   Larkin's has a nice atmosphere, and it is in a great location. The bar area is very nice, and this is where our friends and my husband and I sat. We only really go to Larkin's when they have their French onion soup and mulled wine. Unfortunately, they did not have the mulled wine this time. They did have the soup, and it was tasty, although different than last time. Overall, our experience was not good. Our server was very attentive at first but then was pretty absent. The food came out in a weird order - side salads last after we already had our appetizers and soup. My first drink was great, but when I asked for another, it was a totally different drink. After the bartender remade it and it was still wrong, I just asked for something else. My friend's drink was not made correctly either. I just think overall the majority of the food is not good, the service is very slow, and they are not consistent in their food and drinks. We will go back to the bar and have our soup, but we won't invite friends or chance ordering anything else. I hope they can make improvements. There are so many good options in downtown Greenville, and Larkin's will not be on my list of places we regularly visit.

   We had a fantastic early dinner at Larkin’s on 12/7/24. Our waiter, Phil, provided exceptional service—he offered great suggestions and took excellent care of us throughout the evening. The food was delicious, and the overall experience was top-notch. We will definitely be back and will make sure to ask for Phil again! Highly recommend!

   The food was flavorful and delivered to our table promptly. The dirty wine glasses and terrible customer service was really what put a damper on the entire experience. Water spots on wine glasses.. I can deal. Dried up and left over residue from someone else's beverage...I cannot deal with. Our waitress certainly seemed more inclined to help, check on, and talk up her other tables while barely visiting us. Because we were met with the same energy when we walked in, I should not have been surprised. Some way to spend an Anniversary😵‍💫

   Larkins is one of the best restaurants in Greenville. The service is top notch, shout out to Phil who gave us incredible recommendations! You will not be let down by the Korean wings or the pork chops! Everything we had was delicious, well definitely be back to this Greenville staple!

   I would recommend Larkin's, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. We have celebrated at Larkin's many times over the years, and it has always felt special. This was our first visit to the new location, which is beautiful; however, it no longer feels unique. The atmosphere is similar to that of other restaurants, and while the food is great, it is no longer spectacular. On a positive note, the service was wonderful. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and drink menu.

    We always enjoy dining with Larkin’s. Very nice ambiance, well trained, attentive staff, good menu and wine choices. Kolby was our server on this occasion and was a very nice young man who took the occasion of a slow evening to chat a bit which is always nice. The French onion soup is just the best ever and our salmon was cooked to perfection as we ordered. Good, French Press coffee and just an enjoyable, relaxing evening before attending a show at the nearby Peace Center.
