"For an unbeatable dinning experience, we highly recommend Pomegranate on Main in downtown Greenville. Located directly across from Fall Park Bridge you have a nice dinning experience with easy access to a casual or romantic walk along the Falls. Optonal outdoor seating is avaialble for those who enjoy the fresh air."

"The mint, cheese and butter complementary plate, with fresh warm bread is always a wonderful way to start a meal. This is helped by the Pommegranite Martini (dangerously easy to drink). The lamb is particularly good, although the sauce - though good - doesn't seem necessary. The rice seemed a wee bit dry this time, but still a very enjoyable meal."

"Pomegranate on Main was a delight. Our table for 6 was ready when we arrived. The menu was explained an Victoria, our server was very helpful without being imposing. We all enjoyed the well prepared food, drinks, and ambiance. Being new to Greenville, we were fortunate to have found a place that met the needs of 6 who all have a bit of "foodie" going on. The entire experience was a surprise for us. We think you should try it."

"As usual, the food at Pomegranate's is wonderful and came without a long wait. Our server was very pleasant however, she never asked if anyone wanted coffee or dessert. I happened that some of our group was interested in the dessert menu since they had never been to Pomegranate before but decided just to pay the checks since they were at the table. I felt a bit rushed."

"We enjoyed everything about our visit! It was our anniversary and they seated us at a quiet table under a heater on their beautiful outdoor patio. The server was very prompt and attentive to our needs and able to answer all our questions about the menu and the Gluten Free items. Being gluten-intolerant, I was excited that I could eat everything on their menu (besides bread and cakes)! We were extremely pleased with the flavor, presentation and authentic nature of our food. We left having not only a wonderful meal, but a memorable experience that we will not soon forget! I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends, particularly those on a gluten-free diet!"

"My family of 4 and I went to Pomegranate to celebrate a birthday! We wanted something a little fancy, but not over the top and Pomegranate fit the bill. Their apps were amazing! A complaint would be that we ordered 2 appetizers and when they brought the pita basket to go with it, it only had 4-5 pieces in it, so we were always waiting for a refill. But even then our server was very sweet and would grab a refill whenever we needed one. We got an assortment of kabobs for the table with the cranberry and lentil rice. I enjoyed the beef kabobs the best and found the chicken kabobs to be a little on the bland side in comparison. We definitely enjoyed the restaurant and are looking forward to going back again."

"Food just ok ...the hummus and spinach "dip" appetizers were very good ...the rack of lamb was cooked nicely but the flavor was just ok, my partner has the lamb kabob and his meat was certainly not as good as mine. I felt there should be much more flavor in the food more aromatics to give it some punch. Service was good, there were 2 large groups in which made it very noisy, and slowed the entree service quite a bit.
Not sure we will go back and cannot say I would recommend either."

"Pomegranate never fails to impress. The food and wait staff cannot be beat. We celebrated my daughter's 23rd birthday at this, her favorite, restaurant and the night was perfect! The wait staff shared in making our experience memorable right down to refrigerating the cake they allowed us to bring and lighting the candles before bringing it to our table. Thank you, Pomegranate, for another wonderful dining experience for my family!"
