Amazing Cuisine/Great Atmosphere

Posted By AllisonF from Greenville

I've been with my girlfriends to this restaurant twice, and both times we loved the tapas menu and great metropolitan atmosphere! The manager makes sure to stop by the table, chat and make sure everything meets your expectations...I highly recommend it!

Our top choice

Posted By JennyBakes from Greenvillle

It isn't just that they use local ingredients and will cater to vegetarians (even for a tasting menu!) - it is that every person there so obviously has a passion for what they do. The atmosphere is quieter, the pace isn't rushed, and everything is delicious.

WOW!!

Posted By the pious pallet from Spartanburg

What a great experience to celebrate our friend's birthday at American Grocery. My wife and I started with the rabbit liver on toast points, the spinach salad with the duck egg, and the special lamb sausage...AWESOME!!! For dinner I had the Pork En Veil...WOW. Words cannot describe how delicious. My wife had the halibut...so delicate...perfect temp. The whole experience: food, wine, and service - Just amazing! I can't wait to go back.

City fare, local ingredients

Posted By dtallie from Greenville

I love American Grocery and am so happy someone introduced me to it. I recently moved to Greenville from NYC and was blown away by the quality and variety of dishes. The menu changes frequently depending on what they can get fresh from local suppliers, and you can really taste the difference. Service can be slow, but the atmosphere and cocktails help to extend your patience.

Yeah!!!

Posted By dining diva from Greenville

My favorite restaurant, hands down!! Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere! The dining room is small and intimate. It reminds me of a cozy,chic New York City style restaurant. The food is so good, that I wish the portions were larger. Service is fantastic. I have been many times, and look forward to my next visit!

This restaurant was excellent. My husband and I went with another couple and each of our entrees were fantastic! The atmosphere was friendly, our waiter was very knowledgeable and it was evident that the Chef(s) took great pride in preparing these dishes.

Great Date!

Posted By RRadel from Greenville

We have been to other fine dining establishments in town, but this venue is unlike any of them. The food is 5-star, but has a local, low-key atmosphere. The local food, cooked with great technique are just a few key elements to this amazing restaurant. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is willing to try different flavors on the classics and try some new ones too!

Fantastic!

Posted By Bernard from Greenville

We have been here twice for dinner. Loved everything about this restaurant. All local. Ask to see the the list of local produce etc. used in all dishes. Window seat is the best spot.
