Service was very good and the dinner I had was great. I had a shrimp and pasta dish that was to die for. If you are ever in Greenville, this is the place to stop in.

I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly, and my drink arrived quickly. I ordered a pasta dish with shrimp topped with an egg, which was delicious. I ate until I was full. Despite its unassuming appearance, the restaurant provided excellent food and service.

A bit off the beaten track away from the commercial strip, it is located on the former main drag across from an old abandoned Buick Dealership building and where a tornado destroyed a building several years ago. The building across the street is a beautiful scene in the evening sunset too. The inside has been tastefully redone, but we sat outside in mid April. Our waitstaff was young and tentative at first, but brightened delightfully with a bit of conversation. The management came around frequently to check and was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We also struck up a conversation with a fellow visitor who visits Greenville frequently that was fun and informative. So the atmosphere was great. But the food was unexpectedly good. We shared the shrimp and grits and a Caesar salad which was more than enough for the two of us. The homemade Caesar dressing was as good as any I have tasted. The shrimp were large and cooked perfectly —as were the grits. But the star was the dark brown roux surrounding the presentation with just the right amount of spicey pepperiness that complemented and did not overwhelm the shrimp/grits. We have eaten a lot of shrimp and grits in our lifetimes and this was one of the most memorable! If we pass this way again will definitely stop by! Highly recommended!!
