What made it special wasn't complexity--it was simplicity done at an high level. Sitting with a view of the chefs preparing each dish added a layer of we'll we talked with them and the folks serving that made the entire evening. I've realized my palate leans toward something different--unique menus, bold but balanced flavors, and an atmosphere that feels intentional. Camp delivered on all three. We ordered: * Artisan cheese plate * Crispy lion's mane * Grilled octopus Each dish was thoughtful, clean, and memorable without trying too hard. The experience was made even better by Rui, our server. Flawless service--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly in tune with the pacing of the meal. Rui made what was already an incredible dinner feel effortless and personal. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

While the bartenders seemed nice, we opted to sit in one of the couch areas and the server was standoff-ish and wasn't the most friendly. We ordered two cocktails from the cocktail menu and they were both terrible. Incredibly syrupy, tasted synthetic and way too sweet. It tasted like one of those cheap premix drinks rather than a craft cocktail that costs about $20 a glass. We barely had a sip and the server couldn't care less about how we didn't like our drinks. Bill came out to about $45 with tips for 2 cocktails + tips that we barely even touched. Would not recommend.

The menu was very nice though most of the cocktails were extremely sweet.

We had a large party and they accommodated easily with two servers for the whole group. The atmosphere is great, I love the decor and the polished-casual vibe. The bar is so cool (that sliding ladder is what dreams are made of), lots of TVs to watch the game without messing up the chic decor. Indoor and outdoor seating and the bar opens up to the outdoors. The staff is very knowledgeable about their offerings, particularly the tequila. However, a dirty martini is maybe not the bartender's specialty. I was asked if I wanted it dirty, extra dirty, or "nasty." I said just a little bit dirty. It came "nasty." Womp womp. But they do have blue cheese olives, which is a huge plus! The oysters are delicious. Our group got 4 dozen. However, on one of the trays, almost all the ice was melted by the time it reached our table. Also both times I've been, they forget to put little spoons in the sauces that come with the oysters, but they never forget the crackers! For the rest of our meal, I got the shrimp and grits, my partner got the tuna poke bowl, and we split a Caesar salad. My shrimp and grits were delicious, tons of shrimp, nice presentation. Tuna poke bowl was good and the soy sauce was a nice addition. I love a Caesar salad, and the flavors on this one were great, though it was served on a very warm plate which was weird for a salad. Overall, STIR has so much going for it. I really, really want to love this restaurant, but every time I go it's missed the mark on some small but important things. It's new so I think this is just one of those where you've got to keep trying to work out the kinks. Hopefully they'll get there! I'm rooting for you!

IIIII like good food and I cannot lie…read more.... I will preface this all by saying I have been coming to Greenville for almost 15 years for work. maybe only once a year but still... I love the city and the people. Fall for Greenville is fantastic!! Onto my review -- I was visiting Greenville for work this past week and was staying at the Aloft. I did a quick online search for a new food / dining destination when i saw ABYSS... Since it is right beside my hotel I decide to give it a go! Wow, what a treat. I sat at the bar. Bartender was top shelf Ali i think... She made me a paper plane without having to look it up . The happy hour menu was a pretty amazing value so i tried a couple of pieces from it. Bluefin "nachos" ie wontons.... Great!! Scallops and bacon sliders.. great!! Then I decided to also add the Wagyu - crispy rice. Also great!! But you know what else really sets this place apart? The Fries! Crazy but here's my take. Everyone is doing fancy pretentious, parm, truffle garlic blah blah blah.... These fries had a unique slender (thin but wide) cut, seasoned lightly. and cooked to perfection. you can tell they take it all very seriously here. from the Chefs all the way to the greeters. It's like they all took Yes chef training at "The Bear" IYKYK...Fantastic attentive service. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

They all help each other out and don't make excuses. ( such as "your not my table."). This is excellent. Cocktails were okay. Espresso martini was cute with octopus design but it was average at best. Dirty martini was similar...a plus for the blue cheese stuffed olives. Appetizer of cooked oysters with parmesan and bone marrow was okay. In my opinion, there should be a slight char on the top. It was okay. Would probably not get again. The main courses are amazing. You cannot go wrong. Dessert is fair. The hazelnut dessert for a birthday person is the best and not even on the menu. The tiramisu was fair .different in that it was very dense. Overall this is quite expensive. The estimated tip on the receipt it's based on the meal plus taxes. So be aware of this. My advice for this place is stick with basic drinks, get the entrees and pass on dessert.
