Greensboro Restaurant Guide

Okay, it is very expensive. Do not go here for dinner unless you are willing to spend $$$. Lunch is more reasonable. Getting that out of the way, the food, drinks and service are excellent. The attention to detail includes a person who stages your food on the plate and makes sure the food and plate are perfect before your server delivers the food. Dark wood eveywhere, thick cushions on the seats ... class. May be the best in Greensboro.

We went to Gate City for my birthday this year and had a wonderful experience. I completely disagree with the previous reviewer's comments that you cannot have a great dinner on a budget here. We also ordered the dinner for two, the Chateaubriand Filet which comes with soup or salad for each of you, and a generous portion of filet accompanied by two sides each. We had the she-crab soup, and chose sauteed mushrooms in a cabernet sauce, sauteed spinach, and mashed potatoes (2 orders) for our sides. Everything tasted wonderful, the steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was flawless. If there was a higher rating for service than 5 stars, they deserve it. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant!

Let me begin by saying that I think you can have an excellent dinner at this restaurant...if you have $50 per person to spend. We tried to go the frugal way and ordered the Dinner for Two special which includes Soup/Salad, 6oz fillet or chix breast, or salmon steak, one side dish, and dessert all for $50. Sounds like a deal, right? Well, our dinner started off with a sizzle with AWESOME she crab soup and hot rolls but progressed to a fizzle rather quickly. Don't order the twice baked potato. It is day old mashed potatos reheated in a potato skin with cheese on top. The fillet was good, the salmon was over cooked and nothing to write home about. But, we thought, the dessert will get us back on track. With the dessert menu brimming with things like double chocolate suicide cake and bananas foster we were bound to hit a winner...wrong! We weren't allowed to choose off the desert menu and were served the lamest week old biscuits with budget ice cream and low quality canned pie filling on top. They didn't even splurge for whipped cream which makes anything better! We couldn't even eat it...no kidding! The waiter was very attentive with my drink and had I ordered a baked potato and had a real dessert I think we would have had an entirely different experience. Just don't try to have a gourmet meal on a shoestring budget...this is one restaurant where you get what you pay for...and maybe less.
