    Nut encrusted salmon - yummy!
    Sue D.

    Vangeli's is our go to for special dinners. We tried "couples night" on Tuesdays. It was a delicious experience with a nicely priced menu. We also took advantage of the discount wine specials available to try a different champagne. The food was beautiful and delicious. Joe, our server, is lovely with great recommendations. The ambiance is friendly. Overall always a great experience!

    Lamb chops!

    Exquisite! Service was excellent! Delicious food great ambiance Thank u Patrick great server

    Another great restuarant on our trip to Lake Keowee. Joe was our waiter and gave us great service. The food is immaculate and so tasty. Great steak and pasta dishes.... We had the chicken & andouille sausage pasta and this was a tasty dinner. The salads are huge too and so many choices of great salads. We had the Bacon & Bleu Salad and the Heirloom Tomato salads. Their wine selections are EXCELLENT with an extensive list that includes French, Italian, Argentinian, Calif and others. We enjoyed a French Can Franc. Dessert... omg. They had Banana Creme Brûlée, Strawberry Creme Brûlée, Peaches & Creme Brûlée, and a a layered chocolate and cheesecake cake. The Banana Cream Brûlée was to die for!

    Caribbean Red Snapper. Outstanding!

I couldn't finish my sandwich I was so satisfied! My husband had the lamb melt which he "liked it ok"I liked the soup so much that I purchased a quart to go. I will definitely be back.

    I don't know what the name means, but I stopped here because I was pressed for time. While I wasn't…read moreimpressed by the shopping mall I pulled into, they absolutely maximized the space, with an outdoor dining area walled in by plants. This is a sandwich and salad lunch place, and there were several plausible options for vegetarians and vegans. My order came with a side and I added a cookie. Ice cups were out for a self-serve collection of tea (sweet or unsweet), lemonade, and water at no extra charge. My mushroom-heavy toasted sandwich delivered on flavor, with a rosemary olive oil bread contrasting the massive amount of mushrooms and a zippy romesco inside. For a side, I received a garlicky hummus with pita. My cookie was a slightly odd texture, but it did round out the experience and keep me full for an outdoor day. It was quick, easy, had options for most diets, was a nice place to eat, and on top of that I got out for a price I couldn't believe. To be fair, if I weren't in middle of nowhere South Carolina I'm sure there's no way I get that meal for under $20 at current rates, but I had no problem stopping here on the way to the mountains, and I doubt there was any better lunch option for a long way in any direction.

    Stopped by Arnold's of Seneca for the first time last night and used the drive-through. The…read moreservice was the highlight of the visit. The employee at the window couldn't have been nicer, very friendly, helpful, and even offered me a menu to keep for future visits. Truly excellent customer service. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (lettuce and tomato only (no premium topping options available), along with onion rings and coleslaw. The total came to $13.08 before tip, which is a great price and initially set expectations fairly high. The wait time was reasonable, but when I received the bag it felt surprisingly light. Once home, the portion sizes were underwhelming. The onion rings were moderate, the coleslaw was about an ice-cream-scoop portion, and the grilled chicken sandwich consisted of a very small piece of chicken with one slice of lettuce and a thin slice of tomato on a plain white bun. For context, I weighed the chicken portion and it came in at 2.68 ounces, which is noticeably smaller than expected for a sandwich. Food quality was basic. The coleslaw appeared pre-packaged and was quite watery, and the onion rings seemed mass-produced rather than freshly battered. The chicken itself could have used more seasoning and a more substantial portion. Even a slightly upgraded bun would have helped. I'm giving this two stars instead of three because while the service was outstanding and the pricing is attractive, this is a restaurant first and foremost, and the food quality and portions didn't meet expectations. I'm not trying to bash ownership; a small increase in price to allow for better ingredients and slightly larger portions could make a big difference.
