I went to Stella's for my Birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. It was quite crowded with Christmas celebrations going on but the service was just as fantastic as it always is. They are always first class all around.

We chose this restaurant for my husband’s birthday. We started with French Onion Soup and Lobster Bisque. The soup was good. The bisque was a little salty than I liked, but overall ok. We had the lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo which were both very good. We each had a glass of wine, which were both excellent. Dessert was delicious. Service was a little slow. Lightening was too dark.

Second time at Chophouse 47 Place was packed on a Wednesday night but the food and the service was not negatively affected at all. Oysters Rockefeller, Tableside Caesar and steak with sides were as good as the first time. To me this is the mark of a great restaurant and I applaud the entire team for their efforts, especially the kitchen staff and Anthony who took such good care of us. A definite 10!

Our food and service were wonderful! We are in from south Florida for the football game and it’s our first visit to the restaurant. Everyone we encountered from hostess to waiter was wonderful. Our server, Thaddeus offered descriptions of the menu items and suggestions. He was attentive and personable and very professional! We look forward to our next visit.

About the restaurant

Owned and operated by renowned Chef, Samuel Dominguez. Located right in the heart of Downtown Greenville SC. Come experience our delighted French-Argentinian cuisine with a southern twist! Dinner, you will find White tablecloth fine dining dinner service or come relax and have a casual bistro set lunch and Saturday brunch with us.

For those real hidden gem thrill seekers and cocktail explorers; Entre Nous is our brand new, must try speakeasy located just next door to us in the Poinsett Plaza. A 1920's era prohibition vibe sets the scene as soon as you walk in if you're able to get your hands on the secret passcode to open the door. A unique experience aside from Maestro's.

Greenville

About the restaurant

We invite you to celebrate refined Thai cuisine and an invigorating dining experience in the heart of Charleston, Mt Pleasant and Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC.

Basil is the realization of the lifelong dream of Henry and Chai Eang, brothers who immigrated to the United States from turbulent 1970s Cambodia. From speaking not a word of English, to creating award-winning dining experiences throughout the Carolinas, the duo has married hard work with passion to bring authentic Thai cuisine to their new home.

Since opening the first Basil in Charleston to rave reviews, several trendy locations have followed over the last dozen years. Basil’s infectious atmosphere centers around a dynamic kitchen as the sound of heat to metal, blade to board and liquid to flame resonate throughout the restaurant. Each space stylishly appointed to reflect the culture and energy of the noteworthy Southern cities they inhabit.
