Description: Located in Greenville’s Historic West End district, Rick Erwin’s West End Grille is a traditional American steak and seafood house that takes fine dining to new levels. With a stylish bar, cozy wine cellar, and inviting dining room bathed in rich, dark woods, Rick Erwin’s boasts an atmosphere infused with ambiance and complemented by an extensive contemporary menu and fine wine list. At the same time, intimate and striking, sophisticated and comfortable. A private glass-encased dining room seats 24 and is adjacent to an elegant wine cellar with a vast selection of fine wines. Atop the restaurant is a private 1,400 square-foot loft apartment available for private dinners and special events. A passion for exquisite food and exceptional service inspired Rick Erwin, a Greenville native, to open Rick Erwin’s West End Grille. We recognize the most important part of our restaurant is supremely satisfied guests. Our commitment is a memorable, outstanding dining experience for every guest.

This is one of Greenville's best high end dining experiences. Ate with family for a birthday dinner. Staff is always accommodating and service is consistently high. Always attentive but out of your way. Streaks are of course the best and the sides are big enough for the table. Requested a seat near the window so we could see out to... More

Wonderful dinner tonight. Aged 12 oz. delmonico steak cooked to perfection. Started with tasty onion soup. Partner got terrific three course deal with choice of seafood soup or salad, a salmon, chicken or beef dish and choice of three desserts....all for $30. He loved his salmon which came with potatoes and spinach. Hot bread accompanied dinner. We each had a... More

This is a great place to eat, I think the best place in Greenville for high end dining. The service is always top notch. In fact, Rick usually is there and comes by the table to say hello. The atmosphere is also terrific. As far as the food goes...the scallops, oysters, and mussells are all the best in town (along... More

Dined there with friends. Everything excellent. Two of us had the filet and one the strip lion. All agreed one of the best steaks ever. My "gourmet green" salad was fabulous. Friends had the French onion soup and seafood bisque and both said they were great. We went to Ruth's Chris a week earlier, paid the same money, and had... More

We had a very nice dinner at Rick Erwin's Westend Grille. This was our first visit so wasn't sure what to expect, but it really impressed us. We've eaten at a lot of the fine dining restaurants in Greenville and all over the US and this definitely is one to beat. The interior is beautiful and the atmosphere was very... More

Read this to be one of the best restaurants in Greenville. It wasn't this night. We can only attribute it to being a Monday night and the chef was off. My caesar salad was totally dry. Waiter brought a side bowl on request. I think my expensive glass of wine was left over from Saturday night. The shrimp was cooked... More

My husband and I went here to celebrate a birthday last year and it was great! The steak was good, but I won't say it was the best I have ever had. The sides are family style and we carbed up, picked mashed potatoes and mac 'n cheese. The macaroni is without a doubt the best macaroni I have ever... More

We visited Rick Erwins on a house hunting trip to Greenville. We've been to most of the high end steakhouses in many major cities and I would put Rick Erwin's up against any of them. My NY strip was cooked to a perfect medium rare, with a wonderful char crust. My wife had scallops which were also excellent. We started... More

Dinned last week with some friends and was nothing but impressed. This was an incredible meal start to finish. Started off with Calamari, then had the wedge. Both outstanding. My friend had the Ceasar, which was just as good, but the entrees were to die for. We had the Seabass and Surf n Turf. Wow. Words don't do it justice.... More
