When you get to the bottom, it becomes astoundingly salty. Fromage et Poivre (9/10): the brown butter sauce was perfection! The casarecce was also perfectly al dente. MM MM MM! Paté (7/10): the pastry and paté came together pretty nicely, but it still felt like it was missing something Peking Duck (8.5/10): ok this was juicy and perfectly cooked. I was very wowed. However, the $52 price tag is absolutely insane. It's two small pieces of duck. The price tag on this single tapas-size dish is greater than that of some 3* Michelin restaurants around the world. I wouldn't say it's worth the money Service was excellent.

My friend invited my husband and I to this restaurant for her birthday…read more What a wonderful experience, although it did start off a little weird. We were about 10 minutes early. We stood by the door and they said there was nowhere for us to wait other than that spot. They offered us drinks, which was good... but it started in an awkward way. I felt a bit uncomfortable standing next to people on the couches, while they ate. I felt we were encroaching on them. We were seated in the rear section of the restaurant. Note: The air is quite chilly in this area. (You may want to bring light jacket) Adam was our waiter. His knowledge of the wine was a huge help for my husband's paring with his meal. He explained the food perfectly and was very patient with all of our questions. The food! OHMYGOODNESS! The duck was cooked perfectly. It had a sauce that was out of this world. One of the people at our table absolutely refused to let his wife taste his chicken because he wanted to enjoy every last bite! I shared bronzino fish w the birthday girl.(not sure how to spell it) Oh My Goodness!!! Friggin amazing! The crusting was absolute perfection. The clam/sauce complimented the fish perfectly. Appetizers were on point! Cream brûlée was a bit too creamy for me, I like it more like flan consistency, but it was very good. Once I save up again, I will certainly go back.

We have always considered Hall's Chophouse one of the best restaurants in the area, which is…read moreexactly why we chose to bring our out-of-town family there. They own a grocery store up north, have very high expectations when it comes to food, and we've always felt confident recommending Hall's. Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. While our last couple of experiences had some service issues, the food and drinks had remained consistently good. This time, however, both the service and the food missed the mark. We waited nearly two hours for our meals to arrive. Every steak at our table was ordered either rare or medium rare, yet every single one came out well done. Not only were they overcooked, but they were also tough and cold! Under normal circumstances, we would have sent them back, but after waiting two hours and dining with children, we didn't feel like we had much of a choice but to eat them. A manager stopped by our table, but instead of asking how everything was or acknowledging the obvious issues, he simply asked if he could bring us anything else. There was no apology, no attempt to make things right, and no offer to comp any part of the meal despite the excessive wait and improperly cooked food. When we later asked for the manager to come back because we wanted him to know how disappointed we were, the response was to send us home with dessert. We all politely declined because we didn't want dessert--it wasn't the issue, and it would have gone to waste. For a restaurant with Hall's reputation and prices, we expected much better. It was embarrassing to have recommended it so highly to family, only to have this be their experience. We sincerely hope this was an isolated incident, but after multiple disappointing visits, we will take our $900.00+ dining elsewhere!!!!

Excellent food and service, we had reservations for a Thursday night and good thing we had the…read morereservations, they're very popular. I had the steak frites with filet mignon. Hubs had the meatballs (which the server said they only had two left...a friend nabbed the others) and other friends had the moules (mussels) frites and the braised short rib IIRC. The *.frites were the biggest hits. My filet was perfect, Sharon was raving about her mussels being the best she's had in ages. I had a bite of the meatballs, they were ok but people agreed there are better things on their menu. I love that the frites come with a choice of 3 out of about 10 different custom mayos (aiolis for the fancy-schmancy). I tried the curry, sriracha, and a fruity one I can't remember exactly what it was. I liked the fruity one the best and to my surprise, the curry the least (I usually love curry, but the balance was off). The sriracha mayo was too subtle for me, I slather sriracha mayo on my burgers regularly. I have no class. The frites were fresh cut and I enjoyed them but there were far more than I could eat on my plate, and sadly frites don't keep. They have my favorite super sweet Lindemann's framboise lambic on tap; I've only ever had it in bottles before, so that was a treat. My husband thinks I'm crazy to drink it because it is SO SWEET but I love it. So does Sharon, and clearly we're not alone or they wouldn't waste a tap on it :). It's beer for people who hate beer. (I resemble that remark. Maybe hate is a strong word. But in my 30s I realized I'd rather drink a soda than a beer, except for this one.) Desserts sounded good but we were too stuffed to order any. Next time I come, I may try the mussels, or I might just order that steak again.

It's in a basement that feels like a pleasant dungeon or a 1500's rogue tavern, you know, the kind in the movies where plots to overturn evil rulers are hatched. It is a unique vibe and after your meal, when emerging back onto the brightly lit street, it's akin to stepping out of a secret place and back into the light of day. The beer selection is impressive. This food is Belgian inspired. Hence the name being derived from a mix of Trappist Monks, trap doors, and a hidden underground enclave. Many of the beers have higher alcohol content, listed on the menu, be advised. The specialty is Moules Frites, mussels prepared in various broths and fries double fried in duck fat served with a flight of your choice of flavored mayonnaise such as wasabi, curry, truffle, sriracha, etc. Very good. Reservations are highly recommended. It was a busy Thursday at 6:30pm and the place was literally packed, even the bar. The two of us were seated in a large, dark, alcove booth fitting for six or perhaps even eight. We had a reservation, so the hostess said, "we may as well fill it" since it was that crowded. Being such, it was five minutes before we were noticed and placed our drink orders, another five before our water arrived and we ordered and about 30 minutes later to get our food. In between we were left to ourselves. The service was not negligent, but it was minimal and not really friendly either. It was a busy night, so we will have grace. But the mussels were delicious. We both had the Provincale, a rich, savory, Mediterranean sauce of tomatoes, garlic and white wine. Bourdain says "never order the mussels", in his Kitchen Confidential book, but here you are safe because they are very popular and the main feature. I've probably said this before and it is worth repeating, they need to up their crusty bread game. The broth is so good and the accompanying bread just doesn't lend itself to bringing the dish to another level, but it could were it better bread. This is a solid and must do restaurant experience when visiting Greenville. It arguably should be the "one" restaurant you must visit in town because of its unique ambiance and unique food & beverage.

We ate at the lovely Saskatoon Lodge, August 26th for our 31st anniversary. We were welcomed from…read morethe moment we arrived. The owner and very funny, Mrs Woo, took us to our table. Knowing this was our very first visit, Mrs Woo brought us some samples of antelope and kangaroo telling us it was zebra and hippo instead. Please keep an open mind about trying this restaurant!! Even if you don't care for a lot of the items on their menu because they might be too gamey tasting for your liking, they do have many other items such as fish and steaks to choose from instead. So, I'm the one who doesn't care for venison. However, the antelope and kangaroo were both very good!!! They also grow most of their herbs and veggies on site. The atmosphere inside was like being in a ski lodge in the mountains. However, outside the setting and gardens were almost magical. If I were 31 years younger, this would be the perfect place to get married. The grounds were immaculate and enchanting from the secluded surroundings to the soft sound of running water through the steam and over the small waterfall. It was beautiful!! Ms. Summer was our waitress. She was fabulous and very knowledgeable about everything that was on the menu. She was attentive and had great suggestions for my husband. I had made my mind up the day before after looking over the menu. We had the Lodge Classic Sampler which included alligator bites, shrimp, Buffalo and spinach-bacon dip (which was fabulous). I thought the alligator bites were much like chicken, but somewhat dry and chewy. What can one expect from an old alligator. I had the Kangaroo Strip Loin which came with fresh green beans and sliced carrots and a potato of your choice. The kangaroo was very lean, easy to chew and did not have a gamey taste whatsoever. I enjoyed it very much and would order it again! My hubby had the Huntsman Sampler which included grilled quail, lamb and buffalo as well as the green beans and carrots and choice of potato. He enjoyed it all, but said he probably wouldn't order quail in the future. He said it was a bit on the dry side. I would think this could easily happen just because of the size of the quail in the first place. I'm sure there is a fine line between getting it cooked enough without over cooking. We finished our meal off with bread pudding which was the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. This will be the place we bring all of our out of town family and friends to in the future and I'm sure we will return from time to time again!!

The interior is well decorated like a cozy lodge. Expect groups of people dining in. We're both foodies, being brave enough to try the wild game meats. We ordered the alligator bites(chicken nuggets), wild game sausages came with horse radish and honey mustard sauce(3 different wild game sausages: buffalo,venison, elk); thick like lumber jack sausages), spinach bacon dip served with corn chips (bacon tasted a bit gamey but its good) and buffalo bone marrow canoe ( a bit overcooked and dryed;not much marrow inside) for our appetizers. We tryed the huntsman platter : New Zealand Venison Chop( texture like pork,earthly and slightly sweet), Kangaroo Strip Loin( tough/meaty) and Antelope( like lean beef). The seasonal specials that wasnt on the menu is the Ostrich. We were curious about it since alot of visitors highly favored it over other game meats. So we ordered a small portion to try. The Ostrich tasted amazing similar to filet mignon Our server recommended us to try the meats medium rare to medium well so we did. We ordered too much food so we took the rest to go. Overall a great adventurous experience for our taste buds. The food came out a reasonable timing.I wouldnt order the meats pink again,I would recommend it cooked well done. Having it served medium rare makes it more chewy and gamey. I went home with the rest of my leftovers and fully cooked them, it tasted so much better. Next time we are in the area were going to try the non-wild game menu items. The staff and servers were very attentive and informative about our whole new experience.

After eating there, I would consider moving to Greenville just so I could have Soby's fried chicken every week. 8-) Usually fried chicken is fried chicken, but this was something different. The meat was incredibly soft, tender and moist, while the skin had the perfect crunch and came out wonderfully hot. It was served with broccolini and macaroni and cheese. When dinner started, I wasn't that hungry and had already decided I would give my husband half of my chicken. Then I took one bite. And another. There is NO WAY I am giving my husband half of this chicken. He got one bite to try. He agreed it was delicious. He ordered the Braised Beef Short Ribs, which he finished without offering me a bite. I did manage to convince him to share the White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie with me for dessert. It had just the right amount of good, real banana flavor and was generously topped with white chocolate flakes. We like watching chefs work, so we asked for a table upstairs with a view of the kitchen. We got the perfect corner table where we could watch more of that incredible fried chicken being made, along with the other entrees being cooked and plated below. Thank you to the chefs downstairs, the hostess, and our server for making our last night in Greenville a meal and experience we won't forget. My tummy is still thinking about that fried chicken.
