I am a fan of this continued memorable dining experience. My guests did not make it easy on the server, and she could not have been more gracious. Everyone in the restaurant is attentive, and prompt to serve or respond to any need. The wine and menu selection were excellent. The scenery especially now is beautiful. Can't wait to return.

Rick Erwin’s Clemson continues to deliver a wonderful experience for our family every time. The staff is incredibly welcoming and Marten our waiter was exceptional. Our personal recommendations would include the fillet with Ricks black and blue and the scallops with the delicious risotto. Honestly, anything we have ever had was fabulous. Do yourself a favor for a night out or special event, this is the place for a memorable evening.
