Urban Wren - Greenville

This place is amazing.Chef Taylor Montgomery is amazing.He makes a tomato sandwich, just basic tomato, bread, and dukes maynoise, and turns it into a work of artThis is the second restaurant I've ever been to that has Brussel sprouts on the menu.But what Taylor does to Brussel sprouts is amazingNot to mention, top of the line bar and serviceTheir cocktails are consistent, and a great spin on traditional cocktails. The waitstaff always smiles. You can tell they are proud, and want to be thereManagement is spot on amazing as wellWe asked the manager if we could speak to Mr Montgomery. Chef was really busy. We were leaving, walking across the street, the manager and Mr Montgomery chased us down to speak to us.I can't say enough good about urban wren.Everyone needs this experience in their life.Amazing

Excellent restaurant. I was skepticalat first due to some of the reviews and how small portion looked for the pricing but I was not let down.The criticism first bc it’s short and I’m grasping at straws:Waited for 5 min at the bar w my date before greeted. Ended taking another 10+ to get the wine and scotch on the rocks we orderedThe good:Food outstanding. Everything was top notch and inventiveChicken/burnt endsBrussel sprouts (plenty of goat cheese and a delicious green sauce also nice and crispy)Pasta dish outstanding. Can’t even remember what it was but the only thing that would have made it better was some lobster in itNice environment. Not too loud. RoomyStaff was great.This is definitely a place that we’ll be going back to esp when they change up the menu

Had a wonderful time eating there the other night! Laura was a fabulous bar tender getting me a drink out of my normal routine. She also ended up being our server once we sat down and she was attentive without hovering. We had everything delivered to the table in a timely manner and it was all delicious!Thanks for a great evening!

I’ve been to Urban Wren so many times and I’m never disappointed. The waitstaff are knowledgeable, kind, and they make your experience fun. I’ve been for birthdays, date nights, and Mother’s Day. I love that they rotate their menu and seriously aren’t afraid to play with flavors to make some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had. If you’re debating? This is your message to go!

I will be talking about my meal at Urban Wren for years. I cannot even begin to tell you my favorite dish because we had 17 plates off the menu and every single one was PHENOMENAL. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive. They made great wine/cocktail suggestions and made sure we never had to ask for anything. The atmosphere is what is most lovely, as it is a relaxed, almost causal setting despite being a gourmand’s dream. It makes for the perfect spot for both special occasions AND casual dinners out. Chef Taylor and team, you are all outstanding!
