The Great Bay Oyster House, Greer, SC

GREER. Located in downtown Greer, this relaxed, friendly hangout brims over with locals on weekend evenings. Great Bay serves up galvanized bucket loads of oysters, clams, and shrimp. The menu features the oyster variety of the week, available raw by the half or full dozen. Seafood is prepared straight from the boat, and most is available raw, steamed, broiled or fried. Tantalizing po boys are stuffed with the crisp vinegar based house coleslaw and piled high with your choice of fried seafood. Other great choices include the Kobe beef burger and boneless pork loin. Exposed brick walls and tasteful marine-themed art and photographs adorn the interior, and two large dining rooms posses a fully stocked bar, complete with tasty microbrews and plenty of buckets for the shells. Smart casual attire.

Gerard's Restaurant, Greer, SC

Gerard Cribbin was born in Cleveland, Ohio and now resides in Mauldin, South Carolina. He is the chef and coproprietor of Gerard's Restaurant in Greer. He is partnered with Robert Conway who he met in Puerto Rico in 1994. Mr. Conway was Gerard's favorite customer and Gerard was Mr. Conway's favorite chef.
Their vision of opening a fine dining restaurant in the upstate started in June of 2000. Mr. Conway flew the chef and his family into Greenville and it was love at first sight! Gerard moved to Greenville in May 2002. Plans were developed and the restaurant opened to the public on June 9, 2003. His family includes his wife Jessamine, daughter Samantha and sons Geronimo and Tucker.
The backbone of his culinary training came from the famed Filomena restaurant in Washington D. C. where he spent ten years working directly under the tutelage of Commendatore Vittorio Testa. He has cooked for many dignitaries and celebrities including George Bush Sr., German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Dick Cheney, Alan Greenspan, and Charlton Heston among many others. Since the age of fifteen he has worked in restaurants and has known since then that it was his life's calling. Recently the restaurant was featured in Southern Living Magazine and has been very successful in its first three years of operation.
