Our first time and a special anniversary. Could not have been any better. Reminded me of the better restaurants in bigger cities. Never had sausage in Penne ala vodka. It was outstanding.

Love The Melting Pot as always and for many years now , but thank goodness for their happy hour pricing or it would be only for special occasions. The portions have become smaller, but pricing has gone up. Delicious food, great service though!

About the restaurant

Owned and operated by renowned Chef, Samuel Dominguez. Located right in the heart of Downtown Greenville SC. Come experience our delighted French-Argentinian cuisine with a southern twist! Dinner, you will find White tablecloth fine dining dinner service or come relax and have a casual bistro set lunch and Saturday brunch with us.

For those real hidden gem thrill seekers and cocktail explorers; Entre Nous is our brand new, must try speakeasy located just next door to us in the Poinsett Plaza. A 1920's era prohibition vibe sets the scene as soon as you walk in if you're able to get your hands on the secret passcode to open the door. A unique experience aside from Maestro's.

Greenville

About the restaurant

We invite you to celebrate refined Thai cuisine and an invigorating dining experience in the heart of Charleston, Mt Pleasant and Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC.

Basil is the realization of the lifelong dream of Henry and Chai Eang, brothers who immigrated to the United States from turbulent 1970s Cambodia. From speaking not a word of English, to creating award-winning dining experiences throughout the Carolinas, the duo has married hard work with passion to bring authentic Thai cuisine to their new home.

Since opening the first Basil in Charleston to rave reviews, several trendy locations have followed over the last dozen years. Basil’s infectious atmosphere centers around a dynamic kitchen as the sound of heat to metal, blade to board and liquid to flame resonate throughout the restaurant. Each space stylishly appointed to reflect the culture and energy of the noteworthy Southern cities they inhabit.
