10 Best Brunch Restaurants in Greenville, South Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Larkin’s may not be adjacent to the Reedy River anymore, but one of Greenville’s long-standing restaurants still knows how to throw down brunch, which starts at 10 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Notable plates include apple beignets, steak and eggs, and a shrimp burger with fennel and mint slaw. Larkin’s is known for reliable service and the bar opens onto the busy quad of Camperdown Plaza." - Stephanie Burnette

I am truly disheartened to write this review. My husband took me out for a special dinner to celebrate the wonderful news of our upcoming baby. However, it felt as though we were judged for not fitting the mold of old money or local celebrities, as our seating arrangement was quite poor. We waited an extended period before being served, to the point where we contemplated leaving. Our reservation was for a weekday at around 5:45 PM, and our table was located right by the outdoor patio, where the door kept swinging open, creating a chilly draft. It was so cold that the constant door traffic extinguished our candle. We ended up huddling to one side in an attempt to stay warm, as it seemed almost deliberate that every food runner, hostess, server, and bartender would swing the door wide open each time they passed through. Only one hostess showed us any consideration, opening the door slowly and carefully to minimize the draft. Our server was noticeably less friendly towards us compared to other tables, which added to the feeling of being judged. She offered us bread, but it arrived without plates, and by the time she brought the plates, we had already finished the bread. On a positive note, the food was absolutely delicious. My pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked, though it was cold due to the draft, and my husband raved about his lamb chops. The truffle fries were fantastic, and I particularly enjoyed the deviled eggs. Unfortunately, we left feeling cold and disappointed, as the constant opening of the door disrupted our conversation and made it difficult to enjoy the evening. I’m hesitant to recommend Larkin’s to anyone unless you appear to be famous or wealthy. We felt overlooked, and it was not the celebratory experience we had envisioned for my pregnancy.

Larkin’s is phenomenal—amazing food, service, and ambience. But beware: DO NOT PARK IN THE CAMPERDOWN PLAZA PARKING GARAGE! My 90-minute visit to Larkin’s cost an extra $15 in parking, while my daughter who drove separately got taken for $25 by the same garage. The culprit is Pivot Parking LLC, a company with awful Google reviews, BBB non-accreditation, and a history of double-charging and other shady practices. Larkin’s deserves five stars—but predatory parking fees like this sour the whole experience.

Recently had dinner here and everything was delicious. I had the Chilean sea bass & it was cooked to perfection. My husband had the filet and its was also cooked to perfection. Seems like no one knows how to cook a steak anything over medium rare so I was really surprised that they cooked his so perfectly. I’m very hesitant to order steak when we go out because of how often I’ve been disappointed but I think I will order one next time. We both added on the crab Oscar and the servings were great. Can’t wait to go back!

A group of us reserved spots at the Monday Happy Hour called Caftan and Coktails. A server greeted us at the entrance with a flute of bubbly. We we told to head to the covered balcony after having our names checked off the list of reservations. A bar with a dedicated bartender was set up on the balcony for us. For the $30 admission price we each received two cocktails, so I tried the Tom Collins which was yummy. The food offered was very good. We each received a plate with two jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce, half of a devilled egg with bacon, some delicious sushi grade tuna bites and guacamole with two crusty toast points. The owner took pictures for our group, and the co-owner circulated along with staff, all of whom were helpful and prompt in meeting our needs. The scene was bright and charming, with everyone decked out in flowing caftans and wild earrings. A great ladies happy hour with friends on a rainy Monday was a great way to begin the week. Well done and bravo, Larkins! My only suggestion to improve the event would be to add a sweet something after the main food offering, maybe petit fours, some chocolate or cookies!

Overall bad experience and not good food at all. Open Table asks if a special occasion and if you want to put notes and I put that it was special and the I wanted a nice table for 2. When I arrived they walked us right over to the cafeteria table where multiple couples share the same bench seating. Basically, you are sharing a table with others and you are so close you can shake their hands and hear every word they say. Not a nice table for a special night. When I asked for a more private table (or one you do not have to share at least) was told I could sit outside with the heat lamps which I said no and was going to leave (should have), but then a manager came over and gave us our own table.. but right in front of the kitchen and where all the servers pick up their food and orders, so you can imagine it was not peaceful and it was loud with shouting and crowded with employees jockeying for position a couple feet from your table. regarding the food, it was just weird and poor quality. Calamari was clearly frozen in a bag kind and the ribeye was 50% fat or more (little meat).Yes there is fat on a ribeye, but this was ridiculous. Longhorns has better cuts. The kicker was the side of mushrooms. in 99.9% of steakhouses a side of mushrooms is just that mushrooms, whole or caps, with some butter and/or herbs.. But here it is was some strange bowl of shredded stuff (looked a lot like low mein ) that had celery, carrots, peppers, onions and very few shredded mushroom pieces. Very odd, waitress said they just changed what it was but didn't update the menu which just said side of mushrooms. Waitress was very nice, but food was not tasty or good quality. My wife did not even eat her main course after 1 bite. Greenville has become so crowded with so many new people that it will probably remain open and crowded, but I would save your money and skip this place. Had to by wife a meal in the food court after, which she said was better !

Had a fantastic experience at Larkins! Our server, Phil, was wonderful and had great recommendations and stellar service. Our food was absolutely delicious. High price point but I believe it’s worth it for what you get! A true Upstate icon.

We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon around 6pm, with no reservation. There was no wait and we were seated as soon as the table was set. The food is absolutely delicious, the steaks are amazing and always cooked to your liking. I had not tried the lobster Mac&cheese before I now know… I was missing out, it’s a fantastic side with lots of flavor. The service was excellent. This is a perfect place for groups as they enclosed/clear view the outside area during the winter.

Fun happy hour spot. Great truffle fries, calamari and yummy drinks were enjoyed!! Service was excellent as well! Quick for how busy they were!

Used to love this spot... Happy hour is less welcoming than in the past. Drinks ok but not as nicely prepared. Oysters not the quality I was used to and not prepared as clean and cold. Bar staff for such a higher end restaurant needs to clean up and be more professional,,, (compare to BrickTops which is top shelf professional. Attire, service, attention.) Beat up black T-shirts and old jeans are not what this beautiful spot deserves. Unfortunately Larkins will be one of our standard stops any longer. I think this could be a reflection of new ownership and management. Not a change for the better. Other options are just much better.

Wondering what to do M-F from 4-6? Well wonder no more - you're going to Larkin's to enjoy the best happy hour deals. $5 martinis with a $12 plate of steak frites? Say no more. Service at the bar is touch and go with some being more attentive than others. The outside is lovely with fire pits, but the bar really is my favorite spot.

A Father's Day Fiasco at Larkin's - A Meal Best Forgotten What was supposed to be a celebratory Father's Day brunch turned into a two-hour culinary trainwreck, thanks to the bafflingly bad service and dismal food at Larkin's (32 E Broad St, Greenville, SC). We arrived full of excitement but left full of regret. From the moment we walked in at 11:15 a.m., the experience was a slow descent into disaster. It took two full hours for my parents to get through a meal that was barely edible and certainly not enjoyable. No wonder the waiter never told us his name. The waiter seemed lost in a fog of confusion. When I ordered shrimp and grits (clearly listed on the brunch menu), he confidently told me it was a dinner item. I had to show him where it was printed under 'Brunch', only to be met with a blank stare and a half-hearted excuse. Things only went downhill from there. My father's simple request for steak, mashed potatoes, and vegetables turned into a tragic comedy of errors. First, after putting in our orders, the waiter came back about thirty minutes later and said there were "no potatoes of any kind, except fries". LOL ... fine. My dad settled for steak and vegetables. Another twenty minutes later, our server returned to let us know there were no vegetables either. What arrived instead (after patiently waiting over an hour) was huge plate with a burnt hunk of meat and a side of nothing! This is what Larkins served my wonderful dad for Father's Day! His plate was a dry and joyless as our experience turned out to be. And my mother's meal? A beet salad with salmon that looked like it had been fished straight from a bonfire and placed on top of a bed of wilted weeds. Apparently, someone in the kitchen thought it was clever to plate the burnt side down, as though we wouldn't notice their presentation trend. We did. It was shameful, for the waiter, the kitchen staff, and Larkin's management. Any place that serves food this carelessly and with such little regard for their guests should be embarrassed to call itself a restaurant. We came to Larkin's expecting a warm, memorable brunch with family. What we got instead was the kind of meal that makes you want to write a scathing review. So here it is. The only silver lining? Asking for the check and having it arrive swiftly so we could make our escape and find a restaurant that respects its guests and knows the difference between a delicious food and burnt offerings.

Nice location with deceptively large number of seating. I had a large group and we had plenty of room in the terrace area which can get loud. The service was good and the food was fine although the portions are small. Sea bass was tasty although the steaks were apparently dry.

Wouldn't recommend this place, let me break it up: We went for happy hour on a very warm day, since we were bringing our dog, they offered us a table on the patio. It was sunny and 83 degrees outside, they had some umbrellas next to the tables but the one they offered us was still sunny so when we asked for a different table with more shade, our host simply left us he had a terrible attitude. There was a discrepancy between what the menu said and what we got charged for. Menu stated that during happy hour the oysters are $1, but they were actually $2. We were charged $6 for martinis that should have been $5, and the menu items were meant to be half price, but they were charged full price for a couple of them. Although I don't think pricing is excessive, you shouldn't say one thing on your menu and charge something else entirely different. The food was ok--nothing particularly noteworthy. The steak frites were the best so far; the meat was juicy, soft, and tasty. The calamari was good too, but there was a hair on them.

Great food, great service, excellent menu variety and great location. The most impressive thing about Larkin's was the menu selections. Very well curated with refreshing twists on some classics as well as new additions such as the shrimp burger. The restaurant was clean and modern. Our waiter was awesome and even sung happy birthday (an outstanding singer) and he definitely made the day special. The food was good and priced as you would expect an upscale restaurant to be priced. The adult beverages were made well with a good stock of high end pours and selections.

We stopped over to Larkins after a show at Peace Center. Thought we might get dessert BUT we were enticed by the Oysters Rockefeller and truffle fries - why not have a late night snack! Oh and then of course we needed a bottle of wine. Delicious post show snacks topped off with yummy key lime pie and tres leche cake - YUM!!! Cool ambiance and the staff were super attentive. Thank you!

I do want to first mention that our waiter was excellent. Very attentive and served our party well. However, our food experience was far from stellar for such a restaurant. My rack-of-lamb was supposed to be medium-rare but arrived well-done to medium. Had to be sent back. In addition, when the lamb came out for the second time, I had asked for no curry/okra on it, but instead the lamb was covered with a sauce that completely overwhelmed the flavor of the lamb. Another member of our party ordered the prime ribeye and the vegetables were supposed to be plated on the side but instead the ribeye was served on top of the vegetables (mashed potatoes) which affected its taste. For dessert, we wanted the cheesecake and it was supposed to be rimmed with crushed oreo cookie but instead was rimmed with peppermint, which we didn't enjoy and didn't eat. Finally, the manager came over and only offered $30 off our very expensive meal (in addition, to not charging for the cheesecake) for the inconvenience, which was disappointing and is the reason I won't be dining here again. Would not recommend.

Fabulous Happy Hour! Prices were reasonable on drinks and food (specific menu-50% off). Our soft spoken waiter was wonderful ! Sad I can't remember his name. Smash burger was wonderful and the homemade potato chips were the best I have ever had. We sat outside on a beautiful Friday afternoon and had espresso martinis (1/2 off also). Highly recommend!!

Nice ambiance and probably nice for a special occasion. I'm not much of a fine dining lover so it's not really my vibe. The portions are tiny and expensive but the flavors were pretty good and overall we enjoyed our meal! The service was a tad slow but nothing outrageous and it was early Saturday evening. Two of us got the BLT salad and added shrimp--shrimp was delicious but they gave 3 shrimp. I was so hungry after the meal so not quite worth the price for me but that's personal preference! We also got the Brussels sprouts and they were soaking in oil/duck fat and were not great. Ultimately not a bad place if you enjoy fine dining and don't mind paying for it!

Went for happy hour as the deals are terrific. $1 oysters and 1/2 price appetizers! Deals on certain drinks .. oysters were great. Also they served spinach artichoke dip with potato chips because they ran out of pita/ nacho chips...it was odd and didn't go together that well. My dirty martini.was so so...it was " clear dirty mix".. I would NOT order this again.. it was like salty vodka .. not even that cold and no blue cheese olives... Super clean ..and we timed this right on Christmas vacation week so it was not that busy. Just watch what you order!

Although the crab cakes I had were some of the best I have ever eaten, failure to advise that the lunch menu would not be available for a 12:15 reservation, despite a lunch menu being displayed on their website was very annoying. Additionally, charging me a total of $130 for two pork tenderloin entrees which should have only been $60 total and $8 for a side of mashed potatoes that was never served was also annoying. For the record, the billing errors were corrected quickly after I brought them to the attention of our server, which I appreciated.

We ate dinner at Larkin's and the service was terrible. Our server never told us her name and despite the fact that the restaurant was empty, she didn't come see if we needed anything. For a meal costing over $150 for two filet mignon, we were deeply disappointed as one steak was burned on both the inside and out and the other was burned on the outside and red on the inside. Food was sadly not good so I don't recommend at all. Server came to refill drinks only once we were done eating.

Today we tried Larkins in their new location. When I walked in I saw the waiter that waited on us the last time we visited Larkins in their old location. I said..."Hi! I think you waited on us at the old spot..."! She said "Yes! It was you, your husband and three young men with you the last time"! I said...correct"! Terri was so friendly and helpful. While we waited on our food, she gave me a short tour of the restaurant and we enjoyed a great conversation. This visit included myself, my husband and my son. We were there for brunch so my husband and I ordered Roasted Chicken with rice and we split an order of Brussels Sprouts. My son ordered the French Toast, Potatoes and Bacon. It was all very yummy!! I helped my son eat his food because he had a lot of food!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Terri greeted us and stopped by to chat a couple of times but Bill was our regular waiter this time. The manager was present and came by to check on us. One thing that happened that I thought was great is the fact that both Bill and Terri saw that my son was on crutches and took time to chat with him about what happened and the. Wished him well and a speedy recovery. My son decided that he was going to bring a date to Larkins and Terri told him to ask for her when he does. ABC I promised them that we would be back again and that I would try to schedule our executive team to book their next dinner there. Great service...Great food!!

I have eaten at Larkins on a few occasions while they were in their old historic building. Apparently I never wrote a review. Until now I would have given them all "5s"... This last meal was excellent. We went with good friends. The two of us both chose the Elk Tenderloin, which was a nice portion of Elk served with dark mushrooms, asparagus and a very interesting lavender and hibiscus jus. Great combination of flavors. We ordered mixed drinks which were also well done. I like the old Larkin building with the old brick walls and the view of the river. The new place doesn't have the same ambiance, or the superb location, but it is nice and bright. They also have Valet parking, which in the ever more crowded downtown area, is a plus. The service, unfortunately, was slow and spotty. It took a while for our waitress to stop by. It took while to get our drinks. We had to ask for bread. It took a while to arrive. There was no butter. Eventually she took our orders. Finally we were served. Fortunately we had some "catching up" to do with our friends and we enjoyed the conversation without the interruptions of eating... :-) I would go back. Hopefully they were just understaffed on this night.

Nice location and good ambiance. Food was mixed and Service was very slow. I had the French Onion soup and a Beet Salad- both very good. My guest had a burger and it wasn't very good. But Service was the bigger issue. Our server was working easily half the tables in the restaurant and she was not very present. The food took a long time to arrive. The place was only about 30% full. Expensive restaurant so I would have expected better.

I had brunch at Larkin's during my trip to Greenville. It is a short walk from the Peace Center so was very convenient for the theatre performance. I wasn't a fan of the booth seating as it was uncomfortable and a strange setup with needing to move the table to get in. I would have preferred a table. Then I was seated away from everyone else which was quieter but I am pretty sure the other room was nicer. Service was amazing here so friendly and thoughtful. I love eggs benedict but was disappointed in this as it came with a seasoning on it and scallions which was not listed in the description. From the menu: "english muffin, canadian bacon, poached eggs, hollandaise, home fries". I don't like extra stuff on my food. If those ingredients were listed I would have asked for them not to be put on had I known. Instead I had to pick off the yucky stuff. I wouldn't return here.

Pretty great happy hour at the bar. Smash burger and fries were fresh and fun. Funny that the old fashioned comes without the cherry during happy hour. Drinks were good and served quickly.

Took my parents here for an anniversary lunch on a Friday afternoon.. Although our waiter seemed fairly new, our service and the ambiance was great! (They gave our table complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate the occasion.) The food was decent. It's just overpriced.. For example, we asked how much the kids meal would be for my nephew. $16!! That's ridiculous in my opinion. My mother's shrimp burger also had a piece of hair on it, so she had to order something else! Overall, we had a memorable experience, but I could recommend various other restaurants in Downtown Greenville that are better.

Kiosha E.

Yelp
The service was ok. Our waitress Anna was very attentive. We had a party of 7. Our food came out at different times. The reason they said was because they were short kitchen staff by 2 people. Food quality I give a 3. None of our steaks were cooked how we wanted and tasteless. I probably won't be back but Anna gets 10 stars. She needs a raise! We still had a pretty good time despite the food. Drinks were pretty good as well.

This is our go to before events at the Peace Center and it NEVER disappoints. Make sure you tell them you are going to a show and they will be mindful of the dinner service time. We ordered the bacon lettuce and tomato salad with the addition of grilled chicken and mushroom ravioli with grilled shrimp (addition) - it was fantastic as always. Phil was our server and was very attentive, professional and personable! Love Larkins! Enjoy

Extreme Disappointment at Larkin's Greenville on New Year's Eve I had high expectations for our visit to Larkin's on New Year's Eve, which also happened to be my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of what one should expect from a restaurant with a reputation for fine dining and a price range of $50-$100 per plate. We made our 5:15 PM reservations well in advance and were surprised to find no valet parking or dedicated parking lot. We had to use a $20 pay-to-park lot across the street. Upon entering, we were seated promptly, and things started on a positive note with the she-crab soup, which was flavorful and packed with crab. While I prefer a touch of sherry in mine, it was still enjoyable. Unfortunately, that was the only highlight of our visit. Our waiter lacked attentiveness and professionalism. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much more. Despite noting in our reservation that we were celebrating my wife's birthday, he seemed indifferent when I mentioned it, responding with a simple "oh." When it came to the entrees, the experience only worsened. I ordered a Prime Ribeye, but was served the Prime Rib special instead. Given the delay and the fact that it was the evening's special, I decided to try it anyway--a mistake. The cut was overly fatty (50% fat) and completely flavorless. My wife ordered the Cajun Shrimp and Grits, but there was nothing remotely Cajun about them--they were dry and bland. My daughter and her friend chose the Pork Tenderloin with sweet potato purée. While the purée was surprisingly good, the tenderloin was overly dry. They also ordered a family-sized side of mashed sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and loaded mashed potatoes. The sweet potatoes were extremely bitter and inedible, the mac and cheese was just passable, and the loaded mashed potatoes were a disappointment: a bowl of plain potatoes topped with a dollop of sour cream, bacon bits, shredded cheese, and scallions--even though we had specifically requested no scallions. The service did nothing to redeem the poor food quality. The waiter never checked back with us after the kitchen staff delivered our meals. There were no offers of refills or any inquiries about how we were enjoying the food. When he finally returned with the check and asked if we needed boxes, we explained that the sweet potatoes were bitter and barely touched. His response? A dismissive "oh." He forgot to bring the boxes and had someone else deliver them later. This was not my first visit to Larkin's. When they were located by the river, they demanded and delivered excellence in both service and food. It's disappointing that they failed so miserably on such an important occasion as my wife's birthday. At $350 for this experience, I would strongly recommend considering one of the other upscale restaurants in the area just a few blocks away. These establishments have consistently delivered excellence over the years and are far more deserving of your special occasions.

Hosted a dinner here while in town for a conference. Our servers were very attentive and personable. The food was excellent as well. We were sat in the Chief's Atrium which wasn't too loud and a good experience. I had the bone-in filet which was excellent. The she crab soup was phenomenal as well. Highly recommend for a nice dinner out.

We loved the outdoor seating under the sails. This is in a great area of downtown. We were seated and served quickly. We split several appetizers and they were all excellent. The shrimp ceviche and oysters really impressed. Our service was fast and kind. Overall a great experience here!

On Saturday I took my niece and nephew to Greenville, SC for the Labor Day weekend. After researching restaurants with good seafood, we ended up at Larkins. I made a reservation and added a request for a booth or corner table. When we arrived, we were seated at a table in the middle of the floor. Since several booths were available, we asked for one. As the host began to prepare another center table, we sat down in one of several empty booths and told her we'd love to sit there. She was friendly, offered an explanation, and we sat comfortably in the booth. We started with a dozen oysters and an order of truffle fries for my 11-year old nephew. The oysters were fresh and larger than expected. Huge plus! The aioli that accompanied the truffle fries was amazing. Our appetizers were a 10/10. I ordered the Peppered Pink Panther, which was easily the best grapefruit drink I've ever tasted. I've tried 1 or 2 before at other restaurants and none of them were great. There was a service shift between the appetizers and entrees. Several tables appeared to be waiting for their food for a good while. An hour after we were seated, we were still waiting on our entrees. The delicious appetizers and bread saved the day. When our food was finally served, only one dish was hot. The salmon. My nephew devoured it. Unfortunately, the short ribs were room temperature at best. I believe it would have been close to extraordinary because the meat was still tender although it had zero warmth or heat. In this case, it was fair at best. The scallops were also tasty, but they were served without any heat, which made it lackluster. The lobster mac was disappointing. It wasn't horrible by any means, but it was absolutely not tasty enough to justify the price tag. I ordered it so the three of us could try it out. We each took a bite and felt like one bite was enough. Finally, we all ordered the apple caramel cake. It's made like bread pudding. Again, I'm sure this could've been a hit, but it wasn't even lukewarm. The ice cream was a real treat, but it would've been better with a dish that wasn't served at room temperature. Our dining experience for three wasn't worth the $275.00 spent (before the tip). I understand things happen and wait times may increase. Serving our food late but hot could've made the entire experience worthwhile. Could've would've should've. Three generous stars - solely for the drinks and appetizers.

What a great dinner we had here. I don't live in Greenville anymore so when I am visiting, there are so many restaurants to try these days. I heard about Larkins several years ago, but this was our first time dining there. The cocktails were great, the mushroom ravioli was so good, and my Elk Tenderloin was DELICIOUS. Come on, when there's Elk in a menu, you have to try it, right?!? It did NOT disappoint. Anna the server also was amazing!

Food needs improvement desperately! We have been on more than one occasion and no improvement. Before moving to the new location Larkins food was delicious & well prepared. Now it's just a pretty place serving subpar food! Today's brunch with the Family was the last chance! Chicken & waffles were awful! Chicken was over cooked and waffles were very dry and NO taste! Our server was polite! But do yourself a favor and pick some place else if you're looking for good quality food!

My husband booked us reservations while we were staying in Greenville. One of the things I loved most about the restaurant was that is was right along the river and we could walk to it from our hotel. I was a bit concerned when I saw that most everyone there was in what I would consider to be casual clothing for a restaurant that I didn't think was family casual. But, people dressing like bums seems to be the norm now ‍ Thankfully dinner was great, and our experience pleasantly surprised us. We had the truffle fries as an appetizer, which are hard not to love! I apparently was too excited for dinner to remember to take pictures. But I ordered the balsamic salmon and my husband had the ribeye. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. I'm sure we will be back to visit again.

Food, service, vibe and location is great! I had the sea bass, caesar salad and apple crumble cake. My colleague had the filet and potatoes. All amazing! We had our regional sales training at the AC Hotel which is right there in the same area. Chef Hayes is the man too!

The bread and she-crab soup were delicious! We ordered a filet medium rare and they came back more like medium to medium well. We brought it to the attention of our server who seemed non-plussed by it all and didn't offer any options to remediate the issue. We also had potatoes au gratin but the sauce tasted like Alfredo sauce and was rather bland. Maybe just an off night...

Let me start by saying the food and the ambiance were top notch. The server came up to our table at the end and asked if we wanted to split it down the middle. (There were 2 couples in our party). We each paid half and it seemed very high for what we got. We asked the server about it and he said it was correct. We NEVER saw a bill or were offered the opportunity to see a bill. Probably our fault for not insisting. The next day, I totaled everything that we ordered. It was $522. The bill that we paid exceeded $800. We are more than happy to pay for the top notch food, but clearly something was amiss. It was a disappointing end to a phenomenal night.

While in Greenville our party ate here 3 times! The guys went for dinner Friday night while the ladies went to a concert and we went back Saturday night for a birthday dinner and ended the weekend with brunch. Had the same awesome servers all 3 meals - Trent And Isabelle. They did a fantastic job! Also met Bruce the VP of the restaurant group - truly a lovely guy. Our party had steaks and the sea bass Saturday night and various brunch items Sunday - we saw the French toast at another table and wished we had ordered that it all looked great! The wedge salad is not to be missed. Also the Deviled eggs were ordered all 3 meals. When in town - be sure to visit and ask for Trent and Isabelle :)

Overpriced food and drinks. Waited FOREVER to even get a drink at the bar. Management and staff were horrendous. Will go to other places downtown that are MUCH better!

Best filet and seafood in town, great atmosphere and amazing bar and drinks! Staff is very attentive and sweet! I'm obsessed with their quality oysters, crab cakes, Asian beef bowl and salads. Such a great place for a fine dining afternoon!

Very pretentious and food was just ok. We were made to wait for a table when getting there early for a reservation, despite the restaurant just opening with no other patrons there.

My first visit to Larkins steakhouse and it won't be my last. I will definitely return. The service was excellent. The food was delicious from our steaks to desert. The ambience is not as romantic as other restaurants in the area, but where it lacks in ambience it makes up for with its amazing staff. And quite busy for a Monday night too.

Our first time at the new location. Older people are seated in the back (terrible view). Younger people are seated in the front (better view). We were seated in the back next to the door to the patio in the most uncomfortable booth you can imagine ... you have to slide the table out to get seated. The cold draft from the door was not welcomed. The food and service are as good as it was at the old location. Nothing above average. The grilled flat iron steak and the roasted salmon were somewhat delicious. The frites (probably frozen) and the squash were nothing special. Given our seating location and view, the prices are too high. Also, we had to ask for bread on the table. Why isn't it offered? We were very disappointed. Larkin's took a step backward.

Went for dinner. This was second visit. This time ordered a Makers Mark Manhattan. When bill came there were two amounts: $14.00 for a 2oz. pour of the Makers Mark and $4.50 for a Manhattan with total price of $18.50. Really, you charge $4.50 for a splash of vermouth and a few drops of bitters.

Disappointing experience but not terrible. Price: Larkin has the pricing of a elevated dining experience, but would need improvements in flavor, service, and overall experience to meet the price point. I would consider the restaurant more appropriate for business dinner/happy hour. Service/Ambiance: Easily made a reservation for the same day and we were promptly greeted and sat. Server came over promptly and offered water while we reviewed wine list. Booths was tucked near the back, unfortunately right by the server alley. With the restaurant being fairly empty that was disappointing but I did flag the reservation as a date. So potentially the cause. We asked the server for a wine suggestion, in which he asked did we want to try first. He initially brought out the wrong wine but recovered quickly. Brian was a awesome server but seemed slightly distracted. We ordered appetizers (crab cake and oysters). He left the table brought back the wine then asked if we wanted to start off with any appetizers. This was a shock considering we'd just ordered and he wrote it down. Once we reminded, we decided to place orders for entrees, because honestly we were just unsure at this point.The oysters were brought over but not the crab cake. We waited for a bit, (until he came back) and reminded him of the crab cake. He began to say he didn't remember us ordering but checked his pad where he wrote it down and promptly apologized. Unfortunately the entrees and sides came out first, then the crab cake, so mishap but the remainder of the evening concluded just fine. Food: 7oz Filet: 7/10-Temperature off Seabass: 4/10-Drenched in sofrito and severely under seasoned Oysters Rockefeller: 10/10-Best I've had to date Crab Cake: 7/10-Good flavor weird texture Mac n Cheese:6/10-Came out room temperature, just ok Creamed Spinach: 6/10 Not the best or the worst, pretty dry.

The service was impeccable with Phil. He ensures the dining experience is as great as the food. Definitely a must try in Greenville. Reservation are recommended to get the more intimate seating in the back.

The food was average, but I order a Pittsburg cook and it was way overcooked. The replacement came in perfectly cooked but over salted. The meat was not flavorful. The other people had theirs with sauce so can't tell. Wife's was cook ok but filets never were my favorite. Crab soup was good, out of onion soup at 630 on Fathers day? Oyster rock was average. Lob Mac and cheese a little below average. Broccolini undercooked. Rolls microwaved. Great waiter Trenton. Overall just average. Dinner for 4 500$ with tip. Will not teturn

Isabel greeted us with a warm welcome as we walked into Larkins and since we had no reservations, we just wanted to have drinks , she said we can sit outside by the cozy fire pit. It was a beautiful evening just after the tree light ceremony. Anna was our gracious sweet server who gave us such awesome service. My Kir Royale was so good....felt like I was back in PARIS! Thank you so much for a fun experience at Larkins!!!

Such a great place! Had a party of 8 and our server Bill made us all feel like family. We had oysters, she-crab soup, and the cheese board for appetizers. Larkin's is known for their steaks and everyone who ordered one was NOT disappointed. One friend had Shrimp and Grits and I had the Mushroom Ravioli. Their wine and cocktail menu is great too. Can't wait to return.

Perfect happy hour to our wonderful afternoon. Can't wait to get back and eat all the oysters they have.

My husband and I chose Greenville for an overnight getaway for our anniversary. Larkin's was highly recommended and I can see why! Everything about our lunch was perfect-the view, the service, and the delicious food. Teri was our waitress and she went above and beyond to take care of us and ensure we had a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

The bar has the absolute worst service! Our group stood there for nearly 20 minutes and none of the bartenders even looked at us or acknowledged us. We got to our dinner reservations early so our party could enjoy a drink together before dinner. By the time we got our drinks our table was ready. Dinner service was perfect however! Won't be going to their bar again.
