1. IMO…this forum needs some negativity once in a while. All of the positivity all of the time with making Greenville look like the perfect Utopia is honestly boring and makes me feel like I need to b

The Teal clad building at N. Main and E. North will soon get a new façade. It will go before DRB next month.  They informally reviewed it today.  Top two floors will have windows for a change.

Seriously?? First of all, what is the City supposed to do to ensure a business succeeds? Some are thriving and some do not make it....that is called capitalism. If downtown was dirty, crime ridden, or

Heard from a pretty reliable source Darling Oyster House in Charleston was looking for a spot in Greenville, along with another Charleston restaurant I can't remember the name of right now.

Apprently O-ku from Charleston is opening in the Camperdown development somewhere. Not sure if that's the place you were thinking of...

Does this mean we are past the issues that some downtown restaurants have reported?   I remember articles about there not being enough people to staff all the restaurants.  I love seeing our restaurant scene flourish.  I hope we never hit a saturation point.

Organic Cat Cafe closing on Sunday. Apparently they're moving to Atlanta. 

They found some pretty good locations while in town.  I wondered how they would generate enough revenue to stick around.  Best of luck to them in ATL.  Anyone know who might be moving into their spot in the west end?

Scott Burgess, Lance Byars and Hector Mendoza of Colliers International represented Poinsett Plaza LLC in the lease of 3,700 square feet of retail space at 104 S. Main St., Greenville, to Maestro Bistro & Dinner Club LLC.

Looking forward to this one - https://greenvillejournal.com/eat-drink/2020s-most-highly-anticipated-restaurants/

Quote

Chef Samuel Dominguez, formerly executive chef of Hall’s Chophouse, Breakwater, and Rick Erwin’s Nantucket, is keeping this new project vague on details, but he is channeling his passion for cooking into his own restaurant now. The address announced Jan. 2 is the former Famous Toastery location (formerly Two Chefs) in Poinsett Plaza between Nose Dive Gastropub and TD Bank. Demo has begun, and the space will be under construction through January with the goal of providing a unique dining experience for all Upstate foodies.

Urban Wren opens Thursday 3/5

Urban Wren opens Thursday at 116 N. Markley St. Suite 102, and with it, the owners hope will open a whole new way of experiencing wine and food in Greenville.

The menu, which at the time of publishing remained secret, is a mix of global flavors and local produce that offers sense of place, Montgomery said, but also perfect pairing for the restaurant’s beverage menu. That menu includes more than 3,000 bottles of wine (the most expensive being $15 at the moment) and 45 wines available by the glass, ranging from $7 to $21.

Food here will follow a similarly off-the-beaten path, but approachable focus, Montgomery said. The chef promised dishes that are “whimsical” and flavor combinations that challenge standard notions.

Expect locally-sourced ingredients (the restaurant has formed a partnership with Mill Village Farms) and global flavors — Northern African, Thai, Latin American, Northern Europe, Ethiopian.

The main menu will consist of around 30 dishes — small plates, a few entrees and some eclectic desserts.

On board is executive chef Taylor Montgomery, who replaces the original chef team of Dean and Nicole Thomas. Montgomery comes with over two decades of culinary experience, most recently in the private sector, but he is keen on bringing familiar ingredients into a new realm of flavor.

$15 bottles?! :sick::lol:

I think Vicupstate meant $400. :lol:

That menu includes more than 3,000 bottles of wine (the most expensive being $400 and most ranging from $40 - $80) and 45 wines available by the glass, ranging from $7 to $21.
