Simply put: don’t go. We like to try everything new at least once, but we should have passed on this place. They are understaffed, and the staff is clearly not well trained. They seem to not have defined roles either– our hostess fumbled around seating us because«she wasn’t the hostess» and our waiter touched our bread with his bare hands one by one putting it in the basket– we saw this not only because the kitchen is open so you can see in, but because getting bread was such an ordeal. We requested bread and received at least ten minutes later. It was nothing to write home about just a couple slices of French bread with plain olive oil and cracked pepper(don’t expect an original oil blend like carrabas or bonefish). When we finally received our food, after many apologies from our waiter about how they were so behind(due to only 2 large tables, not like they were crowded) we requested more bread. He said«they are weird about bread here, it’s only for certain meals too». My boyfriend said«let me speak to them if you don’t want to «ask» for more. He brought it himself and told us «he had to sneak it». Excuse me what? On top of all the waiting we did, our food was not something you would expect from a prime location woodruff road location. Meatballs on the spaghetti(which were an additional cost about $ 15 for the plate) were spongey and the Caesar salad had dressing straight out of a bottle from the store. Please don’t waste your time with this place. I think whoever bought it out got in way over their head financially and it shows in the appearance of the restaurant inside, the confused staff, the stingy«kitchen», and the extremely average food. I get the vibe they are«playing restaurant». No real knowledge of how to run a business. Two hours later we were finally about to leave after paying. Will never be back and honestly can’t see this place making it if travinia couldn’t.

I’ve been here multiple times and everything I’ve had has been delicious. The red pepper hummus is amazing, as is the lamb burger and the sliders. The service has been great every visit. I definitely recommend.

Lunch or Happy hour, maybe… Dinner never again! There are two many other options. The good; The hummus was tasty and they provide plenty of pita. The happy hour prices are great. The Greek side salad is authentic(no lettuce). The bad: the prices are high for what you get, the chicken alfredo was not good, pasta was too thin, the sauce was over seasoned, and the chicken was VERY salty. Middle Ground; the gyro was fair. I’ve had better at a number of local restaurants. Staff, while nice were not as professional as you would expect for this price point. Again, Greenville is a foodie town and there are too many other options at this price point where the food and service are far superior.

We had dinner last night for the first time here. After placing our orders, we were informed that the waitress was not allowed to serve bread and dipping oil until the meal arrived. When the meals came, the portions were small and at best tasted average. In fact, mine was so bland it was brought home for my wife to doctor up. My wife did not finish hers and did not feel it was worth bringing home. Since we were with another couple, we asked for more bread and were told she would have to charge extra for the bread. When asked to speak to a Manager, another waitress said that was impossible and nothing could be done. A cook came to the table and after several minutes of discussion, we agreed to disagree. At this point we would no longer recommend this restaurant. Sorry, we were hoping it would be better. Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees. we

Visited for first time for a Saturday late lunch. Will not be returning. My caesar salad was awful– the romaine lettuce had brown edges and the dressing did not taste good. The croutons were so hard that I couldn’t crunch them, and had to remove from my mouth before breaking a tooth. My husband had the Wild Bird panini, which is not a panini but a sandwich on toasted white bread. His tomato was not roasted as menu claims, but a slice of unripe raw tomato. The ice teas are $ 2.50 each. Our total was $ 23 for an unsatisfying meal. Wendy’s next door would have provided a better value. The waitress(whom we had to ask for silverware after food arrived), said the owner was waiting to do an official grand opening. I wonder if it will stay open that long.

Chicken too salty, other customers complained the same thing to us walking out. Overall, terrible. But I did like my lamb burger. Tasted like a regular burger for the most part. Overall rating: below average.

Over priced for not enough food. The taste of the food was not above average or even better than your local Greek/Italian restaurant that charges half the price. Won’t be visiting again.

Definitely worth visiting. I had the Sausage and Peppers Rustica and it was delicious. A generous portion and I highly recommend it. My wife had the Wild Mushroom Carbonara and was also delighted. Service was terrific. Very attentive.
