Attention seafood lovers! Exciting developments are in the works for the culinary scene in Greenville, as a shiny new seafood restaurant, “Abyss,” is set to open its doors in early spring 2025! This vibrant spot will take the place of the former Reid’s Fine Foods at 1 N. Laurens St., and it’s bringing a fresh perspective to dining in the area.
The renaming from “The Dutchman” to “Abyss” symbolizes a significant shift in vision for the ownership group, who aims to create a dining experience that’s not only delicious but also resonates with the community. Rest assured, this transformation is about more than just a name change; it promises a whole new level of seafood dining that hasn’t been seen in Greenville before!
Leading the charge at Abyss are seasoned restaurateurs Geno Iozzino and Anmar Natheer, both of whom have made quite a name for themselves in downtown Greenville. They’re well known for their impressive work with the restaurants from The One5, 05, and 07 groups. With their creative vision and vast experience, the duo promises to bring an unforgettable culinary journey to the area.
A centerpiece of the restaurant will be a spectacular glass raw bar, showcasing the freshest catches from the ocean! Guests can expect to indulge in customizable seafood bowls featuring delights like shrimp, crab legs, oysters, and fresh tuna slices—all beautifully presented on a bed of ice or in a towering display!
Abyss will also aim to elevate the dining experience by offering an impressive selection of homemade sauces to accompany their delectable dishes. From zesty horseradish to smooth wasabi, diners will have the chance to add their flavors to the fresh seafood. Talk about a culinary playground!
This new gastronomic hotspot is gearing up to cater to a variety of palates and schedules. Expect to see a high-end buffet option that marries luxury with convenience, along with a delightful weekend brunch that will undoubtedly become a favorite for those lazy Sunday mornings! Plus, the ambiance will switch it up after 9 p.m., transforming the dining vibe for evening patrons. Think cozy yet chic—perfect for evening out with friends or a special date night!
What makes Abyss even more special is that it’s backed by local investors who are firmly rooted in the Greenville community. Dustin Brown, owner of Palmetto Upstate Group, and Jim Ogle of Ogle Construction are throwing their support behind this venture, ensuring it stays connected to its local roots.
While there isn’t a specific opening date locked in just yet, the buzz around Abyss is palpable. Set to open its doors in early spring 2025, the culinary community is already buzzing with anticipation. As Anmar Natheer described, it’s all about cultivating “a simple, fresh, and unique seafood experience” that will fill a gap in Greenville’s fine dining landscape.
So, mark your calendars, seafood aficionados! Abyss is on the horizon, ready to transform your dining escapades into a flavorful ocean voyage. Keep an eye out for more updates as the opening date approaches—you definitely won’t want to miss this!
