   This was a great dining experience from the ambience to the service to the food. A couple of our favorites include the oysters Rockefeller and the mushroom ravioli! We would not have tried those items but our awesome served Micah recommended. He was spot on!

   We had a 12:30 reservation for our family of 6 on 12/24 and were seated on time. That was about the only thing which went well during our time there. The restaurant was at about 80% capacity (e.g 1 out of 5 tables empty). Once we were seated, nobody came to the table to check-in/take a drink order for 10-12 minutes. Most of the drinks finally showed up at the 20 minute mark, the remainder came 5-6 thereafter. We were told we could place an appetizer order momentarily. After flagging down our server, were were able to place an appetizer order...the appetizers showed up at our table at 1:17 (47 minutes after we were initially seated). We then were asked for our meal orders. We booked Larkins (a few weeks in advance) for that day due to the lunch menu they had published on the website, which was active that day, we were looking at it while sitting at the table. We were told we could not order from the lunch menu and had to order from the dinner menu, remember, this was a 12:30 reservation. At this point, we had no other option but to ride this out as other establishments were booked. Note: This ordering restriction ended up bring our lunch tab to well over $300...four of the six meals were salads. While waiting for our meals, three different servers, over the course of 20 minutes, attempted to bring us three different orders destined for other tables. The food was actually good, once if finally arrived. We received multiple "I'm sorry's" during our time, but other than that, zero attempt to make it right. There were several other "fun facts" during our time there, but I am running out of room to provide feedback. These are the facts from our experience at Larkin's...I write, you decide.

   We have been to Larkins several times prior and this experience did not live up to previous times. The food was eh and the service was extremely slow.

   The food was delicious. I had the Chilean Sea Bass. It was flavorful and practically melted in my mouth. The kitchen kindly accommodated me by preparing this without the usual bacon since I cannot eat pork. The she crab soup is outstanding. And, the desserts were worthy of the calories they contained. Our server, Phil, was attentive but not intrusive. He made the experience relaxing and enjoyable.

   We went for lunch. Nice spot with a great location downtown. She Crab soup was the best I have had. Reuben Sandwich as fair. Meat was dry. Service was good.

   Larkins is a nice restaurant but the food at our dinner last night was just average. The steak had a good taste but was cold and the sides (asparagus and potatoes au gratin) were not that good. A little disappointing for the price we paid. Our waiter was very good and nice atmosphere.

   They need some training in the kitchen it is a beautiful restaurant. Service could use some tuning up also. Clearing tables checking on your customers. Kitchen seems like they can get the food out but also may need some training.

    The She Crab soup was delicious, but the burger sliders were awful. It was like shredded short rib meat, hardly any in the 2 small buns. I would not go back for lunch based on the cost of food and value. Many other great choices in Greenville for a nice lunch!
