Well, this for sure is a hidden gem (so I thought). Turns out everyone else knew except me. We walked in and the atmosphere was lovely and comfortable, classy and warm. 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. read more

I came here with a group of lady friends for dinner one night and just wow! The atmosphere of the restaurant is upscale without being stuffy, just comfortable. The service was friendly and prompt. The food hit it out of the park! My companions all opted for the Ahi Tuna special and I opted for a variety to get a better taste of what Undercurrent offers, to include the shrimp egg rolls, the chili, and the beet salad. Everything was spectacular! I cannot wait to come back to try brunch as I have heard it is amazing as well! read more

Undercurrent seems to be a downtown staple. The salmon was nice and flaky. It was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the Pinot grigio. Meals come with bread. It was warm and delicious. Our server was very sweet and attentive. This restaurant would be great for a group dinner or celebration. read more

Had a good dinner at the Undercurrent in Greensboro. They were not too busy early in the evening, the service was attentive but not over the top. Some dishes were better than others, so be inquisitive when ordering to ensure you order well. Some dishes were only Ok. The ambiance was upscale but not uptight, a good balance. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Greensboro...and the patio is one of the best kept secrets in the city...give it a try! The food is always good and they vary the menu regularly...they seem to keep most of the same proteins and come up with new techniques for the preparation. Some go to items that are always on the menu include the lobster and shrimp spring rolls, fried oysters, and an excellent spinach salad. Additionally, I find their bar service consistently one of the best in the city. My go to is a Manhattan and they do an excellent job with it! Lastly, if you are there for lunch, give the chicken salad a try. read more

Went here for lunch with my job!!! We weren't certain if they would be able to accommodate us as a group of 11 and to our surprise they were. Everyone said their meals were awesome. Even the bread was delicious!!! Would love to check this place out for dinner the next time I'm in Greensboro. read more

I came in with high expectations based on my previous experiences; however, I left slightly disappointed this time. My Bloody Mary arrived with a single, wilted stalk which dampened the excitement I'd felt planning this brunch. The Korean style brunch bowl was lacking flavor and the choice of rice was disappointing as it was very bland and tasted like the bottom quality bulk rice you might find at a discount warehouse. Service was both lackluster and minimal. I'm hoping it was an off day as I've otherwise been pleased rather than an indication on a downward slide. read more

Undercurrent Restaurant - Grilled Chicken Breast - French Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I stumbled upon this place because I was staying at the Marriott across the street & this was within walking distance, so very convenient. My waitress was so nice & accommodating. The drinks were amazing. However, the lobster & shrimp spring rolls left much to be desired. They lacked a lot of flavor. For my main course, I was deciding between the corn soup and the poke bowl. The waitress let me sample the corn soup and it was delicious! The poke bowl was tasty, but did not come with rice. Once I put it over rice it was better. If I returned I would definitely go back for the corn soup. read more

I found a video on TikTok raving about the food at this restaurant so I decided to give it a try. The video wasn't exaggerating. The hostess and server were friendly.

Good food- Great service! Party of 5 tonight and we all agreed we would not rush back to visit but the food was good. When we walked in the restaurant had a funny smell like a rotten mop was used to scrub the floor by the front door or something so that was not a good first impression. We ordered appetizers, entrees, alcoholic beverages and desserts. The star of the show tonight was the Peach cheesecake. read more

A group of us made reservations and met here for some much-needed laughter over great food! First, this place is beautiful! The staff made it even more beautiful! And, the food was sincerely mind-blowingly delicious! I had the Grilled Angus Ribeye delivered on a HOT PLATE! My favorite thing about great restaurants is that they serve your food on a hot plate!!! Several people in our group ordered the steak and they all commented on how perfectly cooked their steaks were! The potatoes that came with the steak had tons of great flavor!!! I just cannot say enough about how amazing my entire meal was! My daughter ordered the Butternut Bisque! This was a creamy bowl of thick soup with exceptional spice flavors in every spoonful! We split the Maple Pecan Tart. If you appreciate Pecan Pie, you will LOVE THIS! The bed of sauce it rests on was a tart raspberry sauce that complemented the sweet pecans. I need to mention the staff again! WOW! TOP NOTCH!!! We stayed for hours! Never once did our Man stop filling our waters and making sure our wine glasses were covered. Every detail was noticed! He really was a professional that took pride! Make sure to make reservations here! This place fills up, and I can see why! Most Sincerely, Dayla read more

My wife's 80th party was an incredible success. We had 20 guests in their private room. Every detail was perfect! I asked every attendee how they liked the meal, and they all loved it.

This was an exceptional dining experience! I recently organized a business dinner at Undercurrent and made a reservation for 10 people. Unfortunately, only 6 attendees showed up, and the remaining 4 didn't provide any prior notice--a situation that felt both frustrating and slightly embarrassing. The restaurant had graciously prepared two tables for our group, but we ended up only needing one. Despite the unexpected change, the staff handled the situation with incredible kindness and professionalism. Though understandably disappointed about the unused table, they quickly adjusted, and we were more than happy to relinquish the extra table for another party during their busy evening. I truly appreciated how the team didn't make a big deal out of the attendance shortage. Now, onto the food and service--both were outstanding! Most of us ordered the Ribeye, and it was absolutely perfect: cooked to order, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Alongside the entrées, we enjoyed delicious drinks (a mix of wine and cocktails) and desserts that were pretty good (I'm sorry, but I can't say the desserts were great but they were pretty good). Our server--whose name I believe was Scott--was phenomenal. His service was everything you could ask for: friendly, respectful, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. Undercurrent Restaurant is the perfect choice for any occasion: a romantic date night, an important business dinner (it's quiet enough that you can talk and the lighting isn't so moody that you can't see your companions), or a well-deserved indulgent evening out. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends--this place is clearly a local favorite, and it's easy to see why it stays packed. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. The decor was inviting, comfortable and modern. Adequate parking close the restaurant.

Decided to end my Greensboro visit with a light dinner at one of its most well-reviewed restaurants. Decor is elegant yet has a modern feel to it. Staff is friendly and i was seated promptly. Lobster and shrimp spring rolls- I came by specifically for this dish and...I could've just rerouted to my hotel and saved myself the time and bill. While you can faintly taste...something in it, I can't really pinpoint if I'm tasting crab or shrimp or just minced onion. The accompanying sauces, while tasty, completely overpower the dish...which is actually probably a good thing. Starry Night cocktail - bland. Just bland. These are the only items I tried, so I think it deserves a chance, at least for the ambiance and service read more

I finally made it to Undercurrent for lunch. It wasn't busy when I arrived and as I was admiring the artwork I was told the paintings were done by the owner and that I should wander around and look including the private room in the back. I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was very friendly as well. I went with the Waldorf Salad for lunch. Warm bread was brought out before that arrived. The salad did not disappoint. Undercurrent will be a restaurant stop on my future trips to Greensboro. read more

Great service and food! Came here for date night. We have only been here for brunch in the past. Decided to try dinner. Started with the bruschetta...yum! Perfect portions. Drinks were different. I had the black tie which was a nice twist on bourbon. My husband had a smoked tequila cocktail that was delicious. It's different having tequila that isn't blended or shaken with ice. Loved it! For dinner I got the ribeye with ratatouille and it was cooked perfectly. Paired nicely with a glass of Malbec. My husband got the yellowfin tuna special over linguini and it was so good! For dessert we did the peach cobbler which came with Cointreaux ice cream. The pastry was baked perfectly and not too hard. The ice cream melted in your mouth. The flavors just worked. Out server and the staff were attentive and courteous! read more

Cheesecake was good. I do recommend this for special occasions read more

Went here for brunch luck for us. They were able to accommodate had the whole family out today. Staff was very friendly hostess greeted us right away. They already had our table ready set up with waters and fresh little mini biscuits. Top of them had a nice little crunch soft and warm on the inside packed with a lot of flavor. Plus they had butter and strawberry jam on the table made for a great little treat. I ordered the bloody Mary. Very good. My wife ordered the salmon. Toast looked amazing. Had a little bit of bite. Definitely worth it. I had the shrimp and grits. They use a tomato sauce in there the aesthetic pair as well with the sweetness of the grits shrimp was well seasoned not overcooked Our daughter had the breakfast burger had a fried egg on there. She didn't order the bacon jam look like a great burger. She was on the other side of the table so they didn't get to pick off her plate.lol love the atmosphere of the restaurant. Definitely be back to try their dinner. read more

Interesting place and wanted to love it. I don't want to give a bad rating. Everything is good, except the smell. Hits you like a slap in the face. Sewer line drain issue is what it smells like. Do something about it. Didn't order food because of the initial smell when I walked in. Eventually went nose blind to it though. You guys need to do something about that smell. read more

The environment itself is nice, the tables are very roomie and the art is interesting, but the music is a little too loud. I felt like I had to yell when I was speaking. The service was very good, the staff is super friendly and willing to accommodate whatever needs. The food was mild for the price. We started with the spring rolls, they were rather oily and somewhat bland. I had the salmon, the noodles were delicious but the salmon it's self left much to be desired. The drinks were very strong and somewhat overpowering. read more

Undercurrent is a high end restaurant that meets all expectations of such. The food is creative, delicious and high quality. The service is top notch. Our server Naiya. She was exceptional. Her personality, recommended actions for dessert and her ability to think ahead without us asking. We ordered Cauliflower Appetizer to share and she had them divided on separate plates without us asking. You don't find service like Naiya. She was personable and friendly. The hostess was also great. The ambiance was simple but lovely. It could have been a bit warmer inside. I will be back if just for the Cauliflower. The only drawback is parking. read more

I went to Undercurrent a couple of weeks ago for the first time. The ambiance was great, the staff was nice and service was great. However, we didn't have as much luck with the dinner. We got the lobster and shrimp spring rolls which were pretty good, the fried Joyce Farms chicken with pesto linguini and the braised duck. It came out timely and everything was cooked just how it should be but the entrees both lacked flavor and were very bland. I was disappointed because I love a good farm to table restaurant but this one just didn't hit the mark. read more

Forgive me Yelpers for I have sinned. It's been 10 years since I landed here and I have lapsed by never dining at Undercurrent before! Well since I started the draft for this review, Undercurrent is our go-to for fine meals and brunch. They are so accommodating to vegetarians and other dietary needs. Service is flawless without being stuffy. Very friendly and very fresh food was clearly reflected in every bite. Whether a special occasion, brunch, or a date, Undercurrent has you covered. NB - if you can't get reservations online, call or pop in and they may have bar seating with their full menu available last minute. Strongly recommended. read more

Tried undercurrent for brunch a few weeks ago and I'm super disappointed that I haven't been brunching at this spot before now. To start, the restaurant is super clean and tidy. The staff was also great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly and really, I couldn't have asked for anything more when it came to service. Our food was delectable. We started with little mini biscuits that came with jam and butter. A great complimentary starter. For my meal I got the pork belly Benedict (UC Benedict on the menu). I've never had a pork belly Benedict and I'm so glad this is the dish I chose. If I had anything critical to say about the dish it would be that the pork belly was a little tough so it was hard to cut with a fork or butter knife, but the flavor was spot on. Definitely a dish I would reorder on my next visit. The cheese grits I got on the side were also great - seasoned perfectly. The company I was with ordered the nashville chicken biscuit with pimento cheese and the breakfast burrito. Both came with home fries and they both said their dishes were great. They looked great so definitely another option for when I return. This place excited me enough to want to bring my husband back with me and I cant wait to try their dinner - I've heard that's phenomenal as well! read more

Date night at Undercurrent in Greensboro. I had never been here and wanted to try it. Good parking for downtown, nice atmosphere. Our waiter, John, provided great service. The butternut bisque was pretty bland but the beef and lentil soup was good. We both got the pork chop special and it was tasty and the collard greens were very good. Desert was just ok . The banana cheesecake didn't have any banana flavor So pretty much can say been here done that probably won't make a return trip. read more
