Sullivan's Metropolitan Grill, downtown Anderson's most celebrated restaurant will close it's doors Sept. 12 after two years mounting losses due the down economy. We will miss the grouper, the lamb and if not the finest desserts in town (at least tied for first), and owner Bill Nikas and his staff. (See goodbye "From Where I Sit").
Sullivan's Metropolitan Grill opened in February of 1995 in the historic Sullivan Hardware building in the heart of downtown Anderson. Chef Bill Nikas’ cuisine is defined as Bold American Cuisine with a Touch of the Mediterranean with emphasis on fresh seafood and aged Beef. Greek and Southern influences make an eclectic combination. Featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal in July, 2001, the restaurant has received the wine spectator award of excellence four years in a row. The restaurant is triple diamond rated; annually listed in Foders restaurant guide and voted Best Restaurant in Anderson for the past three years.
