My go-to is the filet, and it never disappoints. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, every single time. This visit I also shared the cauliflower appetizer with a coworker and it was a great call. Delicious from start to finish. But honestly? Even the food takes a back seat to Laurie at the bar. She's the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular the second you sit down, and she's a big reason I always make time for this place. Even if you're just passing through downtown, pop in for a drink and say hi... it's worth it. It's easy to write off hotel restaurants, but please don't write this one off. Butcher & Bull earns every visit.

They also had shrimp, which was a new one for me at a Brazilian steakhouse. The lamb sirloin was fantastic! My husband would say that the lamb chops were probably his favorite but everything was spectacular! Our dinner came with dessert--I opted for the chocolate lava cake. It was delicious and the ice cream added to it. We were sat near the food bars so we got to enjoy seeing the meat come out of the kitchen and go around the dining room. They also had some other great options like fried cheese with honey and some ravioli. The garlic bread is absolutely life changing!

This is in the heart of downtown Winston so parking is pretty limited but there are street spots and garages nearby. Service was good, prompt and friendly. We enjoyed a variety of cocktails and wines for beverages. Entree orders included steaks/filets, gnocchi and the fried chicken. The courses were paced nicely, giving us time to savor each bite and engage in great conversation. I really liked the Caesar salad with the fried artichoke and my filet was cooked medium as requested. The Mac and cheese side was delicious too, thick cheesy and super satisfying. I had some of my friends charred Brussels sprouts too and those were tasty as well. All in all, we were all happy with this pick! We cleared our main plates and sadly did not have room for dessert- next time! Gratuity is included (I assume it starts at parties of 6 or more). @azfitfoodfun

A very lovely evening at Jeffrey Adams on Fourth. Arrived just in time for our reservation and they…read moreimmediately seated us. A friendly server brought us water and we were able to order drinks and appetizers. The restaurant on the ground floor was not large but it was very nice looking and modern. There is an upstairs that we didn't see. The waiting area is large which is nice because I imagine at time there is a wait. It is an upscale place though you saw a variety in patrons there. Anyway, we ordered the pot roast nachos and a cup of the soup du jour which came very quickly. Both were excellent and a great start to the meal. Someone decided to bring us bread that we didn't order which was nice. It was probably a good thing the server spilled the water at our table and gave us the bread for free since we didn't order it. again, anyway, the entrees came and they looked good. Seafood risotto was cooked well, not over done. And there was a lot of it. The fried chicken was also nicely cooked. Both were under seasoned and needed salt which is not my favorite when in a restaurant such as this. However, it is also understandable. Once we were done, our server informed us that they were treating us to dessert (because it was our anniversary) and brought us their warm brown with ice cream. It was delicious. We scraped the plate clean. It was a lovely meal and lovely evening.

But hope you have Charity if you sit at the bar. She is wonderful. Personality, professionalism and she knows how to take care of her guests. Hungry Palate is great but the staff makes this place, especially Charity!

I get that its busy on Wednesdays but I was treated like that I was invisible despite the fact that I was sitting in the middle of the bar directly in front of a touchscreen monitor. Not that I like attention (as a matter of fact, I loathe it) but the server seemed like she was catering to everyone except for me...especially the crowd who showed up way after I sat down and the guy who was next to my right who ask for the remote twice in which she gave to him in a flash. After waiting several minutes (as in 20+) just to get a drink, I just said forget it and got a to-go box. I could use stronger and harsher words to describe my visit but I'm opting not to.

Truffle fries, not really French but a must , usually nice and it when I get them here but today they were just a bit sad as it seemed they had been sitting for a bit.

The broth so flavorful . Steaming hot on this one . The escargot. Yes another must here. Always decadent . Buttery and garlicky . Awesome. The mushroom risotto. Yes I know not french but they do it so well here. Rich and creamy and perfectly cooked where it's not mushy, different kinds of mushrooms and I love they add peas. Perfect comfort food. Service was excellent and with a smile. Ambiance always classy and we watched a little World Cup too. Katherine is my goto for classic food and a great bar. One of the best in Winston.

Their escargot is great and I'd highly recommend it if you're open to it, and their mussels appetizer is absolutely bursting with flavor. Personally I'd recommend asking for a few extra pieces of bread with it. It's a higher end restaurant and I feel because of its association with the hotel it tends to skew a slightly more professional/business clientele and vibe but overall I think you get a pretty decent mix of people here. On my most recent visit I was told their valet service is for restaurant customers too which is pretty awesome, so if you come down when there's a huge concert going on at the park or something you don't have to walk 20 minutes to and from your parking spot. Overall I'd highly recommend it as a default "can't go wrong" pick for a nice night out.
