Bistro Europa
Bistro Europa opened to rave reviews in 1994 with its fine selection of
Mediterranean and pasta dishes. Robert Garner, the local organic grocer,
operates this appealing European-style sidewalk café. True to his
first calling, Mr. Garner chooses to use herbs organically grown in the
bistro garden and locally grown vegetables in all of the restaurant’s
delightful dishes. Faithful to its European heritage, Bistro Europa rejects
the speedy turnaround of your average American restaurant by preferring
to make any dinner or lunch an occasion to relish. Conveniently located
at 219 N. Main St., the bistro offers outdoor dining, which allows guests
to savor the sights, sounds, and smells of beautiful downtown Greenville.
Chophouse ’47 Chophouse
’47, a postwar themed New York-style steakhouse, serves up choice
cuts of meat that are broiled and caramelized to perfection to insure
optimal flavor. The restaurant doles out USDA prime and top-choice steaks,
which must meet exacting standards including a 28-day aging procedure.
Over 350 wine selections and fine cigars also are offered to compliment
the delectable dishes. The alluring atmosphere is dark and upscale with
black tables and walls, and Frank Sinatra’s soothing refrains pour
into every corner of the venue. Setting itself apart from all other eateries
in the area, Chophouse ’47, located at 36 Beacon Drive, offers exceptionally
attentive service as it imitates the milieu of America in the late 1940s.
Reservations, arranged at (864) 286-8700, are highly recommended because
the wait for a table is often more than an hour.
City Range Steakhouse
Grill
City Range Steakhouse Grill, a modern steakhouse that stresses casual
elegance, debuted with enthusiastic reviews in 1998. City Range’s
9,000-square-foot edifice, reminiscent of an antique hunting lodge, incorporates
unfinished woods and hand-carved limestone into a pastoral design. The
interior of the restaurant – replete with three dining rooms, a
bar, a fireplace, and a patio – is covered with decorative earth
tones, conventional Native American designs, and paintings of antiquated
sepia photographs. The style of the menu is contemporary American with
the addition of the chef’s distinctive touches. The grill, located
at 615 Haywood Road, offers an afternoon or evening of savory delights
that please the most finicky of appetites.
Pita House
If you’re looking for an inexpensive, speedily delivered, and savory
meal, then the Pita House will be perfect for you. Owned and operated
by a jovial Lebanese family, this local favorite offers unassuming yet
delicious pan-Mediterranean dishes served up in an undecorated diner.
The rapid service is beyond reproach especially for an eatery that has
very few entrees over $5. Falafel, gyros, kebabs, souvlaki, and baklava
are the house specialties, but the menu is varied. Vegetarian dishes such
as baba ghanoush and hummus are plentiful. Visitors will find the restaurant
located at 495 S. Pleasantburg Drive, but feel free to call ahead for
directions at (864) 271-9895.
Seven Oaks
Seven Oaks, situated in a meticulously refurbished domicile that was built
in 1895, serves an elegant, gourmet Southern cuisine in exquisite dinning
rooms – replete with curved ceilings, ornate fireplaces, handmade
rock-maple parquet floors, and imported stained glass windows. The menu,
which is redesigned quarterly by the head chef, consists of Southern fare
with eccentric yet contemporary touches that make it thoroughly unique.
Live jazz and beach music flow from the wraparound veranda and second-floor
patio, into the restaurant on Thursday nights year-round. The American
Academy of Restaurants and Hospitality Services ranked Seven Oaks, located
at 104 Broadus Ave., as one of the top 10 restaurants in America –
only one of its many accolades. Reservations are highly recommended. Call
Seven Oaks at (864) 232-1895.
Soby’s New
South Cuisine In
1997, David Williams and Carl Sobocinsky metamorphosed a decrepit 19th-century
building into Soby’s New South Cuisine – a popular contemporary
Southern eatery. The innovative architecture of the building is a blend
of old brick walls and new stylish appointments, such as the curvaceous
handmade bar and the low-key balcony. This dichotomy is also reflected
in the culinary offerings of the establishment; the menu offers a unification
of traditional Southern gastronomy and modern gourmet cuisine. The extraordinary
wine cellar holds over 5,000 bottles to insure that guests have the perfect
compliment to any meal. Soby’s, situated at 207 S. Main St., only
accepts reservations for parties of eight or more. Call the restaurant
at (864) 232-7007.

with six food service ventures currently in operation. The Peppermill,
voted the best restaurant in Greenville on multiple occasions, serves
American and Continental cuisine in an upscale yet casual environment
with exceptional service. Using only the freshest meat and seafood, the
Peppermill has been a favorite with both locals and critics since it opened.

best entertainers. The Peppermill also accommodates groups of six to 120
people in stately, private dining rooms. The Peppermill, located at 30
Orchard Park Drive, happily accepts reservations at (864) 288-9320.

in your choice of 20 different sauces, fabulous salads, and other assorted
goodies they call “wild things.” The Wild Wing Café
parties every day and night with disc jockeys, daily drink specials, live
bands, karaoke, and prize giveaways. The café, located at 15 W.
Washington St., offers more fun than any other eating establishment in

outside of the Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C. The Yagoto, conveniently
