Scoundrel has easily become my favorite restaurant. Whether it’s happy hour at the bar, a weeknight dinner, or a special occasion, the experience is consistently excellent. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, with a strong understanding of both the food and cocktail menus, and the wine program is thoughtfully curated by their in-house sommeliers.
The food is delicious every time. The branzino is a standout and something we order frequently. The beef tartare is also a favorite.
Standout, delicious dishes we adore also include (and are not limited to) the oysters, caviar bites, carpaccio, bone marrow, crème brûlée, chocolate cake, duck frite fries, pasta, and Caesar salad— and the menu is perfect from start to finish. Scoundrel is the kind of place you return to often, confidently recommend, and think about fondly between visits.

I had the beef tartare, the Massachusetts scallops, grandma‘s chocolate cake, and a pistachio dessert on the house. Drew was awesome. So was the sommelier. I could tell they both made a concerted effort to make my time there enjoyable. When you go to a Michelin starred restaurant, it’s not just about the food. It’s the experience. I also witnessed a customer being completely irrational and the way they were handled was so professional and kind. I definitely feel they are deserving of the star that they received.

Wow…….got reservations for new years eve and we knew it was going to be good but the whole experience exceeded my expectations!!!! Atmosphere is fantastic, service above and beyond, the food I have no words to describe…..it as the best meal I have had all year. Ordered the tomahawk and it was cooked perfectly medium, all the sides and sauces delectable, ordered the beef tartar just chefs kiss, and that ceaser salad, probably the best version of it than I have ever had! Finished with their perfect creme brulee!!! Wish I got some good pics but I failed, highly recommend and of course we are going back.

Absolutely love this place! The branzino is incredible! They always have good drink selections. The duck fat frites are excellent as well. I have not had anything bad here!! I will be going for my third visit in March!

We had a wonderful experience at Scoundrel. The escargot was delicious, and the duck breast was perfectly tender with very crispy skin.
The highlight of our visit was our server, Mel. She was cheerful, knowledgeable, and made us feel as comfortable as if we were speaking with a family member.
We highly recommend this restaurant. Although booking slots are released at noon on the first day of the month and fill up almost instantly, it is worth checking the site periodically as cancellations often make slots available again.

This is currently our favorite restaurant and has been for the last year or so! The food is always amazing, they have some of the best cocktails in Greenville, and the service is excellent! Our favorites include the beef tartare, Caesar salad, and truffle fries for appetizers; for our entrees, we’ve loved the oysters, the half chicken (truly, this will be some of the best chicken you’ve ever had), the steak frites, and the burger (my favorite burger in town); and for dessert, you will love the beignets and the chocolate cake. If you haven’t tried Scoundrel yet, hurry up and get a reservation! You won’t regret it!

I had my birthday dinner at Scoundrel and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The service was thoughtful and warm without feeling rushed, and the food was truly outstanding—every dish was balanced, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The whole evening felt special and intentional. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Greenville, Scoundrel is absolutely worth it.

I am French, born and raised in France, with an Italian father who was a chef. I grew up in a restaurant, so my expectations are naturally high, even though I fully understand that a Michelin recognition here applies to a bistro and not to a gastronomic restaurant.
We went to Scoundrel with genuine curiosity and enthusiasm.
The caviar amuse-bouche was served on very buttery, hard croutons with chives. Unfortunately, the accompaniments completely masked the caviar. I had to taste it on its own to identify any flavor at all, and even then it felt flat and lacking freshness, with none of the salinity or finesse one would expect.
The escargots were, on the other hand, excellent. Truly among the best escargots I have had. However, they were initially served with overly toasted, dry bread. I had to ask for a non-toasted baguette, and once paired with proper bread, the dish was outstanding.
The pâtes et poivre were presented by the server as “the French version of mac and cheese,” which immediately surprised me, as this is not a French reference I have ever encountered. Curious, I ordered the dish and added fresh truffle, which was suggested as an option. When it arrived, there was absolutely no truffle aroma. I tasted the truffle slices on their own and they were completely flavorless, almost like cardboard. Beneath that, it was clear that truffle oil had been used in the pasta. The pasta itself was interesting, but the dish did not feel French at all to me. Aleppo pepper is not part of traditional French cuisine, and while culinary interpretations are welcome, this felt more confusing than intentional.
I asked for a wine pairing with each course. I was told there were no specific recommendations per dish, only a general selection from which I could choose. I do know French wine, so I was not lost, but when dining at this level, I expect guidance. A good sommelier should elevate the experience beyond what the guest can do alone.
For dessert, we asked for something light and were suggested a pumpkin sorbet with apple glaze. The presentation was very bland and the flavors equally muted. We actually had to ask again what the dessert was supposed to be, as it was difficult to identify either component clearly.
After a bill of around 150 € for one , I left genuinely wondering how Michelin selected this restaurant. Off the top of my head, I can name at least three restaurants in Greenville that deliver a more coherent, flavorful, and well-executed dining experience.
Scoundrel has potential, and some dishes clearly show skill, but overall the experience felt inconsistent and below what its reputation suggests.

Great place for a luxurious meal that doesn’t feel pretentious. We happened to patron this restaurant just a couple days before they received their Michelin star. I would honestly give the food a 4.5 if possible. It was really good but I do believe there’s some room to improve here, especially as a Michelin star rated restaurant.
Service was top notch and the staff was extremely knowledgeable of the menu. I believe just a bit more finesse and exploration of flavor profiles could be had here. For instance, the scallops I ordered were just slightly inconsistent on the cook. I realize this is nitpicking, but hey, it’s a Michelin star establishment now. Overall, though, it was a great experience.

Very nice, upscale restaurant that has been awarded a Michelin star. French menu without being overly pretentious. They have a great bar with original cocktails and an amazing wine list. I would definitely recommend reservations.
