Slate Restaurant — Restaurant in Greenville

The setting is beautiful, and the views are exceptional. Unfortunately, the praise ends there. They sat us 4 feet away from a pedestal fan blowing directly at us. The first 2 courses were billed as the chef's choice. One was asparagus, prosciutto, and a diced boiled egg. The other, sliced zucchini and cucumber in a bowl with feta cheese.

Highly recommended and we're already looking forward to...

I had a bone marrow appetizer, a lamb porterhouse, and a cherry and pecan sundae, as well as their wonderful fresh bread. The atmosphere is charming, and the view from the porch cannot be beat! It’s worth going out of...
