Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Lake Jocassee

"As a concept, The Trappe Door could have rested on its laurels with an incredible Belgian beer menu in its dimly lit, speakeasy-style basement location. Instead, they put just as much energy into the menu and quality of product across the board and it shows. From the classic Beer Battered Cod & Frites to Boulets Liegeois (Belgian meatballs) this is Old World food that warms the soul."

"The Trappe Door takes its inspiration from Belgium, with over 150 different Belgian beers and traditional Belgian-inspired food. As with most Belgian restaurants, The Trappe Door’s specialty is moules frites,with six different mussel stocks to choose from, including mariniere and Provençale. Look out for periodic “all you can eat” moules frites nights too."

"Jianna opened to rave reviews in a coveted spot along Main Street overlooking Reedy Falls Park and filled a need for a Northern Italian hot spot. In this modern Italian osteria with a raw bar, bustling open kitchen, small plates to share and unpretentious food, Chef Michael Kramer is wowing guests with his daily handmade pastas in all shapes and sizes and his unique takes on the classics. Don’t miss the prosciutto di Parma sliced to order; ricotta crostini with truffle honey, sea salt and grilled ciabatta for the table; polenta smothered in veal and pork meatballs; and the Southern-meets-Italian fusilli al nero with Carolina shrimp, broccolini, squash and tomato."

"Part Italian trattoria, part oyster bar, Jianna is a great stop for a weekend snack after sightseeing (see the abbreviated "piccolo" menu) or a leisurely lunch or dinner. Overlooking scenic Falls Park in downtown Greenville, it's situated in a gorgeous, airy space. Start with chilled West and East Coast oysters or the honey whipped ricotta crostini."

"Located in the heart of downtown Greenville, Jianna is known for its homemade pasta. Made fresh daily, the funky shaped noodles pair perfectly with the restaurant’s modern take on Italian classics. The selection of fresh oysters and the wine menu is also worth calling in a reservation."

"The menu is upscale traditional American, with specialties including filet mignon, Larkin’s she crab soup and Larkin’s shrimp and grits. The interior is comfortable and inviting with mostly wooden furnishings – including the walls and ceiling – a full bar and an attractive outdoor seating area. Take advantage of the outdoor seating when there is a performance at the TD Bank amphitheater adjacent to the restaurant."

"Enjoy some southern hospitality and a classic steak lunch or dinner with waterfront views at Larkin’s On The River on South Main Street. The award-winning restaurant offers superb seafood starters and a house specialty of dry-aged steak. Larkin’s love their wine too, have a well-stocked cellar and serve top labels by the glass."

"Next we got the jerk chicken quesadilla and the taco combo with the Southern Tide and the Mother Clucker.” See all Willy Taco reviews"

"After a long day of riding my trusty stead around four states. I stumbled into ole William Taco for a breather before carrying on my journey."

"Tin Lizzy’s Cantina’s motto is “friends serving friends.” Whether you’re local or visiting, they want you to have the best time possible. They offer a variety of Mexican food as well as original Margaritas. Head there with some friends and enjoy a fun night."

"Okay, Ink N Ivy may also be in Charleston, but this restaurant has an aesthetic we can't pass up. At this location just off of Main street, a former pawn shop now has the look and feel of a tattoo parlor with black and green leather seats, wrought iron chandeliers and inked brick walls. To tie in the "ivy," head to the rooftop to relax at the garden bar.The restaurant makes for an easy choice for a decadent brunch of southern classics like chicken and waffles or shrimp and grits."
