"Ambiance has always been part of the Bernardin’s experience. Located in what is known to be the oldest home in Winston-Salem — the Zevely House, built in 1815 — the bijou dining spaces, white tablecloths, and impeccable service place it high on lists of the most romantic dinner spots in the city. The French-American menu shows off the culinary prowess of chef-owner Freddy Lee. Escargot laced with cognac, chanterelles, and herbs; horseradish-topped filet mignon with gnocchi and goat cheese show brilliantly next to North Carolina-raised emu with sweet potato puree, rainbow carrots, and a Madeira cranberry sauce." - Nikki Miller-Ka
