Quarter Acre

"This Michelin-recognized spot doesn’t do happy hour — instead it hosts garden hour on Tuesday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wines are available by the glass for $10 (a true steal), classic cocktails are $8, a snack board goes for $15 per person, and a few items from the small bites menu are available at discounted prices. It’s a stunning island escape in the dining room, with decor inspired by chef Toby Archibald’s beachfront life in New Zealand." - Courtney E. Smith

"With an adventurous menu, a redesigned interior that’s reminiscent of a New Zealand beach, and cozy, dark interiors, this new Lowest Greenville spot is a deeply romantic destination. Impress your person with an order of the smoked beef tartare that comes with a real wow-factor. Don’t forget to share your lollies (a small paper bag of treats) at the end of the meal." - Courtney E. Smith

"Chef Toby Archibald perfected one dish in Georgie’s kitchen that he brought to Quarter Acre: a smoked beef tartare served table side that is a showstopper. It’s also the perfect jumping-off point for his Lower Greenville restaurant, influenced by the flavors of his home country, New Zealand. There are a lot of Asian-inspired moments, smokey beach food, and childhood memories to consume on the menu. This spot also scored a Michelin-recognition in the state’s first ceremony." - Courtney E. Smith

"For those unfamiliar with New Zealand cuisine, chef Toby Archibald’s restaurant serves lots of seafood, grilled and charred vegetables, lamb, and smoked dishes — the idea is that a lot of the food is cooked as it would be on a beach in his home country. And, of course, the pavlova, a New Zealand original, gets a deconstruction on the dessert menu. This spot got a Michelin recommendation in the awards, as if we needed any more prompting to go." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn

"Known for its vibrant atmosphere and exciting events, especially around the Michelin awards." - Courtney E. Smith
