Good Downtown Greensboro Restaurant Recommendations?

[Scoopbth]

Hello everyone!

I am a frequent reader of UP, I mainly follow the Charlotte threads, due to the fact that I will be moving there in a couple of months to start my career. I currently live in Raleigh finishing up my Masters degree at NC State. I am going to be meeting a friend for dinner in Greensboro this coming Monday and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of good restaurants downtown. I have looked through some of the threads here on UP and it looks like there is a lot of great things going on in Greensboro and am looking forward to visiting!

What kind of food are you looking for? Greensboro's downtown has a multitude of options, and are very reasonably priced.

http://www.downtowngreensboro.org/citylight/dining DGI has a great guide.

Solaris has wonderful tapas and a great vibe

Cafe Europa is casual and has a good variety on their menu

Ganache, known for being a bakery, has a rather extensive menu as well (and on nice nights, rooftop dining)

Pizzeria L'Italiano has some of the best pizza in the Triad

Zaytoon is a great place that has local & organic foods, Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern cuisine, but I think they're only open for lunch

Green Burro has adventurous Mexican food

Those are some of my fav's, but check out the list on DGI's website, it's pretty comprehensive

DigitalSky has some good picks, and is right; it really depends what you're after. I'd add Liberty Oak to the list, along with Riva's for italian, and Grey's for pub fare.

I agree with above, Riva's is great for food quality...though the ambiance is (in the great Greensboro tradition) quite simple.

I wonder what scoop thought of Greensboro...

I think the recommendation's everyone has given so far are great choices. I would add Undercurrent and Table 16. Fincastles is good for casual diner food.
