    Great spot. A very clean mildly fancy family restaurant that NEVER DISAPPOINTS. They always have oyster stew on the menu and it's always fresh and delicious

    Chicken rissoto
    Mike F.

    This restaurant In Clemmons came highly recommended by a friend friend. We were all tuned up for prime rib - arrived at 6:00 p.m. sharp on a Saturday night. We seated immediately, but at a dirty table in the corner and it was hot as blazes. There was water and salt all over the place. Obviously they had not cleaned from the previous occupant. Strike One! We asked for a different seat and were taken to a booth in the main dining room. The booth was a touch tight and the table wouldn't move. Turns out the seat had moved due to some heavyweights on the other side. They left shortly and we were able to reclaim some space. Our server arrived promptly and took our drink orders. She failed to mention the nightly specials (that were on a blackboard hidden by other customers waiting for a table. Turns out we would have ordered at least one of the specials. Again, we went because they have prime rib on Friday and Saturday nights. So we order prime rib, and immediately the server says we're out! Now remember this is 6 PM on Saturday night. Strike two! So we ordered some things from the menu, including a chicken risotto some chicken strips and a chicken flatbread pizza pit. Our food came rather quickly straight from the kitchen and really hot. That's the way it should be. So the risotto had great flavor however had way too many olives. Unfortunately, the olive taste overpowered the flavorful risotto and chicken. Johns flatbread pizza was good, and Carolyn's chicken strips with fries were good. We had salads. And to be honest, the raspberry vinaigrette dressing was among the best I've ever had. This place has so much potential. It's a nice pleasant atmosphere. They have a full service bar with a good selection of beer and wine and cocktails. But come on you're out of prime rib at 6 o'clock on a Saturday night! What's that about? Sounds like poor kitchen management to me. Our friend said the prime rib was really really good so chances are we will try it one more time but it could be three strikes and you're out! Too many good restaurants in the triad to waste time on one that can't seem to get it right.

    Chicken Risotto

    First time visiting and had a positive experience. Upscale 80's ambience. Prompt and friendly service. Food was delicious.

    Came in with a larger party, and the restaurant was so accommodating. It was also prom season which always complicates things! I asked the server if I wanted the chicken risotto or another dish, when he heard I like olives, he said the risotto and I could not have made a better choice myself, The place is in a cute little building surrounded by businesses and parking is atrocious. It's worth the headache over parking for the food, though!

    The food was good and delicious. Service was fast. We went on a Sunday evening and it was not crowded.

    Lobster Nachos
    Allison P.

    We ate at the bar a few weeks ago and the food was so good! We ordered shareable: lobster nachos, chicken skewer, and Greek salad. All so good! Prices are reasonable and service is attentive and friendly. Solid staple in Clemmons!

    Fried calamari
    Zac G.

    (3.5 stars) Anticipating a visit to Old Nick's afterward, our group of four sought a dinner option in the Clemmons/Lewisville area. 2520 moved toward the front of the line by virtue of not being a chain though the intriguing menu certainly bolstered its case as well. On food alone, 2520 offers the makings of an excellent meal, but the overall experience is mixed. Though 2520 is spacious, the restaurant was full when we arrived on a Saturday night. No worries: the wait was hardly unbearable. 2520 slots in somewhere between sit-down casual and fine dining, and the atmosphere - low-key classy - reflects that. As a seafood fan, I was pleased to see how many fish and seafood options 2520 had available. The appetizers alone boast calamari, muscles, Thai shrimp, and lobster nachos, and the entrees throw several fish dishes into the mix. For those less aquatically inclined, there are steaks, sandwiches, pastas, risottos, burgers, and salads. The menu is appealingly well-rounded though, oddly enough, cranberries feature in an inordinate number of dishes. Our group started with a fried calamari, my wife opted for the peppery goat burger, and I tried the stuffed flounder. The calamari came not with the classic marinara but rather with roasted red pepper, cranberries (removable upon request), candied pecans, parmesan, and a citrus herb vinaigrette. This version was lighter than others yet still flavorful, and the calamari were cooked well. The flounder was preceded by a generously sized salad (I opted for Caesar) and was very good. It came with a rich scampi cream sauce, to which tomatoes added a bright and tangy note. Asparagus proved to be a welcome complement. The burger, though messy, featured a very tasty pepper jelly. That said, 2520's pricing and service are both up-and-down. The appetizer ($12) and the burger ($12.50 with a side included) were definitely reasonable though at close to $30, the stuffed flounder was a bit of a reach. Our server was polite, but we ended up waiting for close to a half hour just to get our checks. From what I've gathered, "slow" is the default speed rather than the product of heavy volume. Were it not for these issues, I would gladly return to 2520. The food was good, and the menu holds plenty of promise. However, if I do come back, it would have to be on a day when I have time to spare.

    Side Caesar Salad
    Cam O.

    Just moved back to area and have heard about this place quite a few times so I decided to check it out. Atmosphere was very laid back dim lit areas throughout the area perfect date night spot. The menu had something for everyone which I always take into consideration and find that as a plus. I started with the bread that they give you along with some compound butter which was phenomenal you don't see that to often. Following that was my side salad which seemed as if it was made very authentic very good. For the entree I went with the Salmon Piccata with the shrimp on top it was amazing with great flavor. Now that I live close I will definitely come back and visit more frequently. The service was great as well. Great spot!

    My favorite time to eat here is during lunch because that's the only time they offer the Chicken Marsala dish which is my absolute favorite. The service is always wonderful and I love the food & cocktails.

If you have enough butter and sauces you can add some flavor, but a lot of the blandness remains, for me anyway. I've had seafood boils on the beach at Cape Cod, Hyman's Seafood in Charleston, and Willie's Boil House in the French Quarter, among others. And I was blown away by none. In a discussion with a friend, he disagreed with my position and suggested I give some local spots a try, and be very generous with all types of accompanying sauces, especially spicy ones, and don't skip the butter! So I am planning to try a few spots heading into the new year, starting with this spot. I ordered the weekend special, shrimp, lobster tail, and small crab cluster. This comes with potatoes and corn. This was not at all a bad meal, the shrimp were very tasty. The lobster tail was a bit chewy though the flavor was nice. The crab cluster produced some nice bits of meat, but this was a very small cluster. The veggies were just ok, on the dull side. While not all bad, this was very expensive and I would not come close to ordering this again - in fact I don't see a return visit, period!

    Y'all have heard of seafood boils. Some call them Low Country Boils. I call this the LOWER Country…read moreBoil. Mariscada en Bolsa. Seafood in a bag. Not only did I have the pleasure of trying this absolutely amazing dish, I had the pleasure of having leftovers. Let me tell y'all. This? This is food. This is where culture means Cajun. This is where innovation meets culinary. A quick run down of what we're looking at here. First, I have the seafood boat. A LITERAL boat topped with a fish as the sail. Ugly fish staring at me, but absolutely delicious. Crispy. Yummy. The boat had the BEST ceviche I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Fresh, seafoody, and scrumptious. Pair this with crab, extremely crispy fried shrimp, oysters, more shrimp, and so many things I could write a post about just this item and still feel like it's not enough. Second, I have the House Sauce Seafood Boil. Now, this is just the prototype. They're also wanting to add sausage to this, make different types, as well as do a headless shrimp version. This was... What can I say? Delicious? Juicy? Scrumptious? What I do know to say is this: I'd buy it again. It was massive, it was filling, it was messy. Last and not least, we have the Super Fajitas. 4 kinds of meat, vegetables, tortillas. This is a meat lover's dream with sour cream. Delectable. Sizzling. Fresh. Mmm. Leftovers. The fancy drink? Locarita. Pink Flamingo or something like that. That was allllll my wife's and she savored every sip. There was more than enough food here. We ended up with enough leftovers to last us a year, I swear. Try it out. Let me know. Let's geek out about fresh food from a fantastic staff with the best food, and honestly, the best family environment. Bonus picture of my wife kissing the ugly fish. She's my better half and the more adventurous eater.

    We stepped a little outside the Triad for this visit, and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we…read morewalked into Los Muelles Mexican Seafood & Grill, we felt welcomed -- not just as customers, but as guests. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm, and the energy is just good. You can tell immediately that a lot of heart, time, and pride went into creating this space. We originally planned on getting queso and chips, but the owner recommended the seafood dip instead... and I'm thankful we listened. It was creamy, rich, and loaded with seafood. So good that at times we were literally asking each other, "Wait... what seafood is this?" -- and we didn't care because every bite was amazing. Then came the Barco El Patrón seafood boat, and whew. That thing is no joke. The presentation alone is impressive, but the flavor and portion size took it to another level. This is absolutely a shareable dish -- enough food for multiple people -- and you can tell a lot of effort goes into making it just right. My birria taquitos were hands down the best birria I've had in North Carolina. Crispy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with care. Every bite was worth it. And let's talk about the drinks. I had a cocktail flight created by Erica, and every single one was delicious. Balanced, smooth, and full of flavor -- not overly strong, just made really well. I enjoyed all four without feeling overwhelmed, which says a lot. But honestly, what stood out the most was the hospitality. Erica and her husband were kind, attentive, and genuinely thankful that we were there. They even refused our tips, which just shows the type of people they are. You can feel the love they have for their business and their customers. This is the kind of place you're happy to support. Amazing food, great drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and people who truly care. We'll definitely be back.

When we first walked in, it was busy and we heard the hostess tell the couple in front of us they would need to wait over an hour for a table - Lucky for me my wife made reservations and we were seated immediately! It was a bit on the noisy side but not so bad we couldn't have a conversation. Our servers, Thomas, was fantastic start to finish with good recommendations, attentive service without being overbearing, and a great personality. Good staff make a business shine! We started with glasses of wine and were impressed with how generous they poured. Perhaps it was a visual illusion, but they felt like very large glasses of wine and made it feel like a very good value. They have a good selection of wines to choose from along with a full bar. Appetizer was the Crab Cake Egg Rolls, something I don't think I've seen anywhere else. They're cooked in Beef Tallow which gave a very savory flavor and crispy texture. They were a bit on the oily side but overall flavor was delicious, and I really liked the dipping sauce which was like a very herb-heavy tartar sauce. For entrees, my wife had the Filet and I had a New York Strip. I don't have the words to describe how delicious and perfectly prepared both of these were. I didn't even bother asking for steak sauce because the perfectly tender and seasoned steak didn't need it. Nobody wants to pay high prices for a steak and receive something low quality, and I was thrilled with the quality of the steaks here. Surrounding tables likewise had great looking meals and I overheard them voicing pleasure too. As sides go, the baked potatoes and salads were excellent too. I got the hot bacon vinegarette dressing and was surprised it was actually served quite hot. It had a really rich and slightly tangy flavor that was unique and I really enjoyed on my salad. I have no complaints here and will absolutely be back. Of course it's on the pricey end, but this is the type of establishment you reserve for a special night out, not your average Tuesday night. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!
