This is a beautiful older building right on Main Street in downtown Anderson. Reeks of integrity. Table of 6 adults and 1 teenager, and everyone left with happy memories of excellent food and lively conversations. Most in the group had steaks, either fillet or ribeye, all cooked perfectly with tasty sides. Unfortunately for my wife, she wasn't able to eat any of the sides because of her IBS and they couldn't prepare any of the potatoes without onion or garlic. But she loved her fillet and accompanying salad. I was the one seafood eater at the table, had the seafood special, which was either triggerfish or triple tail (apologies for memory lapse). Regardless of name, it was an exceptional piece of fish, pan sautéed atop saffron rice and topped with a couple of grilled shrimp and scallops. Best meal of our 6-night trip! Enjoyed a very good, reasonably priced Côtes du Rhône with our meal. Service was flawless and comfortable. Prices upper moderate. read more

Nice place, food was good, wait staff and hostess very nice. It was very busy and we had a short wait but that is not a complaint.

Think steak place in a grand train station. Friendly service impressive but not oppressive atmosphere. Not intimate but there are side rooms available. Service was the strongest aspect of dinner, food was good while in the realm of the predictable. Steak ordered rare was perfectly rare. Salad was very cold and crisp. Desert was generously sized. read more

My wife and I went there recently to celebrate our anniversary. The fast and attentive. We both had the trigger fish with shrimp and scallops. This is without question the best meal of the year. The scallops were amazing. One of the best things I have ever tasted. We will be back. read more

I don't give many 5 stars but it's warranted. Our server was phenomenal. The whole crew moved around like a choreographed dance. The food was impeccable. I tried the lamb bolognese and my best friend had the steak. I highly recommend the creamed brussel sprouts. I can't come close to describing them but it was absolutely worth it. This a nicer restaurant if you want seating, make a reservation. The renovated downtown space feels like a depot of southern hospitality. read more

This restaurant would prosper even in New York City. Sullivan's location is very cool...an old hardware store with vaulted ceiling. The cuisine is top-notch and always...always...excellent! You will love it! read more

This was our first time dining here, and everything was amazing. Our server Cherra was flawless, from start to finish. Our meals were fabulous and we enjoyed every minute of every bite. Thank you to the entire staff, and especially Cherra for a very memorable anniversary celebration. read more

Went to Sullivans for our 30th anniversary. Food and atmosphere was outstanding and server was very knowledgeable and patient with us since we had never been there. Rachel was our server, ask for her you can't go wrong. read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant in Anderson! Never had a bad meal here and the service is INCREDIBLE! They go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful time. The restaurant is housed inside of an old store on Main Street and I absolutely love the ambiance. Recommend to any and all looking for a nice dinner in Anderson! read more

Great service and huge portions. Food pretty good. Desserts are huge and can definitely be shared.

If I could, I'd give it 3.5 stars. The price of admission is not worth the ride. I've had better meals in Anderson for a lot less. The meal started out strong with the appetizer, fired risotto balls, but it took a turn with the soups. I've had better lobster bisque at McAllister's deli. Two of the three entrees were tasty, but the stuffed pork chops were came out extremely dry and the fingerling potatoes weren't cooked through. Plus, every meal arrived lukewarm. When you are paying $35-$55 a course, I expect a lot more. The final straw was the $6 credit card fee on top of the meal. I'm use to this with food trucks and the like, but not a place like this. read more

Sullivans has an upscale menu, upscale feel, and it's a perfect date night destination. We went there to celebrate a work win, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating for a change of schedule. We got the hush puppy appetizer, because you can't turn up good hush puppies. ‍ While they were a little larger than traditional hush puppies, they were perfectly done and the texture was out of this world. The honey glaze added a little special something. I got the truffle ravioli and my date got the ahi seared tuna. I'm a big boy and I could only eat about half. And while I love good pasta, I have to say the tuna was perfectly done and that would be my next choice if sticking to seafood. read more

The duck was amazing!! It melted in my mouth. Absolutely the best thing I've had in a long time. I would ask for the coffee sauce on the side. It's a little strong. Will get this every time! Service was great. My family loves it. read more

After reading that Sabra Nickas (Owner and the a fabulous Dessert maker) has just passed away from her battle with cancer, I am sure that her staff has been through a tough time and I am deleting some textual comments and just commenting on the food. The dessert was the star of the show. We will be going back to the restaurant to try again. Edited: The horseradish encrusted steak was ordered medium and came out bleu. With barely a crusted sear, it looked gray on the outside. The bacon wrapped on the shrimp had none of its fat rendered, so it was almost like eating raw bacon. What was good - the fingerling potatoes in duck fat as well as the dessert. UPDATE: I just opened my leftover container to feed my dogs, and my 3/4 uneaten $30 steak was not even in it - it was someone else's salmon! read more

Yep. 5! I came here for lunch since I was getting some work done at the cafe next door (well....down the hall). It's a weird space, but the building definitely has bee around a while and they did a really nice job maintaining its integrity. There's an upstairs level, a bar off to the side in its own too , and also a private party room, as well. I was alone, so I guess the only two-person table was in the back corner behind a wall by the stairs...but, no matter, everything else was awesome. My server was friendly, but still very efficient and FAST which is the best!! I tried the roasted red pepper soup which was so amazing, I ordered a bowl to go so my boyfriend could try it (he is also a fan). I also had the pan salmon that came with a house salad. The salad I got with their chipotle lime dressing, and it was a little spicy! The salad didn't have much to it-I wish is had more than lettuce and like, one cherry tomato, but no biggie. The salmon was cooked well and was very good, and it paired well with the Parmesan risotto (I am such a sucker for risotto-especially when it's done right, as theirs was). There was only a little bit of basil, and I was a fan of the tomatoes. Looking forward to bringing my boyfriend here for dinner sometime! read more

Sullivans Metropolitan Grill - Sullivan's special " Cornbread Stuffed Flounder" - New American Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

We randomly visited this place last night. Party of 7 with no reservation. They made it work with no eye rolling. Our server, Jeff, was incredible. I really can't think of a time we've had better service ANYWHERE in the world. Kudos Jeff. The food was excellent. Every person was pleased. A couple of us have gluten allergies and they adjusted the meals to accommodate. The wine prices were very reasonable. Not like most places. I can't say enough good about this place. A true gem. Great job! read more

Favorite spot so far in Anderson. A little pricey but never disappointed in the food or service.

Came here with a group of work colleagues and we all had a great time the food was phenomenal and the portions world large enough to share. The staff was exceptionally friendly and courteous and not to mention an outstanding dessert selection read more

First time here yesterday, what a beautiful place! This is located downtown Anderson,SC . The place is clean , the staff was nice and friendly! Prices are $$$. Causal dress. Family friendly. The food was good! Nothing really spectacular stood out, for a downtown restaurant it was just okay! There were a lot of Prom couples there last night, usually a place has to have good food and look kinda nice for Prom dinner! The pictures on the website looked a lot better then in person. I was kinda disappointed! We had a big party everyone seemed to have a great time! The black grapes and three spinach dip, garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. The pork loin was kinda hard and dry! I really felt like something was missing! read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! It's a little pricey for Anderson, but we'll worth it!

Mediocre at best. While the service was very good, the food was over cooked, over salted, and over sauced. My fish off of the daily specials dinner menu was oh so dry, and the filet mignon was such a small portion for the $49 price tag. I don't think I will be going back. read more

Excellent restaurant. The entire staff is very attentive, but I love sitting in the bar with Liv and Brandon because it is so easy and they are so accomodating. All menu items are fabulous... the chef is very talented and in time with all the seasonal dishes. We live 45 miles away and come here at least 2 x's monthly. Definitely worth an enjoyable dinner. read more

Sullivans Metropolitan Grill - Amazing. Butcher steak. With fingerling potatoes and the best service EVER! Love Liv and Brandon. - New American Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Nikki and I had dinner with a long time friend, Dan, last night in Anderson, SC. Rollins was our waiter and he was well versed in the menu, the specials, made great recommendations. You could tell he was well trained and had a passion for his job. The food was delicious. From what I can tell, everything is exceptional on the menu. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer, a rib eye, the special fish entree, and the chicken entree. Dan and Nikki had fresh delicious salads and I had a very tasty lobster bisque. However, the desserts were to die for. Nikki had an amazing chocolate cake and Dan had a yummy red velvet cake, while I enjoyed a scrumptious cinnamon roll cheese cake. If you are in the Anderson area don't miss out on this gem. read more

We love this place. Always excellent. We have never been disappointed! You must try if you have never been before.

Probably the best overall food experience in Anderson. Great for special occasions. Had my 50th there.

This was our first time visiting Sullivans since we are from out of state. It is in a great location in the historic downtown Anderson area. The service from moment we were greeted at the door until we were brought our check was excellent. Sarah took great care of us. She was super friendly and made perfect recommendations. The Bourbon Smash was a great drink to start with. We skipped appetizers and went straight to the bread and salad. The 2 dressings we tried were fresh & made in house. The honey lemon vinaigrette made a plain house salad a great first impression! The rosemary butter is a must with the bread. I am guilty of continuing to eat it after the bread was long gone! My husband ordered the Butcher steak which was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I had the Triggerfish special which was accompanied by a delicious sherry sauce over shrimp and 2 perfectly cooked sea scallops. It was served with their delicious Parmesan Risotto. Since we didn't leave a single crumb on our plates, we skipped desert. On the way out, after seeing the desert case, we regretted not getting something to go. This is probably the best meal we have eaten in a while! We are already looking forward to next year's trip to Anderson and date night at Sullivan's ! read more

My favorite place to eat in Anderson. Wonderful menu, and the desserts are amazing! Great service! Ambiance is terrific too.

Crab cake Benny, Sweet potato chips with blue cheese, duck confit club with potato salad! Yummy, every bite was perfect! Great music added to the ambiance on the covered patio on this beautiful fall day! Impeccable service was the icing on the cake! read more

Real hit or miss. And the horrible glass on top of the tablecloth reminds you this costs like fine dining but really isn't. Costs are very high and customers deserve great food not fair food at exorbitant prices. Disappointed. read more

Great food, and the staff is welcoming. If you're in a rush, order online ahead of time! Everything on the menu tastes phenomenal!

A wonderful night in downtown Anderson! The food was a little pricey but absolutely delicious. I shared the filet with my friend and we split the berry cheesecake for dessert. Indubitably the most flavorful meal I've had in months. read more

I'm not from Anderson South Carolina, so I have no idea which restaurant to pick. Looking at the review from yelp, I decided to take a leap of faith and made a dinner reservation at Sullivan's. After dinner, I knew I made the right decision. The location was convenient. The service was awesome and the food was delicious. I will definitely return to Sullivan's whenever I am in Anderson. Lastly, I would recommend the steak. Only I can grill a better steak. :-) read more

Anniversary dinner. Sat in the upper level. Service was a little uneven. Can't say they serve good martinis but heck it was a drinkable martini. Food was not especially delicious. My entree was way over sauced with what probably was the pumpkin spice concoction of the fall season (October 2023). Wife didn't finish her meal. I think the best seat is probably at the bar and limiting yourself to appetizers (small plate) items. I'll probably go back since this is supposedly the premier food spot in Anderson SC, but it won't be too soon. read more
