I had the best time here. Tapas were amazing. Razor clams were a gourmet delight. Friendly staff. Good music. Highly recommended.

Good music and customer service... Dj NY and DJ Jam be hitting hard on the mixes... Had fun and thank you guys for everything...

The Tapas were delicious! Price is reasonable and the service I received was fantastic! I would recommend the 5 Tapas and get ready to order double of that because they were great!

These stuffed peppers were not hot but so tasty. Thank You Justin,the Chef for the recommendation. Service was great.

Love this place! I can’t wait to go back there .

Perfect place if youre looking to dance.

Great food. Beware this place routinely overcharges.My wife and I had four tapas, the bill was $10.0 more than the menu says.They were slammed, my wife and I normally dont go out to eat during restaurant week, its such a zoo.We had trouble getting the check, so I asked my wife to add up what we had from the menu. I was leaving a 25% plus tip. As we were leaving the waitress went and got our check.Lo and behold the four items we had eaten added up to $10.00 more than the menu. The waitress said they havent updated the menu.If you want to eat somewhere that has good food and have no idea what the bill will be, this is the place for you

Eating here is like revisiting southern Spain! Authentic Spanish dishes made with imported Spanish ingredients, prepared by Spanish-trained chef, Justin. Dont be fooled by the tapas (appetizers) only menu, these tapas, like the actual Spanish style, will be a meal (when you get 3-5+). We had the goat cheese stuffed mushrooms, artichokes, jamon y queso, calamari, and seafood paella- all cooked to perfection. The creme brulee was the best Ive ever tasted, with a perfect thin sugar crust and tasty custard beneath. The jamon serrano is also from Spain, a truly smoked/cured ham, not the smoke flavor we have here. You can taste the difference. The ambiance is inviting and cozy. While we didnt have any alcohol, they do offer several beer choices, and homemade sangria - which I will need to try on my next visit! This place is a MUST for Spanish food!

The service was really personalizes and Tapas really good.

Fantastic food and a wonderful welcoming staff! This is for sure my new favorite spot in greenville!

Delicious food, great service, and wonderful atmosphere. Must try their amazing chicken croquettes!!

Everyone enjoyed the food. Come here for a snack if you have half a day to wait. Be prepared for them to add on a fairly generous tip without notice. I doubt I have enough time in my schedule to ever go back.

We dined here per request of a friend, and it was the perfect pick. Fortunately for us, they werent very busy likely because it was raining.The staff members were friendly and greeted us with pleasant smiles.Six of us were able to share the portions from each entree (tapas style).There was a special of 5 Tapas for $30. The guys ordered all of the tapas while us gals gabbed. They were all good, but the ones that stopped us in tracks was the Calamari, Ox tails, and Paella. The Paella was the BEST!!!The staff even surprised us with birthday desserts for our friends. Well-done!Atmosphere: mood is great for a date night or intimate group of friends. It is dimly-lit and not a massive restaurant space. The upstairs portion of the restaurant seemed like they were about to turn up as we were getting ready to leave.

Good selection of tapas! We tried 5 dishes and they were all delicious. Service was a little odd but we were told it was because they were short staffed. The atmosphere is very nice for a date night with roses at tables, Spanish music, and dim lights. Overall I recommend trying this place out as its different than other restaurants in Greenville.

Had dinner here during restaurant week in Greenville. The food was good but not incredible - the small plates all came out quickly. Too quickly... They were barely warm and it seems like stuff was being reheated. Ill give them another try. The sangria was ok, but like the food, not the best Ive had by a long shot.

Food wise this place is delicious. Authentic Spanish dishes, great services and staff. Definitely will be returning for sure!Club wise (after 10PM)....definitely need a better DJ for Friday nights. Last year after April they had the best music ever on Friday nights and now its just a bore that its practically empty. Saturdays are amazingly fun but so hot inside.

The food is delicious, but the service is really bad. (Apparently theyre recently under new management?)The server kept putting most of the food in front of me, even though the small table made this awkward, and even though my friend was reaching for the food he had ordered.The servers knew basically nothing about the wine, they could only tell me which ones were the most popular (spoiler alert: the higher priced ones!).They persisted in referring to the dishes by the Portugese names, even though we had used the name of the predominant ingredient in the dish to order. This was especially frustrating when there was an issue with splitting the check. (Side note: Im open to learning Portugese, but its challenging when Im drinking wine and the menu has been taken away.)Speaking of the check, when I asked to split it the server asked, do you want that split two ways? (Huh? Theres only 2 of us!) I said we wanted to each pay for the things we had ordered. She split the check into equal amounts. 15 minutes and 5 perplexed questions later, she finally got our checks right.

Excellent tapas.. Small sharable plates... We went for restaurant week and it was excellent. Everyone liked what they got. A good selection of vegetarian options. Wine and beer and well as liquor. Overall... Excellent!

Great food that is unique and so delicious. Have to try outside the box food and promise you will not be disappointed. Staff went out of way to ensure we were enjoying the experience. Only slight downside was the entertainment...while very engaging and beautiful dancing the type of dancing that requires multiple heavy stomps was a bit unnerving when directly beside your table. Suggest moving a bit further from dinners for max experience. Manager did provide a free glass of wine realizing that it was a bit overwhelming to be so close but kudos to the perform as it was very beautiful...just a bit close for comfort!

The tapas are a wonderful selection of true Spanish offerings. These aren’t the Spanish names for these dishes but the Stuffed mushrooms, Spanish salad, Stuffed chicken, shrimp skewers, Calamari— all amazing. Ambiance is wonderful replete with Spanish guitar music. Oh, and, Sangria Blanco is perfect summer drink! We love this place!

Amazing experience. The food was authentic, atmosphere was romantic and the owner as well as staff were helpful and genuine. First experience but it won’t be my last! As a restaurant general manager amazing guest service is super important you can’t beat it! Please support them and spread the word.

Great atmosphere, AMAZING food. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went there for my birthday and I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my special occasion. Highly recommended.

The phone is not set upThe website doesn’t workNot sure how they take orders

Being Spanish, I give high praise to the authenticity of the tapas. Like a trip to Spain. The wines are overpriced though.

My friend and I had a great time partying it up on a Saturday night here. She mentioned how much she loved the range and diversity of people. The music was also a great mix. We would definitely return.

Delicious food and delicious drinks!! Our favorite new hangout! The owners are super personable and we were super impressed with our tapas. We will definitely be back and bring our friends!!

Went here with a friend and we loved everything about this place! The service was exceptional. We tried 3 tapas and a couple of wines, and everything was absolutely delicious! Portions are generous. I will definitely be coming back to this place, and I highly suggest it!

Everything is delicious! Tapas are perfect to share with friends! The atmosphere is nice and perfect for dancing the night away!

Very good small plates great atmosphere laid back

Absolutely incredible food. Almost everything we had was a 10 of 10, and the pork cheek in wine sauce is one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life, the meatballs were also unbelievable. I could not recommend this place more highly.

Love the diversity the music just a great place 2 have fun

People are so nice here and they get down lol be ready to burn some energy

No amount of good food is worth the complete lack of service. Three strikes. Were not going back.

Love dancing here.

Great Tapas restaurant and bar in downtown Greenville. Service was great and they have a great menu. Food and sangrias were awesome.

I went for a romantic date to Abanico, loved the food and ambiance. I tried a plate with octopus I cant remember the name but it was so delicious and the octopus was so soft it melted on my mouth. What made it more special was the set up of the table, a red rose in the middle of the table really set the mood.

Had a fun night out with friends.

Wonderful date night with my hubby! Having traveled extensively in Spain, I can vouch for the authenticity of the tapas. The Octopus, Garbanzo and Sausage and the Seafood Paella were all delicious; not to mention the Jamon and Cheese plate! Highly recommend this laid back, high quality food restaurant in downtown Greenville. Liz, our server was The Best!

I’ll give this one place a 1 star. If you guys every go here make sure you bring cash. I swiped my card for 1 beer and they “System” charged me 4 times and charged me the wrong amount. This place is never Getting my service again

Awesome sangria and great tapas. Paella is excellent here. Wonderful as always. The food the service are great. We keep coming back everytime were in town.

ABSOLUTELY amazing.. Step out of you comfort zone.. Its a wonderful time and meal

This place was phenomenal - the pork beef was literally the best bite I’ve had in a long time. Very foodie chef and it shows in his plates - I want a platter and a ladle super cute atmosphere and the staff are super friendly!

Great place to dance ...great service...great food..

Terrible Spanish tapas, no authentic at all. The ham and cheese is the only tapas that are authentic but you can find it at the supermarket. Dont waste you tme and money. Service was not professional for a restaurant.

From the quality of service to the incredible food, this place is a diamond in the rough of chains and restaurant conglomerates in downtown Greenville. Were sad we didnt try it sooner.

One of the best meals weve had in Greenville. Hidden gem! Delicious tapas- great value. Can’t wait to come back.

Dont waste your time. staff is unfriendly and the prices arent are terrible

Awesome staff! Juan and Christian are guys who take pride in what they do and their customer experience makes me want to go back.

Delicious food and wonderful service! Cant wait to go back!

The food was fantastic. I was shocked how tender the octopus was. I will definitely be back.

We really like tapas, & liked the variety. Everything we tried was delicious!

Really nice atmosphere and delicious food. Also, a great place for a dancing night!

The place is okay ,nothing special..

Great atmosphere & service!

Love the vibe

The food is always outstanding... The service not as good as the food but soooo much better and friendlier than the last time we were thereGlad we gave it a second try!!!

Great tapas, good beer selection and friendly service

LOVELY PLACE TO GO ON A DATE! VERY CLEAN AND WELCOMING!

El Abanico has a lot of great choices, but I was left with a couple disappointments. First, I’d like to say the croquettes are delicious along with the berenjena, calamari, tortilla, and patatas bravas. The only two things I wouldn’t order is the excruciatingly small portion of pulpo (octopus) and the falsely advertised jamón ibérico. The jamón isn’t ibérico, but just a low quality Serrano ham that can be bought at Aldi, same with the queso de cabra that accompanies it. Other than that it’s pretty good.

The food never ever disappoints

Great Spanish food. Authentic.

Amazing night club

Great small plates

Delicious tapas, great atmosphere

Great pub style restaurant, the view is nice!

Sooo goood...

Fantastic food and service

Had a good time

Delicious Spanish tapas!

Love the Italian food

It stays lit !!!

Good !

I was so excited to try this restaurant! Greenville has some great spots, but theres A LOT of repetition. Abanico exceeded my expectations for an authentic SPAINish meal! I have had the real deal before. Now I can have the real deal without bribing a friend to cook for me or traveling! The textures in SPAINish food are important and tricky. The rice, squid, and calamari are done RIGHT. The flavors are on point! They. Use. Seasonings. Spices. Herbs. Chef Heather doesnt rely on salt to make her food taste great! The fried stuff isnt greasy! The desserts are decadent (you might need to get the chocolate torte to go so you can be alone with it). Im not a big fan of eggplant, but I ate half of my husbands side of it!I already know what Im ordering next time. Wednesday is BOGO PAELLA DAY, and Im getting the Valencia paella... The next time Im getting the oxtail croquettes!

Excelentes paellas tapas bien elaboradas les recomiendo
