    Christmas decor and view
    Tony F.

    What a great place to eat before a show at the Peace Center! We had tickets to the Nutcracker, so I made reservations to eat here beforehand. The ambiance and view was wonderful, and we were seated immediately. The bar offered a variety of good liquors, wines, beers, and cocktails so I enjoyed my favorite scotch. We started with a nice charcuterie board that had a tasty assortment. My wife then had a salad and I went with the minestrone. For entrees she ordered the beef stew while I enjoyed their unique twist on shrimp and grits. A savory blend of tasty and some sweetness. Grapes! Seemed weird originally, but it works. The best aspect of the night was that the show has a planned intermission, so we ordered our cheesecake and opera cake desserts with some hot teas to be at our reserved table so we could have these refreshments during the 20 minute break. We went into the beautiful theatre, watched the first half of the ballet, then came back to the restaurant to find our desserts and tea sitting there waiting for us! We were able to enjoy this repast, then be comfortably back in our seats before the show resumed. Service was excellent, and this was a fantastic way to celebrate the Christmas Season. We will be back whenever we see a show.

    Great location if you see a show at the Peace Center, you can get reservations for an hour early have snacks and a drink, and then go straight over to the show

    Usually I love the food and the atmosphere. Great place to have drinks and food before a show. I just want people to know that the lobster Mac n cheese has no cheese. It has TONS of lobster but is advertised as Mac n cheese which it is not. Also, are you a chocolate lover? The dark chocolate mousse torte is outstanding! Drinks are pricey but for those of us who don't get out much, we don't mind.

    I already felt so fancy attending a Peace Center musical in my cocktail dress but visiting Genevieve's before the show for an appetizer and drinks made the evening even more special! You can make a free dinner reservation via their website if you are attending a show. If you just want to experience Genevieve's, I think you can just walk-in; there were plenty of tables available even immediately prior to the show. My favorite part is that your table is reserved for intermission AND you can pre-order drinks/food so that you're not scrambling to make it back on time for the second half of the show. I was delighted to see my Dark and Stormy cocktail on the table waiting for me during intermission! The view is also fantastic! You can see the TD stage, the Reedy river and the bustling downtown from their floor to ceiling windows. Their drinks menu includes a full bar with a variety of cocktails, wine and draft beers. Their food menu consists of mainly appetizers/tapas so smaller in size but still delicious. The options are limited in terms of food but I wasn't expecting to see a complete restaurant menu.

    Decided to try this spot because I had tickets for a show at the Peace Center, and two friends on Yelp suggested it. Great ambiance, nice view of Reedy River. We were promptly seated and our server (Kayla) was there intorducing herself and prepared to take our drink orders within 2 minutes. Side note: She was an excellent server. Request her section when you visit this restaurant. We ordered the sliders, the meat tray, and the jambalaya fritters. The sliders and meat tray were flavorful and extremely appealing. The jambalaya fritters is the reason for 4 stars and not 5. They weren't horrible, they just could have been executed better. During intermission, we had the pleasure of Jeanette as our server. Again, great server and when you go visit, she is another server I highly recommend. We asked for coffee and she had it out to us so quick, we were able to enjoy a refill before the intermission was over. Great service! All in all, a good experience. We will revisit this location in the future.

    I ordered lime sorbet with coconut puree, and it was mayonnaise, not coconut puree.. Someone in the kitchen needs to get their act together!

It is found tucked behind the building with only a small, letter-sized paper sign marking the entrance. No flashy signage, no obvious storefront, which adds to the appeal if you're into that kind of hunt. Walking up to it late at night can be a little intimidating but it is well lit which I greatly appreciated! Once inside, the space is dimly lit and small, which makes for a genuinely intimate setting. I'd say it's good for a quieter, more conversational vibe rather than a loud night out. We went with the bartender's choice: pick a base liquor, then two words to describe what you're after. I went with vodka and "slightly sweet, refreshing," for $18. The bartender nailed the brief but it wasn't a drink I'd think about again or specifically order by name. Solid execution, forgettable flavor. Service was the real standout. Our bartender was excellent at walking us through the concept and translating vague requests into something that actually worked. That, plus the atmosphere, is enough to bring me back to see what else is on the menu since we made it there just in time for last call so I ended up only having one drink.

It's the kind of place that feels perfect for a night out--whether you're grabbing cocktails with friends or making a stop during an evening downtown. Everything feels intentional, from the vibe to the drink menu.

I had the Up In the Air. I'm more sensitive to sweetness than most, so even though our waiter said it wasn't particularly sweet, I asked them to cut the sweetness further and they accommodated it without issue. My friend had the Ginger's Have More Fun, made with their own house ginger liqueur instead of ginger beer. It wasn't overly syrupy, but the syrup notes were present enough to undercut what could've otherwise been a more refreshing drink. We split the Nacho Average Nachos. It was great for picking at while we chatted and had a good concept, with a solid mix of pickled toppings, rich queso, and protein, and chips that held up fine (no sogginess). The execution didn't rise above the idea. It was a fine, forgettable plate rather than a memorable one. Good portion for two, though. Overall, a nice spot for golden hour drinks if you're already in the area, but not somewhere I'd make a specific trip for.

I ordered the wings, hamburger egg rolls, and a Coke, while my daughter had a flatbread that was more like a delicious personal pizza. Everything was flavorful, generously portioned, and satisfying enough that I happily took leftovers home for later. The ordering process is simple--you place your order at the register, receive a table number, and the staff brings your food to you. One unique feature is their self-serve beer wall, where you can sample different beers and pay only for the amount you pour. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and a unique experience make this a place worth visiting.

When I went to inquire about doing other things I quickly was told everything else is a charge so if you plan on doing one thing that's what you're going to do unless you want to spend some money. It was pretty cool to see all the different golf holes being portrayed in different movies and having some unique Parts about them that made it challenging which simulated quite a bit of laughter. In all I will probably go back if we make it back to Greenville.

For my entrée, I had the duck breast, and it was exceptional. Tender, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of precision that shows real care in the kitchen. Every element on the plate complemented the duck without overpowering it, making the whole dish feel thoughtful and balanced. The atmosphere at Juniper is relaxed but refined, and the service matched it--attentive without being rushed, and genuinely welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy your meal, and feel taken care of. I'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. Juniper is a gem.

The brunch portions were generous (unlike the dinner portions), and the food was actually really good. The brunch drinks were amazing as well. We also loved the beautiful spring decorations throughout the restaurant. Unfortunately, service still needs some improvement. We had the same server as our previous visit, and he wasn't very attentive. We had to repeatedly remind him about things, and when it was time for food delivery, he couldn't remember who ordered what. Ironically, the staff member bringing out the food did a much better job making sure everyone received the correct meal. One thing that was disappointing was being charged the automatic 20% gratuity for a large party, even though our group only consisted of five people, not six. Overall, there are still some areas that need work, and the elevator was out of order during this visit. However, the quality of the brunch and drinks was enough that I'll definitely be back--just for brunch. And will obviously have to request a female server when I book
