    End of sandwich with no meat

    Great fast easy service! The sandwich itself was delivious the flavors were just like eating at Genos in downtown Philly. Only complaint is if you are charging $20 a sandwich you have to be mindful of your portions and consistency. My sandwich was not very full at all. The ends had no meat at all. Other than that great sandwich

    Irish Pub Bowl

    Had Irish Fries /Bowl -very good. Saw some sandwiches (hoagies) that were huge ~ looked great . Will try those next time.

    I'm not sure what I expected going into this. Maybe an old run down industry hang out that reeked…read moreof stale cigarettes and liquor with everything feel sticky from years of grime build up. I have to say it's the complete opposite. It's well kept, clean, welcoming, and family friendly( during the daytime) The menu has ample options with a handful of very non traditional ramen options. There's something for everyone and it's almost hard to decide with out just ordering way too much. I ordered the ricotta with honey and pecans and grilled focaccia. I was tempted to change it to a burger but soooo glad I didn't. The dish was amazing. The perfect creaminess of the cheese and sweetness from the honey, slightly salted and the delicious grilled bread. Omg it was hard to stop eating it. I'd go here and just order this and be happy. Next was the hot chicken ramen. I'll be honest in more of a traditional ramen guy but they make these weird combinations woe. The chicken was crispy and the broth was flavorful. This balance of sweet savory broth that some how balances out just right. The noodles were overcooked for my liking but that's an extremely easy fix considering everything else was good. I'd love to go back when passing through again and try some of the other menu items. They seem to take pride in the food they send out and I can we why people love this place.

    Nice vibe but food was ok honestly Needed more flavor…read moreI don't think I'll be back unfortunately

    What a fun sandwich shop! It was my first time here and I was given a full run-down of the history…read moreof the shop and where they source all their ingredients. The staff is so friendly and made me feel like I already belonged. Fun music too and lots of seating available. For sandwiches, I got Mike's Classic and my partner got The Godfather. When we went to pick up our order from the counter, they threw in some extras since it was our first time. Such an unexpected surprise! The potato salad - wow. I'm not even a big potato salad girlie but the dijon mustard in there was *chefs kiss*. I will definitely be getting that again. The macaroni salad was also good. My hoagie was somehow light and filling at the same time. The melted cheese melted my heart. I will be back again for that ooey gooey deliciousness!

    It's true that this is the closest thing you will get to a Philly cheesesteak short of going to…read morePhiladelphia, or maybe Inky's in Easley, or if you aren't super picky, Jersey Mike's can scratch. But these guys do make a BIG swing and a BIG hit. First off, customer service. Justin waited on me and asked right away if I was a first-timer, which I was, and at the end of a quest to arrive here. And so he gave me the layout in the menu, the NJ flown in Liscio's bread, and the Cooper American cheese and shaved sliced beef. It's the real deal and it does travel well, at least for 3-4 miles back home. It's a 10 inch sub, there are many options. I went classic. But check the pics of menu items (the Mort looks great, Mortadella coma?!) But the classic will fill. And it is tasty. Simple, authentic, tasty. That's why we are here. And the friendly customer guidance, beyond any expectations, when anyone is at the counter, they are recognized if regulars, acknowledged if first timers and the center of the universe for the counter man, (in this case, Justin). And, a couple of Dum-Dum lollipop treats for the wife who abstained for today. The sandwich was a hit. It's a bit expensive, but I understand we just beat a line out the door crowd at 11:15, so plan accordingly. I'll be back. Must try other items too. Beer and soda available. Worth the trip if authenticity is your bag, baby, if not, there's always Jersey Mikes, but support local, man! Get with the Harry's groovy and tasty vibe.

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!!!!

I booked a table on the patio as I read that the restaurant was super pet friendly. And it was perfect! I was able to enjoy a glass of lebanese rose off of the extensive drink menu and my lunch was the lamb sandwich with truffle fries and a side of the brussel sprouts appetizer. Both were plentiful and absolutely delicious. The tzatziki was so yum I got more to dip my fries in (it came with chipotle ketchup that was also delicious.) The only downside was the parking. All of the lots were $10, but I was able to find free street parking after riding around for a bit. Overall worth a little hassle for a delicious experience!

We sat right next to it and it was a little loud. There is valet parking for $10 at the hotel next door which made parking very easy in downtown Greenville where parking is not easy to find. The service was great. They have a TON of wine options. Several by the glass and several half bottles, but it was mostly full bottles of wine for purchase. But wine from all over the world and separated by location. The food was amazing. The dishes we got were so good and I don't think you could've gotten a bad thing. Love that their pasta is handmade! We would definitely go back.

We went around 4:30 on a Saturday, and it was pretty dead. There were a few people sitting outside, and we were actually the only people inside when we first got there. The vibe felt like they might have been switching shifts and getting ready for dinner service. The service was a little slow to start, and the woman who initially took our drink order was honestly a little rude. My friend asked her for a recommendation, and she just wasn't very helpful about it. No big deal, though, because our actual server for the rest of the meal was SO sweet and amazing. We had absolutely no complaints with her! But then the food came, and we were pleasantly surprised. The absolute showstopper was the truffle fries. All of us could not stop talking about how good they were. They were insanely crispy, the garlic aioli they came with was DELICIOUS, and they were so fresh when they came out. I would genuinely come back just for these. I also really enjoyed the chef's board. It gave us a lot of different things to pick and choose from, and the three of us were able to share the plates and the salad. We all left feeling full but not stuffed. Honestly, the perfect little girl dinner. Overall, I would absolutely come back, and I would order those fries a million times over. You HAVE to try them!

    I love Passerelle every time I go and, as usual, this time did not disappoint!…read more We had a group of 8 plus a dog and they accommodated us easily on the patio. It was hot, but they have lots of fans outside and the patio sits under gorgeous, giant trees with each table having its own umbrella to provide shade. I love sitting here and watching all the goings-on of the park. Inside is cozy and romantic. There is only one restroom, but if you've really gotta go, they are located close to public restrooms for Falls Park. There is also an elevator close by for accessibility. Besides the incredible ambiance, the food is why you come here! All French inspired, you can't go wrong. I got the goat cheese gnocchi and French onion soup. It's the second time I've had the gnocchi and I just love the creamy flavors and varying textures of the dish. The French onion soup is classic, cheesy, and exactly what you want it to be. Others in my party got the airline chicken, which was a big hit! If you're in search of a romantic date night spot or an outdoor place in the shade, consider Passerelle!
