    Truly an amazing experience from start to finish! The food was outstanding — the closest we’ve had to true farm-to-table while in Greenville. Most ingredients are locally sourced, and the food is high quality with obviously fresh ingredients and packed with flavor. We started with the Brussels sprouts appetizer (a must-try!), then had the pork entree and the veggie enchiladas with a shrimp add-on — both were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented with very generous portions. For dessert, the bourbon creme brûlée (accompanied by the port wine) was the perfect finish. Cocktails were well-crafted and unique for people who can recognize and acknowledge a talented bartender, the wine list was thoughtful, and the bourbon and spirit options were extensive. The service from Yaz was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, truly enjoyable compared to other local experiences. The atmosphere is elevated yet relaxed; smart casual attire felt just right. We’ll definitely be back!
