Cute heart!

We got sat right away. Our server was ok. She seemed very rushed and annoyed in general. She took a while to take our order even though we can clearly see her at the bar texting on her phone. The chef was good. He was funny and engaging and really entertained my daughter since it was her first time at a hibachi place. Generous portions of food. Our server was slow. Had to ask for drinks multiple times. Asked for something else and didn't get it. Had to ask for our check and just waited and waited. Boo!

I'm going to give this a solid 3.4 rating. Good not great (but maybe because it was a Tuesday night) but also fun.. so I'm torn between 3-4 stars... After a very disappointing experience in Spartanburg we ended up here in Greenville for dinner. We booked for 745 reservation but got in close to 815 and served closer to 830. Meal served in this order: - Salad was over saturated with ranch dressing. I should of asked for it on the side. - Soup was very good! I had two as the wife didn't want hers :-) - Rice was prepared in front of us and was served next; Yummy sauce provided. No other sauces were offered. It was good. Does some places put bean sprouts in it? - VERY GOOD.. everyone liked this!!! - Veggies and proteins on the grill - Also very good and tasty! - No Onion volcano :-( (maybe that's old school now?) - Steak served - Yummy! - The appetizer Shrimp served - Was good but would of like this first but OK - Chicken served - GOOD! - Veggies served - Also Good! LEFTOVERS - Yes! :-) Overall I think there was a help shortage so the cook had to make everything quickly at once. Value: EXCELLENT! Needs improvement: - I guess the entertainment portion has been minimized since the last time I visited one of these places - Mixed drinks were watered down; DD had to send hers back - One family in the waiting room not wearing masks.. hello SC you are a hot spot now! - Bathroom needs cleaning more frequently

Came here for the early bird and was thoroughly impressed with the food. Our chef wasn't the best performer but he sure could cook up some good food that was actually seasoned perfectly for once. The rice didn't need any extra soy sauce, the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the shrimp wasn't overcooked. Kudos to the chef. We also got the sushi and it wasn't bad either. It had the right ratio of rice to fish to veggies. Only thing is that the sushi rice wasn't soft enough, but it's not like we paid top dollar for this. For the price of 3.75 per roll for happy hour, the quality was on point.

Food was delicious and cook was fun. I've had more talented hibachi chefs but he at least was entertaining.

We had dinner here last night and it was our first experience and it was an amazing dinner from the…read morefirst cocktail to the last bite. Our Server (Kay) was great. He took great care of us. We enjoyed the beef tartar as a starter. the halibut and the ribs were fantastic and there was also a little side dish that was made on the fly, made by the kitchen that was beautiful with mushrooms, artichokes, and a lot of other things that I cannot remember. It was also delicious. The wine selection is fantastic here. The sommelier (Adam) was very friendly and knowledgeable. When booking a table, definitely make sure you do it correctly as I was not able to get through that experience correctly but even though we didn't have a reservation, there was a very nice spot in the bar area that we enjoyed. It was still very romantic and comfortable. We look forward to seeing "scoundrel" again soon. Thank you all for an amazing evening.

I was excited to try Scoundrel and made a reservation over a month in advance, which seems to be…read morethe norm given its Michelin star recognition. The location on Main Street (in the former Lemongrass space, I believe) is charming and comfortable, though seating can feel a bit tight unless you're lucky enough to get a booth. The atmosphere is lively but intimate. Food-wise, the salad and entrées were very good, and service was attentive throughout the evening. That said, I did leave slightly underwhelmed given the expectations that come with a Michelin-starred restaurant. One small surprise was seeing entrées served with fries as a standard--it felt a bit more casual than anticipated. Overall, it was a nice dining experience and worth trying, especially if you're into Michelin-recognized spots.

Made a noon lunch reservation for Good Friday while in town for a concert that evening. Halls had…read morebeen recommended to me, but had not had the opportunity to dine with them until now. It was a beautiful day, so we chose to sit outside. It is a gorgeous view and the umbrellas provide plenty of shade. Not wanting leftovers, we chose to share the she crab soup and ribeye steak sandwich. Our waitress, Keera, was very bubbly and friendly. She suggested many different add ons and I chose the creamed corn. My only suggestion would be offering a smaller portion of this dish at lunch. It was delicious and I am glad we tried it. The ribeye sandwich and truffle fries were both exceptional. Having had she crab soups at different NC and SC restaurants, I thought theirs was just ok. Not bad, but nothing to make me want to come back just to order that specific item. Mike, the manager, was very visible throughout our whole lunch and stopped by our table to introduce himself. Overall a very positive first dining experience.

Living in Charleston, I'm no stranger to Halls. I'm often there for a special occasion or when…read moresomeone is visiting from out of town. I plan for a big budget meal and am never disappointed. I must say that this experience was totally different, but just as amazing in its own way. My friend was having a work luncheon upstairs and we showed up at the end for her coworkers to meet her baby that we had in tow. We hadn't eaten yet so while they continued on to the next part of their gettogether, we snagged a table at the bar for a quick lunch. We shared the prime rib sliders and a bowl of the French onion soup. The soup was loaded with crispy onion strings on top and tons of caramelized onions down below. The prime rib sliders something I didn't realize I'd be dreaming about later. They were like the tastiest mini cheesesteaks and I could eat a platter of them if given the opportunity. It's great to see Halls from a different perspective and not as only a $500 dinner. This was the least I've ever spent at Halls but I still had an amazing experience. I need to get them on my regular lunch rotation in Charleston so I can try more of the menu.

I was just sitting next to Paul C, the only 1 star review I can see for this place. Boomerest…read moreboomer I ever saw. With two women. Complained about his fries when he had about 3 left on the plate. Still given more fries. Appeared to backfire because he clearly wanted something free so he got one of the people with him to also complain. Apparently the man has never had anything besides Morton's iodized salt in his life. Staff was appropriately apologetic but ol Paul clearly wanted the senior complainer discount so took to yelp while sitting next to me one barstool over. Watched him type it over his shoulder. Meanwhile, my wife and I had 2 of the best cocktails we have ever had and a fantastic meal with bar staff that was attentive and super polite. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to anywhere.

I started with a Straffe Hendrik Quad, which was chefs kiss. It was a yummy treat to start the meal off with and be transported into being in Belgium. Not pictured was the charcuterie board and Brie appetizers that were all split and devoured. What was documented was the roasted duck breast with potatoes and asparagus. The duck was roasted perfectly with the skin, crispy for the texture and seasoned divinely. Yall the potatoes were crispy on the outside, well fluffy like little clouds inside, and had a punch of flavor. The asparagus was rich with a butter and lemon note. If a plate could sing! Zero notes. 10/10. My only draw back was I needed a pillow after the meal. Stuffed was I.

Stopped by Logan's Roadhouse first, and the wait was about 40 minutes, which was fine. While we…read morewere waiting, we decided to drive over and check out Chophouse 47 since we had originally thought about going there. It was very close by, so we figured if Roadhouse called us, we'd just head back. As soon as we walked into Chophouse 47, we were seated. The ambiance is hard to put into words. Very classy and intimate with dim lighting. Not something we were specifically looking for, but it definitely added to the experience. Our waiter, Zsolt, was excellent. He walked us through the menu, explained the specials, described the steaks, and made recommendations, and everything he suggested was on point. We had the porterhouse for two, absolutely amazing!!! Everything we ordered was first-rate!!! Highly recommend Chophouse 47. You'll be glad you did. Oh, last thing to mention, we had the butter cake for dessert. It's huge and so good!!!

My husband and I have been coming to Chophouse for 6-7 years, and until now we've consistently had…read morewonderful experiences. That's why what happened this past Valentine's weekend was so disappointing. We had a 6:30 reservation and arrived at 6:25 to find the entire entryway completely packed. We understand it was Valentine's weekend and expected it to be busy, but this felt beyond busy -- it felt significantly overbooked. After finally checking in, we headed to the bar. The bartender was clearly overwhelmed (through no fault of her own), and it took about 20 minutes just to get a drink. Despite having a reservation, we weren't seated until a little after 7:30 -- over an hour wait. That is simply unheard of when you have a confirmed reservation. The only reason we stayed was because it was Valentine's Day and we knew getting in anywhere else would have been nearly impossible. The wait staff was apologetic and kind, which we genuinely appreciated because it was obvious the situation wasn't their fault. Unfortunately, the overbooking also impacted the kitchen, and our food took a long time to arrive. We didn't leave until 10:30 p.m., which is excessive for a 6:30 reservation. What was most disappointing was that there was no acknowledgment from management beyond verbal apologies from staff -- no small gesture, no complimentary glass of wine, no discount. The evening felt like a case of overbooking at the expense of both customers and employees. We hope lessons are learned from this. We've loved this restaurant for years, but we will not be returning on Valentine's Day again. It definitely left a bad taste in our mouths.

First time eating in downtown Greenville in a long while. I had no idea this place had been there…read morefor 30 years! They have free valet parking right next door. That was nice. We had a reservation so we were seated quickly in a big comfortable group - party of four. The server was a bit quirky. A little "too much" if you know what I mean. The wine list was amazing. So many choices. We shared the Brussels sprouts and a shrimp lettuce wrap. The sprouts were fantastic. The lettuce wrap I do not recommend. The shrimp had no flavor. They should do a spicy Asian sauce on them. I got the chopped salad as a starter. Loved the dried cranberries. Dressing was a little light. Also, very hard to eat with a fork. :-) For the main, I got the filet cooked medium rare. I was eyeing a $100 A2 ribeye but I was someone's guest and did not want to overstep. The filet was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Only $49. Guessing it was 8 ounces. It was served in a Worcestershire jus that was excellent. Also came with mushrooms, asparagus and small potatoes. Loved the dish. Highly recommend!

We checked in inside where it was quite dark and decided to dine outside since the weather was so nice. After browsing the menu I decided on the two recommendations from our server: - Fried Green Tomatoes: Good. Nicely prepared and presented. It tasted good and very balanced. - Crab Cakes: Good. The crab cakes themselves were quite good, but a little more wet than I'm accustomed to. I quite liked the sweet corn maque choux. - Key Lime Pie: Good. More like a tart, it has very mild flavours which I liked. Server was really good. Very friendly, attentive and professional. Overall, a very good meal. I would return if in Greenville again

We were seated on the terrace by the door, which was less than desirable but still good. The chair I was in was awfully uncomfortable, but the benches were suitable. For food, we ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, Earl Grey tea bread, chicken tamales, berry French toast, mushroom bruschetta and fried oysters. The Brussels were good and perfectly cooked. The Earl Grey tea bread was good, but too sweet for me (not a sweets person). My friends ordered the chicken tamales and berry French toast, respectively, and enjoyed their meal. For me, the menu didn't have anything that caught my eye, so I made a meal of the small plates. I love mushrooms, but I felt that the mushrooms in the bruschetta needed to be chopped. Their meaty texture and large pieces made it less than desirable, even though the flavor was good. The oysters were well-cooked and served in an ample portion, but with cocktail sauce rather than aioli. When asked, she brought me the paprika aioli that's on the Brussels sprouts. Still, I think a lemon-and-herb aioli or a lemon-and-horseradish aioli would have been more appropriate for a fresh brightness to cut through the breading. It was almost a good meal, but oftentimes the devil is in the details.
