18 Best Greenville, South Carolina, Restaurants | Eater Carolinas

"Chef Joe Cash’s resume includes time in New York City at Per Se, but when he returned to Greenville to open his fine dining restaurant, Scoundrel, he garnered a ton of attention, including a semi-finalist nomination by the James Beard Foundation. Classically built dishes fill the menu, including Caesar salad with celery root, a stellar whole fish, glazed mussel toast, and his grandmother’s cocoa powder layer cake. The sauced duck is not to be missed, and a quarterly, ticketed dinner called Friends in Mischief brings notable chefs to Greenville for two nights of collaborative menus. Scoundrel recently announced a second-story private dining space, also facing Main Street. It’s beautifully appointed, and the French-leaning interiors can include an overnight for two." - Stephanie Burnette

Food and service here are both top notch. ‘The escargot and Caesar salad were both delicious. The steak and frites were cooked perfectly and didn’t disappoint. To finish, the croissant dessert was amazing—flaky, sweet, and definitely something you don’t want to miss. Scoundrel will be on our “night out” list. Note: be sure to make reservations, this is a popular spot.

This restaurant seems to be a favorite for many, and while there were definitely some high points, my experience didn’t quite match the level of praise it often receives. The service was friendly and welcoming, especially at the beginning of the evening. Toward the end, getting attention became a bit harder, but overall, the staff was professional and pleasant. The ambiance is lively and energetic—great for a night out with friends. That said, it can get quite loud, and the lighting was a bit too dim for my taste (something personal). It made it hard to appreciate the presentation of the dishes fully. We tried a variety of items to get a complete feel for the menu. The beef tartare was excellent—fresh and nicely balanced. The broiled oysters were flavorful and had a nice Italian influence. Based on other reviews, the steak and potatoes I had high hopes for were fine, but didn’t really stand out. My spouse’s roasted chicken with gnocchi was decent but slightly unbalanced, though a bit heavy. Overall, there were enjoyable elements, and I can see why it might appeal to many. I don’t think I’d return. The service and setting were solid, even if the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

I’ll be back with details! But suffice to say it was worth the hype!! Edit: This was a fantastic experience. It’s definitely somewhere I wish I was wealthy enough to enjoy more! (Yes, it’s costly, but they do happy hour specials that would make it more feasible for us peasants on the regular. ) The quality is represented in the pricing and the quantity is comparable to the quality expectations for the price point. That being said - please split the deviled blue crab into two shells, same weight and it will make the diner feel like they’re getting more bang for their buck! Same for the baguette - two for the price, which can be achieved by slightly shrinking their size or reducing the price $2-4. Every bite was tasty, I don’t think we truly had a single complaint about the experience that would keep any of us from returning! The drinks were great, the service was fab (though we did have two dishes taken before we were done with them, training your employees to ask would eliminate that issue), overall I would recommend Scoundrel for special occasions or when you don’t have a budget!!

Great experience at a high end restaurant. The ambiance is well suited for an evening dinner out, comfy seating and good lighting. Dress casual, most men had collarded shirts and pants. Our waiter, Kai was very attentive and the other staff would come by and pick up finished dishes and refill water. We had a Caesar salad to start, it was one of the best I have had. The dressing was on point so good, crouton crumbles and a mountain of fine parmesan on top. It was a good portion for 3 to share. For dinner we ordered the fish of the day "poisson pour duex". 22 Oz of two full filets of white fish baked skin some up over an amazing sauce with small potatoes and clams. We ate the skin with the meat, adding a crunchy taste to the fish. No bones , easy to eat. We ordered also the steak frites, 8 Oz collette. It was perfectly cooked medium rare and very tender. The gravy was perfect to dip the steak and the crisp fries. Overall, for the price, very impressed with quality, and quantity of food. It is expensive, the fish was $110, steak $38, large salad $18, and we had drinks, $14 Basil Hayden whiskey and a $17 La vie en peche mixed drink. $235 tab for 3, plus tip. I do want to go back and try a few other dishes, you should give it a try as well.

We had a wonderful dinner for my birthday! The yellowfin tuna carpaccio was surprisingly delicious and the beef tartare was superb. Our waiter gave us a piece of cake because of my birthday! Super nice service!

Only my second time visiting but I make a point to come here when I’m visiting family. The food is sublime: the Caesar salad is the most important one you’ll ever eat. Colin’s baguette is a must to sop up all the delicious sauces that accompany the meals. Each time I’ve ordered the coulotte et frites I dig in before I can snap a pic! The food menu is delightful, the drinks menu is comprehensive, and the wine list is fantastic. If you leave this place in a bad mood it’s on you, Scoundrel is designed to make a person happy. The service is attentive but not overbearing. Truly a “teamwork makes the dream work” kind of place. They’re all quite knowledgeable, professional, and give great wine pairings. I feel welcomed to be there, I’m happy to spend my time there and the staff appear to be happy with me! Good vibes all around. There are so many seating choices: cafe tables out front; a small lounge; a couple of low bar tables; a long bar; and banquet seating along the main room. Make a reservation as the dining room isn’t huge, you’ll be glad you secured a spot.

Tomahawk ribeye and the steak frites were to die for. The tableside beef tartare was amazing as well. Great service and atmosphere.

Looking for luxury French dining experience this is it every bite was amazing we were Refer by hunter the server that works at between the trees you definitely need reservations it’s usuallyBook up so plan ahead 🤩 service was fast and and friendly and efficient its pricey but the Creme brûlée hands down was the best one in town I forgot to share this with my husband lol once I took first bite I could not stop eating it setting was small but perfect for intimate dinner or birthday dinner they also had a full bar which we enjoy everything was well balance we park in garage near the blues club and walked over. It was a perfect day to take a walk downtown just a few blocks. It’s in middle of everything definitely will be returning

Wowowowowow! This place is amazing! Came here with the girlfriend, we ordered the Tomahawk Ribeye, and have the duck fat fries to be our appetizer (they come with the meal). Fries were copper crisp without being burnt, and were packed full of flavor. The salad was perfect; the broccoli rabe was creamy and a little cheesy without being goopy or heavy. And the steak? The best steak of my life by far. Succulent, well flavored, nicely seasoned without ruining the natural flavor, cooked exactly right, and not too fatty either. Crème Brûlée for dessert defined "on point". Be aware, the decor in one bathroom is slightly racy. Cannot recommend Scoundrel enough! J.Ja

So I loved the vibe here pretty modern decor, cool French music and overall French motif. Service is fantastic very attentive and they made good suggestions. So I have had a variety of foods but never escargot or foie gras.. I had the opportunity to try both.as my party ordered both as an appetizer. So the escargot is just not for me ...but my friends loved it. The foie gras was good....just not my thing. The French fries --- were okay....again. I did not think they were that much better than some other places . (Just sayin) The Scottish salmon was delicious very different than how I am used to it being prepared My friends had the fish special which was a whole fish with shrimp and was quite a lot of meat. This was a lot even for two people.. I had a taste and fltl that it was okay... So if you like French food this may be a great place for you. I learned that French food ....may not be for me .. but that is ok. Also check out the bathrooms.. they are unisex and one is "quite " scandalous..

5 star cuisine with 2 star service. I wish the service level matched what the Chef was pushing out of the kitchen. We had to wait for just about everything. From cocktails refills, entree ordering and worst of all the check and to have the check picked up. It was so bad that another server noticed how long we were waiting that they ended up asking us if she can run it for us. The server never came over to us once we had our entree's to ensure everything was good (Our server was basically non existent). As the waiter brought us our check, they apologized and said they had a private party in the back room they were taken care of. As much as I appreciate the explanation, it should have never have been that way. When you're spending $150-$200 pp, the service should be equally amazing to the food. Especially for the price in which you're paying. On to the positives... The food that came out the of the kitchen was tremendous. We started with Escargot and the table side Tartare. Followed by the tomahawk for 2 which was perfectly cooked. The sides that came with the steak were excellent. The simple garden salad was anything but simple and broccoli rabe was very tasty. I'm saddened that such a great meal was spoiled by the lack of service.

The food here is great! We did not make a reservation but they ended up having 2 seats left open at the bar, which they also serve food at! The food is fantastic! ! It is a splurge but worth it for the taste, atmosphere and unique dishes! I highly recommend the beef tartare. The burger was also really good and a huge portion. We did not get the sauce that was recommended for it and we wish we would have!! We will be back for it and to try some more of the appetizers. We just had water but the cocktails looked delicious and most of them had fresh fruit or a flower put into the glass. We will come back for cocktails at some point too!

This is the best steak & meal I think I've ever had TRULY! My partner & I both got our steaks medium and they were amazing (cut like butter). The fries are AMAZING as well. We started with a salad and it was such a fresh great start. Our waitress was well informed about the menu and truly made the experience of our first time even better. I would recommend reservations as it seems they get busy. We went on a weeknight but at outside which was nice but if you want to avoid the heat avoid the outdoor covered patio. I can't wait to visit again!

We had the most devine dinner experience here. Our server, Steven, was the perfect host/guide for the meal, he talked us through the wine list and entrees with skill and expertise that was both mellow and accomplished without being stuffy. Lovely. And the food? Just exquisite and thoughtful. We shared the baguettes, Caesar (very different and delicious), and escargot (better than Paris by quite a margin), and then helped us choose our entrees in ways that resulted in each of us raving about our meal. The wines matched the entrees in perfectly complementary style. Then our birthday boy shared his chocolate cake - signature and outstanding - and the crème brûlée we can never resist. What an outstanding evening. Just loved all of it and the entire friendly and supportive staff. I can see why they're on James Beard's radar.

Such a great addition to downtown Greenville! On the pricey side but it's definitely an upscale and high end type experience with great ambiance. Perfect for a date night. The manager said their goal is French food with a fun twist. That's definitely true! We've been to Paris and we found the dishes to be very authentic. We went for restaurant week and enjoyed sitting in the lounge area by the bar. The steak frites were great - the truffle fries are definitely a stand out and were just like eating them in France. My favorite dish was the ahi tuna appetizer (crudo style) it was bursting with flavor and texture. Great cocktails too- especially if you're a gin fan, they have lots of creative ones. My favorite though was my French 75, it was classic and great. Definitely a great spot for a night out!

Fiancé and I went last minute without a reservation, got a couple seats at the bar and had a great dinner here! Service from bartenders was great as well as the cocktails. We got the tuna carpaccio, Colin's baguette, bone marrow, beef tartare and split the filet. Carpaccio, tartare and filet definitely stole the show. Ambiance was very warm in cozy. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Delicious NYE dinner- our server was wonderful, knowledgable and we appreciated he didn't push the tasting menu. The food was delicious especially the Yellowfin Tuna (pictured). We also enjoyed the Peking Duck and steak & frites. You do sit in pretty close quarters - not an introvert's favorite and the guys 3 tables over were LOUD but that's out of my control. I would definitely return. The Creme brûlée was better than the cronut-esque dessert.

The staff and food were remarkable. We had a baguette, Roasted Carolina Amberjack (SC saltwater fish), grilled zucchini & yellow squash, green salad, and the fried pastry with blackberries and cream. ALL absolutely amazing. This by far the best restaurant in Greenville County.

My only disappointment was the escargot. The chef has decided to make these in a floral setting taste instead of a heavy garlic flavor. I eat escargot whenever I get a chance and I won't ever order these again. We ordered the 55oz Tomahawk ribeye. Along with the accompanying sides fed all 4 of us! Highly recommend it!!! We had a "miscommunication" with our server so the manager Jess stepped in and waited on us the rest of the night. Super service, she was awesome.

Patty M.

Yelp
I am glad we went but it didn't match all of the hype. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The first waitress really knew the menu and strongly encouraged the Ceasars salad and bread to start. The fish of the day sounded delicious, but $144 for the smaller plate was rather steep, so we passed. We chose the 8 ounce filet and the duck breast. The salad and bread were spectacular! With it being a crowded Friday night, and tables close to each other, we observed as the table next to us received their food- they both got the duck. The man liked his but the lady had one bite and put her fork down. She told the waitress that she found it too gamey and too tough. The manager came over, took her plate back to the kitchen, and the lady chose the salmon instead. Her partner finished his dinner and they had to wait for her food to be prepared... as they waited, the manager came back and said something to the effect: "just wanted you to know, the chef tasted your duck and he said that it was fine." Now the lady kept apologizing for NOT liking her dinner! ?? Her salmon came out and she said it was MUCH better than the duck. I have to agree with the lady about the duck serving. To be fair, I rarely eat duck, so I do not have a good reference point for comparison, but I also found it to be too sweet and too gamey... however it was tender. I had kept the onion butter left over from the bread service and it did help dampen down the sweetness. The filet mignon was good, but not over-the-top fantastic.... French fries were French fries. The atmosphere is very loud and there is no privacy between tables.... maybe 2 ft between tables? Our dinner was $145 without alcohol or tip. Overall, I was disappointed that our experience didn't match what I read from other reviewers. Maybe going on an off-night would provide a better result.

Great food and excellent service. My new favorite restaurant in Greenville. The Scoundrel burger is fantastic. Go for happy hour and get the little Scoundrel. It comes with duck fat fries and your choice of a beer or wine. My wife had the pasta appetizer and she said it was the most flavorful pasta dish she had ever had.

The charming and sexy style really makes this a great date night spot. Our server was very nice and helpful. Didn't try to upsize our order when asking for recommendations. We had a dozen oysters and a large steak. Very delicious and more than enough for 2. I really liked the pink LED lights in the bathrooms with the vintage posters on the wall. Really added flare, and fun to the evening.

Good experience at Scoundrel Friday evening! As a couple that lived in France there were some things we were hoping for but didn't get (no pastis?) but overall really impressed. Service was prompt and they were great with refilling water (a huge plus for me when it's a small water glass and they don't leave a bottle at the table). Escargots were served properly (in shell!). We wanted to order the glassy skin duck but they informed us they were out as the ducks delivered were sub-par. Disappointing, but better than being served something the chef wouldn't be proud of. The root veggies in puff pastry were good, though the sauce was overly sweet. The coulotte steak was a bit undercooked (ordered medium rare and it bordered much more on rare in my opinion) but not enough to be bothersome. The duck fat fries were amazing, but if you don't like them salty, you probably wouldn't like these. (However I do, so I'm not complaining) The fried croissant was absolutely amazing. Like almost life-changing. I would go back just for that. I feel like the drink menu could use some work. Everything was either sweet or had a bitter/licorice type thing going on. Again, not really a complaint, just not my thing. Great location and vibe, overall. I would go back for sure!

We went to Scoundrel to celebrate my husband's Professor Emeritus award. The atmosphere was intriguing. However, tables were too close to have a private conversation also very dark which we don't mind. Right off the bat they tried to pushed their tomahawk beef thing, the most expensive thing on the menu. I don't/can't eat beef and once the waiter found that out, service wasn't very good. I had the Scottish salmon and it was excellent and my husband had the oysters and said they were good. The reason for the 3 and not 4 is the same as someone else mentioned. Our server vanished when it came time to refill water glasses, see if food was prepared to our liking, leave and pick up check. Ridiculous! Food was great, service sucked!! Won't go back!

OMG yes. Have to be brief right now, but this is easily our new favorite restaurant in Greenville. Our party of 4 had a filet, burger (our friend said it was incredible), duck, and fish. Everything was amazing. My wife said her salad was the best she'd ever had (I have to agree). My filet was amazing. Perfect rare + cook. Crème Brûlée was also spot on. Staff is also amazing.

Food was excellent! Three of us enjoyed sharing delicious appetizers of Caesar's salad, crab, Duck Liver mousse was outstanding! Such a surprise as I have never had it. A beautiful sea bass with a crisp outside, and various desserts(croissant was my favorite) It was a wonderfully relaxed evening sharing food and wine. It was my birthday celebration. Service was outstanding with waiter giving perfect wine suggestions for various foods. The atmosphere was inviting and a beautiful feeling as we entered the restaurant at 5pm. We enjoyed hearing each other talk and did not compete with loud music or noisy patrons. We saw the bar area which looked inviting as well. I look forward to next time.

Such a fun additional to downtown Greenville! Went here for a girl's night and the ambiance was by far the best part. I played it safe and went with the burger, but it did not disappoint. The serving sizes are large so you definitely won't leave hungry. I plan to go back and be a little more adventurous with the menu!

Food and ambiance is great. A bit pricey as you are charged for everything even bread or extra sauce. I been twice and both times it took awhile for the food to come out though. Other than that I would still recommend.

The food was generally excellent, with highlights being the Caesar salad and caviar, both rated 5 stars. The escargot received a 3-star rating. The steak, ordered medium-rare, unfortunately arrived medium-well and lacked flavor. The crème brûlée was very good. Service was very good, making it a worthwhile dining experience during our travels.

If you don't mind being rushed through a high-end french dinner by a rude manager, Scoundrel is for you. If you don't mind seeing pornography (ala Penthouse or Playboy) plastered on the walls of one of the bathrooms, Scoundrel is for you. My short assessment: Excellent: ambiance, drinks, food, and service (Taylor) Abysmal: restaurant manager (Kenzi) More detail: A high end French restaurant is meant to be an experience savored by all 5 senses, but due to the manager (Kenzi), it was an "experience" we will never forget. Our experience: My wife and I arrived 5 min early for our Saturday 5:45 pm reservation and were seated by the kind hostess. Our server (Taylor) promptly gave us the low down and took our cocktail orders. 5:45 - 6:45 (for context): we ordered 2 of the most expensive appetizers and 4 premier cocktails (total $114 before tip) At 6:45, we were about to order $150 worth of entrees when the manager (Kenzi) approached our table and brashly informed us (paraphrased) "you have 1 hour left, and we'd like to get your entree orders so this table can be ready for our next guests at 7:45. Resy is clear that you have 2 hours, and we only have 60 seats here, so we need to move things along". (Note: I made this reservation over the phone with Kenzi just 2 days earlier, and she never mentioned a 2 hour time limit) Shocked, we politely asked Taylor for the check and apologized for having to leave (citing Kenzi's rude behavior). We gave Taylor a nice tip because he was doing a great job despite his manager's rudeness. At 7pm, we left upset and disappointed. Thankfully, the evening was redeemed at a nearby Belgian restaurant. A restaurant manager can make or break a restaurant. Message to Chef Joe Cash: If you still ascribe to this aspiration for Scoundrel from your GVLToday interview ("It's not pretentious. It's not forced. It's just this natural, organic, really fun, just simple experience of good food, great fun, great fellowship kind of feel."), then I suggest hiring a new restaurant manager. Kenzi will be the downfall of any hopes for a "Cash Group" of restaurants. With a few minor adjustments to Scoundrel, you will be a GVL restaurant icon. I welcome your comment or a conversation.

We really looked forward to having dinner at Scoundrel, since we waited until after the holidays to book a reservation. The menu is fairly limited, but we had a chance to look it over before we came to the restaurant. We were seated at a booth table, which we requested. The ambiance was dark, and well "Scoundrel-ish". The restaurant restrooms are very funny, artistic and reminded me of the Pigalle neighborhood in Paris, which is a bit raunchy, so know this going in (if you are offended by naked photos, don't use the restroom). The food and service were really fantastic. Our kind and helpful waiter, David, was very well-versed in the menu, and made suggestions as we asked questions. We wanted to order a Kir Royale cocktail (not on the menu), and we were able to get it. My husband ordered the cabbage entree, which I wasn't sure of, but it was absolutely outstanding (the cabbage was delicious and the sauce on the side paired well with my duck fat fries). I ordered the Coulotte Steak Frites, medium rare, it was sublime, as was the melted Broccoli Rabe. This restaurant is different from any other in Greenville, as it not only offers superb food, but an experience as well. We will be back.

Tiny Tini Tuesday has my heart. Small martinis, an order of French fries, and a burger at the bar. This place has a great atmosphere, kind staff, and a killer menu. Though it is primarily upscale and pricey, there are a few good options for a lighter night out like the Cesar salad and burger

Fabulous for any occasion. The frites are perfectly cooked. The happy hour menu is a great way to dip your toe in. I'm sure you will come back for more. The beef tartare I now incredibly close yo the top of my "best thing I ever ate" list for appetizers.

This new downtown spot is very cool. Ambiance is very sleek and modern with comfortable booth seating along one side, and tables on the other. Bar area is small but can accommodate people at both the bar top, and some seating along the wall. The menu is a bit limited, and a little oddly designed to understand, but our server offered the information we needed. In the end, our group of 4 decided to share the Tomahawk RibEye...and whopping $205 for a 50+ oz steak...but with the accompanying sides that were included, and sauces to add to the fare, it was ample for us, and became a bargain compared to other individual options. Steaks were a feature here, and most were in the $70-85 range. There are also oyster, caviar options that were quite expensive to me! Service was outstanding...food was excellent. I'd love to see a broader range of food options.

Austin did a great job of explaining and suggesting the items on the menu. He made sure that our Alphagirl had a meal that would not cause any unwanted reactions. I had the tuna appetizer which was phenomenal although I would have really liked a Jerusalem Artichoke for each bite. Hubby had the hamburger that tasted like a steak with a hamburger texture. BD girl had the Steak frites which must have been good because she enjoyed it. Austin brought her a piece of BD cake. Fun evening!

Great Restaurant- But Take Issue Scoundrel has done an amazing job and effort of being GVL's premiere French restaurant, so where does the Russian caviar on the menu fit in? Not being political but they should consider parking this item, besides I did thought their is a ban on importing Russian goods I asked the bartender and he gleefully told me it comes smuggled though the area of Alaska that's next to Russia and there's a place in Charleston that they get it through.. Don't get me wrong, great restaurant but bad idea....

Vive la Scoundrel! 10 stars easy. Prices were high, but was worth every cent. We ordered almost everything on the menu, and we loved everything. We got beef tartare, mousse patay, T hawk steak, Fish, bread/butter with truffles (amazing), escargot, some noodle appetizer, and three deserts (crème brulee!!!!)... there was one more dish I can't remember. I don't write many reviews but I had to login and put a note on this one! Well done Scoundrel, well done.

Best meal I've had in Greenville! We loved everything about this place. From the Apps to the deserts, Scoundrel's is special!

Went for a business dinner with a couple of colleagues from out of town. Our first time to Scoundrel. We had the beef tartar and it was prepared table side by Tyler our server. I had the spiced chicken chassuer & it was fantastic. My colleges had the ribeye with an poive they raised about it. Finished with cronut. So excellent. We all agreed: Tyler was one of the best servers we've ever had. He was extremely familiar with the menu, described the items in such a detailed, reverent manner his respect for the restaurant & the diners was obvious. Hands down one of the best meals i(we've) had in a very long time. & favorite for best restaurant in the upstate. Going back very soon.

We had a early booking because we went after a matinee show at the Peace Center. Ambiance was really nice. Lighting was appropriate with hanging curtains to dampen noise levels. The Tomahawk Ribeye Works was delicious. Service was attentive but not overbearing. We enjoyed our evening.

Just very pricey, portions minimal & the appearance of a stocked bar; no blue cheese olives "just the basics" said bartender. Won't be back..

Fantastic ambiance! The renovation of this space was done well. I absolutely love the 60s-70s French nudie theme restroom. My second favorite restroom in Gvl. Excellent cocktail choices and great variety of wine. Though, we did not eat due to the lack of vegetarian options we did have did have a great time and will return.

What a treat! Welcomed with a smile and quickly transported to a French bistro in our minds. Trey, our server, was an absolute delight. He was knowledgeable and made excellent suggestions. We started with apéritifs. The Dorian Gray was dreamy. We then opened dinner with a baguette (crispy outside, warm and fluffy inside) served with sweet corn butter and a perfect Caesar salad. Loved the fine texture and spiciness of the breadcrumbs. For entrees we shared the branzino for 2 (Julia Childs would have approved), the duck, and the summer squash. I dreamed about the fish and squash last night. Not gonna lie. Such harmony in the flavors and textures. Finished with chef's grandmother's chocolate cake and felt like I knew her with the first bite. We also had the salted cantaloupe sorbet and honest to goodness, it felt like a summer garden in my mouth. It ended the night perfectly with my last sips of Bordeaux Blanc. The detail in the serving pieces were a highlight for me; inviting me in like i was in someone's home. Oh, and the storied art! I wanna know more about Scoundrel. Maybe invite him to join us next time; ) Can't wait to go back. The Scoundrel team 100% got it right.

Service was amazing! The server really knew the menu and made great suggestions. Food was excellent! We had the tomahawk steak and it was cooked to perfection. Best was the chocolate layer cake!

2nd time dining at Scoundrel- this time solo at the bar.. what a welcoming place with Lauren the bartender at the helm. Food and service still stellar. I ordered Colin's baguette, Caesar salad, the Duck, and the summer squash. It's the little details that are impressive. Corn+butter = wow! The grilled celery roots hidden in the Caesar salad- a delightful surprise underneath the veil of cheese. Luxurious. Duck was perfection and who knew summer squash can be that light and delightful. Thank you for another great experience.

My wife and I returned home about an hour ago and we are still floating on a culinary cloud. Here are the highlights: perfectly dressed Caesar salad with a hint of anchovy; warm baguette with compound butter; Sichuan sashimi tuna with crispy wontons; escargot with croustini and tons of garlic butter; roast duck with crispy skin on the breast, and pressed, confited dark meat; the very BEST pork dish of my life--pork Milanese--crunchy crust and succulent interior, counterbalanced perfectly with a squeeze of lemon and a peppery arugula salad; a fried crousant thingy for dessert, reminiscent of a pear-stuffed beignet; and last but not least, the VERY BEST chocolate layer cake of my life--rich without being cloying, and capturing the essence of chocolate perfection. Wow, wow WOW! Service was amazing--genuinely kind, hospitable, and invested in creating a memorable experience. Our server, Elyse, and a manager, Jess, were two standouts among a staff that was stellar across the board. Thank you, Scoundrel, for a remarkable and soul-satisfying evening. I am grateful for your commitment to the process. It showed in every element of the experience.
