After a soft open Monday, the new Passerelle Bistro officially opens today in the park-side space that previously housed the Overlook Grill. The restaurant overlooking Falls Park in downtown Greenville will offer French-inspired fare for lunch and dinner seven days a week.
“Without doing a ton of structural work, they’ve made some pretty significant changes,” said Gina Boulware, spokeswoman for Table 301 Restaurant Group, which owns the restaurant. The space now features an open kitchen with a nine-seat chef’s bar. An awning was added for protected seating outside, and a bathroom was also added inside. Previously, the Overlook Grill had used nearby public bathroom facilities. Boulware said the new design is intended to encourage customers to take advantage of indoor seating more than they had in the previous restaurant.
The restaurant will be run by Chef Teryi Youngblood, who had previously served as chef of the Overlook Grill. Before that, she had been pastry chef at Soby’s.
Table 301 operates Soby’s, The Lazy Goat, Nose Dive, Devereaux’s, Soby’s on the Side and Table 301 Catering. The company recently announced that Devereaux’s would be closing this fall. Offices are set to fill the space afterward.
