Southern Lights Bistro & Bar, Greensboro, North Carolina Restaurant Details

Food:

It is hard for me to give 5 stars to anyone, but Chef John takes it way beyond.
Always an amazing experience, the service, the food, always over the top.

Food:

Food is always delicious!

Food:

This is a creative and inspiring local restaurant that has a great waitstaff and great food. Always get the special. Not a large bar area but good drinks. Always make reservations.

Food:

The new setting is lovely, with table clothes, and fine art...but when the owner/manager walks around in an undershirt, ripped cargo shorts and flip-flops while serving customers....that to me is very unprofessional!!! I like knowing the owner is on the premises but not under this casual guise.

Food:

I visited the new location today on Lawdale Drive. The restarurant's updated decor is very nice. I don't believe the new location has been open for very long and it appears that the restaurant staff is still getting it's footing and rhythm. The wait for seating was ~15 minutes (largely because the hostess was clearing tables in the absence of buss persons). Once seated, another 10 minutes passed before any server addressed my table. By this time everyone in my party had already decided what they'd like for lunch so everyone ordered. After an additional 30 minutes, our food arrived. While the food was tasty, the portions seemed tiny in comparison to the pricing.

The server did not return to the table for drink refills until stopped by someone at the table. Soft drinks were served in cans.

It appears that the restaurant is terribly understaffed and based upon the 10-15 people that I watched walk out of the restarurant in frustration having not been greeted by a hostess, has a very long way to go.
