Eric the manager and Gunner our server were amazing last night. The food was great. We went to all of the “high end” restaurants in Clemson this week. Rick Erwin’s at Clemson is hands down our favorite. You don’t want to miss the food and service

We brought two couples to Sullivan’s for the first time-they enjoyed everything-from the delicious appetizers(Scallops and Hushpuppies) to the entrees-Trigger de Mere, Ribeye, Filet Mignon, Lobster pasta and the new Salmon entree. Best part was the wonderful service provided by Jeff-he always makes the meal more enjoyable! Thank you Sullivan’s for being our number one choice for dinner!
