STIR now open downtown and Father’s Day is this weekend: Weekly Dish
STIR Greenville opened June 9, bringing with it artisanal ice, seafood and a raw bar.
The restaurant opened across from Yee-Haw Brewing Co. at 214 E. McBee St. in downtown Greenville. The 6,000-square-foot restaurant is located inside the 300 E. McBee development with a 400-seat capacity and lunch, dinner and weekend brunch hours. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating for alfresco dining at tables and at the bar.
On June 5, the restaurant held a special lunch to give a first look at the menu.
We tried the lobster crab cakes and seared tuna salad. The favorite of the two were the lobster crab cakes, comprising both lobster and lump crab meat sitting atop a bed of caper remoulade, arugula and lemon oil. The lemon oil was an unlooked-for-but-complementary addition to the dish, given the natural offset of the citrus to the briny flavors of the crab and capers.
For those who visit and crave a little more than a bite to eat, consider grabbing a cocktail. One of the draws of the Chattanooga, Tennessee-based eatery is its hand-cut ice. Each piece is specially carved for each cocktail.
STIR Greenville is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to midnight.

Father’s Day is June 15 and if you haven’t planned anything for your dear old dad, here are a couple of options for dinner:

Finally, Patterson Kitchen + Bar will host an Orin Swift wine dinner June 19. Orin Swift is a winery in California known for its sundry portfolio.
Each item on the menu will be paired with an Orin Swift wine. Patterson has teased tuna crudo, chocolate ganache and scallops as part of its four-course menu. The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. Reservations can be made on OpenTable.
