Best Restaurants for People Watching in Greenville

This was unexpectedly, an absolutely fabulous evening. From the greeting to the seating to the serving, to the dining, everything went smoothly. Alexis, our server was somebody I would like to know anytime! She is an achiever, personable, and highly professional… as well as interested in us and who we were.! And then the food…all three of us had outstanding results with the choices we had taken from a quite extensive menu. Everything was beautifully prepared and served, but there were really creative, unexpected results from the chef to make these choices exceptional. We were all so surprised and grateful. Astute Alexis, our delightful server picked up on this and invited the young chef, John to come out to visit with us. Having been experienced myself and well traveled with wonderful dining opportunities, I believe that if he does not lose this optimism and willingness to take chances on his creative but knowledgeable skills,he is going to be very well-known someday.I almost asked for an autograph! He was so personable he persuaded us to have a dessert we hadn’t planned on, and it was way beyond anything we had dreamed of. We were so thankful that we had chosen this place to celebrate the birthday of one of us. Bravo.

Our dining experience at The Patterson was truly 5-star plus! Our waiter, Jesus, was attentive, personable, and incredibly helpful. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening, showing exceptional kindness and attention to detail. The food was outstanding—every aspect, from the menu choices to the presentation and taste, was simply exceptional. Celebrating our 49th anniversary here was a delight, and the team made every effort to make the evening unforgettable.

We just had a great experience eating at this restaurant for date night. Atmosphere was nice, food was great, and service was amazing! We will definitely be going back.
