We really loved our first visit to Undercurrent. I say first because we'll definitely be back. The most obvious benefit is that it's a couple of blocks from the Tanger Performing Arts Center. That being said, we enjoyed every aspect of our dinner. The service was top notch. There was a variety of food options, and we really loved every bite. The tuna starter was delicious, and we had trout and salmon wish were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious!

Food is good—not exceptional. Great service and ambience. Very pricey. Overall, a decent dining experience.

The atmosphere is open and bright. Not great or attentive service. Has the butternut squash soup and beef and lentil soup. It was very good. The lobster and shrimp spring rolls were highly recommended but I didn’t care for them. The sauce was not authentic and the stuffing inside was too much filling and not much lobster or shrimp. We had the special of filet minion with crab and shrimp on top. It was delicious and tender. The arugula salad in the side was okay, the dressing was very tangy. Probably wouldn’t recommend or come back.

The restaurant was great, we had a reservation, we walked right in and were seated. Our server Te was absolutely an angel. The only thing that I didn't like was the samosas. I felt like they missed the spot. Other than that, the food was pretty good. I highly recommend the cauliflower appetizer it was sublime. They had three non alcoholic cocktail options and a few NA Beers and Wine. We got two of the mocktails, and the citrus one was truly amazing. Two things that I didn't love. When they say vegetarian options are available, they mean you order an entree and get no protein, just the side vegetables. Which led to some issues with the vegetarian at the table. They already have cauliflower and other items on the menu that are vegetarian. It just made no sense to me that there isn't a more robust vegetarian entree. The other thing was that one of the bussers was slightly judgey about someone using a steak knife for the grilled chicken. We only had butter knives on the table. So when the steak knives went around, it only made sense to grab a real knife. Otherwise, it was a lovely dining experience, and we will be going back. We really enjoyed the experience.

Wonderful brunch on Sunday during the Folk Festival. We arrived several minutes before opening and resolved to sit outside and wait. But, the host opened the door, invited us in for coffee while we waited for the kitchen to open. The coffee was excellent. My friend ordered French toast and a side of scrambled eggs. I didn't try any, but he said it was amazing. I had the shrimp & grits and can confirm they were amazing. Not overly spiced, just wonderfully creamy grits, sauteed shrimp, and a delightful remolaude. The biscuits were small, but excellent, and presented in a basket and wrapped in linen like the precious cargo they are! Our waiter was perfectly attentive without being intrusive. My coffee was refilled right on time, each time. Same with water. The overall experience far exceeded expectations.

Score! Another great one in Greensboro! Thank you google reviewers for leading us here! We had a great experience as they bring classics like a pulled pork sandwich to life! Fried chicken was amazing as was everything else. Emily, who was close to ending her shift paid full attention to us ensuring we had the perfect glass of wine to walking us through the entrees!

Oh wow! I went looking for a good spinach salad and they delivered! I also got the cauliflower! Yummy! They are not dog friendly but when I called to make my reservation the manager was so nice that when I arrived he had a baggie of dog food for my Bruno! The atmosphere was very quiet and flow. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a good variety of food and a relaxing atmosphere! Thanks again!

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I used to frequent this restaurant for lunch when I worked downtown. They always had great lunch specials that were high-quality. The ambiance is upscale and comfortable. Definitely a great spot to enjoy a date night, brunch get together or a business lunch. The service was excellent, the bloody Mary's were the best in Greensboro, and the food was as excellent as I remember. Everyone at the table enjoyed the biscuits that were served and our brunch entrees, including the UC wrap for me, were fresh and flavorful. I could taste and enjoy the flavors that attracted me to the dish when I read the menu description.

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.

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

We finally made it out here for brunch! The complimentary biscuits and jam were delicious! They have the usual tasty suspects for brunch options. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant is bright, airy, and tastefully decorated. We will definitely be back again to try new seasonal dishes. Check them out, you will not be disappointed!

First time for brunch and it was excellent. Scott took care of us and is always pleasant, engaging and helpful. The house omelette was terrific...it was essential a caprese salad with a light, excellently prepared omelette m. Also had the French toast,and, again it was excellent. House made brioche and a reach tasting maple syrup. We really enjoy the patio and would recommend it if the weather is nice.

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.

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.

The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Everyone greeted us from the door to the table and our waiter was everything you could want from being attentive to us and the other tables around us. He recognized birthdays and was Johnny on the spot with everything you needed before you even asked! The ambiance is like a fancy restaurant and the food presentation is too, but the prices are very affordable. Great place for brunch and we will surely be back for other meals too!

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.

The food is good, the place is beautiful, and all the servers were super sweet! Our group split egg rolls and samosa, and I got two old fashions and the steak. SO good! My steak haunted me the whole next day, I wanted more! The only thing is that two of our group split the steak and the salmon, which they said had the same gravy. I'm not sure I would have liked that gravy on the salmon, but they didn't say it was bad.

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!

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.

This was a great restaurant for Sunday Brunch after church. Called 3 other places and they all require to be added to the list, check in, and wait an additional 30-60 minutes to be seated. Husband called here and made our reservation with no problem or hassle. Parking is available right across the restaurant making it easy access. As we entered we were greeted by a friendly hostess. We arrived 5 minutes early and our table was already waiting for us with water already served. The restaurant had a peaceful and relaxed setting with natural light to enjoy a beautiful breakfast. Biscuits were brought to the table with butter and strawberry jelly. Biscuits are soft and full of flavor. Smoked Salmon Toast with a side of fruit was my pick and it was well presented, creamy with each bite, and egg were runny. Husband had the Shrimp and Grits and it was creamy and well complemented with the tomato sauce. There was not a kids menu, so my daughter had the Brunch Burger which looked amazing, but pretty big meal for a 9 year old. She enjoyed it, but had to grab a to go box. Overall the experience and food was delicious, will definitely be going back to try their dinner menu.

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.

If you haven't tried brunch at the Undercurrent your missing out!!! FRESH- the fresh biscuits that come out are delicious!! Also the fresh baked muffin selection is worth asking what the flavor is!! BLOODY MARY- I was a little fun after this one. So delicious and the garnishes were aggressive in the best way! Sunday 1030!! I love an early brunch time!! Thank you Undercurrent for a great meal.

Nice environment and service, but don't order the ribeye as the quality is bad and the is not properly cooked. I don't think I found a reason to return. You don't get the cost benefit

Was in the Greensboro area for business and looking for a nice meal. Within walking distance from the Marriott Downtown I made my way to the Undercurrent. I had the pan seared salmon blackened, this meal was not only delicious but the very best meal that I had during my stay. The staff was very friendly, great atmosphere and overall great design dining experience. Plan to make this a regular stop while in the area.

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!

We received a gift for our wedding back November. We finally decided to go and they didn't disappoint. Server Ron was great. You wouldn't have known that it was his first day. The decor and atmosphere was very delightful. Now the food. I recommend the potato leek soup, angus steak med/well. Salmon was good but the jasmine rice could have cooked a little better. Cheesecake was good. I do recommend this for special occasions

First visit was a great experience! It's a beautiful space and much effort has been put into creating just the right ambience. I appreciated the big, open space that allowed a lot of room between tables. Our server was also fantastic and gave us some great suggestions. We started off with our servers suggestion of the Crispy Fingerling Potatoes and the Braised Beef Turnover. The potatoes were wonderful and I could have easily gotten just a side of the Beehive Cheese Red Butte Hatch Chile Cheddar that comes with it. I loved the added caramelized onions as well. The turnover was also tasty, but the compote and the aioli it was served with was very unique! For my entrée I had the Maple-Smoked Grilled Pork Tenderloin. It was a very generous serving of pork and grit cake. The cauliflower was a little on the bland side and I didn't end up eating it, but I did enjoy the bacon grit cake, because who doesn't want more bacon in everything?? It's a wonder that it took me several years of living in Greensboro before trying this place out. It's excellent for date night, groups, casual drinks. I look forward to returning to try out another interesting dish!

Wonderful food and service. Very nice atmosphere. We had a group of seven and they accommodated us quickly.

Nice venue, great service. Unfortunately that was it. While the ribeye temperature was perfect and presentation nice, it surprisingly lacked any seasoning and was tough, as in you had to really work to cut it. Same with the accompanying potatoes and veggies - no seasoning at all. I can't speak for the rest of the table, but noticed I wasn't the only one looking for the salt and pepper. Given the overall great reviews I'd like to think it was a one-off, but I'm not going back to find out.

What good are quarterly bonuses if not to spend them treating your friends to a fine dining experience? I hadn't been to Undercurrent in a few years and my friend had never been, which made it an obvious choice. Open Table made it super easy to make a reservation ahead of time. They're deservedly very popular but we were able to get a later reservation at 8pm on a Friday night. To start we ordered a couple of cocktails. They had several yummy sounding fall inspired beverages. I ordered the Perfect Pear (vodka, elderflower, pear, honey, lemon, soda) and my friend ordered the Cider Spritz (rum, apple cider, champagne). The presentation was beautiful with a dehydrated pear slice that topped my drink and a whole cinnamon stick in the cider spritz. Although a bit on the sweet side we both enjoyed our beverages. For our appetizers we split the brussel sprouts and a domestic artisan cheese selection. The brussel sprouts were perfectly roasted and tossed in a delicious mustard sauce with rosemary aioli. Our cheese spread included an Ashe Bleu, Espresso rubbed sartori wise, red butter hatch chile aged cheddar, Swiss cheese, red onion/date/raisin compote, and some crackers. The favorite of the table was the aged cheddar. It was so soft and melted right in your mouth. The compote was also a great compliment to all of the cheeses. My friend enjoyed the crackers saying they reminded her of thin crust pizza dough. For our entrees we ordered the seared sea scallops and the fried quail special. The sea scallops were cooked to perfection and so deliciously buttery and tender. I was a little disappointed by the risotto that came with it because it was pretty bland. The fried quail was also very good although a little awkward to eat since it was a whole quail. That's probably due to that fact that I don't order quail often. It was perched on top of whipped potatoes that seemed to have been slightly broiled along with some seasonal vegetables. Overall it was a really solid dish. I really wish we had had room for desserts but it just wasn't in the cards for this visit. I'll be sure to return and pace myself a little better next time!

Attn: CHRIS! You're not just the "manager" you're one of owners!!! My wife, daughter and I had made a reservation to dine here to celebrate my daughters birthday, and to also celebrate her acceptance at a local college. What a perfect way to end such a wonderful day.... We were promptly seated on arrival, and our waitress, Miryam, was a delight. For a quick and easy sharable appetizer, we picked the fingerling potatoes. They were served fairly promptly as was our wine (and soda for our daughter). Missing any discernible sauce (it was smeared on the plate under to potatoes), they were otherwise quite bland. A salt shaker swiped from the adjoining table added the needed seasoning to make these more interesting. There was an uncomfortable delay between this course and our entrees. Our waitress did make us aware that they were working on our meals, and finally 3 entrees arrived. My wife had chosen the Joyce Farms chicken, our daughter the pork tenderloin, and I had ordered the roast lamb, medium rare. (I'll post the pics below). Unfortunately, the Celery Root-Parsnip Puree that the lamb was sat on was cold. Not stone cold, not warm, cold. I asked our waitress to make sure if this puree was supposed to be hot or cold. Hot, she replied. Our waitress went the the kitchen and returned, telling me they'd make it again. I had eaten one of the 3 portions of lamb, but hey, I was now hungry. A few minutes later my dish returned, with the original 2 remaining lamb chops now on fresh Celery Root-Parsnip Puree. To my shock, this too was cold. Not any warmer at all. Our waitress returned and asked if everything was ok, and I told her AGAIN, it's cold. I offered her to taste it, touch it, anything. I asked my wife to taste it, and she confirmed - IT'S COLD! I wasn't going crazy. Again, for the second time my dish went back to the kitchen. Again, a few minutes later my plate returned, and Chris, the "manager" placed my dish in front of me and stated, "I HOPE THIS IS WARM ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW!" I was somewhat taken aback, and reminded him that I had hoped that it was warm enough for him to serve me, and he told me, "I won't be spoken to in that manner!" WHAT???? You're serving me cold food, and now you want to know if it's warm enough for me? At no time did he offered me an apology. He just walked away. Chris, this "manager" was obviously irate that I had returned unsatisfactory food TWICE, and I then looked down at my plate. There was a quadruple portion of now hot puree (that tasted of ... nothing!), and my original 2 lamb chops, and some Collard Greens. (so much for just remaking my dish). I have no idea what happened to my 2 remaining lamb chops but they had gone from medium rare to medium well. This delightfully delicately balanced meal, had gone from visibly appetizing to a plate of overcook garbage. Our waitress was visibly shocked by the managers attitude, and asked what she could do for me. "Please take this off the check." She asked, and they did. I've no idea why some of my food was cold, I have no idea why it wasn't fixed at the first opportunity, and I cannot explain the repugnant attitude of someone who was given a job to fix it, easily and without an attitude. Hot food coming from the kitchen shouldn't be ... difficult. My wife and daughter both enjoyed their meal, our service was otherwise stellar, and I can see why this was a popular restaurant. However, the managers attitude has no place in this type of establishment. So, learn from me. Don't complain. Don't send it back. Just eat it. Hopefully it's good the first time.

How have I never been here?! My first time at Undercurrent was a treat. We stopped in for brunch (10:30-1:30 on Sundays) and started out with buttery mini biscuits with fresh jam! Our waitress was very sweet and attentive the whole time, I wish I had remembered her name. She was fantastic! The eggs Benedict had a beautiful presentation! Love the addition of pork belly. I got the breakfast burrito as my entree. A unique combination of flavors but it WORKED. Scrambled egg, fried green tomatoes, Queso fresco and roasted tomato aioli wrapped in a warm tortilla. This was very filling to be vegetarian. The fried green tomatoes had that perfect crispy crust and didn't get mushy at all, yet the tomatoes were cooked through, soft inside! Just perfect. We also shared the tres leche waffle, I liked the milk syrup, it was something unique and fun! Loved the fresh fruit with the crispy, fluffy waffle! Undercurrent has a white tablecloth feel, but it's not overly fancy, and the prices are great for the quality and portion size!

One word, phenomenal! I dined here solo on a work trip and sat at the bar. The restaurant was busy for Thursday night, and the staff appeared busy. Most of the staff was friendly, but some definitely seemed more frenzied than they should be. Nonetheless, I had a fantastic meal here. I started out with the brussels sprouts appetizer and they were so well done. The sauce was delicious and the brussels sprouts were nice and crispy but tender on the inside. For my main I went with the chicken, which is something I would not normally order out, but all of the side components just sounded so appealing. Well, the chicken was grilled perfectly and was nicely seasoned and as expected, the eggplant, tahini sauce, and everything else on the dish just really complemented the meal. I would order this again, and the price point was pretty reasonable. The bread that was delivered hot and complementary was amazing. I last minute decided to order the chocolate flourless torte, and that was also very good but extremely rich and better for sharing. I love the ambience of the restaurant and the bar was nice. I did try a cocktail, but it wasn't necessarily my favorite. The cocktail menu was worth a try though, and I will come back to try others.

Nestled in downtown by the ball field is this little gem. I have been several times and have not been disappointed in the past. This was our first time coming for brunch. When we walked in we were greeted by a very chipper hostess who took us to a nice table dresses in white linen. We ordered bloody Mary's to start and this might be one of the best I've had in a while. I loved that it came with a slice of bacon on a skewer filled with tomato, pickled zucchini and olive. Dressed with celery and lemon and lime. 10/10! They bring out a basket full of baby biscuits that are like little clouds of butter and flour with jelly and cream cheese to garnish. I could have eaten so many but restrained myself! The club wrap was well made with lots of meat and the havarti cheese really melted everything together. The potato hash were small and was a little soggy with a bunch of sautéed peppers, I felt like this side could use a little elevation. The French toast was topped with a brûlée and espresso sauce and was nice a fluffy. The coffee is really great as well. The ambiance was nice and the restaurant was filled with lots of natural light. I recommend to anyone for a date, couples date or with a group!

their brunch is very mediocre. tried their rosemary ham and brie sandwich and it definitely had potential but the flavors just weren't coming together. the waitress was kind of spacey and all over the place but we were able to get seated without a reservation. they included tiny little biscuits at the table which were very cute and pretty good

The pork tenderloin was amazing. The best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. I didn't care for the shrimp and lobster rolls. I didn't taste shrimp or lobster. The grits on the tenderloin plate was delicious. Friendly staff. It's an upscale place with older clientele. Def would come back again.

Food was just ok, you pay for the ambiance. Service was good. Had the Filipino skewers, somewhat dry, not a lot of flavor. Also had chicken dish, chicken also a little dry.

Great venue for business dinners or birthday parties. The selection of items was great and the server to go with it. They make you feel at home and never a rush.

I've been wanting to check this restaurant out for some time now. What a pleasant surprise! The ambiance is very appealing, modern French. Very nice for a great upscale dinner. The food is excellent! I had the trout in a light covering of breading and seasoned to perfection! The dish was served with fava beans that at first glance looked like petite potatoes they were so big and so delicious! They had a full bar and wine menu and the bartender was adept at making a dirty martini w blue cheese stuffed olives. Service was very respectful, polite and the service was swift, which is hard to do when we were 2 tables of 19 people total. When you want a special restaurant, great food and good service come enjoy this restaurant. I know for one this place will be seeing me again!

I really wish I could've given undercurrent more than three stars but here's why. The location is in a really cool trendy neighborhood and I loved the ambience of feeling like you're walking into a restaurant in Rome. After being seated, I was pleased to be able to look into the open kitchen because I love watching chefs do their work! Our waitress, McKenna was very attentive to us and, we really appreciated that. However, I had to take a star away for the slow service. The service was unbelievably slow, literally waiting about 45 minutes for the appetizer to hit the table. Then afterwords, the entrée did not arrive until another 35 to 40 minutes after. Now, I will say that the appetizer we did get was really good, but it was also extremely hot! I think the kitchen may want to check this before putting it out because I probably burnt my tongue after devouring one, but that's also to say that it was very tasty! so if you're reading this and you do order the lobster & shrimp egg rolls be wary that you might burn some tastebuds if you go in too fast! For my drink, I ordered the UC old fashion, which was strong, but also very sweet. If you are not a fan of sweetness please do not get this drink. Four entrées we ordered the duck dish and the scallop dish. Both were excellent! If this establishment can just fix these minor issues it will be a home run!
