   Based on past experience, had suggested our party of six dine at Maestro’s. On arrival, were told the reservation had been shifted to the Speakeasy. Too noisy for a group that wishes to have pleasant conversation during dinner so we opted for Maestro’ s standard dining area. The service was slow, spotty and incomplete. Wine did not arrive until after the entrees, not given information about specials (we saw a special delivered to a table that arrived after us so they were still available when we made our selections from the menu,) all the entrees arrived late and half were greasy and poorly seasoned. Not asked if we wanted dessert or after-dinner beverage. The dining room was empty when we arrived at 8 PM (reservation time) improved little before closing. Now know why! Shall not return.

   My husband and I went here for our anniversary, and to say we were blown away by how delightful it was is an understatement. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful, and all of the staff and servers were fantastic. Without a doubt we will be coming back in the future.

   Everything was wonderful, server was attentive, food was flavorful and nicely presented. Large portions! Also enjoyed going next door to their Speakeasy after dinner for live jazz. Was a wonderful way to end the evening and our last night in Greenville.

   We had made reservations for the two of us at 5pm. We had arrived 15 minutes before they opened so they informed us it would be a few minutes. When it came time to be seated, we were taken down the hall to a back bar area. It was exceptionally dark in there. We were told to take a seat anywhere we wanted. There was music playing over the speakers which were exceptionally loud and we could barely hear each other across the table. It was pretty sad we had to bring out our phones and use the lights to actually see the menu. The waiter said he could turn up the lights, but the other staff members would not be happy and turned the lights back down. We ordered the oysters Rockefeller as a starter, which were very good, but whoever prepared the oysters didn’t know how to properly shuck them as we found many pieces of shell in our Rockefeller. I ordered the house salad. My dining partner ordered the beet salad. And his beet salad there were six thin pieces of beet and greens that were unidentifiable and inedible as it was dark, so we could not see what they really were. My salad was very hard to chew also and very stemy. I ordered the seafood pasta which tasted wonderful and was loaded with seafood, but again lots of shell pieces throughout the pasta that I came across. My dining partner had the bowl of tomato soup, which was excellent. Again I’m going to emphasize how dark it was in there and how loud it wasn’t there. This is not where we made the reservations for. After we paid our bill, I went to the front receptionist again in the other room and made comment that we had made reservations for here or she was standing and not in a back bar where we were by ourselves basically . Her comment was “that’s on me. I put you there” . I had made reservations for what we thought would be a very pleasant dining experience in a welded dining room that we have seen many times as we’ve walked by. Not some dark and dingy bar sitting off by ourselves. Very disappointing.

   Every dish was delicious! We are vegan and the vegan menu is amazing … this was our second visit. You should definitely be sure the servers tell every table that there is a vegan menu is available at the same time they are listing the specials. If people don’t know to ask (I found out through vegans of Greenville social media post) then it won’t get the attention it deserves ;)
