L* Special Villa Bowl

The Viva Special Bowl with chicken, shrimp, and veggies was FANTASTIC!! I did not even need to pour the cheese sauce on top of it because it already had such great flavor. I had a super nice server too that helped me choose what to order. I will return again! Only negative is I'm old so the music playing is a little louder than I would prefer, but if I was young I doubt that would faze me at all. I'll return for the yummy food! It was just a short little walk from my hotel down on Main Street past the railroad tracks. The chips and sauce were delicious too!

Fajitas
Christine A.

I think this place is a hidden gem, easy to walk past on the busy street especially with businesses popping up left and right. The bartender was very friendly, offered us menu suggestions and made a couple of great (and huge!) margaritas. We got the birria tacos, a carnitas taco and the chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas. Everything was great and tasted fresh. The restaurant was a bit dark back by the bar but it was beautifully decorated and had a traditional Mexican feel. Will be back to try more menu items!

Enchiladas plate
Sally B.

Tasty food. Started with the chunky guacamole. Delicious. Enchiladas were good as well. Lovely family friendly atmosphere. And our waitress was fantastic. We will be back.

Chicken fajitas
Kevin S.

The coconut shrimp here are the biggest I've ever seen, and So delicious!! The waitress we had was fantastic. We also shared the chicken fajitas. We didn't finish it all by any means. Definitely hit the spot for good food and good service.

Cucumber Margarita
Kimberly G.

Bastian was our server, a very friendly young man. He was professional and eager to please. It was one of the best meals I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The Cucumber Margarita was delicious. They make their margaritas from scratch here, so that definitely helps them stand out from the competition. The staff greeted you as if you were a guest in their home. Very nice!

Coco Margarita, taste better than it looks. Wow.

The name is written UP, in capital letters, which I appreciate as a safety measure. In lowercase,…read moresomeone could wander in off River Street assuming this was a ground-floor operation and be startled to find themselves on the eighth floor of an Embassy Suites. The capitals settle it. You are up. You are on the roof. Nobody is confused. I ordered There's a Lettuce Wrap!, exclamation point and all, which arrives as seven honey-soy glazed fried chicken wraps. Seven is an odd number to commit to, and I respected it. The chicken was crisp, the glaze landed somewhere between sweet and salty, and the lettuce made me feel like I'd ordered something light. I would eat it again tomorrow. The Reedy River and the Blue Ridge sit out past the railing doing their scenic work, and plenty of rooftops figure the skyline can cover for a mediocre kitchen. This one didn't need the cover. Mrs. W. was along, and UP earned her approval, which I never assume. She has standards and they are not up for negotiation, so watching a rooftop restaurant clear them felt like watching a long shot come in. The elevator ride back to the ground floor felt like a demotion.

5 star view 4 star drinks…read more2 star food Seems clear. Apps, or a quick bite, or a long day and just need food...it's great. Looking for a meal to remember? Move on. Cocktail and a view! Must do. If I ran this place I would stick to appetizers, flat breads, and cocktails. I would also make the sunset a bigger feature, more accessible (that side of the patio is as roped off and signs prevented you from even walking over to get a photo)....also the patio seating need to be smaller and more broken up. Anyhow view f the city is great and the staff is so kind, and helpful! And bartenders are good!

When asked what were the dishes most appreciated by customers he said the scallops and the short ribs. We both laughed that our last meal at a nice place was scoops served with short ribs... We went for the halibut, and were not disappointed. The fish was nicely seared and creatively served with peach chutney, broccoli salad with shaved almond, golden raisins, radish... (I cheated and copied that from the website.). It was a very well executed dish. My wife brought back a considerable portion for our small dog to enjoy. We had a wedge salad that was as good as any I have had. Nice touch. Desert was a single Sticky Toffee Pudding covered with Vanilla Bean ice cream. The pudding had no chocolate, yet it convinced both of us that it did have rich chocolate. It's a date based dessert. We enjoyed speaking with two of the owners Chris and his wife Dakota. Both were very engaging people. Chris was seen frequently checking on guests, organizing things, etc. They stopped by and spoke at length more than once. The place is busy and noisy, do be aware. If you were planning a business meeting this would be a good place to go AFTER the discussions are over. It's a must go place in Greenville. Try. it.

Soby's is recommended in the Michelin Guide. When we came for a week to help us decide whether we…read moremight like to move to Asheville, NC or Greenville, Soby's was the one Southern cuisine restaurant whose menu really appealed to both of us. 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.

Great restaurant in the Greenville area, excellent for date night or a group gathering!…read more This place is huge on the inside but I'd still recommend reservations. The bar seating also looked plentiful if that's something you're into. All the staff were super nice and attentive. We ordered the Tyger River Salad and Brussels Sprouts and both were outstanding! The toppings for the salad paired perfectly with the vinaigrette and the Brussels were some of the best I've had! The crab cakes and short rib were both solid, but I had higher hopes based on how amazing the first course was. The portions are very generous as well, so we didn't even finish the complimentary cheddar biscuits. They had a fun cocktail list and plenty of wine and beer to choose from as well. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4 stars and we will be back!

IIIII like good food and I cannot lie…read more.... I will preface this all by saying I have been coming to Greenville for almost 15 years for work. maybe only once a year but still... I love the city and the people. Fall for Greenville is fantastic!! Onto my review -- I was visiting Greenville for work this past week and was staying at the Aloft. I did a quick online search for a new food / dining destination when i saw ABYSS... Since it is right beside my hotel I decide to give it a go! Wow, what a treat. I sat at the bar. Bartender was top shelf Ali i think... She made me a paper plane without having to look it up . The happy hour menu was a pretty amazing value so i tried a couple of pieces from it. Bluefin "nachos" ie wontons.... Great!! Scallops and bacon sliders.. great!! Then I decided to also add the Wagyu - crispy rice. Also great!! But you know what else really sets this place apart? The Fries! Crazy but here's my take. Everyone is doing fancy pretentious, parm, truffle garlic blah blah blah.... These fries had a unique slender (thin but wide) cut, seasoned lightly. and cooked to perfection. you can tell they take it all very seriously here. from the Chefs all the way to the greeters. It's like they all took Yes chef training at "The Bear" IYKYK...Fantastic attentive service. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

I don't know where to start. Love this place! Love the atmosphere. Love the servers…read more Absolutely, love the food!!!. Restaurant is attached to the Aloft in downtown Greenville. I got the raw oysters (3/$9) during happy hour where everything was 50%. Also got the bang, bang shrimp, burger and fried chix sandwich. All of the food was HOT, as it should be, and PERFECT. CANT MISS SPOT FOR HAPPY HOUR. LOVE IT!!!

The bathroom floors also remained wet and slippery for about an hour. The ladies' room had no toilet tissue or paper towels, only a hand dryer, which was surprising considering they had just opened for the day. The food was hit or miss. The medium-hot salsa was yummy, but the chips didn't taste fresh. We ordered freshly made queso, but by the time it arrived at our table, a skin had already formed across the top, which wasn't very appetizing. The steak fajitas themselves were good. I wasn't a fan of the cheese or sour cream that came with them, though. The cheese had an unusual texture that I've never seen before, and the sour cream was very watery. Both the black beans and pinto beans were also swimming in liquid. The bright spot was definitely the service. Kendall was friendly, attentive, and took great care of us throughout our meal. Since the restaurant has just opened, hopefully some of these issues are simply opening-day kinks that will get worked out. There were things we enjoyed, especially the service, salsa, and steak fajitas, but the cleanliness/restroom issues and some of the food quality and presentation need improvement.

My friends and I had just checked in our hotel downtown, and wanted to grab some lunch. One of my…read morefriends was interested in Mexican, and this place looked ok, so we gave it a try. Bad choice. As we were travelling, I wanted some vegetarian, so I got the Pizzabella because it looked a little bit different. The food was delivered on time, but at first bite, it tasted terrible. The "thin crust" was a stale tortilla that I couldn't even cut. The vegetables were luke warm. I ate most of it because I was hungry, not because I liked. My friend made a comment about her dish that it was like they just hired someone too cook for the very first time. Service wasn't bad, but not particularly friendly. Not recommended. It's a waste of money.

You can't come to Greenville and spend the day at the Jazz Festival without enjoying a night out,…read moreand Coupe's Corner was the perfect choice! After spending the day downtown, we went back to refresh and headed over to Coupe's Corner for the evening. When we first pulled up and saw a line outside, we almost changed our minds. Thankfully, we stayed because the line moved surprisingly fast. We probably waited no more than 10 minutes, and we even met some really nice people while waiting. Once inside, we quickly realized the space is much larger than it appears from the outside. In addition to the indoor area, there's a patio space in the back that gives you even more room to enjoy the atmosphere. It was definitely crowded, but in a good way. The energy was great, the crowd was mature and age-appropriate, and the overall vibe was exactly what we were looking for. The music was on point, with different music playing inside and outside, giving guests options depending on their mood. The drinks were phenomenal, and our bartender was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Although they serve food, we didn't get a chance to try it because the kitchen was closing for the night. Since they're located downtown and close at midnight, the kitchen closes accordingly. However, our bartender shared that they're opening a second location that will stay open later, which means longer kitchen hours as well. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. Service, atmosphere, music, and drinks were all top-tier. The only minor thing worth mentioning is that the hallway connecting the indoor and outdoor areas is a bit narrow and can become congested, especially since it's also where the restrooms are located. Overall, this place gets a solid 10 out of 10 from me. Great service, great drinks, great music, and an amazing atmosphere. The vibe was absolutely vibing, and I would definitely return the next time I'm in Greenville.

I originally ordered the lamb chops, which were one of only about six entrées listed on the menu, but I was told they no longer offered them. I then decided to order the salmon, only to find out they were also out of the rice and Brussels sprouts that normally come with it. The alternative offered was French fries with the glazed salmon, and that combination just didn't sound appealing to me, so I decided to skip the meal altogether. On a positive note, the service was great and the drinks were really good. The staff was pleasant and accommodating, but with such a limited menu, it was disappointing that several of the items and sides were unavailable. I can't really speak on the food because I unfortunately never got the opportunity to try it.
