Whether you’re looking to try something new or visit an old favorite, participating restaurants offer special deals to entice Greenvillians to get out and eat local.
Here are five spots with menu offerings we can’t wait to taste:
With a new chef in the kitchen, Roost is serving up three courses for $35. We’ve already had a taste of of Chef Zac’s roasted burrata + the bananas foster bread pudding, and we highly recommend them.
Although the menu is to be announced, we’re still putting Downtown Greenville’s newest restaurant on our list because we haven’t had a bite there that wasn’t a 10 out of 10. Whatever the specials, this is a Restaurant Week must-do.
