"attractive restaurant in good location with beautiful view of the city and attractive decor on the inside. eating was good, but not excellent. I expected more from a rick erwin restaurant. I have the fried green tomaten (very good), the oysters (very disappointing, very small) and the calamari (good, but very average, nothing unique, they find the same at every average price seafood restaurant). I had surfing and shaking with mushrooms. the nativity was excellent. the firma crabcake was very good. the mushrooms were very good. I had a double whisky neat basil hayden and a smoked whisky mad. both were excellent, but the presentation for the smoked whisky was disappointing because their smoke machine was broken. the service was disappointing. I did not feel that the server knew the menu well and there were no recommendations or suggestions. she was pleasant, but clearly overworked. I think she was one of two servers in a busy restaurant on a Saturday night. the food lasted much too long to be served, and they were trying a little low what the food sat for some time after preparation. we spent three hours there without dessert because of the time of food. we still enjoyed it because we were with good friends and the ambiente was good, but I wouldn't take anyone there if I was eating to impress. our tip was $500 for four people. that's good for a rick erwin restaurant, but I didn't feel that I got the rick erwin experience for the money I spent. we could go back in the early year to experience the terrace. I felt this was a decent experience for spartanburg, but not for greenville. we had a bottle of wine in bo d street wines before we went to level 10 and that was a good experience."
