Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Pendleton

This was our first time at Madison’s. We read about this beautiful and recognized restaurant in Open Table. Since we had planned a trip to Franklin NC, we added Madison’s to our itinerary and we were not disappointed. In is a beautiful place on Main Street in Highlands, NC. The decor and atmosphere was elegant, and the food was fantastic. We highly recommend Madison’s if you are anywhere near Highlands.

Our third time eating at Rick Erwin’s in Clemson. Food, service, and atmosphere were all superb. Will go back again and again.

Fried flounder feature was delicious! Southern style orzo was creamy and was also very good. The pinecone dessert was amazing and looked incredible.

This place never disappoints. If you’re looking for southern comfort food done right this is the place. We visit every time we come to Greenville. The sassafras chicken is one of our favorites. Shrimp and grits, salmon, steaks are all very good. Side dish choices are perfect accompaniments. The service and hospitality are spot on. Great daily specials. Very welcoming place.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance immediately set the tone--beautiful views and a warm, inviting atmosphere made for the perfect setting. We started with the Fried Goat Cheese Honey Balls, which were absolutely delicious--crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy center, balanced perfectly by the sweetness of the honey. For the main course, I had the Lamb Ragu with Tagliatelle, and it was to die for. The flavors were so rich and hearty, and I literally cleaned my plate--no leftovers here! To end the meal, I indulged in the Goat Cheesecake. It was a delightful way to finish the meal--creamy, tangy, and absolutely divine. The service was equally outstanding. Our waiter was attentive and kept my sweet tea filled without me ever having to ask--small details like that really made a difference. I truly have no complaints. The combination of fantastic food, exceptional service, and a beautiful ambiance makes this restaurant one I'll definitely return to. Highly recommend!
