hoped. I ordered a pineapple mimosa carafe and I was disappointed in it as well. Loved the $12 price but not the flavor. Very flat. I also had some hazy ipa on draft and I didn't enjoy it much either. The bartender was cool and very prompt in assisting me. I have no complaints on the service. The hostess girls also were friendly upon arrival. This seems to be a very popular, causal downtown spot. The inside has a table top seating and there is also a spacious patio out front. I wouldn't rule out coming here again as it seems to definitely have potential.
Came here with some local friends and had a great time. The breakfast hash was particularly good. The service was kind of slow, but maybe it was just an off day. It was very cool that they could open the windows right into the street.
Sunday brunch can be the best time with friends, family and a way to savor local flavors. Never had we been to Nose Dive for brunch... our dinner long time ago with friends was wonderful.. We looked at the brunch menu and all it took was the grits bar to stop us Cold In Our Tracks Grits doesn't cover it Adulah creamy stone grits Fresh and buttery biscuits Weekly the chef picks the toppings for the bar and this week we had such amazing toppings... see video for the bar and its many wonders.. Simms was our server and she topped off drinks, took our plates when empty... Quiet even though the place was packed.. downtown vibe and amazing people and food... You don't want to miss this brunch..... Did I say $4 mimosas?!?
Great vibes and people watching on Main Street. Aperol spritz was 10 out of 10. Amazing service by Xavier.
Our anniversary dinner was with Chamber of Commerce weather, very pleasant, and al fresco dining at Nose Dive. We had made reservations and specifically requested an outdoor table on the side of the restaurant as opposed to the front, main sidewalk. We had great seats for people watching on a Friday, just as the workday was ending and foot traffic was steady. This was great for sharing a nice bottle of wine and appetizers. Our waitress, Lilly, was very attentive and did a great job taking care of us. Even with the beautiful weather, we still didn't want to eat too heavy and we each got the spinach strawberry salad with red onions, goat cheese, crispy prosciutto bites and strawberry vinaigrette with the added protein of blackened grouper. It was as delicious as the picture looks. I loved the sweet and salty contrast in the salad from the goat cheese and prosciutto and offset by the strawberries. The grouper addition was cooked excellently and added just the right balance to the dish. A few months ago we had just a couple of drinks at an outside table here and decided to redo it for a longer drinks, appetizers and dinner, and we were not disappointed in any way. I highly recommend this if you are fortunate enough to get good weather! Edit: Almost every dish offered has a gluten free option available read more

The staff was super dope and my server, Raquel, remembered my name after I introduced myself. Nice callback. The Philly rolls had a cold spot in one, but hey, it happens. The mac and cheese? I reached for the table salt. I rarely reach for the table salt at a restaurant. Ehhh... The Peaches & Cream Crème Brûlée had too much makeup and was late to the party. The raspberry topping and wilted apple(?) chip were unnecessary, and it was missing that fresh crème brûlée crack. I did dig the peach preserves hiding underneath--like a Dannon Fruit on the Bottom surprise. Honestly, I'd rework the whole thing as a peach flan. The staff absolutely made the experience. I just wish the food slapped like the staff. read more
We dropped in on a Saturday morning and had a bit of a wait due to brunch and the farmer's market out front but gave us time to walk around Greenville. We liked our server and the food was delicious. I loved the grilled cheese and others the chicken and waffles and other selections. Nice dining room and patio seating. read more

Great southern food. We came for the first time after the farmers market. We had Bloody Mary, skillet breakfast and the waffle and chicken, and a side of grits. Everything was delicious. One of the best waffle and chicken. The waffle nicely crispy and texture accompany with well seasoned chicken. The Carolina hot was good, but the original was tastier. The service was great. We shared the chicken and waffle with side of grits and they split both for sharing. read more

Another great time at the Nose Dive. Ribeye - good pinot sauce and taters. Beans boring - but you can sub them. Appetizers came fast. Good Brussel sprouts . Decent Caesar salad. Good service. All in all - always solid here. read more
Good night out!! This was right next to our hotel and we wanted something simple and delicious. We split the Mediterranean salad--I really liked the mint and orzo--not normally in a salad. We shared entrees, too. I got the chicken sandwich with hot sauce on the side and sweet potato fries--next time I would definitely just have the sauce right on the sandwich--so good!! Spicy and sweet! The sweet potato fries were a real hit, too! My husband ordered the fish and chips--we weren't crazy about the regular fries--they weren't bad, but we would have preferred them a bit crisper. The fish, though, was fantastic!! A lot of places neglect the breading on fish and just sort of fry it, just to fry it. This fish, though, was super flavorful--the coating reminded me of the flavor of the best gas station fried chicken--just the right amounts of salt, pepper--maybe celery salt? The fish itself was soft and flaky, really great! We sat by the open air windows and loved getting to watch the crowds walk by while enjoying the breeze. Finally, our server, Angelica, was really fantastic--she definitely made this a five star experience. She had a bunch of tables, and I noticed that lots of customers were asking for all sorts of substitutions, add-ons, etc, but she handled every single person with such grace and friendliness--she was awesome!! Overall, a really enjoyable evening. read more

This place is always looking booked and busy! We stopped by for a late lunch. The turkey melt was amazing! The pretzels were a great choice for an appetizer. The roast beef dip was delicious and i loved the ability to dip it in a sauce. The Mac and cheese was dry, not cheesy and not worth it. They also took long to get our order out. But pretty good otherwise! The bathrooms are also very far away, but i think it's because it's connected to a hotel. Nothing too special! read more

We picked this spot for brunch because it has a dog friendly patio and a dog menu! The staff were very accommodating and friendly with our dog and got him a bowl of water to go with his chicken. For the humans, we tried the pretzels and cheese, macaroni with bbq chicken, and chicken and waffle. Dare I say the pretzels and cheese were the best I've ever had - and I've had a lot. Great flavor and wasn't just a plain beer cheese. Pretzels were fluffy and delicious. For the meals, the servings were generous so you could probably split one app and one entree if you're not starving. The chicken and waffles was cooked well but I wasn't the biggest fan of the waffle. Overall, friendly service, dog friendly, fabulous pretzels, and a nice patio area. If we go back to Greenville I'd try nose dive again for dinner. read more

The entire staff is Jam up! Our server Erin was absolutely amazing! Warm southern personality full of great suggestions! The chicken and waffles were absolutely insane so good! The chicken was absolutely perfect juicy and crisp! The waffle was beyond amazing! Just an amazing combo! My husband had the fish and chips which seems to be a customer favorite, and he said it didn't disappoint! So much so, he didn't want to share even a bite! read more

Dive in to some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G cuisine at the Nose Dive! Our server Keisha was the BEST. The food freshness, quality , and flavor was outstanding. Follow your nostrils to this gem on Main in beautiful Greenville. You're in for treat! read more
Spot on a fabulous dinner and excellent waiter (Brian)! We were completely unfamiliar with where we should eat while visiting Greenville, and a local suggested Nose Dive to us. Dang - was he right!! We had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and entrees were the fish & chips and the new (and best ever) roast beef sandwich. The roast beef was honestly like shirt ribs on a toasted hoagie with amazing gravy for dripping. Cocktails were also sooo good! Brian - thank you for being an absolutely superior waiter!! read more

What is the limit of people they can sit at per table and would it be possible to fit 12 people in the same area at least?
It would be tight, but they could probably accommodate you if you have a reservation.
