   A special dinner for an occasion. Thai curry chowder was spicy and rich with fish and very delicately balanced. Special was halibut with mushrooms and capers in beurre blanc sauce and was perfectly cooked. Cajun shrimp and scallops fettuccini was nice mild cajun spiced with shrimp and scallops better than any others in the past 2 years. When the wine I ordered was not available, the suggested alternative was so good, I wanted to order a case to take home. Shared a chocolate mousse that was a great meal topper.

   Steven W's is a unique spot with a very pleasant staff. The food was average however the deserts were above average. I enjoyed the stuffed scallops while my wife was so-so on the pecan encrusted chicken. It is a good spot to have a meal before or after attending an event at the Newberry Opera House which is just across the street.

   I had Crispy Flounder and wife had Pecan Crusted Chicken. Both were excellent. Be sure to try the Halibut when they offer it.

   The restaurant hours are posted on the entry door 5:30 - 9pm Wednesday - Saturday.The restaurant was closed and dark when our party arrived for a 6:30pm reservation. Another party arrived shortly after us that also had a reservation. We made multiple calls to restaurant no one answered. Disappointing to say the least and totally and completely unacceptable. Surely, if you had an emergency someone could have communicated with your guests by at least posting a note on the entry door. Fortunately, Cabana Cafe just across the way on Boyce Street graciously accommodated our party. The staff at Cabana Cafe made every effort to make our evening delightful. Wine, appetizers, entrees, and service were superb. We are most grateful for all of their efforts to assure a great group of friends were able to enjoy a long over due opportunity to spend some quality time together. We did indeed enjoy great wine, incredible food, and wonderful conversation.

    My sisters and I took my mom to dinner at Steven W’s before a show at Newberry Opera House. My mom enjoyed her filet. But overall the dinner was not great for the rest of us. I had been there before and recalled a great dessert but they didn’t have it this time. Not sure we’ll be returning to be honest.

    We were in Newberry for a show at the Opera House. Dinner was excellent. We all enjoyed our food and wine. Service was excellent. We were welcomed immediately and felt that we were the only customers. It was a great dining experience and we recommend Steven W’s if you visit Newberry, SC.

    We had a lovely evening at StevenW’s, We were welcomed graciously. The kitchen went out of their way to make sure our dietary allergies were heard. Since there was no dairy-free dessert on the menu, Steven created a special dessert we could enjoy. This was the first time a chef ever did that for us. We will make sure to return when we pass through Newberry again. Thank you to Steven W. and our servers for making the evening so memorable.

    This was our first time here, and as parents of young kids we don't get date night often! The food was absolutely fantastic, one of the best meals either of us remember in a LONG time. We did have one minor issue with a piece of plastic on the plate, but the owner made it right immediately so no complaints! would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for good food, a classy environment, and a good night out! We will absolutely return!

    Everything was delightful. However, we were seated next to a loud group of diners. Conversation was not possible for us because of the noise. We asked to be moved, and the waitress was very understanding. Then we could thoroughly enjoy our dinner.

    The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered a filet, it was over cooked and had been sliced into in 3 different times. The sauce was tasteless and more like a pile of gelatinous glue. There waitress was super sweet and I felt horrible that she had to serve that garbage.

    As usual, the food was outstanding and worth every penny. The service was not very good and for what you pay, it should be excellent. This was an exception and not the norm. Our server was inattentive and other waitresses had to step up and do her work a few times. We've eaten here a lot and the service is usually very good. Wonderful place to spend a special evening.

    Our server, Candy, did a fantastic job of interacting with us, answering the many questions I had about the food options, checking on us, and being our bartender. She was amazing. The food was great as always. Had the lamb chops and Mahi Mahi. A great start to a Saturday evening out for dinner and Keb Mo concert.

    We love eating here before a show at the Newberry Opera House - never disappointed. This time we both had the Halibut special which was amazing. Their homemade rolls are to die for and so are their desserts. Service is always outstanding. Worth the 45 minute drive for us.

    We were attending the Opera house show, so got to our reservation in plenty of time for a leisurely dinner. Unfortunately the timing of our service was very poor. Seated at 6.30pm in a difficult location regarding noise and visibility, we waited for 20 minutes to be attended, did not receive appetisers until 7.20pm and then received our main courses at 7.30pm, (for an 8pm show) . Bolted down the food, paid bill and bolted for the door. The food was very good (except the seafood chowder soup, which was tasteless). We have experienced a better atmosphere upstairs, and better noise levels. Possibly some screens/ plants strategically placed could mitigate the echo chamber downstairs. Im sure the Covid impact of lack of staff (in either kitchen or servers) contributed to the delays.

    Food was way overpriced and poor quality. Incorrectly prepared and tasted terrible. I sent back my "blacked scallops". No blacked spices. Was breaded and burnt! That was their idea of blacked. I saw everyone who was dining there at the show at the Opera house. There is really only two restaurant choices to dine out before a show. Both are way overpriced. I can't speak about the food at the other place. However, I think both are taking advantage of consumers.
