    A wonderful meal with my wife and friends. I had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and well-seasoned. I really enjoyed their old fashion which used a house made 'spiced' simple syrup and was not overly sweet. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I look forward to enjoying another meal there again soon!

    Undercurrent is usually our go to place for special occasions. So we selected it for our husband's Birthday-which also happened to be Easter Sunday. It was not especially busy as we chose lunch/brunch time. The food was sub par and the service was very slow and unresponsive. We left with a very cold (which was how our food was served) feeling. So disappointing since this was a special birthday for my husband. We may reconsider our standard choice in the future.

    First time dining here. Our server Holly was excellent,as a matter of fact, everyone working there was wonderful! The ambiance and decor is simply beautiful! We did Easter Brunch, the Lemon Poppyseed with blueberries Waffle was to die for! We do not live in the area, our daughter attends UNCG, so we frequent the Greensboro area, and we will definitely be back! I highly recommend dining here.

    Was really great. Knocked it out of the park with this current menu. Scallops, pork entrees were exceptionally good. Great, understated service.

    This place was across the street from the Marriott where we were staying and the description as a white-tableclothed farm-to-table New American fare upscale restaurant sold us. Overall, it was a good meal. - Scott, our server, was great: knowledgeable and attentive. - The restaurant isn’t as elevated as the description portrays - no tablecloths, and while some tables had a nice tulip centerpiece, our table had what looked like a 3-day-plucked daisy lol.  - I had the lamb chops and the angus ribeye. My friend had the spinach salad, the pork chops, and the apple pie skillet for dessert. The food was well presented and was well flavored. The only real negative was the too-cool temperature for all our hot dishes. To illustrate, the butter medallion on the $45 ribeye didn’t melt at all during the entire entree course; nor did the vanilla ice cream along the side of the apple pie. It felt like the chef had prepared wonderful dishes that had then unfortunately sat under a weak heat lamp. - Prices were a tad steep considering the plastic tables and temperature issues. Overall, it was a lovely meal, and I appreciated their selection of dessert wines. Would be a good option for a date night as long as you are prepared for slightly warm food.

    Beautiful, modern setting. Very creative menu . Fairly priced wine list and very friendly, attentive staff. Perfect place for dinner before walking to the Tanger Theater!
