WEST END. The Reedy River isn't huge, but it's a much-loved feature of Greenville residents, especially now that the park around it has been revamped. Manicured plantings, open lawns, and stone pathways and terraces offer plenty to explore, and the Liberty Bridge arcs over and around the falls in a feat of beauty and engineering. The inviting park follows part of the Reedy's course, providing not only picturesque views but a brief history lesson as well, thanks to a series of markers. A great place to take a book or enjoy lunch on a sunny day. Shopping and dining opportunities are nearby too.

WEST END. When news broke that this Charleston standout was planning to open a Greenville location, the public rejoiced – and for good reason. It's widely known that the folks behind High Cotton know how to impress, and that's just what this multilevel dining room does with its soaring glass walls and cool, contemporary space. Take in the view of the Reedy River as you savor an appetizer of seared Hudson Valley foie gras or jumbo lump crab Oscar. From there, main courses like sliced venison medallions, butternut squash, buttermilk-brined free range chicken or cornbread-crusted flounder should (and do) warrant your undivided attention. Outstanding wine list.

DOWNTOWN. A dramatic interplay of glass, steel and concrete establish a hip, high-class ambience in one of Greenville's most cosmopolitan restaurants. Big-city style pervades both the dining room and the mezzanine lounge – a perfect place to impress clients or honor a special occasion. While aged, hand-cut steaks are the menu's spectacular focus, patrons can also treat themselves to items like five-spice seared scallops, chipotle barbecue-glazed short ribs, and the restaurant's giant crab cake. The wine list gives preference to reds from California and Europe. A great place just for drinks too.

WEST END. Chicora (accent on the second syllable) is the success story of two Greenville brothers, Ben and Adam Dixon. Their restaurant and bar has gained lots of attention since its opening, and dining and drinking coexist happily in the second-floor space. Along the back wall sits the bar, constantly populated by regulars and animated groups, quaffing longnecks and draft beer. Just in front of it, diners gather at pub tables for creative Southwestern-Caribbean fare like conch fritters, pork quesadillas and Black Angus beef medallions. You'll also find awesome sweet potato fries and square, school pizza! A great place to meet friends or just to hang out. Live music, often jazz, in the loungey dining area behind the main bar.
