Although it is but a few years old, Mr. Crisp has become one of Greenville’s go-to spots for a well-executed seafood meal, served with expedient hospitality and little fuss. The menu at Mr. Crisp offers properly fried or sautéed fresh fish, shrimp, and oysters, served with local vegetables and handmade versions of familiar sauces. It’s a welcome addition for those seeking a chef-driven meal without the hassle of navigating crowded city streets.
Owners Greg and Beth McPhee have left Greenville, leaving Chef Carlos Baez at the helm of Mr. Crisp. Under his guidance, the restaurant continues to deliver exceptional dining experiences. Baez, who embraces his Puerto Rican heritage, surprises diners with unique weekly menus that showcase his culinary skills. Additionally, Justin Hafermen’s clever cocktail creations add an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.
During a recent evening at Mr. Crisp, guests were treated to a delightful array of dishes. The beef tartare, tossed with culantro, smoked tonnato sauce, and turmeric, was a standout, served with plantain chips and fresh horseradish. The plate of candy stripe and gold beets with sumac yogurt, dandelion greens, and hazelnut granola delighted beet enthusiasts.
The menu featured a soft-shell crab served over warm mofongo, New Bedford scallops atop warm polenta, and a whole fried loup de mer marinated in achiote. Each dish showcased the chef’s expertise and appreciation for fresh, quality seafood.
Mr. Crisp’s dedication to serving fresh seafood evokes memories of dining in southern Louisiana. The restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation is evident in every dish, making it a standout destination for seafood lovers.
