    Shaved cheese steak and wedge fries
    Shamar C.

    We went here during the game and it wasn't busy inside, everyone was outside enjoying the sun. I orders the steak cheese steak with wedge fries. The wedge fries were cooked really well, the cheese steak was ok, I would have liked to have more onion and peppers. I would come back and try their Brunch menu.

    We were so hungry we forgot to take pictures of our food. However, this is a view from our table upstairs.

    My college roommate and I ate here one night. It was not overly crowded when we walked in and so we asked for a table with a view of the lake. They took us upstairs to a room that looked like a church fellowship hall that had a view of the building next-door. We asked to switch tables so that we could see the lake. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us and we had a beautiful view for our meal. I wanted to order the pecan chicken, but it came with brussels sprouts that I don't care for. I asked if I could switch to something else and the server said no. I ended up with a cheeseburger,fries and coleslaw. The burger was excellent as were the fries. I don't think I would order the coleslaw again. Our server was very nice, almost flirtatious with my roommate which was a little awkward. All in all it was a good meal.

    Good food and good service on our visit. We had called for a reservation but they weren't taking any more reservations when we called. So we just showed up and went to the bar. A table opened up within 30 minutes of our arrival, so it worked out great.

    We had heard that the Lighthouse Restaurant was a great dining experience on Lake Keowee and they certainly did not disappoint. The food starting with the crab pretzel was phenomenal was just the way to our hearts. The food was fresh and expertly prepared including the "Famous Chicken" which was off the charts delicious. The seafood medley was also very tasty and fresh. The desserts from the strawberry shortcake cheesecake, crème Brûlée and Chocolate lava cake were all so amazing. To top off our dinning experience was our server who was very attentive and always there to refill drinks as soon as they were low. I would highly recommend you check them out if you're in the Lake Keowee area, as we will definitely be visiting again.

    We absolutely loved our experience at the lighthouse restaurant when we vacationed in South Carolina last week! We loved the ambiance the decor the views the staff and most definitely the food! We recommend the fried green tomatoes, the hot honey fried chicken, the potato skins, and the filet mignon! Everything was delicious!

    Cosmo? Really just vodka and cranberry juice

    Great ambiance. Nice and attentive waitress. Expected more out of the food. Bar: The cosmo was on the menu but they really just gave me a vodka cran (see the picture--a cosmo is usually pink and sweet). I recommend sticking to beer and wine. Food: They gave bread which is always a plus! The mac and cheese was good. The burger was ok (the bun and cheese were the best part somehow). Fettuccine looked more like mac and cheese. Broccoli was very plain. Overall, food was meh but not bad. I would give this place another shot but probably wouldn't order another cocktail!

    Before I write this review I must say thank you to Andrew and Randall for making our wedding…read morereception everything we imagined and so much more!! Thank You! From the very first meeting with Andrew and Randall my wife and I knew exactly where our wedding reception was going to be, Palmetto Ridge! They were so easy to work with through every step of the process and so patient with all of our requests (and trust me they weren't all easy requests). They will exceed every expectation you have! The Venue: Absolutely beautiful! Two main rooms, we used one for the food and 'beverages' and the other as the dining room for 150+ people with a dance floor and stage for the band or DJ. More than enough parking even for our large event. The landscaping is well taken care of and makes for some beautiful picture opportunities. I almost forgot... It was scorching hot the day of our wedding but that wasn't a problem at Palmetto Ridge we walked in and it was honestly refreshingly cool and that made us and every one of our guests very happy! The Food: DELICIOUS!!! Tell them you want the Shrimp & Grits trust me you will not be disappointed!!! The Staff: Professional, courteous, and invisible and I mean that as a HUGE compliment. I don't mean invisible as in they aren't doing the job, quite the opposite actually! They do the job so well you don't even know they are there! I worry about everything and Andrew and Randall noticed that and basically told me "stop worrying, we got this" and they absolutely did! Without the two of them watching over everything I doubt my new bride and I would have had half the fun we had! Thanks Andrew and Randall we really appreciate every thing you did to make that day so special! If you are looking for a venue for your wedding or any other event you'd be crazy not to call Palmetto Ridge!

I had no idea what direction I wanted to go or even where i needed to start. Heather made the entire process so easy for my family and myself. She's extremely personable, listens and gets to know you and your soon-to-be right from the start. My wedding went so smoothly. Thinking back, if there was ever an issue, I didn't know about it or worry because I knew Heather had my back. She thought of every detail and really made sure my big day was everything my husband and myself wanted. I recommend her to everyone I know who are newly engaged because she makes the process so stress free.

    Something strange happened to our Google review so posting it here for posterity…read more Open app Your location Jacob 87 points 3 months ago Our experience with Timeless Events was deeply disappointing and unnecessarily stressful. If we hadn't stepped in and handled planning ourselves, our wedding would have suffered. Heather, the owner, was often unresponsive and difficult to reach. Despite advertising "constant communication with the bride," we struggled to get timely responses during the final month before our wedding, when support matters most. Although we hired Timeless Events to help with planning and coordination, we ended up sourcing every vendor on our own. We were also repeatedly told our deposit would be refunded due to the lack of services provided, but that refund never happened. Only after we canceled did Heather explain she had been dealing with health issues. Had this been communicated earlier, we would have been understanding. Instead, the lack of transparency left us scrambling and under unnecessary stress. This experience did not meet the expectations set by their marketing or contract. We've chosen not to pursue remediation and are focusing on moving forward. We strongly caution future couples, especially nontraditional ones, to carefully consider their options before booking Timeless Events.
