I will say the parking lot is super hectic and stays pretty packed. I was able to find a nice part, but it didn't look promising and I'm not sure where the next this area is to park if you can't get in the parking lot. For this visit, my group split a bottle of wine. Our host made it easy to do so. He answered all of our questions, let us sample a few ones to see which one we liked best, and he was super attentive. I forget about this spot because it's not on my normal route, but when I go, it's always an amazing experience.

We've had an amazing time on all occasions. The space is very comfortable inside with a huge bar top and cozy seating throughout. They have a ton of books and wall decor on the history of Greensboro as well. TVs inside with sports on so the place appeals to many. And the covered patio is great with plenty of seating outside. Huge variety of whites, reds, sweet and dessert wines, plus a nice beer selection for those more into the hops. They also have a small menu of bites, apps and charcuterie's to go along with the drinks. Not a full meal, but a perfect pairing for the drinks. The owners are a blast as well. Inviting, friendly and a pleasure to talk to. They have a ton of activities planned weekly and monthly. Live music all the time, special wine flights, and amazing dinner and wine events you can sign up for in advance.

Lewis and Elm delivers a 5 star experience on so many levels. Many people I've spoken with think it's just a wine bar. Oh no, it goes well beyond your typical wine bar. First off, they have a full bar with a huge specialty cocktail list, craft beers, non alcoholic options and even THC drinks. We had amazing wine off of their impressive list, plus a few cocktails that were mixed extremely well. The food: amazing to say the least. Charcuteries, meats, cheeses, apps, finger foods, and a few uniques you have to get (one in particular). We enjoyed a beautifully plated charcuterie (see pic), the caprese bruschetta, a goat cheese pesto bruschetta, and that one in particular: the medjool dates. Everything was delicious, but these dates were on another level. The dates were surrounded by a bed of creamy Brie cheese melted perfectly, topped with crispy prosciutto and sprinkled with a balsamic reduction. All of this is easily mopped up with the fresh focaccia the dish comes with. This dish rocked! It was perfect on its own, but paired amazingly well with both the chilled white wine and the cocktails we were enjoying. The vibe is amazing as well. Upscale but super comfy interior. Come casual or dressed to impress, it all works here. Live music on the weekends add to the atmosphere and the whole experience. Come for the whole evening, or pre-dinner/pre-show drinks and bites, or even for a night cap after a dinner or show. Come for a quick pit stop, or stay for the live music. It's an all around excellent experience with great drinks, food, service and vibe.

The menu reflects this with cocktails, wine and beer and the menu is extensive on the beverages! The food menu is terrific and has so much variety and some really nice plates small and large. It was a theater night when we went and we had a 7.30 show to goto and our server knew that. We got there at 5.30 so figured that gave us the 10 mins to walk to the theater to be on time. We started off with some drinks. My friend loved her cherry ale and I really enjoyed my G&T , the glass it came in was just so unusual. The G&T took awhile to finally make it to me but i loved it. We ordered the tuna tartare and that was delicious and served up with fried green tomatoes which was a different take on it. Nice and fresh and nicely presented. Our entrees were the salmon for my friend and I had the Bahn mi chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Usually this sandwich is with pork so I wanted to try this. The service for our dinner took almost 45 mins we had finished the app awhile back and my grind had another drink and still we were waiting. It was closing in on 6.50 Pm and at this point we would be inhaling our food when it came and rushing out the door . It came at 7pm and the sandwich was good but they should mention on the menu that it has mayonnaise on it as I don't like that but there was quite a bit on the bun. Not typically in this type of sandwich so I wasn't expecting it. The chicken was a good and flavorful and lots of other veggie fillings and the fries were great. My friend really enjoyed her salmon and the risotto it came with. Just disappointed we had to eat it all so quickly and leave some so we could pay and leave. We had our eye on the lemon posset tart for dessert but we didn't have time . We just thought since the server knew we had theater tickets she would have been more on top of it. Yes they were busy as it was a show night but the place wasn't totally full. Seemed like no urgency when we asked how long the food would be as we had to leave soon. I'd maybe try this place again on a non show night, as I thought they had a great menu. I enjoyed the place just not the service as we barely made the show before the lights went down.

So parking is very limited but worth the trouble to stop in for a nice variety of wines in a busy, cozy, unique tavern. They have friendly staff that serve at and around the bar and tables in a effortless manner that amazes me when the place is hopping. I did not have to wait long to place my request or receive same. I inquired about the wine tasting for $5.00 and was told you would receive 2 tastings of white wine. Perhaps they do reds on a different night but I didn't ask. There is a written wine list of reds and whites to order full glasses of whites or reds which should suffice. I asked folks what they were drinking and there were many red wine-o's ha ha. The Bordeaux drinkers were happy with their choice and the Malbec drinkers were satisfied with their choice and commented the wine was soft. I chose a cold Chenin Blanc mostly cuz I haven't seen it on a menu in the Triad for quite some time. It was quite good great nose of sweetness but dry enough to be a good all round table wine. Its similar to Pinot Gregio but not dry or tart. I think when I'm back in GSO I will stop in to this unique wine bar again as it was a nice experience and everyone seemed very chill and friendly.

Great bang for your buck! Food is top notch. Their spaghetti was amazing 5/5, and their steak is beyond flavorful but definitely not worth the high markup. Please offer an adult sized steak, thank you! T-bone, porterhouse, nothing too crazy Their apps are the best though, and a good value for your experience. I'll go and order 4-5 apps easily, no need for the skimpy entrées. Service is great, staff is attentive, and all the Ts and I's are crossed and dotted. Clean, friendly, water is good and tea is fresh not spoiled. They have a stellar variety of wines, but I love their sweet collection. So much flavor and unique notes I don't find elsewhere too often.

Unfortunately, our experience at Cooper's Hawk was extremely disappointing--especially considering…read morethis was already a second-chance visit. After a previous subpar experience, Cooper's Hawk corporate reached out and provided us with gift cards to encourage us to return. We appreciated the gesture and came back genuinely hoping our first experience had simply been an off night. Unfortunately, this visit was actually worse. The biggest problem was the service. We experienced unreasonably long waits throughout the evening, both for drinks and between courses. These weren't occasional delays during an otherwise well-paced dinner--the poor pacing affected the entire meal and made what should have been an enjoyable evening unnecessarily frustrating. We were also uncomfortable with some mildly inappropriate and unprofessional conduct from our server. I don't feel the need to publicly go into detail, but combined with the extremely slow service, it contributed to an experience that fell well below what we would expect from a restaurant at this price point. What makes this particularly disappointing is that Cooper's Hawk corporate had already acknowledged our previous experience and made a genuine effort to get us back through the door. This was an opportunity for the restaurant to win us back, and instead we left feeling even more disappointed than we did the first time. I do appreciate corporate's attempt to make things right, but unfortunately, after giving Cooper's Hawk another chance and having an even worse experience, it's difficult to imagine returning again.

I've purchased several wonderful wines from Zetos in the past. But after the interaction I had with…read morethe owner last night, I will NEVER purchase from this business again. Myself and 2 colleagues were on our way to an evening event at a hotel in downtown Greensboro. I was not familiar with the location of the hotel and took a wrong turn down a dead end street so I pulled into the Zeto parking lot to turn around , confirm the hotel address and reset my GPS. It was closing time for Zeto so the owner was locking up the door at the same time. She sees me pull in and starts gesturing wildly to get out of her parking lot, then (before I can even put my car into drive) she jumps in her car and drives straight at my car while flashing her lights and boxing me in. I had to back up and drive around her car (which I immediately did) while she continued to wave her hands and point at the exit. Completely rude and uncalled for as we'd literally been in the parking lot for less than 2 minutes as I reset the GPS address and had no intention of parking there. I do understand that her parking lot is surrounded by apartments and she may have had a problem with people parking there in the past but this was very bizarre behavior for a business owner that should care about the community and act professionally. The unfortunate part is all 3 of us in the car were regular, frequent customers and enjoyed her store. After her over-the-top rudeness, we all agreed we'd never step foot in Zeto again. She lost 3 customers due to her behavior! We won't support businesses that treat others so poorly. I hope she will, in the future, take a breath and assess the situation before acting so inappropriately toward people.

I visited Zeto close to their closing time and was immediately greeted by Sue, welcoming me in to the shop. After sharing I hoped to just browse around and then told her what I planned to have for dinner, I was given a tour of the store while also highlighting a few bottles that would pair well. Sue also shared a really cool story about the bottle of sparkling wine that I ended up purchasing, not only because I was excited to savor it but also because knowing a bit about its history made it that much more alluring. And it paired perfectly with my fried chicken! If you're really into wine, plan to drop by when you have time to explore - and get lost in their curated selection. If you're dropping by to grab a bottle for dinner or a party, ask Sue for a recommendation - she knows her stuff! Though I'm sure everyone there does :) I also grabbed a bag of the truffle chips they had in stock, which were also delish! They also carry this chip brand in an Iberico ham flavor, which I'll have to try next time. I'll follow-up with more on their specialty foods after I've tried a few more...
