swalsh40   -   I recently dined at Sweetwater Sports Bar & Grill and had such a great experience, I just had to write a review! I saw that they were not yet listed on dine.com so I added them. They are fairly new and under new ownership, they have expanded their dining area as well as their menu from the last time I visited. My husband had the shrimp and grits special and said it was the best he has ever had. My cheeseburger was amazing and our appetizers were right on point. We were greeted instantly and our server was prompt and attentive. Definitely try this place out, you won't be sorry! Oh, and they have the BEST Martini list, for those who are of age!! I live in Charlotte area and would prefer to drive the 10-20 min into Lake Wylie for this experience again. less

Anonymous   -   I previously dined at Ristorante Divino when they first moved into their location on Gervais Street. I don't remember much from that visit, except that my dad really enjoyed his lamb, and that I knew I was in a "fancy" restaurant when the server removed a small card and crumbed my table before the dessert course. I've never really considered going back, thinking it was too haute for me. Ten years later, I recently re-visited the restaurant, and fortunately my palate and dining experience in Columbia has improved enough to be able to appreciate Divino's for what it is - a fine dining establishment with great food and wine, and a helpful and knowledgeable staff. The first thing I noticed about my reintroduction to Divino's was the building and location. Over the years, the popularity of the Vista area has led to a ridiculous parking problem. Lack of nearby garages and free parking has made a habit of circling the area for twenty minutes looking for a space. Divino's does have valet parking, but also has a more than adequate parking lot directly behind the restaurant (mention to any attendants that you are dining there and you shouldn't have to pay). I was expecting older decor and a "stuffier" atmosphere, but when I walked in I noticed that was not the case at all. The building and furniture had a very classical feel to it, while still being comfortable (especially the chairs). The bar area is small, but cozy and has a good view of Gervais Street. The food was excellent. I had the Italian sausage and polenta appetizer, which was a fairly decent portion for an appetizer. My main course was the lamb, which appears to be a nightly "special." I've had some poorly cooked lamb in my day, however my meal that night was cooked perfectly and well plated. Everything tasted very fresh. Our server did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable with the specials and menu. The wine list is exceptional. I'm not as knowledgeable about wine, but the list was extensive and one of the largest I've seen for a Columbia Restaurant, second maybe only to Solstice Kitchen. The hostess checked on us during dinner and made sure to ask how everything was, which I appreciated more than the customary "how was everything" that restaurants usually give you as you're walking out the door (when it's too late to do anything). The chef also came out and asked about our meal, which I've only had happen at one other restaurant in Columbia. Pricing at Divino's is very reasonable. I was originally going to write that it's slightly more expensive than most restaurants in the Columbia area, but after looking at the menu again, realized that that's not the case. Appetizers, soups, and salads are in the $7-$8 range, and entrees around $22 - $28. A meal at Outback Steak House or Harper's would run you about the same price for smaller portions. Ristorante Divino brings an exciting vibrancy to the heart of Columbia and the Vista area, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves authentic Northern Italian food. less

Gene H.   -   The food here was very delicious. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. So far i have tried the T-Bones, Filets, and Ribeyes at Charlies and all have been excellent. My wife did try the chicken once and it turned out to be a little tough, but its her own fault for ordering chicken at a Steakhouse. The staff is very friendly and always takes care of us. This places is definately worth going to. less

Martha M.   -   The food at Charlies was simply delicious. The staff was perfect, and the owner was as friendly as can be. This is an old-fashioned kind of place that still makes their own dressings, deserts, sauces, etc. Not like alot of the more modern chain places that ship everything in frozen. It was definately worth visiting, and i will return very soon. Thanks for a great meal. less

Anonymous   -   The restaurant's ambiance was acceptable. The food was below average in presentation and taste. The eggplant parmigiana was obviously microwaved. But these problems are more or less irrelevant when compared to the "service" and management. I dined with four other ladies but the waiter put down that there were six patrons and added an 18% 6-or-more guests gratuity. In a word, he chiseled an undeserved tip. When this was discovered and brought to the attention of the manager, he was impolite and argumentative and disputed the fact that there were only five guests even though I have a photograph! Do not bother with this loser of a restaurant! less

Martha M.   -   Charlies Steak house is the most delicious place to get a steak in all of Greenville. My husband and i tried alot of the new restaurants in the newly renovated area of downtown Greenville, and we decided to return to our favorite place = Charlies. The food is always and consistent and perfect. We have come to know the servers by name, and they know us as well. The servers are always polite, proffesional, and willing to please. The food is alsways served to us fresh (we can tell). The salad consists of romaine lettuce, and a blend of vegetables. The dressing are all made by the staff, and taste delicious. The steaks are always very tasty, and not covered with pepper or garlic. All i add to my steak is salt, and my children like the "Charlies" sauce they bring to the table. We have never left Charlies hungry, and will continue to be patrons for a long time. Thanks Charlies and staff. Martha less
