We opted to go to Rick Irwin’s, Patrick Square over Vangeli’s in Seneca for our anniversary dinner. We made reservations via Open Table for 7:00 pm, and arrived right at 7:00. We were pleasantly greeted, but told that they were a bit delayed, and they would seat us as soon as possible. At about 7:10 we were invited to go sit. To our surprise, we passed numerous empty tables in route to the table where we were seated. There was an “assistant” server who helped bring water while we waited for a server. After some time, the primary server showed up, but was noticeably distracted or overwhelmed. We ordered wine that did not show up for a lengthy time, which was acknowledged by the server who went to investigate, and then it took another 5 minutes to arrive. The server then took our order and we enjoyed some conversation for a while. We were taken back when he showed up after another period of and asked if we were ready to order. After we told him that we had already ordered, it appeared that he went to a computer station and then submitted our order. At this point it was obvious that he was juggling more balls at the same time than he could handle. Following this, the food was decent, and they even gave us a complementary desert for our anniversary (very nice), but we couldn’t help feeling discounted by the late seating and distracted service. We’ve been to Rick Irwin’s numerous times and enjoyed eating in the bar. This was our first time in the main dining room, which is likely our last. We’ll go back to Vangeli’s for future special occasion dinners.

Brought a friend who was visiting from California . He was (as I knew he would be) extremely impressed. Our waitress, Charlotte, was absolutely incredible! The food was amazing!

I was served soup, but given no spoon. Had to ask for one. The salad was very skimpy in ingredients…could have had more substantial flavors than just lettuce. The featured dessert of the evening was strawberry cobbler, which sounded seasonal and intriguing, but was actually verryyy disappointing. It could be equated to a packaged Hostess or Little Debbie snack cake, that was taken out of the packaging and served with a dollop of ice cream. Even the strawberries were a disappointment. Not fresh at all. I expected more from Rick Erwin’s. Nothing stellar or spectacular in this meal.

RE's is a nice steak restaurant. The service is good, but not outstanding. It's staffed by a lot of college students (which makes sense), but I find they lack a lot of menu knowledge for a place like this. The wine list is fairly extensive, HEAVY on CA cabs--but better values are found in their Euro Reds section. Our steak (porterhouse for two) was cooked to perfection. Our sides (mushrooms and whipped potatoes) were meh--not well seasoned, and sort of a half hearted try. For the record, we didn't pay for these, not because we complained, but because it took a while for a server to get to our table to take our first order for drinks, etc.--the manager noticed the time it took and made a lot of effort to make sure we were comfortable. His attentiveness and eye for detail were commensurate with an outstanding restaurant. I'd visit again, it's nice to have a nice place in Clemson when we visit our students. It's very good--but not outstanding.

10++ - Thank you Rick Erwin’s for a perfect birthday dinner celebration my hubby, Vic, #75. We loved sitting in the elevated booth and Vic lit up when he saw the signed birthday card from the team. Our server, Cassidy, was delightful, and paid attention to details. We also appreciated the GM who stopped by to check on us & wish Vic a Happy Birthday. I started with a fabulous & fresh Shrimp Cocktail which had large prawns. Vic had the Calamari which was lightly crisp and easy to eat with a lemon aioli. Next was a delicious Caesar Salad perfectly flavored with light anchovies blended in the dressing. Vic ordered the Crab chowder which we finished every drop. We both had the Pork Chop which was huge, served with a brown glaze. For dessert we had the Crème bule. For the finale, Cassidy brought the biggest sparkler shouting candle. It was amazing!!!

This was a nice evening. We were celebrating our 28th anniversary and we were greeted with a congratulations from our server, there was a signed card on the table and the manager came around and congratulated us and also acknowledged the number of years. These small details made the evening more special. The food was delicious and at the servers were attentive enough but not annoying. We will definitely be returning.

Eric the manager and Gunner our server were amazing last night. The food was great. We went to all of the “high end” restaurants in Clemson this week. Rick Erwin’s at Clemson is hands down our favorite. You don’t want to miss the food and service
