The Katharine Brasserie & Bar

This is a bar and a restaurant inside a hotel. So expect prices to be higher, however, not that much higher than any other downtown restaurant. Which was a pleasant surprise. They also went down on price of wine by the Glass that makes it a good option for quick stop after work to enjoy your evening and listen to some jazz. I believe it’s on Thursdays. Food tastes delicious. But…Last time, my husband and I ordered less food and drinks than we normally would because our server seemed to forget about us

After an overnight stay at the Kimpton earlier in the year, we made reservations for Thanksgiving Dinner at The Katherine's. The traditional meal was Turkey, local mushroom dressing, fresh cranberries, green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. A few entrees were optional add ons. The entire meal was scrumptious and the perfect serving. Parking was simple and abundant during the holiday due to other businesses being closed.

Katherine Brasserie and Bar was fantastic! Our server was so attentive and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere too, definitely a spot I’d recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

I ate there for lunch. Most of the menu is pretty pretty mainstream, but I have a more adventurous palate. So I ordered amazing chickpea fritters and the best roasted carrots that made me wonder what else the chef can do. The atmosphere presents like a high-end French bistro with lots of charm. There's plenty of fun cocktails to highlight your meal.

Welcoming establishment, attentive service, subdued (low key?) and positive ambiance. They let the service and food speak for themselves. And both were excellent. Our reservations were for a Sunday evening. We were seated immediately. I particularly enjoyed several of the house drinks - they were very well done. Several of the tables around us lingered. People did not seem to be rushed out after dining. One table had a baby with them, another had two "tweens," yet another was full of retirees. Families of all ages were enjoying themselves that evening. The food did not lean too heavily on salt like some fancy spots do. Everything came together very nicely, flavors complimenting one another without letting any single thing make an unbalanced dish. We left more than satisfied and hope we have the opportunity to return!

We love everything about The Katherine!!! She was elegant and modern giving NYC vibes w the bar spacious and open w a fire pit outside for moderately chilly evenings. Bartenders know every classic cocktail to the latest twist. Management was present in ninja style covertly keeping an eye on floor. The wait staff was old school good. Water never empty, mind readers that were one step ahead of any anticipated need. For the food: The Beef Bourgogne was literally exquisite no words. Show stopper. Steak Au Poivre like a reimagined classic. Basics like salmon light and deliciously homey all at once. We have done work dinners not once but twice and likely planning for a thrice. Please go here and if you need the rooms in the grand hotel attached you can recreate a wonderfully staycation!!!!

I had dinner at the Katharine Saturday night and had an amazing experience! Our server for the evening was Gene, he provided excellent service and recommendations. There were also a lot of help at hand to keep our waters refilled and take our empty plates. The food was outstanding and we had the perfect wine to pair with our entrees. We had three boeuf bourguignon, and the duck breast, both were so delicious and didn't even require a knife. The valet service was very helpful and fast. Thanks for a wonderful Saturday night!

We had lunch here on Christmas Day at 1:45 and our waitress was great however our food was burnt. The toast was over done and the strata was completely black on the bottom and the top was also blackened. We also had oysters and deviled eggs which were actually very good. Service was great but was not that impressed with our main dishes being burnt, especially for our Christmas Day lunch.This was our third time coming

Had dinner and breakfast both here while staying at the hotel for the weekend. Dinner, reservations are highly recommended. We had dinner reservations at 8:30 our evening there, our host greeted us and seated us within a couple minutes the place was packed. The interior of the restaurant is 1930s art deco, think "Metropolis" and inspired by the original design of the building. The restaurant itself is not very big and gets busy, when full it is also loud. Dinner was very good, the service professional and attentive. The food was good but not exceptional and at the price point, it should be. A dozen oysters on the half shell, were a good start. My entree was good, however very basic in thought and presentation. Trout, nicely cooked with green beans on top, then shaved carrots. Nothing new or original. The Salmon my partner ordered was even simpler in its presentation. Again nothing inventive or original. The food was good but at the price point one expects it to be great. Breakfast, is walk in service, it is as well busy or was on the two mornings we ate there. A different experience overall, more rushed and noisy. The food was okay, but nothing special or beyond ordinary. When breakfast is $30 bucks or more each it needs to be great, this was okay to average. Then with the slow turn around on our order from the kitchen, almost half an hour to get eggs, sort of a let down. The second morning was better as far as timing goes, the food was again okay but nothing special. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the dinner service staff's effort 01132

The restaurant has a cute atmosphere, but the food didn't quite live up to expectations. I ordered the French onion grilled cheese and Brussels sprouts, the sprouts were tasty, but the sandwich was overly salty. My mom had the quiche and found it warm on the outside but cold in the center, which was disappointing. The standout item was the deviled eggs topped with caviar, those were delicious. Overall, a slightly below-average experience

It's hard to beat the Katharine for a swanky night out or a special occasion. The ambiance is classic yet sleek, the servers and staff are well trained, and the food is delicious. For the quality of meal, it's very well priced. They serve one of my favorite steaks in the area, I have a hard time ordering anything else, especially when it comes draped in their peppercorn gravy. On my last order, my knife glode right through the tender perfectly cooked NY strip. Polished off every last bit of it, no regrets. But that wasn't the only highlight. The roasted brussel sprouts are always worth an order, and their deviled eggs are some of the best I've ever had. Even if you're just coming for a drink, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot for it. Salute to one of the gems of downtown Winston!

The breakfast here is pretty good and not too expensive. It's great to come downstairs and get a bite and a craft cocktail. Everyone is very nice. Located inside the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel.

My wife and I had wanted to try this place for a while so we decided there's no better time than the present. We came here for dinner with reservations on a Saturday and we're immediately seated. A few things to note but none of these should be taken in a negative light it's just the atmosphere of this restaurant. It's not very quiet it's more casual dining almost pub-like so be ready for that. The tables are close together so there's not a lot of space between them including walking to and from your table. Not uncomfortably so, but again like a casual pub. The food was very good and the serving sizes were plentiful. They were a bit busy on the night we were there and if I'm going to offer any suggestion for improvement it would be that our server pay a little bit more attention to us. We had to get other people to help us twice for drinks. Would we go back? Yes we would. Would we recommend going here? Yes we would. Even with the very slight service issue I'm giving this place five stars because they deserve it.

Always a fan favorite. I've never had a bad meal here. The service is always impeccable making this the perfect spot for a date night, girls night out, or a celebratory meal. Their appetizers, meals, sides and drinks always hit the spot.

Overall absolutely amazing experience. Food, service, atmosphere were perfect. This is a great place for the perfect date night.

The ambiance is lovely! Staying at this hotel for a work trip was a wonderful experience and the food was also up to the same standard. The seared salmon was cooked perfectly and was one of the best salmon dishes that I've had. The cheesy grits were a great pairing to go along with the entree.

My recent visit to The Katherine in Winston-Salem was really memorable. The ambiance is elegant and welcoming, setting the stage for a great meal. We started with drinks--a perfectly crafted dirty martini and a rich, aromatic espresso. Both were expertly made and set the tone for what was to come. For appetizers, we had the mussels and escargot. The mussels were fresh and flavorful, served in a broth that was perfect for dipping. The escargot was a standout, tender and richly seasoned, making it a must-try for anyone who enjoys this classic dish. The steak au poivre was cooked well, with a peppery crust and a tender, juicy center. The accompanying sauce added a nice depth of flavor. The salmon was also beautifully prepared, moist and flaky, with a delicate seasoning that let the natural flavors shine. Overall it's a good restaurant in town but a bit pricey for what you receive as it's in a hotel

Yummy food, ambiance was a bit quiet suiting a weekday lunch but the service was attentive. It's solid if somewhat unspectacular

Dessert was okay...service, lax. The waitress in the bar area was only attentive to the folks she felt like chatting with. We came for just dessert and had to go to the bartender(s) for the menu, the silverware AND the order...meaning: we were told by the hostess that there was a waitress serving the bar area and we were told by the bartender there was a service person working their bar area. The bartenders were definitely restocking or doing an inventory count or something, so they had their backs to the bar most of the time. We were there on a Wednesday evening at 7 PM. We saw from our table, the waitress do a pass-through, but did not look at our table to even greet us, offer waters, or a menu. We had a brisk drop off by a runner from the kitchen of our two desserts, the waitress must have noticed we had food and came over. I asked for another napkin since the runner had dropped off two spoons wrapped in one napkin. We were almost done with our dessert by the time the second napkin came. You wanna know how lax she was? I accidentally left my phone on the table which had a $50 bill underneath of it. We walked five blocks away before I realized I had left it and when we got back to the restaurant, our table still had not been cleaned up and my phone was right there out in the open, money exposed. Just sad that the recommendations for this place did not prepare us to be ignored. As far as the dessert? I would say it was a three out of five. We received two chocolate mousse desserts. Two spoons. 1 serviette. No service.

This restaurant has an amazing lineup. DB, MM, SS, and DJ bring the HEAT. I am talking a wild selection of amazing foods...especially at breakfast. Located on Fourth & Main, this crème de la crème is where you want to take your crew for a coveted meal. Yes, seal the deal and head over here fam. This food is delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. The place is buzzing. The staff is very polite and kind. Talk about real hospitality.

Need a fancy dinner? This is it! Everything about this place hit the nail on the head. Not sure why I'm all the time it's been open I haven't had dinner here, but wow. Super impressed on all levels. Amazing service, water filled without me even knowing! If your a wine drinker ask for the elevated wine list, you'll be amazed at their inventory. Great cocktails list, impressive combinations, great bourbon drinks! We went with the classic French bubbly. Veuve, never disappoints! They had some other great champagne too. We had the tuna tartare and escargot as appetizers, loved the presentation on both, the fact you don't have to mess with the shell of the escargot was great!!! Loved the pickled cucumber under the tuna, gave it a interesting flavor combo, the crackers they gave with it were delicious too, oh and you get caviar on the tuna! Nice touch! Fantastic start, and the French bread, make sure you get the bread service, so good. Entrees, I got the wild mushroom risotto, creamy, lots of meaty mushrooms and not mushy, which I loved. Super good. My friend got the French onion soup, amazing ! So much cheese! And she added the le grand, basically the meat and cheese boards on their menu, but combined. Fabulous cheese and the prosciutto was so good. Dessert, can't not have the creme brûlée at a French restaurant! Paired it with a nice cava, it was the perfect little end, I liked that their torched sugar layer wasn't too thick, just a light tap of a spoon and it cracked. Nice creamy, with great berries on top. The cava was delicious too. Never paired a bubbly with dessert, but it works. The Katherine is a high level, top shelf kinda place. They know their food and their wines. The bar is also amazing. Great for a special occasion....or not ! Make sure you make a reservation as on a Tuesday night they were pretty slammed! Loved the decor and the lighting. Small, but quaint set up. I have another new Winston favorite! Second brunch at the Katherine and this was much better than the first! Our server Cynthia was so sweet and even though she didn't know a lot of things we asked her she went to find the answers ! Here for my friends birthday we had a fun afternoon and great foodie experience. We started with the amazing bloody Mary's ! I had the spicy and my friend had the classic. Both beautiful in presentation and delicious! Loved the spice level in mine. My friend said hers still had a kick to it even though it was the classic. Next up the grilled shrimp cocktail. You only get 4 shrimp and yes it's not much for the price but they were good. Marinated in goat cheese and garlic served with this hit your throat cocktail sauce! Loved that. Then we had the pastry basket. Baguette, classic croissant and pain au chocolate. All of those are a carb lovers dream. The croissant was flaky, and buttery. The Baguette was crunchy and chewy. Delicious butter too. My friend had the croque madam, this was again a great presentation and she said absolutely delicious. Very cheesy and lots of ham. And the egg on too was cooked to perfection. Yolk a little jammy. Yum. I had the ratatouille soup. Which was just ok . Nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of veggies in it. Nice broth. Also a side of their amazingly good truffle fries. These are the best I've had in Winston by far. A must have. They came out steaming hot. Lots of truffle flavor. You get a complimentary dessert if celebrating a birthday which is really nice of them. You pick anyone off the menu and my friend chose the chocolate heavy pot du crème. Insanely rich and topped with a marshmallow topping bruleed. The chocolate was nice and thick and you could tell really good quality. Highly recommend this especially for chocolate lovers!! I also had a glass of bubbly and birthday girl had a pineapple mimosa which she said tasted like fresh juice. Fabulous time at brunch! They have a nice menu and I loved their drink specials for the season. They are so creative. My friend loved every minute of her birthday celebration.

Consistent place to have brunch with friends. I love the ambiance inside. Takes you back in time a bit. The food is very good. Service always on point. Prices are fair. They have seating outside in the winter - cute igloos!!

The bad: Very expensive and parking is difficult. Pricing $20 for a standard Titos martini, $36 for a charcuterie plate with sauces slopped on plate. The good: Stunningly gorgeous hotel inside! (This review is for the bar area only)

It's always a nice place to grab few drinks and snack on something and also a good option for dinners. I really like this place the food is always delicious and their cocktails are always on point. They have a very dedicated staff that will make sure you have the best experience while dinning /drinking here. The place is very lovely y really like their decor

I don't know what took me so long, but I finally stopped by The Katherine for brunch. We were seated quickly and although I'd like to sit outside when the weather is better, it was really nice inside with an upscale feel. We started with the coffee and ordered the Seared Salmon and Camel City Breakfast. Everything was so good. Now I need to come back and give there dinner a try!

Their breakfast is amazing. If you're in town, 100% go and get the Belgian waffle or breakfast sandwhich. I also love their salmon for lunch. And for a drink, you cannot go wrong with their hot chocolate.

The Katherine is a wonderful place to have a specialty drink at the bar or sit at a cozy booth or table for a nice breakfast, brunch or dinner. The Katherine Brasserie is the social and dining area located in the former RJ Reynolds headquarters. It has a beautiful art deco design that has stood the test of time. If you have a little time treat yourself to a walk around the interior and marvel at the craftsmanship, maybe take a ride in the elevator to see some of the other floors. If you are a traveler or on a business trip in Winston Salem you will be happy to known that the Kimpton hotel is on site and the Katherine Brasserie is open on Christmas day. I went then but I noted there was no special brunch or traditional food prepared for this holiday. However we had a great mid day meal all the same. I had eggs Benedict with salmon which I enjoyed and had a chocolate martini and creme brulee to finish off my meal. Everything was yummy and our waiter was very attentive to our requests. There were holiday decorations throughout the place and near the lobby was a giant walkthrough facsimile of a gingerbread house. But the sign we saw on the opposite wall had us in stitches; "Be naughty, save Santa the trip" lol!

I visited the bar and ordered their martini espresso it was a 8/10. For me I usually like my espresso martinis to have that kick of alcohol. It was really smooth and tasty though definitely it will be at the top of my list for whenever I'm craving an espresso martini. My sister had the Spicy Jalisco it was really refreshing and it definitely lived up to its name it was spicy. They do have a bar menu for food which I thought was nice, next time I will try their food. I loved the ambiance perfect for a date nite or a girls nite out. Will be visit again

From Asheville to Durham, The Katharine is one of the very best restaurants we've been to in North Carolina. And it's in downtown Winston-Salem, of all places. For fine dining, this place is phenomenal and I highly recommend it. That's all you need to know. If you want the details, read on. The Katharine is located in the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, a boutique hotel in Winston's historic Reynolds Building, an art-deco skyscraper that opened in 1929. It's historic because it used to be the headquarters for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The Katharine Brasserie & Bar is named after R.J. Reynolds' wife, Katharine Reynolds. The cuisine is French with some American Southern touches, hence "brasserie," which is a type of French restaurant. Reservations are recommended. The Katharine is on OpenTable, but unfortunately is part of the small percentage of OpenTable restaurants that does not award points. Parking is complimentary valet. Just pull up to the front of the hotel on N Main St and tell the valet you're headed to The Katharine. Bring cash to tip. You can't miss the restaurant as its storefront is prominent alongside the hotel's main entrance. Inside, the restaurant and bar are stunning, floor to ceiling. The bar and dining room are in two separate, yet equally beautiful, spaces. The vibe was elegant and classy, perfect for a romantic date or special occasion. We brought my mom here for her birthday and she loved it. There was a special birthday card, signed by The Katharine staff, waiting for her at our table. How neat. I've been to plenty of restaurants for birthdays over the years and this was the first to do something like that (that I can remember). Here's what four of us ordered: Inspirational Sips * Marche des Fiertes 'March of Pride' ($18) - Hendrick's infused with cucumber, lime, rosemary simple, soda water, topped with an Empress Gin & Orange Liqueur float and fresh fruit (The Katharine donated $1 per cocktail sold to Pride Winston-Salem) * Juneteenth Old Fashioned ($18) - Uncle Nearest 1888, Scrappy's Black Lemon Bitters, lemon simple, orange and lemon peel (The Katharine donated $1 per cocktail sold to The National Urban League of Winston-Salem) Seasonal Spritzers * Passionate Lillet ($16) - Lillet Rouge, Passoa Passionfruit Liqueur, fruit juice and fresh fruit, topped with soda water Hors d'Oeuvres * Huitres (6 for $20) x2 - oysters on the half shell, rose champagne migonette * Moules Marinieres ($22) - mussels served with tarragon, shallot, garlic, lemon, white wine, crushed pepper maitre d'hotel butter, grilled baguette * Escargot a la Bourguignonne ($16) - cognac and garlic herb butter, puff pastry * Tartare de Filet de Boeuf ($22) - minced beef tenderloin tartare, sous vide egg, espelette aioli, cornichons, grain mustard, pickled shallot, charred crostini Steak Frites - served with frites and an accompaniment of "your choosing" * 14 oz Ribeye ($42) with horseradish and honey creme fraiche butter; sauteed baby bok choy subbed in for the frites (+$3) * 12 oz NY Strip ($38) with foie gras butter; upgraded regular frites with truffle frites (+$2) Plats Principaux (entrees) * Truite de North Carolina ($30) - pistachio-dusted NC trout, crispy salt & vinegar potatoes, chive creme fraiche, bacon frisee, charred lemon * Canard a l'Orange ($32) - seared duck breast, Grand Marnier and bitter orange jus, sauteed rainbow chard, potatoes sarladaises Le Dessert * Apple Tart ($12) - Granny Smith apple tart served warm with vanilla bean ice cream, housemade caramel sauce, candied pumpkin seeds Everything was outstanding, in both presentation and taste. We loved the cocktails. I've had a lot of old fashioneds and The Katharine's version may have been the best I've had. The cocktails tasted as good as they looked. All were well balanced and thought out. The oysters were local to NC and some of the best I've had in the state. They were high quality, fresh, and clean. The mussels were terrific and we didn't waste a single drop of that sauce. The escargot were fantastic. Like the oysters, they were high quality and fresh. The beef tartare was good as well, probably my least-favorite of the apps, but I'm splitting hairs. The steaks were extremely good. I had the strip and my dad had the ribeye. We had our steaks cooked medium rare and they came out perfect. Wonderful, rich flavor and texture. The trout and duck breast were very good too. My wife described the trout as a modern, playful, lighter version of fish and chips. I really liked the duck breast. Like the steak, the duck was cooked to perfection. The apple tart was absolutely delicious and not too sweet. Tasty, flaky crust. Apples weren't too mushy either. Service was excellent. Our server, Algene, was friendly and personable. He made great recommendations. TL;DR version - Our Winston friends who recommended this place to us, the husband said it best: "It's our favorite upscale restaurant in Winston. Consistently good, and great cocktails."

Absolutely love their salmon. Wish they would bring back the beef tartare although the tuna is still really good. The salmon BLT and truffle fries during lunch are awesome. Decent bourbon selection, hit or miss on allocated bottles but Reasonably priced drinks for the ladies. Typically sit at the bar for a more casual experience.

We went to brunch today at the Katherine and we weee able To sit outside. Perfect weather ! In ordered the turkey croissant - with Brie. It was huge and very tasty. The fries weee crispy and seasoned perfectly. Our service was slow but our waitress was very nice. Great venue especially outdoors

Had an amazing dinner here! It was perfect! The dessert was also so delicious. Everything was amazing would order again in a heartbeat.

We had our 9 person wedding dinner in the private room at The Katharine and it was absolutely perfect. The food was delcious, the staff was friendly and great at their jobs. I would highly recommend going for dinner or having your next private event here!

I would give it a 2.8 , but not a 3 for sure . You can get the Old Fashioned and that I'll give a 4 , but the trout was greasy as he&l , the filet was salty as country ham , even the burger my son had didn't match a CookOut . Ambiance very nice, drinks alright , go elsewhere for the food . We haven't yet got the check but it's bound to be close to $400 for us family of 5 . Try it for yourself and let me know

With the change in hours that came after COVID the lunch menu has been considerably shortened - many of the classic French and Continental dishes are only available at dinner, and some are not on that menu either. This city lacks real access to French food - here the French are fried. I chose to lunch on their charcuterie board with just meat - many places offer a combination of meat and cheese - but not here, meat alone was $20+, but it was a nice meal. If you want a combination including cheese the cost goes up to $36! The items on the board made a good combination, and all tasted great. I miss the variety of dishes that you could have at lunch.

I tried the real Francais and the faux francais tonight. Both were delivered with smoke. I suggest you eat the delicious cherry when you are done. Real one $19. Faux one $12. Faux one is good but no bite. Great way to have a couple fancy drinks without too much liquor. Very fancy and I like they have a nice offering in this section of their drinks menu.

Well, if you're looking for a good time - book a Snowglobe at @katharinebrasserie ! I booked ours over a month ago so I could get a Saturday night spot. It's 2 hours for up to 12 people (though I do feel like 12 would be a tight squeeze). It includes a bottle of champagne, a charcuterie board and a dessert charcuterie board. You can add on from the food or drink menu if you choose, which we did. There was a record player with a stack of records and half a dozen board/card games. We felt transported, truly, to another place. I DJ'd and our server, Ron, was THE BEST! I am sincerely hoping the Katharine does this again next winter because another Snowglobe girls' night is calling my name. And next time, I'll bring my own records.

Great lunch at a beautiful building/restaurant. Enjoyed the lunch and the ambiance is fun and sophisticated.

I'm a huge fan of The Katharine - what a *great* spot for French cuisine. The menu includes many French 'standards' and their preparation is awesome. In fact, the food was so good we came for dinner two nights in a row. Yes, you read that correctly. The service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. And the ambiance was perfect. This is a great spot for a special occasion; reservations strongly recommended.

Visited this establishment on December 30th for an early birthday celebration. Visited for the "winter globe" experience. The experience was very nice. We had a private nice size globe for a party of 9. I'm definitely a nostalgic so the old school phonograph with vinyl albums was an added bonus to which I truly enjoyed. I even brought some of my own albums from home as well. The food included a cheese and meat charcuterie display and a dessert display to which our guests enjoyed. A few guests ordered drinks. Our server Sarah checked on us often and was friendly and hospitable. We did not order any additional meals. The cost per person of the experience is kind of expensive for the level of charcuterie and desserts but the experience was fun, different and delightful.

Great atmosphere and drinks. I came with my friends for a few drinks and I also got the mussels, drinks were amazing and the food did not disappoint. It's a bit pricey but worth a nice splurge.

Finally! I made it to the beautiful and delicious Katharine Brasserie. Why did I wait this long to experience such a wonderful establishment? Nestled in The Kimpton Hotel downtown Winston is The Katharine. The restaurant is beautiful. The bar is huge! There's a "cocktail/bar" area and the main dining area. My friend & I opted to sit in the cocktail area. It's such a chic vibe. They had a blind tasting of a Shiraz wine flight for $15. So I chose that. All the wines were good but I voted for #2 on my ballot. I ordered the beef tartare and it was divine. Two things I wish. They didn't burn the bread & they would offer more with the dish, but I get why they only give you a certain amount, presentation is EVERYTHING. And they presented that tartare beautifully. Main course I ordered the pistachio dusted Nc trout. *Chef kiss* that dish was perfect! It was the crispy skin on the trout for me! I also ordered the Strawberry Eclipse, it was good, but not my type of cocktail. It was more on the sweet, less strong side. Overall this was a great experience, I wouldn't change a thing. I want to say thank you to Melissa who was great from the moment we sat down to the time we left. She was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. Great place for girls night, date night, or just a solo treat! I will definitely be back!

Upscale hotel bar with some of the best drinks in town and one of the most beautiful bars. We stopped in for dinner and were able to grab a seat at the bar. You'll definitely want a reservation if you wanted to be seated at a table. We were greeted soon after despite how busy the restaurant was. We each ordered a drink and got brussel sprouts as an appetizer and burgers for our main. I loved my French Old Fashioned & part of the proceeds were given to charity, so you can "drink for a cause" and feel better about it. The brussels were also fantastic! Some of the best in town! The burgers were pretty good, but the fries outshone them. Great fries! Overall, a really wonderful dining experience and I will definitely be back.

What a lovely place! The atmosphere is wonderful and the servers and all had a great attitude, as you could tell they enjoyed their jobs. For the appetizers we had the escargot, which was delicious. Served with a little warm biscuit on top. We also had the mussels, also absolutely delicious. Excellent flavor in the broth. The oysters we got were sadly not the best. I believe they were from Cape Cod, they were served to us over ice, but we're actually warm. Unfortunately I didn't really want to finish them. That was really the only downfall of the meal. The entrees we got were the cheeseburger with truffle fries and I got an oven baked half chicken. Those were both scrumptious as well! I will definitely return here to try some other items on the menu.

Food is excellent, the restaurant and bar are surprisingly cozy you almost forget you're in a hotel. The service was good, a little slow, but I would have expected impeccable service for such a high end establishment. We started with the escargot and oysters. The escargot was deliciously buttery and rich. The raw oysters were served on rock salt and oddly warm. I miss the raw bar they used to have. I had the salmon entree and a side of Brussels sprouts. The salmon was delicious but it was well done, not medium, like I requested. The creme brûlée was light, creamy and the crisp sugar shell was fresh and warm. Unfortunately, something went wrong and I received my double espresso, that I had given up on, with my check instead of with dessert and it was terrible, no crema or body and very bitter. Over all a fun place for a fancy GNO.

Staff is very professional and polished. The food is very nicely plated. I am always skeptical if a restaurant can cook Duck. This restaurant did not disappoint. It was plated beautifully, and the flavors were what you would expect from a high-end restaurant. Feel free to order anything. A restaurant that can cook duck correctly can cook anything. Perfection, in my opinion. Not too often does this happen.

The ambiance was great and our server Chelsea was amazing and attentive, we will definitely be back! The food was wicked tasty to boot, ate it before taking a picture. We were seated at a table so I can't comment on the bar experience but I can't imagine it's too much different.

This is another "special occasion" restaurant in Winston-Salem. Has great potential, but our experience was interrupted when some soccer kid staying at hotel pulled the fire alarm. Restaurant was evacuated in the middle of our dinner. After just a few bites, the fire department arrived and we were herded out into the street while they checked the building. Our dinner was cold and while they did serve complimentary Champagne, they did nothing to make up for the cold dinner. I would have, at least, knocked off a few $$ from the very high check. All that said, the food is good. The menu has a lot of variety, atmosphere is very good (located in the historic RJR headquarters building). The bar offers a good variety of craft cocktails, wine, and some local beers. I enjoyed the "Cheerwine Old Fashion" made with top shelf Bourbon and a splash of Cheerwine syrup. Very pricy, but it was a special occasion. We'll give it another try.

Went for business dinner with some clients. Nice ambiance and good service but the food was sort of average. I started with the French old fashioned which was great. I loved how they made it very smoky by lighting a small bowl by the table. The Caesar's salad was, candidly, a bit bland. Not enough dressing and the anchovies didn't add much taste. I had the flounder which was nicely cooked but was way too heavily salted.

Wow this place is absolutely gorgeous. From the atmosphere, to the drinks, to the menu, and service, everything was amazing. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Great location downtown. The drinks were phenomenal that I had to get a few of the living in lavender :). The salmon was cooked to perfection and the appetizers were filled with flavor. My and girlfriends had such a wonderful time here celebrating a birthday. Will be back!

Celebrating 19 years of marriage and this was the perfect experience. We had dinner in the globes starting with a sweet & savory charcuterie board to start. For dinner we had Beouf Bourguignon and Steak au Poivre and it delicious. Our server was amazing and the globe experience was nice, there were blankets and also heaters which made it very cozy and we were able to bring our own records. Very nice experience and look forward to going back.

This is one of my favorite places for dining in Winston. The food and service are great. The ambience is comforting. Perfect for solo dining, dates, brunch with friends, you name it.

We decided to have our anniversary dinner at The Katherine. We sat outside on the patio on a beautiful evening and this place did not disappoint! We had a fantastic server (Melissa) who made excellent recommendations and she was kind. We started with a deviled egg appetizer with duck prosciutto, ribeyes for our entree and a crème brûlée (on the house) for our dessert. We had a wonderful dinner and overall experience. It is expensive, but expected expensive. Don't go here if you want cheap, but if you want a quality meal with a good experience, give this a try!

The good: The bar and atmosphere are really great. Really good paloma. The okay: The tomato salad was okay. It wasn't transformative and didn't really match the menu price. Dinner service was better than breakfast service. Even when the fire alarm went off in the middle of our dinner. They did bring a glass of prosecco to make up for the interruption. The could be better: For an upscale restaurant, I found both breakfast and dinner underwhelming. Breakfast was basically diner fare in a nicer setting. I didn't even bother to finish the potatoes. While it's noted they have lots of vegetarian options, I didn't feel that this was accurate. I felt my only real option was a salad and bread. This restaurant is located in my favorite hotel in Winston-Salem. I'm sure I'll be back. Hopefully it's better next time.

Excellent service, ample portions. I had jury duty downtown and found this via Yelp. The lunch menu is more limited but enough for me.

My husband brought me here for my birthday. First thing off the bat when we made the reservations on OpenTable, it would have been nice if the restaurant alerted you that they had free valet parking for guests of the restaurant and hotel. We had to drive around in circles, trying to find a parking garage and with all the bars and gates around the parking garage is it was a little difficult to navigate would've been nice to be dropped off at the door and not have to bother with that if we had known about it. I will say the atmosphere was not what I was expecting. It was very loud and more like a hotel bar than an upscale French restaurant. Because it was just the two of us we were sat at a very small table with two chairs. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable and difficult to sit in and the table barely fit two plates. All of that and our table was directly in the middle of the restaurant right in front the walkway coming in and out of the kitchen and the bathrooms. All that being said, the service and the food were good. There was a little bit of a hiccup when my husband ordered a steak and it came out extremely salty. I took a bite, and when the manager came to speak with us, I asked if the steak had been brined? After talking with the kitchen, he came back and apologized explaining that the kitchen was trying out a new marinade and they were able to make us a new steak that was not yet marinated and that was absolutely delicious! Premium!

The hostess here was lovely. The ambiance is very much like some of the high end restaurants in major cities. The food was just ok. We ordered the escargot which was good- it's in a cast iron skillet sizzling when it gets to your table. I can't tell if our waiter was irritated or just trying to be "stereotypical french" in his service. He enjoyed commenting on the fact we put our menus down and were waiting about 10 minutes for him to take our drink order then expected us to order everything up front since we placed said menu down. Please note we arrived 2+ hour before close. Our table was small since it was just 2 of us and he seemed to come around to the sides of the table where we moved the large candle and bud vase and bread plates (no bread btw but we didn't ask nor want it) so we had to continuously move these things out of the way (3x) The steak frites were not frites but the steak was perfect. When we finished, another gentleman was quick to take our plates in spite of food still being eaten, we let him know we weren't finished but we could take a box. He came back with the box then proceeded to stand over my husband till he finished boxing it then took the silverware from his hand then our plates. Again we are pretty laid back but I imagine not everyone is or would be. This place is beautiful if you want to go to a Instagram/glam place but between the service and quality- it's just not worth it to me. I will say I did find their fancy steak knives and bud vases on amazon- I have the bud vases and I'm totally getting the steak knives. I can't wait to recreate this experience at home.
