I've been wanting to visit this cute little French-inspired restaurant in downtown Greensboro for a…read morewhile, and I'm so glad I finally stopped in! They had counter service this morning, where you order at the counter. Since it was my first visit, the young man could probably tell I was new--he greeted me right away and explained how everything worked. The space was clean, and it faces the rising sun. I'd already picked out the perfect seat to let that morning sunshine shine right in. The lemon ricotta pancakes had been calling my name for a while. The young woman at the counter let me know they're soft because of the ricotta. I appreciated the heads-up, since the texture is different from a regular pancake and someone might otherwise think they weren't fully cooked. They were absolutely out-of-this-world amazing! I ordered the three pancakes and only afterward noticed that you can order them individually. Three was definitely too many for me--I made it through two and was stuffed, so I left one lonely pancake behind. I also ordered a side of bacon to add some protein. They also have the cutest little French market inside, with a whole freezer full of items you can take home and bake yourself. And they just introduced some new menu items today, which will be around for the next couple of months: pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, braised short ribs, beignets, and a savory Dutch baby. If you're ever downtown, stop by and give this place a try! Ciao for now!

Nothing fancy, but huge portions, and everything was tasty. the Liver Pate was much bigger than expected, and good The Duck Confit was super - boneless which was surprising, moist and crispy at the same time, and the rice that came with it was great too. The Raw Tuna dish, was also fresh and refreshing. Great service and ambiance.

We walked in today and grabbed seats at the bar. We'd never been here before, so we just ordered…read morewhatever I was craving since my iron is low and all I wanted was steak. We started with the French onion soup and it was so yummy. My only complaint is I wish it had more cheese... and more cheese stuck to the sides of the bowl because picking off the crispy cheesy parts is literally the best part. Mmmmm. Nice that they split it into two bowls for my bf and I to share! I got the steak frites. It was good, but my only complaint is it was salty. Like... salty salty. Both the steak and the fries were pretty heavily seasoned. My lips were starting to burn by the end lol. I also wish it came with garlic aioli. I saw the regular fries on the menu are served with it, and now I'm mad at myself for not asking to swap. Overall though, the service was great! The bartender was really nice, and our food came out fast. I'd definitely come back and just ask for a little less salt next time and that garlic aioli !

Everything about the place is amazing, service, Menu, food, ambience and location. Definitely good we made reservations! They were busy from 5pm! We were seated right away, and I loved our table and who they weren't so close to other tables. They have a nice seasonal cocktail menu, great wine and beer list too. I went with a glass of Cabernet and my friend had beer. Our server was very sweet and allowed us to catch up on conversation and we finally figured out what we wanted to order! They have everything from steaks, seafood to some veggie apps, and salads. They also have specials which the server told us about.I had the blackened Mahi and my friend had one of the specials which was the shrimp and chorizo gumbo. They offer a nice bread service for the table which was nice and warm when it came. Always good bread and butter. Our entrees were excellent, Mahi was cooked perfectly, with a nice black bean, hominy and chorizo base, with ranchero sauce. Really good. My friend loved her gumbo, which looked amazing. She said the sauce was delicious, there was also a generous amount of shrimp and chorizo. Entrees were amazing, so we thought why not check out the desserts, great dessert menu, so I went with the lemon tart, and she had the peach strudel. Both, you guessed it ! Fantastic. Citrusy smooth tart, with a buttery crust and a lovely coconut macaroon on the side. The peach strudel came with a cherry ice cream, toasted almonds and a cherry coulis. We also got sone espresso martinis, because why not. I asked for mine with less simple and it was perfect. This was one of the best meals I've had in Greensboro, kinda under the radar as you don't always hear about this place. Obviously people know about it though as it was packed.

The interior decorator(s) clearly had taste. The artwork is pretty and the windows add to the light and airy feeling. Now let's talk food! The food is bespoke. I had to google a few words (which I loved) to make sure I knew what I was getting. The Fried Cauliflower had a touch of spice, and frankly you would have no idea you were eating cauliflower if it wasn't in the name. Pimento Cheese Galette...what's the word...hmmm....divine! Spinach Salad felt like a summer evening on the patio - strawberries, feta, sunflower seed - wonderful! Artisan cheese Selection - it's cheese, what's not to love!?! The flatbread is 'hand-rolled' in house - babeeee! Seared Sea Scallops for the sea lovers. The real blessing was Savannah and Courtney. They took care of us and were a pure delight as well as helpful.

The interior is lovely. Showed up for lunch so had the lunch menu to select from. Noticed that the crepes are only served at lunch. Had the chicken crepe and the gnocchi. For starters had mushroom soup which was the soup of the day and the french onion. Wrapped up with the chocolate pot de creme. Everything was very delectable. Service was also very attentive and spot on. Definitely a venue that is deserving of return visits.

We enjoyed the French onion soup (probably the best I've had), the beef tip gnocchi and tomato pie for appetizers. We had the filet with lobster (special of the night) and the surf and turf for dinner. All very good! For dessert, we tried the apple crisp, chocolate dream and the bread pudding. The chef and I assume the owner each came out to speak with us which was so nice. Christina was our waitress and she was so pleasant and wonderful. Great experience! We'll definitely be back sometime!

Second time at Vin Rouge; first was brunch, so good we had to try dinner!…read more Started with escargot, shrimp Provençal, blue crab claws and the caramelized onion tart. All were excellent; fresh, perfectly cooked and full of authentic flavor. The tart was exceptionally good: a tall slice, moist and rich, onions sweet and delicious. For mains, two of us had the almandine, both loved it. Ali's right off the skin, perfect cook, wonderful flavors. Husband had the pork chop, said the flavors were all on point, but the chop was just north of tender and the potatoes, cabbage and sauce could have been hotter. We went back for the perfect crème brûlée and decadent chocolate mousse we loved at brunch, and added the lemon tart: on par with the others. Service was excellent, again. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. Notably top shelf service for the area.

Lovely service team paired with an intimate, romantic dining area. Perfect for a date night or celebration! The hostess and our server were especially welcoming and super friendly. On to the food... Our cocktails were made just right, and our entrees were phenomenal to say the least. Not to mention that apple bread pudding. I did wish it was served warm, but it was still delicious and not the "over-the-top"-type of sweet. We also felt that the escargot was too earthy for our personal liking, but I can see it being someone's. Just not ours, and beggars can't be choosers. All in all, a lovely surprise at Vin Rouge. Next time, I'd love to try brunch and a seat in their beautiful patio!

They have probably the best French Onion soup (Gratinèe Soupe à l'Oignon) I have ever tasted, I loved that the bread maintained a slight crispness around the edges even though the soup was perfectly cooked and the bread absorbed it well. I had the Filet Mignon de Porc as my entree, and the pork was cooked just right, it was so tender and juicy, with a nice peppery crust and smoky (but not overwhelming) flavor. My wife had the Steak Frites, which was very tender and cooked perfectly. I would tell you about the dessert, but we were too full and satisfied to even try one. The atmosphere is nice, not maybe quite as private as some restaurants, but the ambient noise is light and feels more private than the layout would suggest. The lighting is dim but not so dark that you can't see just fine. All around it was perfect for our anniversary dinner. Peyton was our waitress, and I cannot say enough good things about the job she did! She was attentive and very warm and friendly, not sugary sweet in the way some people do that comes off as cloying or insincere, but rather conversational and pleasant. I don't know how much they pay Peyton, but it isn't enough. All around, the whole experience made for a delightful meal and experience! And our previous experience there was just as good, so I recommend it very highly!!

Truffle fries, not really French but a must , usually nice and it when I get them here but today they were just a bit sad as it seemed they had been sitting for a bit.

The broth so flavorful . Steaming hot on this one . The escargot. Yes another must here. Always decadent . Buttery and garlicky . Awesome. The mushroom risotto. Yes I know not french but they do it so well here. Rich and creamy and perfectly cooked where it's not mushy, different kinds of mushrooms and I love they add peas. Perfect comfort food. Service was excellent and with a smile. Ambiance always classy and we watched a little World Cup too. Katherine is my goto for classic food and a great bar. One of the best in Winston.

Starters (lettuces, asparagus) and firsts (risotto to lamb) and mains (from chicken to beef to duck), Cab-Franc wine special. The best classic Negroni w/o Campari (which I don't love), was amazing. Dessert was also a topper (Hazel Nut pastry). Bennett was a pro. Give him a raise. He earned every penny, knowledgeable beyond expectations. The ding: the foyer room on the high-top where we were seated. I get it, you're trying to squeeze folks in...but that room, which is a combo lounge, view into the storage closet, right next to the exit door, looking into the parking garage needs some help. (hire my wife, she's an interiors expert...or hire someone.). So, with apologies to the chef, here's my classic score: food: 28 service: 27 ambiance: 16 Fix that room (which has so much potential!), and you could have a private dining experience, or something else. We'll be back. But not for that room.

Every single staff member we encountered was friendly, professional and great to work with. The food was great overall. The chicken in the Coq au Vin was a little over cooked and dry but everything with it was amazing. My partner got the steak frites and it was to die for. The selection of wine, good cocktails and ciders was wonderful. It was small which gave it an intimate vibe that I love. I think this place would be great for a special dinner or even just some wine and cheese with the besties. We'll be back for sure, hopefully soon.

We started with the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious, along with the bread and butter. The butter was so flavorful that it deserves a special mention on its own! For our entrées, we had the chicken cordon bleu and the steak frites. Both dishes were perfectly executed. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with nothing overpowering the other, allowing each ingredient to shine. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée, and it was divine. It wasn't overly sweet--just smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The service made the experience even more memorable. Our waiter, Red, was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. He was attentive without being intrusive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. I can't recommend Jolie enough. Every part of the experience--from the food and ambiance to the exceptional service--was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat. After dining here, it's easy to understand why Jolie has earned Michelin recognition. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they receive a Michelin star in the near future.

The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, the bacon was dried out, and the sausage was so dry and tough that I had to use a knife just to cut through it. For a restaurant with this kind of reputation, I expected fresh, well-prepared food--not something that tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp at a hotel breakfast buffet. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else for brunch.
