    Absolutely amazing dinner!! Took the recommendation of our server and enjoyed the empanadas as an appetizer. Ashton was our server and she was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely return.

    Rick EE always delivers—great food, great cocktails, great service. Two items, however, were a bit of a disappointment this time: oysters Rockefeller were more like oyster stew with a bit of spinach on top, disappointing, and the new bread service iteration disappoints, sweet corn bread and a gummy biscuit not exactly steak accompaniments. Please bring back the old delicious dinner bread. Otherwise, good Caesar, great filet, wonderful potato gratin. And the bar knows how to prep a cocktail.

    We have dined here before, but not in a while. Our past experiences were excellent, but this one was, unfortunately disappointing. We started with fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese - a great choice and a fine start to the meal! My wife had the surf and turf - the steak was done perfectly and she commented on how much she enjoyed it. The crab cake, however, was mostly filler and mediocre at best. I ordered the pan-seared scallops with risotto. There were 3 medium-sized scallops; one was over done/chewy, and the risotto was tasteless. The creme brûlée dessert, like the rest of the meal, came with a beautiful presentation, but was sadly a tad lumpy. My wife said her cocktail was quite nice. I ordered wine by the glass from a very limited menu - I don't drink cab anymore, and the Malbec was bad enough that I did not finish it. I went to a sauvignon blanc, which was okay. Our bill - with tip - came to about $100/person. I have no problem with paying, and expect to pay, premium prices for a premium meal. This, sadly, was not it. It is doubtful we will return unless we plan to eat steak... just steak.

    My husband and I ate here for our anniversary dinner and it was an amazing experience. Our server Shannon was a delight and made sure we had the best possible experience. The food was delicious, the service was top tier, and we received an anniversary card from the staff which was very special!

    Changes to menu since last visit but not necessarily for the better. Bread selection not ideal for this type establishment.

    Went for my mom’s birthday, as an alternative to dining in downtown Greenville. My mom is handicapped and had a recent surgery so accessibility was an important consideration. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating, and assisted it making it feel like a special occasion. The restaurant is well-appointed on the inside and not too loud, even in close proximity to the bar. The food was good, but for the price should probably be a bit more consistent. I ordered a medium rare dry aged ribeye but it came out medium, and the steak along with a couple of the sides were short on salt. Still a lovely place for a special dinner, and the staff are a large part of that.
