    Medium cheeseburger.  Perfect temp.
    Gary F.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to sit us at tables near the bar. The food was great. Would definitely be going back and would recommend you to try it.

    Lobster & Shrimp Spring Rolls

    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.

    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.

    Butternut Bisque. Very thick and creamy with great complementary spices!
    Dayla K.

    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

    Crab Cake Special
    Kristin K.

    Service was awesome, atmosphere is beautiful, and food is delicious. Had the crab cake special and the red pepper sauce was from another planet. Love this place for a fun lunch and will keep coming back!

    Romantic and beautiful ambiance with a taste of chef crafted eats. I had the grilled Mahi Mahi , fish was cooked to perfection, the pear puree was surprisingly good, it tasted like pear infused mashed potato's. The only downside was the plates were small

    The service was fantastic and they were very flexible on our large group's variety of different dietary restrictions. The food was very good and well cooked. The set menu was great and had pescatarian and vegetarian options for me. Ambiance wise we were in their back room since we had a larger group and it was very comfortable and clean. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the city.

    Lobster and shrimp spring rolls. Not worth it.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Are dogs allowed in outside seating area?

    No, I don't believe they are allowed inside. Although they have some seating in font along the sidewalk that you might be able to use.

Lewis and Elm delivers a 5 star experience on so many levels. Many people I've spoken with think it's just a wine bar. Oh no, it goes well beyond your typical wine bar. First off, they have a full bar with a huge specialty cocktail list, craft beers, non alcoholic options and even THC drinks. We had amazing wine off of their impressive list, plus a few cocktails that were mixed extremely well. The food: amazing to say the least. Charcuteries, meats, cheeses, apps, finger foods, and a few uniques you have to get (one in particular). We enjoyed a beautifully plated charcuterie (see pic), the caprese bruschetta, a goat cheese pesto bruschetta, and that one in particular: the medjool dates. Everything was delicious, but these dates were on another level. The dates were surrounded by a bed of creamy Brie cheese melted perfectly, topped with crispy prosciutto and sprinkled with a balsamic reduction. All of this is easily mopped up with the fresh focaccia the dish comes with. This dish rocked! It was perfect on its own, but paired amazingly well with both the chilled white wine and the cocktails we were enjoying. The vibe is amazing as well. Upscale but super comfy interior. Come casual or dressed to impress, it all works here. Live music on the weekends add to the atmosphere and the whole experience. Come for the whole evening, or pre-dinner/pre-show drinks and bites, or even for a night cap after a dinner or show. Come for a quick pit stop, or stay for the live music. It's an all around excellent experience with great drinks, food, service and vibe.

The inside is cozy and on the smaller side but so cute. We started with the buratta appetizer which came with focaccia and pesto which was all amazing.

For an entree, I had the Moroccan couscous with crispy chickpeas and even though the picture might look a little weird, I can assure you it was delicious. The chickpeas were really crispy as promised and the flavor was delicious. It was well seasoned and the sauces were so good. The green one was a mint parsley I think and the orange was my favorite - red pepper tahini. My only complaint would be that I want more of the sauce because it was so good. I really enjoyed & I appreciated that they had this vegan option. They have tons of wine & the cocktail menu is also great. The waiter was super friendly and quick.

The menu reflects this with cocktails, wine and beer and the menu is extensive on the beverages! The food menu is terrific and has so much variety and some really nice plates small and large. It was a theater night when we went and we had a 7.30 show to goto and our server knew that. We got there at 5.30 so figured that gave us the 10 mins to walk to the theater to be on time. We started off with some drinks. My friend loved her cherry ale and I really enjoyed my G&T , the glass it came in was just so unusual. The G&T took awhile to finally make it to me but i loved it. We ordered the tuna tartare and that was delicious and served up with fried green tomatoes which was a different take on it. Nice and fresh and nicely presented. Our entrees were the salmon for my friend and I had the Bahn mi chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Usually this sandwich is with pork so I wanted to try this. The service for our dinner took almost 45 mins we had finished the app awhile back and my grind had another drink and still we were waiting. It was closing in on 6.50 Pm and at this point we would be inhaling our food when it came and rushing out the door . It came at 7pm and the sandwich was good but they should mention on the menu that it has mayonnaise on it as I don't like that but there was quite a bit on the bun. Not typically in this type of sandwich so I wasn't expecting it. The chicken was a good and flavorful and lots of other veggie fillings and the fries were great. My friend really enjoyed her salmon and the risotto it came with. Just disappointed we had to eat it all so quickly and leave some so we could pay and leave. We had our eye on the lemon posset tart for dessert but we didn't have time . We just thought since the server knew we had theater tickets she would have been more on top of it. Yes they were busy as it was a show night but the place wasn't totally full. Seemed like no urgency when we asked how long the food would be as we had to leave soon. I'd maybe try this place again on a non show night, as I thought they had a great menu. I enjoyed the place just not the service as we barely made the show before the lights went down.

There is a written wine list of reds and whites to order full glasses of whites or reds which should suffice. I asked folks what they were drinking and there were many red wine-o's ha ha. The Bordeaux drinkers were happy with their choice and the Malbec drinkers were satisfied with their choice and commented the wine was soft. I chose a cold Chenin Blanc mostly cuz I haven't seen it on a menu in the Triad for quite some time. It was quite good great nose of sweetness but dry enough to be a good all round table wine. Its similar to Pinot Gregio but not dry or tart. I think when I'm back in GSO I will stop in to this unique wine bar again as it was a nice experience and everyone seemed very chill and friendly.
