New French-Inspired Restaurant Opening in Greenville

News Summary

Greenville is set to welcome a brand-new French-inspired dining establishment from Table 301 Restaurant Group, featuring esteemed Chef Nico Abello. Located at 170 Riverplace, the restaurant will offer an upscale tasting menu with a seasonal focus. Guests can expect elegant dishes, a cozy atmosphere, and breathtaking river views. As renovations take place, pop-up dinners will give diners a sneak peek of the tantalizing offerings, signaling an exciting culinary journey for food lovers in the area.

Exciting New Dining Adventure Coming to Greenville!

Get ready, Greenville! A delightful culinary treat is on the horizon as Table 301 Restaurant Group prepares to unveil a brand-new, *unnamed French-inspired* tasting menu restaurant in the heart of downtown. This soon-to-open hotspot will showcase the talents of renowned Chef Nico Abello and local culinary legend Carl Sobocinski, promising a unique dining experience set against the stunning backdrop of the Reedy River.

Location, Location, Location!

The new dining venue will take over the top floor of The Lazy Goat, located at 170 Riverplace. With its charming atmosphere, this intimate space will accommodate around 50 diners, allowing guests to enjoy sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of the river. It’s the perfect setting for a cozy, upscale night out!

What’s on the Menu?

Opening later in 2025, the menu will closely resemble that of L’Appart, a former Michelin-star restaurant that Chef Abello launched in Manhattan back in 2016. Known for his creativity and culinary finesse, Abello specializes in dishes that are both refined and filled with playful flavors, all thanks to his French training. You can expect exquisite courses featuring seasonal ingredients that shine alongside carefully selected wines from lesser-known family vineyards.

Some *mouthwatering examples* of what diners might savor include:

• Foie gras torchon accompanied by cocoa nib crumble, a touch of sorrel, and refreshing rhubarb gel.
• Kumamoto oysters presented with compressed pineapple, cucumber gel, and the luxurious royal Daurenki caviar.

A New Culinary Home for Abello

Since moving to Upstate South Carolina in 2022, Abello and his wife have fallen in love with the area, and they’re thrilled to bring their passion for high-quality dining to Greenville. Initially starting as a Table 301 venue, this collaborative project will transition to solely being under Chef Abello’s ownership as time goes on, showcasing his vision and expertise.

Renovations and Pop-Up Dinners

Although The Lazy Goat will remain open during renovations, there may be a brief closure this summer. To keep the excitement simmering, Abello plans to host *pop-up dinners* throughout the year, giving diners a sneak peek of the tantalizing offerings on the upcoming menu. This is an excellent opportunity for food enthusiasts to taste the magic that will soon create a buzz in the culinary scene.

Join the Culinary Journey!

This venture mirrors Sobocinski’s previous successful projects, which have included iconic eateries like Papi’s Tacos, Jianna, Passerelle Bistro, Southern Pressed Juicery, and Camp. As Greenville continues to grow as a vibrant dining destination, this partnership promises to elevate the local culinary landscape.
