This review is for Fig & Olive Mediterranean Deli, the counter/stall inside Stock + Grain Assembly,…read morethe food hall next to Truist Point, the baseball stadium/soccer field in downtown High Point. It's not to be confused with Fig and Olive Cafe in Greensboro. Fig & Olive is new to Stock + Grain. It opened last month, July 2025. Stock + Grain opened in early 2022. The food hall has really filled in since then. We visited for dinner before a Carolina Core soccer game and the place was packed. My wife and I were drawn to Fig & Olive's menu. We wanted something light and relatively healthy. They sell sandwiches and bowls, priced at $11 to $18.50 each. We both got the Portofino Bowl for $16.50 each. It comes with baby arugula, soppressata, bresaola, marinated artichoke hearts, shaved pecorino romano, fresh lemon, and extra virgin olive oil. The bowls/salads were presented nicely. One of our friends commented that they looked "delightful." Unfortunately, the bowls looked better than they tasted. They were unbalanced and hard to enjoy. We were unable to finish them. While the portion sizes were decent, I was working/chewing through a lot of dense, cured meat. There wasn't any dressing except for the EVOO (which I'm not sure we even noticed) and some lemon wedges. Overall, the bowls weren't that flavorful. They felt incomplete. The quality of the ingredients was fine, though. They give you a pager so you know when to pick up your order. When I went to pick up our bowls, they made a mistake and only prepared one bowl instead of two. I let them know and later, the cashier brought my bowl directly to where we were sitting. She was polite and apologetic. No big deal to me. It looked like there were only two people working and they were busy. Given how new this place is and the appealing menu, I'd be willing to give it another shot. Maybe they were still working some kinks out and/or we ordered the wrong thing. Fig & Olive is certainly a nice addition to Stock + Grain's lineup. According to Fig & Olive's page on Stock + Grain's website, the business is "a social enterprise" of Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC's Providence program where "all efforts and profits support workforce development programs."

The sandwich was huge and delicious but I wasn't a fan of the broccoli salad (just my preference). I definitely recommend this place though and I'll be back.

Just wanted to add to my original review, that Boulder's has become probably a monthly stop for us…read moreat one point or another. Great casual atmosphere, the staff have really come into their own, and the food is simple but has little touches that often make it a small cut above most other sports bar type places around. My favorite things to order are the smashburgers, chicken philly (almost as good as the one at Old Town, a restaurant also belonging to this same owner), and now the fish and chips. I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender, the remoulade it came with really elevated it, I'm glad it was not plain tartar sauce (gross). The appetizer favorite here is the pulled pork nachos for me, otherwise, we usually just get meals. If I had one small complaint, it's that the tea is usually brewed pretty weak. Steep it a little longer, and you've got me fully hooked.

First timers here!…read more Food: Everything we had was good from their appetizers, wings, handhelds, and salads. Their fries are potato wedge style and nicely seasoned too. We loved their homemade dressings. Service: Our server was great! Attentive, kind, and offered to let us taste test. She also was helpful in her descriptions and recommendations. However, our experience fell short upon arrival. The hostess said they don't have a table for 5 but we could add a chair to a 4 top. And when I said that's not a comfortable or reasonable set up for 5 people and asked if we could push two tables together, she seemed annoyed. Who thinks it's acceptable for a party of 5 to sit someone at the corner point of a 4 top table when there are open tables all around? Management advice: If this is truly your approach, I'd recommend you rethink that logic. This is basic hospitality.

I can't say enough good things about Odeh's Mediterranean kitchen. It's no wonder they are so busy…read moreand every server was busy delivering delicious dishes to every table in the packed dining room on a Tuesday night. I first discovered Odeh's when it was deemed the favorite restaurant by our local Yelp ambassador Erik and they had just a few tables in a small space with just counter service. Since then they have grown to add a larger dining room, table service and expanded their already delicious menu. There is nothing bad here and you can find something for every taste. I usually go with some sort of chicken dish but my husband has tried many of their other favorites and has loved them all. The portions are generous and I usually leave with a container for the next day.

The service was friendly, food was tasty and well portioned. We got an order of the fried zucchini to start, which were well cook, and had a nice crispiness to them.

The space is bright and clean with very friendly service. There's plenty of seating inside plus a great covered patio outside. Been here a few times and everything has been fresh and tasty so far. Today I tried the braised chicken tinga bowl, which came with a green goddess sauce, avocado, black beans, grains, and marinated kale. The chicken was super tender and the flavors really worked well together. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch while shopping or grabbing a healthy dinner with family and friends, Chopt is a great addition to the Greensboro restaurant rotation for something fresh and healthy.

Had a team lunch catered in for a work meeting last week, as a group we picked Bistro 1605. Food…read morewas ready when we went to pick it up, everything prepared as ordered, each meal paired with the requested side. I got the Kayden sandwich with house salad. Just like dining in, they don't skimp. They pack the sandwich and the to go box full, it was more than enough for a filling and healthy lunch. Their house dressing for the salad is fantastic, maybe some sort of deviation of thousand islands(?), tasty with just a little sweetness. Highly recommend for dine in or take out!

Bistro 1605 is a result of Alexandria's Hamilton Street Bistro moving into the former Cork and…read moreGrind location. While I never got to try the old restaurant, I was curious about the new. I stopped by a little before noon on a Friday to find the establishment very busy, a testament to Alexandria's loyal following. As much as I wanted to like this place, however, it just didn't strike me as anything special. Positives first: Alesha is a friendly and welcoming presence, and the staff here seem hard-working and personable. Though the menu is fairly limited, several items - a crostini and a spinach/hummus/red pepper/quinoa wrap - held appeal. I ultimately went with the day's special, an Italian sandwich. It took a while to arrive, but given how busy - and new - the bistro was, I'm inclined to cut them some slack. While the sandwich featured a good amount of meat, it was oddly sweet due to the choice of pepper. Banana peppers and a dash of oregano would have been a welcome remedy. Like a few of the other sandwich offerings, the Italian clocked in at $12 with a bag of chips included. Some of the salads reached ambitiously into the teens. I may need to give Bistro 1605 another shot after they are fully up to speed at their new location, but initial impressions suggest a place that will serve you neither a bad lunch (and there is something to be said for that consistency alone) nor a particularly memorable one.

I ordered a kids meal to go since I was in town and wanted a lunch for tomorrow. I ordered on the app and it said it would be ready around 9:10 pm. I parked and came inside. I didn't see a bag with my name on the shelf and was asked my name. I let them know and they told me that they were cooking fresh steak and it would be ready soon. One person told me that they were holding off on putting anything (rice, sauces, etc) in my plate so it would still be fresh. Another person offered me a drink while I waited, which I really appreciated! The customer service was just excellent! I appreciated how they treated me as well as the other customers that came in while I was there.

I loved my rice bowl with power greens, white rice, grilled chicken, pickled onions, spicy pickles and cucumber; everything tasted fresh and balanced. The yogurt dill sauce, hummus and crazy feta are absolute standouts and add so much flavor and texture to your dish. And the blueberry lemonade is fantastic; super refreshing and I mixed it with some regular lemonade and I was sold. If you want a customizable meal with lots of healthy choices, CAVA is definitely worth a visit.. Thank you!

The standard blue and white interior with large monitors around the inside with images of Greece that are relaxing and enjoyable while dining. Place your food and drink order and pay, then grab a seat. They bring your drinks, then food when its ready, no numbers or names but they get it to you. We grabbed a booth, and our drinks arrived almost as soon as we sat down. About ten or so minutes later, our meals. My Chicken Souvlaki sandwich (gyro) grilled chicken was freshly prepared and well made. The gyro was basic and very tasty, a large handheld it hit the spot. The fries, golden brown and hot, fresh and tasty. 4 Stars - a solid choice for a good westernized traditional greek meal, fresh, simple and delicious with efficient kind service. 01234

Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.
