    Was hopeful when we came upon this place. It's located off the beaten path, looked like it could be good. Place is clean. I had the seafood low country boil (crab, shrimp, crayfish). Comes with corn and baby potatoes. A tad too salty for me. Saving grace were the generous amount of potatoes. Those helped to balance out the salt. I've yet to sample good low country boil. This foodventure doesn't deter me, I'll be on the lookout til I find it!

    I would love to give a review of the food for this restaurant..... but after 25 minutes of waiting for the waitress to take our order my wife and I walked out . We were not alone 3 other tables had had enough also and walked out . The waitresses were not busy.... just standing around clueless. In the entire restaurant only one table actually had food. Absolutely surreal experience. The restaurant is in the old WOK INN location..... If you are planning on trying it ( and can get food) I suggest you hurry.... with service like this they want be open long !!

    This is an area of many choices for your food dollar. First of all, it has just opened so delays should be expected. If you can be patient, it's worth the wait. The spices and food quality are on point. Expect to pay around $20 for the really good stuff but it's a ton of food. They'll iron the kinks out but I promise I'll be back. Best bet is the boiled offerings including lobster, crab and shrimp. If you're worried about the wait, a takeout order is solid.

    Excellent seafood boil and great price if you do the daily special. Also have a good Chinese variety for the selective eaters.

Tables are filled quickly but serviced fast. Food comes out hot and fresh. Dining area is a bit loud during lunch. We ordered the cheddar hushpuppies( soft and melts in the mouth) and nola grilled gulf oysters (savory;garlic butter,herbs, parmgiano-regiano, pecorino romano,crusty bread) for our appetizers. We loved the nola grilled oysters it is so fresh and delicous. We decided to try a platter of different kinds of oysters. My favorite is the sweet jesus( Maryland oysters ;sweet and clean,less salty). Also tryed a dozen of the happy hour barcat oysters from Chesapeake Bay Virginia ( meaty texture;salty to sweet finish). The most fresh tasting oysters I've tasted in the east coast. They shuck the oysters for you too. For our main plate we both had the charleston shrimp burger(housemade shrimp pattie,lettuce,tomato, charred lemon caper tartar sauce, brioche bun). The shrimp burger is amazing!!!!The best seafood burger I've ever tasted on the east coast. I would recommend 10/10. The photo can be deceiving, quality of the shrimp pattie is unmatched on the east coast. Overall,this restaurant is excellent for fresh seafood.There is more seafood menu items other then oysters and shrimp,looking forward for our next visit!!!!

When asked what were the dishes most appreciated by customers he said the scallops and the short ribs. We both laughed that our last meal at a nice place was scoops served with short ribs... We went for the halibut, and were not disappointed. The fish was nicely seared and creatively served with peach chutney, broccoli salad with shaved almond, golden raisins, radish... (I cheated and copied that from the website.). It was a very well executed dish. My wife brought back a considerable portion for our small dog to enjoy. We had a wedge salad that was as good as any I have had. Nice touch. Desert was a single Sticky Toffee Pudding covered with Vanilla Bean ice cream. The pudding had no chocolate, yet it convinced both of us that it did have rich chocolate. It's a date based dessert. We enjoyed speaking with two of the owners Chris and his wife Dakota. Both were very engaging people. Chris was seen frequently checking on guests, organizing things, etc. They stopped by and spoke at length more than once. The place is busy and noisy, do be aware. If you were planning a business meeting this would be a good place to go AFTER the discussions are over. It's a must go place in Greenville. Try. it.

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!

Such a fantastic location, on the corner of McBee Ave. The building and setting is gorgeous inside and outside seating. Both very large areas that would be awesome for evenings out. I'll be sure to come back for that. I chose outside for the nice breeze out with lots of umbrella's for shade. I always feel cold inside restaurants and didn't have a sweater.. so I chose one of the long marble top tables outside. There is also a big tv for game viewing in a fully covered corner area. The bar opens up so it's accessible whether seated inside or out (photos). The menu has great choices. I had done my research beforehand since I was on a time crunch and ordered the roast beef melt.. which came with fries and au jus that was amazing!! I added a side of steamed oysters.. perfection!! These came with horseradish, cocktail sauce, red wine vinegar and oil for dipping. I ended my meal with creme brûlée that was better than one's I've had in Paris. It was topped with a perfect layer of flamed sugar, fresh assortment of fruit in whipped creme + a tiny crown of mint. The creme brûlée had a hint of lemon, making it over the top delicious. Austin B. Was my server and he was amazing. Really a great dining experience and with food being that amazing for lunch.. work felt like a vacation! Hope you go eat at STIR in Greenville.. so worth your time and convenience when dining downtown.

    5 Stars - Bring your appetite and your beach vibes!…read more Listen--I don't know who this seafood spot thinks it is, but they are not playing around. First of all, the portion sizes? Massive. Like "I came hungry and still left with a to-go box the size of a carry-on" massive. If your fork isn't trembling from the weight of shrimp and scallops, did you even eat here? The food? Slaps. Like "call your mama and tell her you found seafood that tastes like a hug" good. Everything was seasoned perfectly, cooked fresh, and tasted like it came straight from the coast--probably because the decor had me wondering if I accidentally drove to Florida. Nautical-themed, beachy vibes, clean enough to make a health inspector weep with joy. Now let's talk service. Our server was so nice I started wondering if they were trained in hospitality and emotional support. Fast, friendly, and made us feel like welcomed. And the prices? Let me put it this way: the food you get for the money feels borderline illegal (but in a good way). I've paid more for sad fish tacos at the airport. If you're craving seafood that tastes great, fills you up, doesn't break the bank, and makes you feel like you're eating dinner on a coastal vacation--you've found your spot. Pro tip: bring stretchy pants!

Anyways , it was not my kind of place but our friends like it so try it for yourself if you want seafood.

Hubs had the meatballs (which the server said they only had two left...a friend nabbed the others) and other friends had the moules (mussels) frites and the braised short rib IIRC. The *.frites were the biggest hits. My filet was perfect, Sharon was raving about her mussels being the best she's had in ages. I had a bite of the meatballs, they were ok but people agreed there are better things on their menu. I love that the frites come with a choice of 3 out of about 10 different custom mayos (aiolis for the fancy-schmancy). I tried the curry, sriracha, and a fruity one I can't remember exactly what it was. I liked the fruity one the best and to my surprise, the curry the least (I usually love curry, but the balance was off). The sriracha mayo was too subtle for me, I slather sriracha mayo on my burgers regularly. I have no class. The frites were fresh cut and I enjoyed them but there were far more than I could eat on my plate, and sadly frites don't keep. They have my favorite super sweet Lindemann's framboise lambic on tap; I've only ever had it in bottles before, so that was a treat. My husband thinks I'm crazy to drink it because it is SO SWEET but I love it. So does Sharon, and clearly we're not alone or they wouldn't waste a tap on it :). It's beer for people who hate beer. (I resemble that remark. Maybe hate is a strong word. But in my 30s I realized I'd rather drink a soda than a beer, except for this one.) Desserts sounded good but we were too stuffed to order any. Next time I come, I may try the mussels, or I might just order that steak again.

It's in a basement that feels like a pleasant dungeon or a 1500's rogue tavern, you know, the kind in the movies where plots to overturn evil rulers are hatched. It is a unique vibe and after your meal, when emerging back onto the brightly lit street, it's akin to stepping out of a secret place and back into the light of day. The beer selection is impressive. This food is Belgian inspired. Hence the name being derived from a mix of Trappist Monks, trap doors, and a hidden underground enclave. Many of the beers have higher alcohol content, listed on the menu, be advised. The specialty is Moules Frites, mussels prepared in various broths and fries double fried in duck fat served with a flight of your choice of flavored mayonnaise such as wasabi, curry, truffle, sriracha, etc. Very good. Reservations are highly recommended. It was a busy Thursday at 6:30pm and the place was literally packed, even the bar. The two of us were seated in a large, dark, alcove booth fitting for six or perhaps even eight. We had a reservation, so the hostess said, "we may as well fill it" since it was that crowded. Being such, it was five minutes before we were noticed and placed our drink orders, another five before our water arrived and we ordered and about 30 minutes later to get our food. In between we were left to ourselves. The service was not negligent, but it was minimal and not really friendly either. It was a busy night, so we will have grace. But the mussels were delicious. We both had the Provincale, a rich, savory, Mediterranean sauce of tomatoes, garlic and white wine. Bourdain says "never order the mussels", in his Kitchen Confidential book, but here you are safe because they are very popular and the main feature. I've probably said this before and it is worth repeating, they need to up their crusty bread game. The broth is so good and the accompanying bread just doesn't lend itself to bringing the dish to another level, but it could were it better bread. This is a solid and must do restaurant experience when visiting Greenville. It arguably should be the "one" restaurant you must visit in town because of its unique ambiance and unique food & beverage.
