Went to Up On the Roof for the view. Stayed because Evan refused to let the night be average…read more Eighth floor of the Embassy Suites at Riverplace, Reedy River below, downtown and the Blue Ridge doing their thing. The setting does half the work. Evan did the other half without making it look like work. He showed up with the right energy -- not the fake "how are we doing tonight, folks?" energy, the actual useful kind. Knew the menu, didn't recite it like a hostage. Recommended the trout and a cocktail that wasn't the first thing on the list designed to extract $18 from tourists. Both landed. When something needed adjusting he handled it before we had to flag anyone down like we were trying to land a plane. Busy rooftop, people waiting, drinks flying. He still hit the table at the right intervals instead of disappearing for 20 minutes or hovering like a drone. That's rarer than the view. Food was solid rooftop American. Drinks were properly made. Service was the reason it felt like a good night instead of "pretty view, whatever." Ask for Evan. Tip him like you mean it. The mountain view is free. Competent service is not.

I have forgotten the name of the lady who made both our drinks unfortunately. But I do know she takes great pride in her whiskey sours and with good reason! Similarly the smoked Manhattan she made my husband was really well done. We also had a light bite: the avocado & feta toast, and also the tomato prosciutto toast. So much flavor in both of these selections. So we really enjoyed our first visit both for the drinks and the bites. Highly recommend & we will be back!

Management must train servers…read more... Randi is adept at fetching drinks, but is a rank beginner as a server.... MENU specified that oysters are fried, and I asked Randi to tell me about the oysters; she responded they are fried - we both knew this. I asked source of oysters - she responded that she did not know... Randi, you are the server, go ask..... She returns - from Virginia.... OK, James River or Chesapeake... Randi responded that she did not work in the kitchen and they did not tell her..... In my view this is More of a reflection on the Management. I offered a discount card from the Marriott, and Randi forgot to apply discount. Otherwise, my guess is Oysters from James River Excellent shrimp and grits - shrimp cooked to perfection ambience in dining room - liked fireplace and light jazz We'll be back....

Was our first time here after passing it many times we decided to give it a shot. Came here around…read more3 pm and the restaurant only had a couple tables. We were seated immediately. The interior is really cute and little more upscale with a very cozy fire place in the middle and plenty of outdoor/patio seating. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. Appetizers didn't come out until about 15 minutes later for the crab bisque and a ceaser salad. The soup was good but there were multiple pieces of shell that I was pulling out. Salad was mediocre. After another 15 minutes our burgers came via a different server. They were pretty good! Not the best I've ever had but better than basic bar food. Our server was no longer to found after that. We waited for about 20 minutes and no one was to found. Overall the food was good but I'm not sure I'll be returning due to the staffing issue.

What an absolute sh*t show. We went to the farmers market early and decided to have breakfast…read more Our server was a bright spot - he was on top of coffee refills and stopped by often, but he couldn't make up for breakfast taking over 40 minutes to arrive (might have been closer to 50 minutes). When it finally arrived it was NOT worth the wait. My eggs Benedict was a poor excuse for the dish. The egg was so overcooked the yolk was hard boiled. It was obviously cooked in vinegar water and the whites tasted like vinegar. The hollandaise had too much butter and was breaking. The muffin was not toasted and managed to be both chewy and soggy at the same time. The grits were actually good. My mom said her quiche tasted like it was bought frozen and it was also overcooked. They didn't charge us for the food (before we even had a chance to give feedback), but it was a waste of time and we left hungry.

My wife and I tried out The Flock Shop in Simpsonville this past Saturday…read more It's located at 129 Main Street, Simpsonville, SC--a block from the clock, where you'll find the Flock. We had a plan to visit somewhere we'd never been before, so we wandered around checking local reviews. We stopped right in front of The Flock Shop and asked, "That's the new place, right?" This location opened in January 2026, I believe. The original is on the south side of Spartanburg on Pine Street (US 176). First impressions matter. We barely got in the door before we were enthusiastically greeted at the hostess stand. There's "welcoming," and then there's sincere hospitality. We got the sincere hospitality. Like the original, the Simpsonville location is one part industrial brick and cinderblock, one part garage with roll-up doors, and one part chicken joint--complete with chicken-wire-inspired dividers and décor. It's wide open, bright, and spacious, with plenty of tables, a few high tops, comfortable booths, and an outdoor covered patio with fans running at full speed. Our waitress was fantastic. Friendly and helpful, she took orders, explained menu items, and even gave us a little backstory on the restaurant. She also wasn't shy about telling us what she personally liked. It never felt like a sales pitch--just honest guidance from someone who knew the menu. My wife ordered a Diet Coke, I got a Coke Zero, and somehow she never mixed them up through multiple refills. I would have. I also watched the staff move swiftly around the dining room taking and delivering orders. Even the busboy stopped to check on us. The menu is predominantly chicken, naturally, but there were several appetizers we'll have to try another time. The "Pre-Game" section includes egg rolls, loaded fries, catfish nuggets, and Mac 'n' Cheese Fritters that looked outstanding. (And points to the typesetter for using the proper number and placement of the apostrophes!) There's also crispy pickled okra, which a real Southerner would probably appreciate. The "Sammiches" section offers variations on hot chicken, plus a Chicken Salad BLT and a Catfish Po-Boy, along with four salads. But the headliner is the dry-brined, buttermilk-soaked chicken: available as two or three tenders, nuggets, or a boneless breast. You then choose your heat level, ranging from none to three flames, Korean BBQ, or an Alabama White with Hot Honey called "Flock Style." My wife ordered the Korean BBQ two-piece. I ordered the three-piece with no heat. I've got nothing to prove, LOL. And how many times have I ordered a three-piece or four-piece chicken tender meal only to receive sad little nugget-sized strips that, combined, wouldn't equal one real chicken breast? She chose the Simple Slaw and the Adluh Farms Stone Ground Grits. I got the Baked Mac 'N' Cheese and Hush Puppies. In no time at all, the trays arrived. I've tried chicken tenders all over the country, and these were the largest I've seen in a couple of decades. It's also been a long time since I didn't finish my lunch. They were big, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just a slight heat and a real "Grandma slaved over a hot skillet of Crisco" flavor. The Korean BBQ tenders were every bit as large, coated in a tangy sauce that clung to the chicken instead of weeping off, and finished with a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds. Have to pick, death is not an option, her Korean BBQ tenders were better. Her slaw was crisp and fresh, not swimming in mayonnaise, with a nice balanced flavor. The Mac 'N' Cheese was good. The Hush Puppies, however, were more like Hush Hounds--big ol' crispy spheres served with a sweet whipped butter that I swear had a hint of cinnamon. Yeah...those were really good. But the biggest surprise of the entire lunch? The grits. One bite and I actually teared up. These were the best grits I've had as a Yankee transplant since arriving in the South in 1982. Growing up, grits were simply a breakfast grain--somewhere between Malt-O-Meal and oatmeal to my middle-school palate. Then somebody invented shrimp and grits, and I started paying attention. Now I've found something even more grand. These were hearty grits, served piping hot yet still creamy instead of congealing into a school cafeteria mashed-potato-like lump. Mixed in were chunks of smoked bacon and goat cheese, with a special guest star: spiced crushed pecans. Pecans! I don't know who came up with that recipe, but if you're looking to adopt me, I'm available. The chicken alone is worth the drive to Simpsonville. The grits? Man, what a great side dish to a fine and fun lunch. I know I've raved about them--probably too much--but you know how I get when restaurants serve genuinely good food at a decent price. As we were finishing up, our waitress very kindly brought us a to-go cup of those incredible grits to accompany the one untouched chicken tender I couldn't finish. Man, what a breakfast I had the next morning.
