   We’ve been going to Larkins on occasion for years. We’ve never had a bad meal until today. It was Mother’s Day and evidently the regular chef or somebody didn’t come to work because the food was bland and we were extremely disappointed.

   This was my second and last visit ever to Larkin. At my first my steak arrived stone cold. The replacement however was very good, but the first steak must have been left on the pass for some time. On our second after some confusion on our table by the hostess who seemed to be having issues with her tablet we were seated and offered water and the menus. After about 5 minutes our waitress arrived and our drinks order with an appetizer were taken. It took 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive I am not sure what the service bar was doing, but they seemed to be taking their time. When our drinks arrived we placed our order for our entrees. About 15 minutes later, eg 30 minutes after our order went in our appetizer arrived. Simple fried calamari and no reason for the delay/wait time. Then the long wait started and after over an hour, and some strong words with the manger our entrees finally arrived. While both the steak and the fish were very well cooked , the extended delay spoilt the whole evening. Apparently they had a 12 top and a 20 top and that threw the kitchen, but I think they are covering too many tables with a small grill kitchen and too few staff. In fairness they did comp the entrees but never chancing Larkin again. Plenty of other good restaurants in Greenville.

   It was an amazing experience from the service to the food, and extra attention was given to make our graduation celebration special!

   Very nice location in modern area of downtown Greenville. We had a great business dinner with plenty of energy, but still moderate enough to have some good conversations. The food was great.

   Our waiter, Phil, was knowledgeable and personable and spent as much time with us as we required.

    I did not like food, shrimps and grits SO salty, impossible to eat, by the third bite you can not eat more. Oysters Rockefeller a lot of spinach that the Oyster disappear, you can not taste it l, you cannot find it. Dishes are too simple nothing special or unique. But quite expensive.
