Another incredible meal. With impeccable service to boot! Highlights were japponais drink, tuna carpaccio, deviled blue crab, duroc ribs, and dirty rotten scoundrel burger. Desserts were awesome as well. Definitely worth a visit!!!! read more

We went to Scoundrel to celebrate my husband's Professor Emeritus award. The atmosphere was intriguing. However, tables were too close to have a private conversation also very dark which we don't mind. Right off the bat they tried to pushed their tomahawk beef thing, the most expensive thing on the menu. I don't/can't eat beef and once the waiter found that out, service wasn't very good. I had the Scottish salmon and it was excellent and my husband had the oysters and said they were good. The reason for the 3 and not 4 is the same as someone else mentioned. Our server vanished when it came time to refill water glasses, see if food was prepared to our liking, leave and pick up check. Ridiculous! Food was great, service sucked!! Won't go back! read more

Food was excellent! Three of us enjoyed sharing delicious appetizers of Caesar's salad, crab, Duck Liver mousse was outstanding! Such a surprise as I have never had it. A beautiful sea bass with a crisp outside, and various desserts(croissant was my favorite) It was a wonderfully relaxed evening sharing food and wine. It was my birthday celebration. Service was outstanding with waiter giving perfect wine suggestions for various foods. The atmosphere was inviting and a beautiful feeling as we entered the restaurant at 5pm. We enjoyed hearing each other talk and did not compete with loud music or noisy patrons. We saw the bar area which looked inviting as well. I look forward to next time. read more

Crab dip was out of this world. Light, lemon and perfect. Tasted like the ocean. Steak frittes were perfect and service outstanding

Fabulous for any occasion. The frites are perfectly cooked. The happy hour menu is a great way to dip your toe in. I'm sure you will come back for more. The beef tartare I now incredibly close yo the top of my "best thing I ever ate" list for appetizers. read more

Had dinner last night and ordered the steak frites with escargot appy. The wine, fries and escargot were good, but the steak was very tough and not that flavorful. It was an extremely pricey meal for the poor quality of meat I received. With so many great restaurants in Greenville, I don't feel the need to ever go back. read more

Great food and excellent service. My new favorite restaurant in Greenville. The Scoundrel burger is fantastic. Go for happy hour and get the little Scoundrel. It comes with duck fat fries and your choice of a beer or wine. My wife had the pasta appetizer and she said it was the most flavorful pasta dish she had ever had. read more

Tiny Tini Tuesday has my heart. Small martinis, an order of French fries, and a burger at the bar. This place has a great atmosphere, kind staff, and a killer menu. Though it is primarily upscale and pricey, there are a few good options for a lighter night out like the Cesar salad and burger read more

Great Restaurant- But Take Issue Scoundrel has done an amazing job and effort of being GVL's premiere French restaurant, so where does the Russian caviar on the menu fit in? Not being political but they should consider parking this item, besides I did thought their is a ban on importing Russian goods I asked the bartender and he gleefully told me it comes smuggled though the area of Alaska that's next to Russia and there's a place in Charleston that they get it through.. Don't get me wrong, great restaurant but bad idea.... read more

Best food in Greenville, such a hidden gem. Service is top notch and cocktails / wine menu is so great. Highly recommend!

One of the best preparations of bone marrow and striped bass I've ever had. Place has a bistro vibe. Service was a bit off but the food made up for it. If in town, this place is a must. read more

Fantastic ambiance! The renovation of this space was done well. I absolutely love the 60s-70s French nudie theme restroom. My second favorite restroom in Gvl. Excellent cocktail choices and great variety of wine. Though, we did not eat due to the lack of vegetarian options we did have did have a great time and will return. read more

Vive la Scoundrel! 10 stars easy. Prices were high, but was worth every cent. We ordered almost everything on the menu, and we loved everything. We got beef tartare, mousse patay, T hawk steak, Fish, bread/butter with truffles (amazing), escargot, some noodle appetizer, and three deserts (crème brulee!!!!)... there was one more dish I can't remember. I don't write many reviews but I had to login and put a note on this one! Well done Scoundrel, well done. read more

Best meal I've had in Greenville! We loved everything about this place. From the Apps to the deserts, Scoundrel's is special! read more

We had a early booking because we went after a matinee show at the Peace Center. Ambiance was really nice. Lighting was appropriate with hanging curtains to dampen noise levels. The Tomahawk Ribeye Works was delicious. Service was attentive but not overbearing. We enjoyed our evening. read more

We loved EVERYTHING about this restaurant!!! The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was great. Cannot wait to return! The next time, I may just sit at the bar. Scoundrel has a wonderful happy hour. read more

Went for a business dinner with a couple of colleagues from out of town. Our first time to Scoundrel. We had the beef tartar and it was prepared table side by Tyler our server. I had the spiced chicken chassuer & it was fantastic. My colleges had the ribeye with an poive they raised about it. Finished with cronut. So excellent. We all agreed: Tyler was one of the best servers we've ever had. He was extremely familiar with the menu, described the items in such a detailed, reverent manner his respect for the restaurant & the diners was obvious. Hands down one of the best meals i(we've) had in a very long time. & favorite for best restaurant in the upstate. Going back very soon. read more

Austin did a great job of explaining and suggesting the items on the menu. He made sure that our Alphagirl had a meal that would not cause any unwanted reactions. I had the tuna appetizer which was phenomenal although I would have really liked a Jerusalem Artichoke for each bite. Hubby had the hamburger that tasted like a steak with a hamburger texture. BD girl had the Steak frites which must have been good because she enjoyed it. Austin brought her a piece of BD cake. Fun evening! read more

Amazing food, simple and elegant. Fantastic service and atmosphere. We'll Definitely be back

Amazing food. Fantastic service at the bar. Our bartender Lauren made superb drinks.

Service was amazing! The server really knew the menu and made great suggestions. Food was excellent! We had the tomahawk steak and it was cooked to perfection. Best was the chocolate layer cake! read more

Food and service was great!! Highly recommend!! Definitely will go back. Thanks for a good evening. read more

Just very pricey, portions minimal & the appearance of a stocked bar; no blue cheese olives "just the basics" said bartender. Won't be back.. read more

I was so excited when I saw this restaurant come into town. It is delicious! The fries are to die for! We had good service. The restaurant is very nice. I did take away stars due to the bathroom decor. It is all naked women. It's extremely graphic and inappropriate. I would not feel comfortable for my boyfriend/husband to go into a bathroom that's just plastered with photos of naked women. It's unnecessary. I cannot imagine if I had a child and knew they saw that. Please change the bathroom decor and you'll be a perfect restaurant for all to visit. Please take this seriously owners, I'm not the only one that feels this way. read more

What a treat! Welcomed with a smile and quickly transported to a French bistro in our minds. Trey, our server, was an absolute delight. He was knowledgeable and made excellent suggestions. We started with apéritifs. The Dorian Gray was dreamy. We then opened dinner with a baguette (crispy outside, warm and fluffy inside) served with sweet corn butter and a perfect Caesar salad. Loved the fine texture and spiciness of the breadcrumbs. For entrees we shared the branzino for 2 (Julia Childs would have approved), the duck, and the summer squash. I dreamed about the fish and squash last night. Not gonna lie. Such harmony in the flavors and textures. Finished with chef's grandmother's chocolate cake and felt like I knew her with the first bite. We also had the salted cantaloupe sorbet and honest to goodness, it felt like a summer garden in my mouth. It ended the night perfectly with my last sips of Bordeaux Blanc. The detail in the serving pieces were a highlight for me; inviting me in like i was in someone's home. Oh, and the storied art! I wanna know more about Scoundrel. Maybe invite him to join us next time; ) Can't wait to go back. The Scoundrel team 100% got it right. read more

We went to Scoundrel on Friday. We did like the atmosphere; the service was great. The dishware and the silverware were super nice and certainly special to see in a restaurant. The beef tartar was fabulous. We shared the Branzino fish for two and had the squash as the side dish. It was delicious; well seasoned, maybe a little bit too creamy/buttery. The dessert options were only verbally presented to us (we were full), but none of them sounded European/French or intriguing to us. The neighbor table had one that looked like a brownie. There is maybe room for improvement on the dessert side of things. The espresso we ordered was watered down a bit. Other than that, it was a great experience. Greenville has one upscale restaurant more in town! read more

Scoundrel is the best upscale restaurant to come to Greenville. Escargot was perfectly cooked and seasoned, deviled blue crab was super refreshing, and the sauce on the dirty rotten scoundrel paired perfectly with the burger. Wait staff was super attentive and I loved watching them make the beef tartare right in front of me. Overall, really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. read more

2nd time dining at Scoundrel- this time solo at the bar.. what a welcoming place with Lauren the bartender at the helm. Food and service still stellar. I ordered Colin's baguette, Caesar salad, the Duck, and the summer squash. It's the little details that are impressive. Corn+butter = wow! The grilled celery roots hidden in the Caesar salad- a delightful surprise underneath the veil of cheese. Luxurious. Duck was perfection and who knew summer squash can be that light and delightful. Thank you for another great experience. read more

Service and food was amazing! From the beginning, AB was great with greeting us with waters and table side service and helping with wine selection! Our server Jess was great as well. read more

My wife and I returned home about an hour ago and we are still floating on a culinary cloud. Here are the highlights: perfectly dressed Caesar salad with a hint of anchovy; warm baguette with compound butter; Sichuan sashimi tuna with crispy wontons; escargot with croustini and tons of garlic butter; roast duck with crispy skin on the breast, and pressed, confited dark meat; the very BEST pork dish of my life--pork Milanese--crunchy crust and succulent interior, counterbalanced perfectly with a squeeze of lemon and a peppery arugula salad; a fried crousant thingy for dessert, reminiscent of a pear-stuffed beignet; and last but not least, the VERY BEST chocolate layer cake of my life--rich without being cloying, and capturing the essence of chocolate perfection. Wow, wow WOW! Service was amazing--genuinely kind, hospitable, and invested in creating a memorable experience. Our server, Elyse, and a manager, Jess, were two standouts among a staff that was stellar across the board. Thank you, Scoundrel, for a remarkable and soul-satisfying evening. I am grateful for your commitment to the process. It showed in every element of the experience. read more

Amazing atmosphere, service, and food! Clams Thornton, chicken, and rose croissant are beyond incredible!

We had an absolutely incredible experience here. First off, the ambiance is perfect... dark wood and brick with an equal amount chic and fancy without being stuffy. Each dish is served in a unique patterned porcelain dish, and the dishes are plated beautifully. The beef tartare is even served tableside! We had just about everything on the menu, and everything was awesome! We started with the muffuletta salad and Caesar salad, and both cou have been the main! They were delicious and creative and unlike any salads I've had before! The caesar had a cool smoky taste to it, and the muffuletta really tasted like a muffuletta! We also had oysters, escargot, clams, beef tartare, and the blue deviled crab with cream. The oysters were fresh and the minoeitte and horseradish were the perfect accompaniments. The escargot was buttery and delicious! The clams were just the right amount of spicy and smoky, and the blue deviled crab and cream was unbelievable! At the table, people also ordered the salmon, the duck, the chicken, the steak frites, and I had the puff pastry with winter roots. It was truly amazing... melt in your mouth delicious with this beautiful sweet sauce! Everybody loved their meal and cleaned their plate even though we'd already eaten so much! We also got the side salad, fries, broccolini, and the honey butternut squash! Every side was so delicious! It was incredible to see a place that takes just as much pride in its sides and salads as it does in its main course! We finished off with the chocolate cake, and I couldn't stop eating it! It was unbelievable... perfect amount of sweet and rich but not too much that I had to stop eating it! Service was wonderful as well! Our waitress, Jess was very helpful and brought a great energy to the table! This place is a must go! read more

I had the privilege of eating at Scoundrel this past Friday night and it was a magical dining experience from beginning to end. The cocktails were delicious, and the staff was attentive and on point. Our server Jess was incredible and made our dinner that much more enjoyable with her recommendations. It's hard to pick just a few items that stood out as everything we ate was amazing, but beef tartare is made table side which was a unique touch, and the deviled blue crab was insane. The steak frites did not disappoint as well! If you're looking for a truly unique and memorable dining experience, I can't recommend Scoundrel enough. We will definitely be back!! read more
