    Excellent thanksgiving dinner!!! Abundant portions family style ! Great service from Genesis, beautiful ambience, nice bar area! The desserts were just way too small which was a bit of disappointment when compared to the entrees. The coffee was bold and strong BEST COFFEE EVER!!!! Overall fantastic restaurant to dine in!!!

    Scallops over pasta

    We had a fabulous dinner here starting with a non-alcoholic Guava Basil Cooler. The scallops over pasta, grouper, and tuna were all excellent. Absolutely loved the curry with the tuna. Big fan of the whiskey cake too!

    Side if mashed potatoes.

    I don't give out five starts often but... My husband and I celebrated 45 years of marriage yesterday and I suggested we try Patterson Kitchen & Bar. FROM THE TIME WE WALKED JN THE DOOR...it was EXCELLENT!! We were warmly greeted by the staff and they wished us a Happy Anniversary throughout the night as it ALL of them knew it was our anniversary. The decor and ambiance were EVERYTHING...a whole yummy vibe!! I ordered the Grouper, which was my first time ever ordering or tasting and it was DELICIOUS!!! It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband ordered the pork chop which he really enjoyed! And to top everything off, our server bought us a chocolate dessert for our anniversary. My son suggested this spot to us earlier this year and I'm glad we finally got the chance to check it out. We will definitely be back! Oh! They also have a private dining room called The Wine Room that can seat up to 20 people!! How great is that?? Make sure you check them out! They take reservations!!

    Don't even question going here - just go! We are from Dallas and will be back when we are in town. Ambiance - high ceilings and architectural elements very pleasing to the eye. Noise is manageable and seating is creative with booths, high tops, and cooking counter views. Food - we had beet salad, burata salad, tuna, duck. All unique takes on each plate and was especially surprised with the tuna - curry with roasted vegetables and toasted chickpeas was delightful to the eye and pallet. Service was on point - shout out for Jesus who was one of the best waiters we have ever had. Just exceptional!!

    Oysters (so good!) and local peaches (burrata app)

    Great new upscale spot on the Eastside! The hotel hartness where it's located is very chic and beautiful. Definitely a great date night place. We enjoyed some great cocktails at the bar before being seated for dinner. The wine list was also extensive and they had some good craft beer options too. We really loved the burrata - so bright and fresh tasting. Also loved the oysters and the scallops. Awesome Service, as well. Definitely will be back.

    Pork chop
    Ricardo P.

    We came here for anniversary dinner recently. Wife and I really enjoyed the service here. The ambiance was nice: dimly lit giving it a romantic feel. The pork chop I had was outstanding, maybe the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying at the Hotel Hartness.

    So this is off the beaten path and not downtown Best bet is put the address in your GPS and follow. There is supposedly valet parking but we did not notice..and we were hoping there would be due to a cold night...anyway... so we parked in the hotel lot and walked to the hotel ( this building we guessed correctly).. then through the hotel across a courtyard to the restaurant. So now ...if you are dining with others who have difficulty walking.. this may be an issue. Once we arrived we we were seated to the left of kitchen. There is a long both and they broke it up into 4 two top tables... This is nice for the restaurant but for the 4 tables we felt like we were all eating together separated by 6 inches on either side. This is not great.. there is no private conversation going to be had. Beware of this situation. Anyways... We had a great espresso martini and some well suggested wine. The staff is very attentive and works as a team..water is constantly refilled. Lol Our pear salad was delicious and one is plenty to share between two people We both ordered the same entree ... The tuna dish ..this was delicious with a Mediterranean spice and root vegetables. It is large and we each took 1/2 of it home. Dessert we selected the Earl grey cheesecake....it was good not great... especially for the price . if you are looking for a eclectic upscale night out on the town and aware that this may cost a little bit more money than your average place.... You should check this place out. We would actually like to go back during the spring or summer to check out the sunset and possibly eat outdoors. I would suggest reservations and hopefully you can get a table more private than what we had.

    Cocktails - Martini and Cosmo
    Michael M.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Patterson Kitchen and Bar. Food was fantastic. Just a few missteps with service were the only things keeping me from giving the restaurant 5 stars. Starting with the cocktails... they were very good. A little slow to be served (we saw them ready, sitting at the bar, for several minutes before our server picked them up), but the wait was worth it. I was a little disappointed to see that the blue cheese olives that I asked for were for an additional charge - not because that is unreasonable, but because I got two with my first martini but only one with my second. A little inconsistency like that isn't a big deal with a free garnish, but if you are paying for it, I would think that the quantities would be consistent. Fortunately, the drinks were consistent between the first and second - consistently excellent! The food was incredible across the board. We started with the Farm Vegetables - I haven't had anything quite like it. First, it was huge - large even for sharing between two people. It was also a beautiful dish and had such a variety of tastes and textures. There were several colors of cauliflower, broccolini, radishes, tomatoes, beets, carrots, green beans, an unidentified leafy green, almonds and bits of soft cheese, all nestled on a bed of pumpernickel crumbs. The vegetables were a mix of raw, lightly cooked, and pickled and the breadcrumbs added a lot of interest. Just a terrific dish! Following this, I had the Bone-in Duroc pork chop and Amy had the rare, seared tuna. Both were very good. Amy said the tuna was some of the best she'd ever had and loved the curry sauce that came with it. My pork could have been cooked a hair less, but it was still juicy and had a very flavorful charred crust. The mix of vegetables that came with the pork was a great accompaniment. Finishing the meal, we had the banana pudding. It didn't look like any banana pudding I've ever had, but had all the flavors - though better! Really a great dessert! As far as service goes, it was a bit slow. I really don't like a meal where you are rushed between courses, but I think the gap between our appetizer plates being picked up and the main courses arriving was around half an hour - which seemed just a bit much, especially considering that by that time the restaurant was only about half full. We also had to request our second round of drinks, instead of having it suggested. While our server was very personable and friendly, it just seemed like not quite the level of service you would expect from a fine dining restaurant. The low point of the evening, however, came after we left the restaurant. We had used the valet and when we went to get our car, we saw that it was pulled around front, but there was no valet in sight. The doors were locked and we had no key, so we waited around about five minutes or so, thinking the valet would reappear. Finally, I went back to the restaurant and was told that the valet left earlier and had left the keys there at the restaurant's front desk. So we finally got our keys. But the worst part is that, right before leaving the restaurant the first time, I asked the hostess if there was a charge for the valet parking - she told me "No", that it was complimentary. That would seem to have been a perfect time to tell me about the valet leaving and that they had our keys, but no. It was a very strange experience to close out a really terrific meal. We'll definitely be back, but really hope that they tighten up a few things on the service side so that this place can really be the five-star restaurant that it is so close to being.

    Ahi Tuna

    What a hidden gem. The food, the wait staff and overall ambiance were stellar. Kat the sever made us feel as special as their executive chefs talent. To start we had the burrata which had eggplant and a basil reduction, so good. I had the coconut curry Ahi Tuna for an entree was so unique and well balanced. My mom had the pork tenderloin with a strawberry pico which was also delicious. It was also wine Wednesday which meant 15% off on all bottles (we had the prisoner which is our old faithful). We were also celebrating my birthday and they brought out not 1 but 2 dessert for us (chocolate tart & key lime pie shots). Would 100% come back here!

    Duck Cavatelli
    Haley H.

    My favorite thing about this place is the atmosphere! The vibes are great, especially when the sun is setting, since the walls are giant windows. I've been here twice, and both times it was extremely lively and delicious. I got the Duck Cavatelli and it did not disappoint. The service was a little bit slow, but understandable for a new place. At the end of the meal, they give everyone a limoncello shot for digestion. I'll definitely be back soon!

    We found this place while researching restaurants to go to while visiting Greenville. It came…read morehighly recommended on yelp and it just sounded like a classic southern spot. We couldn't be more impressed with this establishment. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the owner came by and introduced himself to all the tables and checked in with us. We started off with a crabcake and bang bang shrimp to share and the crabcake was absolutely delicious. Then we had our salads which were a huge portion for a side salad and were also fantastic. . For meals, we did the fried stuffed chicken and it was so amazing along with the mac & cheese brussels sprouts. The marinated beef tips were also delicious. It's such a cute and cozy restaurant inside and out on the patio. A place where you can come for dinner or you can also sit at the bar! we wish we were local so that we could go back again, but it just means we have to book another trip to Greenville!

We started with a trio of…read moreappetizers -- the blue crab nachos, the fried green tomatoes (a first for my coworker visiting from Wisconsin), and the spinach dip special. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect introduction to Southern comfort with a twist. For dinner, my coworker ordered the seafood trio with double blackened scallops and fried catfish, paired with asparagus and risotto. Everything was cooked beautifully and full of bold flavor. I had the mango salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and it was outstanding -- tender, bright, and perfectly balanced. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Skye, who was incredibly patient as we explored the menu. She walked us through each appetizer and entrée, offered thoughtful recommendations, and helped my Wisconsin coworker dive into Southern cuisine with confidence. Her warmth and knowledge made the whole experience even better. Sassafras delivered on food, service, and Southern hospitality.
