Undercurrent Restaurant was an excellent choice for a New Year’s Eve dinner before seeing Hamilton at the Tanger Center. My wife loved the seared scallops! The wine specials were just right. This is a great restaurant for people that need to eat gluten free including two spectacular gluten free desserts. The flourless Mexican chocolate cake with candied orange was my favorite! Great date night for couples!

Undercurrent Restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience! Alvin, our server, was outstanding—knowledgeable and attentive from the start. The Lobster and Shrimp Spring Rolls were a perfect appetizer with their flavorful sauces. The Smoked Jerk Duck Leg, recommended by Alvin, was delicious, while the Seared Sea Scallops with sweet and sour green bamboo rice offered a refreshing twist. We ended the meal with the Banana Pudding Cheesecake, a delightful finish to a fantastic dinner. Can’t wait to explore more of the menu soon!

Had an amazing and intimate dinner with my wife while visiting Greensboro at this absolute gem. Sam and Savannah took amazing care of us and made wonderful suggestions. All of our dishes were super tasty and as a Ribeye connoisseur I can say this is one of the best quality ribeyes I’ve ever had not to mention it was cooked to perfection. Had the “Manila Sun” a tequila cocktail with a vanilla rim….. absolute genius. My wife enjoyed the “Harvest Moon” a gin cocktail with basil, plum and ginger beer, she loved it, refreshing and balanced. Very well crafted wine list with a huge price range for every budget. We started with Filipino BBQ Pork Skewers and Fried Oysters yummmmm. Finished with Pecan Tart with Bulleit Bourbon Ice Cream 😊 Look forward to having their Smoked Jerk Duck Leg on our next visit.
