    L* Special Villa Bowl

    The Viva Special Bowl with chicken, shrimp, and veggies was FANTASTIC!! I did not even need to pour the cheese sauce on top of it because it already had such great flavor. I had a super nice server too that helped me choose what to order. I will return again! Only negative is I'm old so the music playing is a little louder than I would prefer, but if I was young I doubt that would faze me at all. I'll return for the yummy food! It was just a short little walk from my hotel down on Main Street past the railroad tracks. The chips and sauce were delicious too!

    Fajitas
    Christine A.

    I think this place is a hidden gem, easy to walk past on the busy street especially with businesses popping up left and right. The bartender was very friendly, offered us menu suggestions and made a couple of great (and huge!) margaritas. We got the birria tacos, a carnitas taco and the chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas. Everything was great and tasted fresh. The restaurant was a bit dark back by the bar but it was beautifully decorated and had a traditional Mexican feel. Will be back to try more menu items!

    Chicken fajitas
    Kevin S.

    The coconut shrimp here are the biggest I've ever seen, and So delicious!! The waitress we had was fantastic. We also shared the chicken fajitas. We didn't finish it all by any means. Definitely hit the spot for good food and good service.

    Enchiladas plate
    Sally B.

    Tasty food. Started with the chunky guacamole. Delicious. Enchiladas were good as well. Lovely family friendly atmosphere. And our waitress was fantastic. We will be back.

    Cucumber Margarita
    Kimberly G.

    Bastian was our server, a very friendly young man. He was professional and eager to please. It was one of the best meals I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The Cucumber Margarita was delicious. They make their margaritas from scratch here, so that definitely helps them stand out from the competition. The staff greeted you as if you were a guest in their home. Very nice!

    Coco Margarita, taste better than it looks. Wow.

Recommended the trout and a cocktail that wasn't the first thing on the list designed to extract $18 from tourists. Both landed. When something needed adjusting he handled it before we had to flag anyone down like we were trying to land a plane. Busy rooftop, people waiting, drinks flying. He still hit the table at the right intervals instead of disappearing for 20 minutes or hovering like a drone. That's rarer than the view. Food was solid rooftop American. Drinks were properly made. Service was the reason it felt like a good night instead of "pretty view, whatever." Ask for Evan. Tip him like you mean it. The mountain view is free. Competent service is not.

    What a gem in the heart of downtown Greenville! My husband and I (along with my visiting friends)…read morefinally tried Soby's, and we were lucky enough to catch the final day of Restaurant Week. The RW menu was an incredible deal--three courses of appetizers, entrées, and desserts that absolutely wowed the entire table! I wish I'd taken more photos, but we were all too eager to dive in. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance: elegant and upscale, yet completely welcoming whether you're dressed casual or glammed up. If you appreciate fine wine, they boast around 16,000 bottles in their collection--so if you're a sommelier looking for a rare favorite, chances are they have it! Everything we tried was exceptional! Fresh salads featuring local greens, fruits, and cheeses, plus a rich She-Crab soup layered with sherry that struck the ultimate balance between complex flavor and rustic comfort. A bone-in pork chop served with sauerkraut and cabbage that couldn't have been better executed. Our server was an absolute pro--with impressive menu knowledge--and recommended the Wagyu steak and Lion's Mane mushrooms. The steak portion was so generous that we got to enjoy incredible steak-and-eggs for breakfast at home the next morning! A peach pudding created by their talented Brazilian pastry chef. Imagine peach cobbler, but turned up to a dreamlike level--packed with pure nostalgic comfort, light as a cloud, and ridiculously delicious. Soby's provided the absolute best grand finale for our weekend together. Thank you for such a wonderful memory!

The building is incredible and the food is a high end, totally worth it southern vibe. Our hosts know the owner and he stopped by and chatted and was a great guy! Sincere and truly caring. Why not 5 stars? Was a little too hot inside, so we were really aware of our temperature and stickiness. I get it, it's the south, but they either need to turn the air up or get better ventilation. And our waiter, while kind and informative, really pushed the booze. First the wine list upon seating, we said no wine for our group and he still spent two minutes telling us the high end, hard to find, bottle they carry. When we ordered non alcoholic drinks he then pushed the mocktails, and other ideas for fancy upsells. I understand the bill isn't as high without booze, but we always tip generously when servers don't make us feel bad for not drinking...or carry on with suggestions. Otherwise the place was great.

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 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!

The bathroom floors also remained wet and slippery for about an hour. The ladies' room had no toilet tissue or paper towels, only a hand dryer, which was surprising considering they had just opened for the day. The food was hit or miss. The medium-hot salsa was yummy, but the chips didn't taste fresh. We ordered freshly made queso, but by the time it arrived at our table, a skin had already formed across the top, which wasn't very appetizing. The steak fajitas themselves were good. I wasn't a fan of the cheese or sour cream that came with them, though. The cheese had an unusual texture that I've never seen before, and the sour cream was very watery. Both the black beans and pinto beans were also swimming in liquid. The bright spot was definitely the service. Kendall was friendly, attentive, and took great care of us throughout our meal. Since the restaurant has just opened, hopefully some of these issues are simply opening-day kinks that will get worked out.

The "thin crust" was a stale tortilla that I couldn't even cut. The vegetables were luke warm. I ate most of it because I was hungry, not because I liked.

After spending the day downtown, we went back to refresh and headed over to Coupe's Corner for the evening. When we first pulled up and saw a line outside, we almost changed our minds. Thankfully, we stayed because the line moved surprisingly fast. We probably waited no more than 10 minutes, and we even met some really nice people while waiting. Once inside, we quickly realized the space is much larger than it appears from the outside. In addition to the indoor area, there's a patio space in the back that gives you even more room to enjoy the atmosphere. It was definitely crowded, but in a good way. The energy was great, the crowd was mature and age-appropriate, and the overall vibe was exactly what we were looking for. The music was on point, with different music playing inside and outside, giving guests options depending on their mood. The drinks were phenomenal, and our bartender was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Although they serve food, we didn't get a chance to try it because the kitchen was closing for the night. Since they're located downtown and close at midnight, the kitchen closes accordingly. However, our bartender shared that they're opening a second location that will stay open later, which means longer kitchen hours as well. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. Service, atmosphere, music, and drinks were all top-tier. The only minor thing worth mentioning is that the hallway connecting the indoor and outdoor areas is a bit narrow and can become congested, especially since it's also where the restrooms are located. Overall, this place gets a solid 10 out of 10 from me. Great service, great drinks, great music, and an amazing atmosphere. The vibe was absolutely vibing, and I would definitely return the next time I'm in Greenville.
