Great view of the Wyche Pavilion across the Reedy River and the TD Ampitheatre through floor to ceiling windows. Good for people watching overlooking the Swamp Rabbit trail that runs through the heart of Greenville. Perfect casual but vibrant atmosphere to go with a group of close friends and carry on a conversation. You can talk at a comfortable level... More

Ate a late lunch here outside over looking the river. The food was unbelievable and full of flavor. Split a delicious feta, spinach and artichoke dip, the Mediterranean chicken salad was the best I've ever had and the fish of the day was spectacular. Can't wait to go back for dinner! Food, service, and location all superb.

I love this restaurant because it's a great place to go with a friend and share selections from their Small Plates Menu. This way you can get a great variety of flavors and tastes and you don't have to eat a lot. My friend and I didn't have a reservation on a busy Friday night but we were still able... More

I had an enjoyable lunch here on Sat, 5/25. The outdoor seating was wonderful. The food was good. The wine list was impressive. I love European wines and that was the bulk of the wine list. I'll be back!

WOW. The food was incredible! Some of the best I've had in a long time. If you're a foodie, this is THE place to go in G'ville. Beautiful setting along the river with floor to ceiling windows. Also an outside patio for clear weather dining. DON'T miss the Fried Goat Cheese!

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend at the Cliffs at Glassy. Not only was the setting on the Reedy River Falls fabulous but the service and the food were out of this world. The menu was very unusual. We all found our entree's intriguing.

Stopped for lunch while touring Greenville on our way back to Myrtle Beach from Asheville. Beautiful spot overlooking the river. Service was a bit slow and it was somewhat noisy, but food was good and overall a very nice spot.

This is a great place with a nice little outside patio overlooking the Reedy River. The menu is loaded with fresh fish set in an Italian/Greek/Sicilian flavor. Service is very good, prices are reasonable & they have valet parking on fri/sat/sun evenings.

This restaurant was mentioned to us by one of the staff from Furman University. It is a very happening place. The interior of the restaurant is very contemporary. There is outdoor seating which is next to the river. We sat inside and had a very pleasant waitress. She made some interesting suggestions: we had tapas and it was half price... More

My son loved the pizza and our sandwich, salad and appetizers were awesome. Cool Cuban and the fries are the best.
