Local Greenville seafood restaurant in challenging spot closing after less than two years

GREENVILLE — The Ottaray Raw Bar & Taphouse, a seafood restaurant that inhabited the corner spot of an aging shopping mall on Laurens Road, announced it is closing its doors after less than two years. In a Facebook post, the restaurant said the decision was forced by business being slower than hoped. Nov. 8 was its last day. “We poured our hearts, time, and energy into making The Ottaray something special. We gave it our all, and while things didn’t turn out the way we envisioned, we are incredibly proud of what we created and the memories made along the way,” the business wrote on Facebook. T...

Northwest Grill’s burgers make it a roadside gem: City Juice with John Malik

I’m not a fan of labeling any restaurant “the best” at anything because much of what we enjoy in life is contextual. Lunch with friends is a lot more fun than lunch without friends. That’s why I brought Diego Campos (executive chef, Camp) and Jason Janson (Broadwater Shrimp) to Northwest Grill where we had a great meal.

Fury dominate stat sheet but fall to Gaffney in AAAA playoffs

Friday the 13th and strange things were afoot in Gaffney as the #1-seed Indians hosted Fountain Inn in round two of the Class AAAA Playoffs. Going into Friday night, if you had told the Fury coaches they’d outgain Gaffney 436 total yards to 187 and run 93 plays to only 31, they’d be making plans for their next matchup. Unfortunately for Fountain Inn they saw their season end on a number of big plays, especially in special teams, as the Fury fell 35-21.
