We stopped here for dinner on a Monday night. It was pretty dead so we were almost not going to go in. Plus the many negative reviews had us wondering. I’m so glad we went in! Our waitress, Carter, was very prompt, personable, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Piri Piri Chicken and the Branzino. Oh yes, the Bread Service as the starter. All was amazing! Bread Service was homemade sourdough amd rosemary bread with a seasoned butter. The Branzino was fantastic, including the green tahini sauce on the side. I had never had Peri Peri chicken and was worried it would be too spicy. I ordered it mild and it was perfect! Would definitely order that again. The Piedmont cocktail was also excellent.
Whatever happened in the past, they seem to be back on track. A dead night like tonight could have had bad chefs and servers. Not so at all.

Overall I had a good experience here. The entrance is quite odd, there was no host. I went to the hotel check-in and she told me to speak with the bartender for a table; I just sat at the bar. I was the only person there at 10:00am on a Thursday, which could probably be expected. I had the All American Breakfast with over medium eggs, bacon, potatoes and a Bloody Mary. The eggs had runny whites but I can deal with that, the rest of the plate was solid. The Bloody Mary was a respectable 7.5/10 (two olives and a lemon wedge… come on.) I would definitely come back here again… pretty cool spot in downtown Winston!

Had a wonderful brunch experience! Enjoyed a delicious Eggs Benedict at their Sunday Smooth Jazz Brunch, complete with complimentary glass of “Bubbly”. The live jazz music was very nice and entertaining. My friends really enjoyed their meal as well. The “bloody mary bar” and the “mimosa bar” added a fun option to customize your drink exactly how you like it! Prices were reasonable, food was delicious, serice was attentive and prompt without rushing, and the music was enjoyable. We’ll definitely make a return visit. PS -they also let us know that they do pairings dinners – can’t wait to experience one of those in the near future.

I had the Beef Wellington and my partner had the Carbonara. The Beef Wellington was excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Carbonara was good, but not quite as memorable. The restaurant itself was very nice with a pleasant atmosphere, though the service was mediocre and could’ve been more attentive my diet coke stayed empty. Overall, a solid experience with room for improvement in the service.

Had a 6pm reservation and had to wait about 5 minutes before the gentleman working the valet noticed and assisted. We were then escorted to the bar and told to wait there. Bartender was cool and after getting a drink, I had to ask about getting our table. She wasn’t aware and there was definitely a misunderstanding. We were then sat and ordered our dinner. Arancini was on point! Ordered the Carbonara and Beef Wellington. The Carbonara needed salt and not enough Parmesan. The Beef Wellington was cooked well and I thought there was too much liquid on the bottom. Besides that, our waitress was awesome and we had a great time. Probably wouldn’t return again.

The beef Wellington wasn’t the best, but everything else was fantastic. Very good smoked old fashioned!

So we actually went to Winston on a Sunday morning for a brunch pop up in another establishment but we got there at 10 am and the line of 50 people was out the door and down the street. The neighbor suggested we go elsewhere and she suggested here. I was skeptical. There was no one in here except a couple tables. The space was amazing. Really cool and funky with great food related quotes on the walls. The menus came and it looked ok. I went with the Pimento Cheese omelet with potatoes and toast. The tri color chunk potatoes were amazing. The omelet was fantastic. Toast was way above average. Even the coffee was well done. Our server Sarah was so nice and attentive. My neighbor had the avocado toast.

The super cool early 1900’s vibe hits you as soon as you walk in with an incredible music selection to match. It is as relaxing as a Yoga class. The waitress was super nice and attentive. She also gladly helped me navigate the menu sharing her personal favorites and other popular choices. I love place that has something on the menu that I’ve tried before. I’ll have the Char-Grilled Octopus please.

We love the atmosphere of Sir Winston. The staff is friendly and service is usually quick. The food is very good and filling. We got the charcuterie board as an appetizer and the Old Man and the Sea entree. Both were great and they actually got me hooked on pickled okra!
I don’t drink but my husband enjoys their cocktails. I usually get a mocktail but find it absurd that they charge you $10 for a skinny mocktail.

I had no expectations when I went to this restaurant and was immediately impressed by the atmosphere and the food sealed the deal. We had the Brussel sprout tacos, Old man and the sea and the grilled meatloaf (all 10 out of 10)
Our waitress Isabella said the Brussels sprout taco appetizer was her favorite appetizer and she told no lies! The Brussels sprouts are fried and give a chicken Essence. The peppers added a nice kick but not too spicy and the aioli was a punch of flavor. I would literally just eat this as a meal.
Next our waitress Isabella recommended Okd man and the sea as her favorite meal and I can see why! It had shrimp and scallops topped on a potato cake. This was my first time having a potato cake and it did not disappoint. It was solid yet light and soaked up the flavor of the lobster cream sauce well. The scallops and shrimp were perfectly cooked. The asparagus on top was a nice accent and not too leafy tasting
I also tried the Grilled meatloaf. It was more like a patty loaf than a true meatloaf style. The sauce was savory and blended well. The onions were not overpowering and mixed in well to where I didn’t even notice them. t’s not your grandmas meatloaf for sure… think more modern.
