Why does this not have a yelp page !!!??? Well it does now ! Part of sage and salt this is a place of its own though as well. I actually found I liked this place much better for many reasons. Much more room as far as tables and bar area go. Great atmosphere and better service. Also come take a look at this bar... it's awesome! I love the wood they use throughout the restaurant and just the feel of the place is classy.
You can get your sage and salt food here too plus they have a fantastic raw bar here. A terrific drinks menu and a pretty amazing wine list. Also take in the wine cellar when you walk in. Not many places in Winston have one like that. They have wine by the glass on the menu but ask for that wine list it's pretty nice.
We got a bottle of the petit Syrah recommended by their wine guy who came and asked us what we wanted and came up with the bottle with our price point. This bottle will be in my to find list as it was really good and smooth and went with our meal so well. Not bad for the $70.
We tried the bread service which comes with good butter, tapenade and a tomato
Pesto. Loved the crunchy whole grain! Nice cornbread too and a white bread. Also the crunchy twice battered fries are a must!
So they have several types of oysters, we went with four different ones out fantastic server Katherine talked about. These were all served on ice with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, lemon, mignonette and a hot mustard . Each one was so different. Loved each one and they were all kinda meaty. Even the smaller shell ones. They were shucked perfectly and we had little to do but dress them up and slurp them ! Most are North Carolina oysters and they have a nice variety. Enjoyed this course very much!
They also have a skewers menu with some meat, fish and veggie options. This was fun to pick out ... we tried the octopus and the special of the day was the swordfish so that sounded really good. These were also another hit on the palate. The octopus was cooked well and I feel like they gave us a little extra :)... swordfish was so good, had a citrus marinade and pickled onions and an avocado mousse. Nice flaky fish. Loved these skewers.
We rounded it all off with the caramel cheesecake which was of course awesome. Creamy, great crust, solid slice, with a caramel drizzle and citrus and mint on top. Couldn't ask for a better end. Well except for those espresso martinis!
The Station was a total surprise and one I shall be returning to . They have live music on Friday and Saturday, would recommend reservations those nights. You have to call sage and salt for reservations... it's a little confusing as there isn't really a website for The station.
Great meal our first time. you definitely taste the freshness. read more
