Thank You Nantucket

Last night, I took Dorothy to Nantucket Seafood Grill by Rick Erwin in Downtown Greenville for our one year anniversary.  I have to say, it was one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had.  And it wasn't just good food.

From the moment we stepped out of the car, the staff made sure that we were taken care of.  When we entered the restaurant and gave our name, the hostess pulled up our reservation, wished us a happy anniversary, and took us back to a table looking out across the Marriot Courtyard's large grass... courtyard... and gorgeous waterwall.  It was awesome.

Honestly, any seat in Nantucket would be a good one, everything in it is designed to impress.

The restaurant is located on the left side

The hostess noticed that there was a business meeting going on a few tables away, and asked us if we would like to choose another table (of our choice) if we didn't want the noise.  However, I didn't even notice it.
She sat us at the table, and handed us a card, once again saying Happy Anniversary.

The waiter came, bringing two glasses of very nice champagne.  He wished us happy anniversary, and was extremely polite.  We opened up our card, and it was a hand-written anniversary card that the staff had signed.

The waiter came back for our order, and went beyond his duty to help us pick out food, and explaining to us what things were without making us feel dumb.  I had chosen their Pan-seared Wild Alaskan Halibut, which is only served for 8 weeks a year, but it came with a tomato risotta (I'm not a tomato person).  He told me to choose any side item on the menu to replace it, and gave friendly suggestions to what would go well with it.

Our food was amazing, cooked perfectly.   We were checked in on frequently (but not too frequently- I, for one, do not like it when the waiter is hovering at your table).  We received and paid our check, and headed for the door.

We walk outside to see our car waiting for us!  I'll be honest, and quickly made sure that they had actually taken our car in the first place- they had.  The valet turned, handed me the keys, wished us a good night (by name).  I was so taken off guard at the little things they had done to make the night special I almost forgot to tip him.  I was just standing there trying to piece it all together!

To summarize: Nantucket Grill was amazing.  If you want amazing seafood and an even better experience, come to Nantucket.  It is on the more expensive side, but for a special occasion like a one year anniversary it was acceptable.
Thank You Nantucket, for the wonderful experience.
