For the SPEAKEASY UPSTAIRS: We were told you have to have a reservation to go to the SPEAKEASY that's on the upstairs of the restaurant -we made the reservation at 4:30 PM on a Friday night and we were the only people there for at least 45 minutes. It didn't seem that busy so I'm not sure why reservations are required, but it's a really pretty space upstairs. It's a limited snack menu and they do have nice drinks, but my husband wanted a pour of bourbon and they really didn't have an extensive selection as far as that goes. It was more of craft cocktails mixed and some beers. The downstairs restaurant and bar looked really nice so we'll probably just check that out next time instead for more selection of bourbon and food. read more

I am so sad to give this review since is is such a beautiful restaurant and good restaurant options are needed in our area that are not chains and I hope it this is taken as more as constructive criticism for them to improve, but here it goes. The restaurant is definitely stunning inside , I gave it a star for that and another star for what their menu offered. I have been to their speak easy upstairs, which is also nicely decorated, where their small plates were decent, but they couldn't make a dirty martini, truly dirty. We went for brunch with high expectations ignoring the fact that the prices were high, since I am willing to pay good money for good food that I personally dont need to cook. Unfortunately this visit came out very short. There were 4 of us and two had to send the food back. Chicken and waffles, the chicken was way over cooked and the waffles came out cold...butter would not melt on them and the fritatta had no flavor. They were gracious enough to replace their orders (thank yoi) and my Mom really enjoyed the peach French toast and my friend ordered the breakfast burger, which she said was much better. Now for the breakfast burger review since my other friend and myself got it. We both loved the burger, toppings, running yolk egg (Thank you for using /supportingquality meat from Hunter Cattle, it is where I buy my meat for home). The bun, which I am sure was gluten free, which they are looking to cater for was like a brick for the burger, and I get that it may be needed for people who need it , but an lighter option for people not gluten intolerant would be great. While the fries were cooked well, they were way over salted and I am no salt sensitive.. .less is more and if people want that much salt they can add it at the table. I am sorry, but at this time I will not be going there again due to the pricing and the fact that even though they were gracious enough to replace the meals the service soured a little after their returns. If a friend really wants to try it, I may try again....maybe for dinner service, but not going out of my way at this time. Man I hate writing not favorable reviews, but I felt this needed to be said read more

A fabulous new restaurant in downtown Bluffton! The whole menu is gluten free, but you would never know it. The food is delicious and very fresh. The flavors of everything we tried were amazing and there was so much more on the menu I wanted to try. The greens were fresh as can be and they meats are local. I ordered the chicken and it was so tender and flavorful. The drink menu was exquisite and I'd love to go to the speakeasy sometime. The service was impeccable. Highly attentive and helpful. read more

Finally a cool moderm hip restaurant with a great vibe . Came here with my Girlfriend tonight and I saw lots of bad reviews so I was a bit worried. As a former business owner there will always be some opening kinks too get figured out but complainers will always be complainers. Love the Gluten Free since I have recently had too become Gluten Free due horrible allergies to Gluten. Everything my gf and I had was excellent flavor and tasty . I had the Gin Basil Cocktail and it was so fresh and delicious, highly recommend. We shared 3 apps, Carrotts , Beef Dip and Crab dip .. Yummmy to everyone. Very unique . We also had the trout and it was fantastic. Only thing I would recommend is making the Speakeasy more available. Several people I know said they could not get into the Speakeasy and even tried booking it online and could not. Other than that , Excellent place and Beautiful Decor read more

This place was out of this world. We are visiting from Philadelphia and wanted to check the restaurant out and we were blown away. The food was so good. The cocktails were even better. Care was put into every single item served to us and we were so thrilled to visit. Great spot read more

A restaurant that takes food allergies seriously is so hard to find. The happy hour menu is great and I love seeing new things to try on the menu. We've had friendly service every time we come here! The atmosphere is 10/10, prettiest restaurant in Bluffton. I'm so happy I can safely enjoy gluten free meals here! read more

Bluffton just got itself a secret worth spilling -- this speakeasy is the real treat. From the moment you slip inside, it feels like you've ducked into your own little hideaway. The music hums at that perfect "I can still hear you" level, the lighting is moody without trying too hard, and the whole place has that wink‑wink charm. The cheeky small plates? Total scene‑stealers. Fun, clever, snackable -- the kind of bites you keep reaching for even while you're mid‑story. The bar is shaking up colorful twists on the classics, each one tasting like the bartender knew exactly what you needed before you did. Staff is bright, quick, and genuinely into what they're doing, which makes the whole experience feel even more alive. For a spot that's only been open a few weeks, it's already carved out a bold little detour from the Bluffton norm. We loved the speakeasy side of things, and now we're counting down until we can sit down for a full dinner in the restaurant next. read more

Beautiful building. Very nicely appointed. Parking is very limited. We had good service. But food was pricey and limited selection. Drinks were good. But the noise in the dining room was EXTREMELY LOUD! Could not hardly hold a conversation. Food was ok but it was a little disappointing. Will probably give it a second chance before I take it off the list. read more

We had a party of eight visit the upstairs speakeasy last night to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing, especially given the price point and expectations for a place like this. Our reservation was for 7:30, but our table was not ready when we arrived. It seemed as though management was not prepared for our reservation. We were told to wait by the bar and grab drinks in the meantime, but the bartender showed very little interest in serving our group. Once we were finally seated, the service did not improve. We were there for about an hour and a half, and everyone in our party only received two drinks. Our first round alone took at least 30 minutes to arrive. I ordered the mezcal cocktail, which is supposed to come with a unique presentation that is part of the experience. Unfortunately, our server seemed completely uninterested in providing that experience, which was disappointing. At one point, instead of bringing our drinks, staff attempted to bring us food we had never ordered. We had already eaten at another location and were only there for drinks and the birthday celebration. On top of the service issues, we were not impressed with the cocktails themselves. The speakeasy also was not busy -- aside from our table, there were only a few people sitting at the bar -- so it was difficult to understand why service was so slow. We are not a group that typically complains, and everyone in our party lives in Bluffton. We understand that restaurants have off nights, but when cocktails are priced at this level, there is a reasonable expectation for both the drinks and the service to match. What was most disappointing was that there was no apology or acknowledgment from management despite the issues throughout the evening. We chose the speakeasy specifically to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday and were looking forward to a fun, memorable experience. Unfortunately, it ended up being memorable for the wrong reasons. read more

I visited Greenhouse with two friends and unfortunately the meal fell far below expectations. We ordered several appetizers and two main dishes, and nearly everything was either overly salty, overcooked, or poorly balanced. The Kale salad was so heavily dressed with vinegar it was difficult to eat. The fried snapper was served over peaches that were underripe and hard. My burger was ordered medium but arrived well‑done. The staff was polite, but the food quality and execution were consistently sub‑par. The building's exterior is beautiful, but once inside, the atmosphere shifts to more of a cafeteria feel -- loud, echoing, and dominated by artificial greenery covering the ceiling and bar. With the high ceilings, the noise level made conversation a challenge. Overall, the meal and ambiance didn't match the price point or the promise of the exterior. read more

We went for brunch and had high expectations. The building is beautiful and the inside is lovely. Didn't realize it's all gluten free food. None of us really liked our meals Bland food. French toast was dry and tasteless. If you're on a gluten free diet then you'll be happy. Really needs more variety to cater to a wider audience. Service was good. read more

Atmosphere. A $600 bill for 6 people should get you a feeling of satisfaction. The noise level was awful. Never going back

Imran waited on us and was great and recommended some of the best selling small plates. We highly recommend the Thai Coconut Clams. Also had the Kale Salad. We had the trout for our large plate and enjoyed that too. Shared everything and satisfied.Also had two of the fun cocktails and vanilla cheesecake. Definitely would go again and want to try the Speakeasy. Beautiful interior. People complained on loud. You are officially OLD. read more

Had reservations at 6 or so, couldn't find a parking place and had to walk in the rain. The place looks great, but the noise was too loud to talk across the table. New waitress had trouble with the orders, but only one came out incorrectly. The food was adequate, but expensive for the portions. My guess is we will maybe try the speakeasy, but doubt we will go back to the main restaurant, just too loud. read more

Great service from Imran. Thai clams appetizer was very good. Kale salad fresh. A nice trout entree. Beautiful restaurant as well. read more

We were very excited to go because the food and drinks looked good. We got our drinks and they were delicious, a little pricey for what it's worth but that's okay. The crab dip was good, perfect for two people, definitely not three. We got our entrees and the first thing I noticed was that my burger was so small. For $20+ was wild to me. I asked for it medium rare it came medium well, it was extremely dry. They need a bigger patty, I usually eat half a burger and I'm full off of that. The fries seemed old because they were pretty hard to chew on. We were in and out less than an hour. The trout also seemed to be lacking quite a bit. The lemon and the char gave the trout all its flavor, it needs sides. We will come back for the speakeasy and see what that menu entails and try the food then. Very disappointing for the price as of right now. Will update in the future. ALSO EXTREMELY LOUD INSIDE!! (We went at 5:30 on a Monday and they weren't packed yet) read more

We were excited to finally try this new beautiful restaurant. It was our surprise that we were able to get in on a Friday night on short notice but we were able to get a reservation for 4. Our table was right at the front door, which wasn't ideal but we made the most of it. Our server was pleasant, but it was hard to hear him because the dining room was crowded and very loud. We went there to try their signature cocktails and they seemed to take pride on the drinks and they were okay. I actually had to change mine, it wasn't balanced well like they claimed it would be. The food was delicious, a bunch of the snack plates and the shareables. I would give it another try, however, I think I would like to see more choices and perhaps try the speakeasy. read more

I have dined in twice at Greenhouse, both times for brunch. I'm more of a classic breakfast person, so that's what I ordered. The food was delicious on both occasions. The service was exceptional on my most recent visit. Our server, Jordan, was amazing! Great sense of humor!! She was willing to take pictures for us made the entire experience very enjoyable! read more

Long story short , if it wasn't for Imran would not be back. The manager was rude. We had a reservation and our friends from out of state were running 15 minutes late due to traffic. We were told we needed to leave the bar and go to our table, for 15 minutes? Too many great restaurants in the area we spent well over 500 dollars tonight. Food okay, drinks are good,Imran made the evening, you have a keeper in him! With so many restaurants to choose from it's the little things that can make or break you. Watch how you interact with your paying customers or you won't have any. read more

First bar service was amazing. Clay and Hannah were a pleasure to talk to and service was top notch. Food was marginal- I paid $25 for a cheeseburger and it was just ok. My friend had the pork and it was cold. It's a very noisy restaurant. I would go back to sit at the bar and have a drink. read more

We went to Greenhouse with high hopes. Bar is beautiful and restaurant is pretty. We ordered 5 items from the shareables menu. All were less than average, disappointing and pricey. Our server was great, but beyond that, we wouldn't return. Maybe for a drink at the bar, but not the food. read more

I really wanted to like Greenhouse, but the experience fell short. We had a reservation for the speakeasy and showed up in the rain, only to walk up two flights of stairs and be told we had to go back downstairs to check in at the main restaurant. What made it worse was that the staff upstairs refused to simply call the hostess to let them know we had arrived. There's a point where "protocol" shouldn't override basic customer service. Turning guests away in that situation, especially in bad weather, just isn't a great look. The one bright spot: the cocktails. They were genuinely well-made and honestly the only reason this isn't a lower rating. Overall, the concept has potential, but the execution--especially on the service side--needs serious improvement. read more

The food we ordered was excellent and would definitely go again. service was also very good. like most new places it was so noisy you could barely hear the other dinner guest. The only critique I have and remember it wasn't officially opened was that two of the menu items we ordered were already sold out. I liked that they had such an extensive gluten-free menu. And yet the choices for others were still very interesting. I think they will do very well. And will definitely go again. read more
