Because of its popularity, I highly suggest making a reservation before you go. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and pays great attention to detail to help elevate the entire experience. The food is truly amazing! If you're looking for recommendations, some of my absolute favorites were Steak Pinchos, Dumplings, and Scallops. To top it all off, we closed the evening with an amazing chocolate cake. Their custom cocktails are absolutely delicious, and they also feature an extensive wine menu. If you are in Greenville, this spot is an absolute must-visit!

What made it special wasn't complexity--it was simplicity done at an high level. Sitting with a view of the chefs preparing each dish added a layer of we'll we talked with them and the folks serving that made the entire evening. I've realized my palate leans toward something different--unique menus, bold but balanced flavors, and an atmosphere that feels intentional. Camp delivered on all three. We ordered: * Artisan cheese plate * Crispy lion's mane * Grilled octopus Each dish was thoughtful, clean, and memorable without trying too hard. The experience was made even better by Rui, our server. Flawless service--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly in tune with the pacing of the meal. Rui made what was already an incredible dinner feel effortless and personal. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

While the bartenders seemed nice, we opted to sit in one of the couch areas and the server was standoff-ish and wasn't the most friendly. We ordered two cocktails from the cocktail menu and they were both terrible. Incredibly syrupy, tasted synthetic and way too sweet. It tasted like one of those cheap premix drinks rather than a craft cocktail that costs about $20 a glass. We barely had a sip and the server couldn't care less about how we didn't like our drinks. Bill came out to about $45 with tips for 2 cocktails + tips that we barely even touched. Would not recommend.

It is found tucked behind the building with only a small, letter-sized paper sign marking the entrance. No flashy signage, no obvious storefront, which adds to the appeal if you're into that kind of hunt. Walking up to it late at night can be a little intimidating but it is well lit which I greatly appreciated! Once inside, the space is dimly lit and small, which makes for a genuinely intimate setting. I'd say it's good for a quieter, more conversational vibe rather than a loud night out. We went with the bartender's choice: pick a base liquor, then two words to describe what you're after. I went with vodka and "slightly sweet, refreshing," for $18. The bartender nailed the brief but it wasn't a drink I'd think about again or specifically order by name. Solid execution, forgettable flavor. Service was the real standout. Our bartender was excellent at walking us through the concept and translating vague requests into something that actually worked. That, plus the atmosphere, is enough to bring me back to see what else is on the menu since we made it there just in time for last call so I ended up only having one drink.

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.

I have never seen such a thing except when I tried to DIY oysters for the first time. Everyone ran out of drinks (alcohol and water) and we were never refilled.

I had the Up In the Air. I'm more sensitive to sweetness than most, so even though our waiter said it wasn't particularly sweet, I asked them to cut the sweetness further and they accommodated it without issue. My friend had the Ginger's Have More Fun, made with their own house ginger liqueur instead of ginger beer. It wasn't overly syrupy, but the syrup notes were present enough to undercut what could've otherwise been a more refreshing drink. We split the Nacho Average Nachos. It was great for picking at while we chatted and had a good concept, with a solid mix of pickled toppings, rich queso, and protein, and chips that held up fine (no sogginess). The execution didn't rise above the idea. It was a fine, forgettable plate rather than a memorable one. Good portion for two, though. Overall, a nice spot for golden hour drinks if you're already in the area, but not somewhere I'd make a specific trip for.

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!
