An ode to them. ‘cille & ‘scoe encapsulates everything Sean’s grandparents taught him about food while they ignited his passion for cooking all those years ago. In a plot they shared with a neighbor, Sean learned to cultivate produce from seed to final dish and how to appreciate every step along the way. The originators of the farm-to-table push back before it was cool, we like to say. In the same light, our concept will take you back to a time when a banana was not within the reach of North Carolina, while the food and ambiance will mimic a modern, natural, and upscale vibe where no flavors are missed.

The good:
The drinks were solid. I really enjoyed the mimosas, especially the brown sugar one, which was absolutely delicious and something I would recommend. Overall, the drinks were a highlight for us. I will say that for the price, the pour felt a bit small, which was disappointing.
I ordered two entrées. One was the steak omelette and the other was the eggnog French toast. The eggnog French toast was absolutely amazing and easily one of the best parts of the meal.
Our server was very nice and attentive, which I do want to acknowledge.
The not so great:
We were seated at the end of the restaurant near a set of double doors facing outside. Throughout our entire visit of about an hour and a half, there was a strong odor coming from that area. It smelled like either trash, sewer, or dishes that needed to be washed. My husband guessed it may have been coming from outside trash cans, but regardless of the source, the smell never went away and did affect the dining experience.
Unfortunately, my main issue was with the steak omelette. I immediately noticed a very strong and off putting odor. I only took one bite and could not continue eating it. I was told the cheese used was Gruyere. While I understand it can have a distinct smell, this was far stronger than anything I have experienced, especially having recently used Gruyere at home. The smell was overpowering and made the dish inedible for me, so I did send it back.
I would have appreciated not being charged for that omelette, as I truly did not eat it beyond one bite and was clearly dissatisfied.
One additional note, and I realize this may be picky. The server was wearing a sweatshirt that had visible grease splatter and debris, likely from the kitchen. While I understand things happen during service, it felt a bit off putting for an upscale setting. That said, the server themselves was very kind and professional.
Overall, I would not say this is a terrible place. The drinks and French toast were enjoyable, but between the lingering odor in the seating area, the issue with the omelette, and the presentation details, the experience fell short for me. I am giving this a three star rating based on that balance.
I got the shrimp and grits and my sister got the Pumkinoli. The shrimp and grits was a new spin on an old favorite. The grits were fried into patties and soaked up all the yummy sauce so well. The Pumkinoli was absolutely delicious.
They also make their own soda using a recipe from the 1800’s!!! And it was also amazing! Not one thing here was not well thought out, prepared beautifully, and absolutely amazing.
AND, their menu changes with the seasons so they can ensure it tracks with the local harvest! I was impressed with the thought that went into the meals here, and can’t wait to come back.
**Also! The wait can be a little longer than normal because every single dish is made fresh. We were told that up front, and the wait was well worth it!
And our waitress was the absolute best!
I’m already planning my next visit so I can try the corned beef hash and the sausage‑and‑gravy biscuit. If the rest of the menu is anything like what I had today, I know I’m in for another great meal.
I’ve never been to a restaurant and paid so much for such a bare-minimum meal. I politely asked the server if I could swap it for a burger instead, which looked decent, but I was told no since the dish was already cooked. On top of that, I was informed they don’t keep much food in storage, so they couldn’t bring me anything else unless I ordered (and paid for) another dish. So essentially, I would’ve been stuck paying for this sad excuse of a plate (bacon-wrapped shrimp & dirty rice) no matter what.
To add to the disappointment, the chairs were uncomfortable, the food was overpriced, and the overall experience was a solid 0/10. Without a doubt, this is the worst dining experience I’ve had in Greensboro. I will never be back—hands down.
