    We celebrated our 18th year anniversary and the manager was fabulous. I called and she was able to move our reservation earlier and at the end they brought us a card all signed by the staff. Food was great, amazing view outside and wonderful hospitality. Thanks for helping make our anniversary dinner special!

    Sunday brunch at Passerelle was great! The brunch menu has lots of gluten-free options for my wife. Food was great and service was excellent. It was a little noisier than I like it for brunch but it was very festive due to the busker playing the steel drum at Liberty Bridge.

    I was disappointed with this visit. The waiter was VERY distracted, it took almost 10 minutes to bring our drink then take our order. Once order placed took another forth minutes for the food to come out and when it did my Croque Madame was cold. They were very nice and took it off my bill, but I believe had my server been doing his job that wouldn't have happened

    The mussels in wine sauce were excellent. The bread was excellent. The duck a l'orange was well cooked but the meat was stringy. Also the grilled brussel sprouts overpowered the delicate flavor of the meat. I did not care for the addition of mandarin pieces. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this dish. The outdoor ambiance is excellent with a partial view of the water fall. The outdoor seating is in a public area so there will be people walking through the dining area to get to the public toilet and the elevator. Just be aware of that. The ambiance was quiet with low background music.

    Took some out-of-state friends there for lunch on Labor Day. We had excellent cocktails, yummy food and good service. It’s a wonderful spot for enjoying the Falls, the Liberty Bridge and walking over to see the great Grand Bohemian Hotel with its fab architecture and gorgeous Native American art on display. There may be better restaurants Downtown but the cuisine and locale combine for an exception experience!

    I booked this place for my husband's birthday a month before and noted it on the reservation. When we arrived, we were told "that they could see if they could squeeze us in." The server seemed like we were a big inconvenience the entire time and barely checked on us throughout the meal. At one point, I asked for more water, and she just rolled her eyes and huffed off. Our bill was more than $200, and we tipped 25%, but it was a let-down of a birthday celebration during our first ever trip to Greenville.

    The quality of the food was very good. I enjoyed the appetizer. I thought the main course was meh, not at all impressed. Didn't compare to the Chicken Cordon Bleu I've had in other restaurants. The desert was basically flavorless and soupy. Not at all like your traditional mousse.

    No restaurant in Greenville has a better location. The restaurant is next to and overlooks upper Reedy Falls. Make a reservation and request a seat adjacent to the railing on that side. Excellent view, ambiance, and food. Would definitely go again on a return trip to Greenville.

    Fabulous food and service in one of the most beautiful locations in Greenville. Complaints? A couple. 1) An excellent French restaurant that doesn’t serve good crusty French bread with meals? Unheard of in any other I’ve been to. Want some bread? 4 slices for $7. Really? 2) Prices have risen significantly over the last few years. I’m sure, as for a lot of small businesses, brutal inflation has made the cost of food higher. I’d guess this is the reason for complaint #1. This won’t stop us from going back because of the high quality of the food, service and location, but will definitely decrease the number of visits to a couple per year.

    Service was very hospitable but waitress could have informed us that, when we switched side dishes with each other, we would be charged an up charge. We could have just as easily switched our sides when our meals came to the table for no additional charge! My medium rare hamburger came out medium well and was rather skimpy in size. They brought me a replacement (with bun when I asked for no bun) which was still medium instead of medium rare. The manager did come over and was very polite and apologetic. They did not charge us for the Burger which I did not at all enjoy and only ate a few bites.  Nothing that we ordered was at all noteworthy. However, the salad that came with the goat cheese appetizer was very tasty. If I were to return for the location and ambience, I would probably order a salad.

    We ordered Minelli's Breakfast Sandwich, Steak Potato Hash, and the Bouillabaise. The breakfast sandwich had a runny egg which we had requested to be a hard fried egg upon ordering. It was sent back to the chef twice before he provided a new sandwich. The waitress felt so bad that the manager comped the sandwich which we really appreciated. The steak was burned on the outside so badly that it was not edible, the type of burn that happens on a grill that is not cleaned properly. The potatoes were cold and the dish lacked in flavor all together. The baguette with the Bouillabaise was also burned in the same way. It was black. The waitress and manager were nice and it was not their fault the food was not impressive. We have wanted to go here for so long and finally had the opportunity just to be dissatisfied. The steak and potatoes was returned as a full plate and the waitress did not even ask how the meal was or anything. Since they already comped one meal we did not want to complain but had the waitress inquired after seeing a full plate we would have explained. Please save your money, there are so many other amazing restaurants in Greenville.

    We're so sorry that you had such a terrible experience. That's definitely not how we want to represent ourselves. We do appreciate the feedback though, because it will help us work on our overall service!
