Reviews for American Grocery Restaurant

10/03/2009 - C Lawrence
Tonight was my wife's and my second visit to American Grocery. After our first visit, our opinion was basically $75 a person for a meal consisting of mediocre food and small portions. After our second visit, I swore never to return. During our second visit, my wife alerted the waitress that she was a vegetarian and ordered a sweetbread appetizer. Neither of us realized that sweetbread is actually the internal organ of a baby cow. It would have been helpful for the waitress to have pointed this out to us since we pointed out to her that my wife was a vegetarian. The sweetbread arrived, my wife took a bite and realized that it was far from what we would consider a sweet bread. I'm not sure if you can appreciate that for a vegetarian to discover they unintentionally ate part of a baby cow organ is very traumatic. The waitress and manager certainly didn't appreciate this and were less than sympathetic. In our disgust, we left before our main courses arrived. If you want to spend $75 and up per person at a downtown Greenville restaurant, you can do a lot better.
