Best Seafood Restaurants in Travelers Rest

First time we ate out on Christmas Day. We love Ruth Chris for special occasions. The service was great. Our server was awesome. The food was delicious as always. The whole experience was nothing short of what we expected, even on a busy holiday. We even took home leftovers. (My husband was a little disappointed because they ran out of onion rings- but he didn’t let that ruin our meal). Merry Christmas 🎄

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience this Christmas Eve, Ruth’s Chris Steak House is where your search should end. Nestled in the heart of Downtown G’ville this iconic steakhouse transforms into a festive oasis, offering a sophisticated ambiance that perfectly complements the holiday season. The highlight of the evening, of course, is the food. Ruth's Chris is renowned for its unparalleled steaks, and this visit did not disappoint. We started our meal with the signature BBQ and spicy shrimp, a delightful prelude. For the main course, I opted for the Filet Mignon, cooked to a perfect medium-rare and served sizzling on a 500-degree plate. The crust was outstanding: a caramelized exterior surrounding a tender, juicy center that practically melted in my mouth paired with the sweet potatoes and my pomegranate martini was perfect 💫 To top off our meal, we indulged in the legendary Apple Tart — a rich, decadent dessert that perfectly embodied the spirit of indulgence. Each bite was a heavenly combination of texture and flavor, ensuring that we ended our meal on a sweet note. Overall, dining at Ruth's Chris on Christmas Eve was perfect!

Fantastic meal and steak was cooked perfectly. Waiters were pretty good

We had it all - wine, appetizers, main course, dessert and coffee. From the first bite to the last, our Xmas eve dinner was simply outstanding. We sampled a large portion of the menu - steaks, scallops, red snapper, lobster and pasta. We loved the mushrooms with goat cheese and scalloped potato side dishes. I will make a recommendation that is not to be missed - even if you don't have room - order the butter cake. We've had this dessert each time we've dined at Rick Erwin's and it seems to get better and more decadent each time. I would be remiss not to mention the superior service as well. One of the gems of Greenville!

Firebirds never disappoints. Our holiday experience was exceptional last evening. We were quickly seated and greeted by the manager and our server, Lexi. She was helpful with our wine selection by patiently providing tastings of 2 bottles. The deviled eggs were recommended and arrived quickly and were delicious. The filets and loaded potatoes were prepared as requested. I love dining at Firebirds. Will probably be back next Monday and will request Lexi. She was very special.
