The Wine Program
Greenville's No. 3-rated restaurant on TripAdvisor, Sassafras is a Southern bistro with a surprisingly expansive wine program curated by owner Martin Hill. The by-the-glass and bottle lists cover both Old and New World, with particular strength in American reds and Southern-friendly whites. Staff are genuinely knowledgeable about pairings with shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and filet with house-made pimento.
The Value Play
Wine Wednesday is the headline: all bottles half price, up to $40 off. That turns a $70 bottle of Napa Cab into a steal. The food is pure Greenville comfort at fair prices. No pretension, no gatekeeping, just solid wine with solid food.
Why Reliable
Sassafras won't surprise you with orange wines from Croatia, but it will pour you a well-selected bottle at half price on Wednesdays and pair it with food that makes sense. Consistent quality, fair pricing, knowledgeable staff. Exactly what Reliable means.

✔️ The Bottom Line
Sassafras delivers honest wine pairings with Southern comfort food and half-price bottles every Wednesday. Nothing flashy, just well-executed. The definition of Reliable.
