I'll admit my bias up front: I live in the Stoney Point subdivision. I can walk to Bermuda's at…read moreany time, when they're open, and I do so often. I'm amazed that there aren't more people who DON'T live in the neighborhood who aren't taking advantage of the restaurant. I'm even more amazed there isn't more traffic since they got Chef Larry. Larry is very good. He's laconic and somewhat intimidating, but Chef Larry is a CHEF, and you'll enjoy what he and his staff bring out. Larry is a treasure, in other words.
You need to try them, but you need to call in advance to make sure they are serving when you want to arrive.
To the immediate north of Greenwood, SC, as you come in on US-72, about 10 miles from Greenwood's town center, there's nothing that compares to Bermuda's for dining, and on any side of Greenwood, the restaurant at Bermuda's should be a destination restaurant for those of you who've missed out on it. Perhaps it's because Stoney Point isn't near the hotels in Greenwood that there's not much traffic here. Bermuda's IS a restaurant at Stoney Point that's open to the public, you'll have to look for it, and it's on par (pun intended) with the best restaurants Greenwood has to offer. Hell, I don't play golf, and I like it here.
I don't understand why there isn't more dining traffic at Bermuda's from locals, other than the fact you may not know if you can get in because of a party that's rented the place, or even what their hours are. The chef (and his staff) are some of the more creative in the Greenwood area, the service (even if you don't live here) is outstanding, and the dining area and bars are cozy and friendly. This place may be the most well-kept secret restaurant in Greenwood, and I'm not sure if they want to keep it secret. If they do, I apologize.
The kitchen is always willing to get creative for my vegetarian requests, depending on what they have: for those of you who are carnivores, I'm told by colleagues and friends that the meat-based dishes are outstanding.
Indeed, Bermuda's is the first choice for my company's business dinners and meetings, since most of those include people looking for a good meat.
You SHOULD call them in advance before visiting: the restaurant is usually only open at certain times (typically, dinner on Friday and Saturday, and Thursday night happy hour; they usually have lunch Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), and when the place is reserved for a party, wedding, reception, or whatever, there may not be dining service. As I mentioned, I live here, and I've walked up to the clubhouse several times only to find that I should have read my newsletter.
As of this review, Bermuda's has been offering lunch on Saturday.
