A word from Noble's Grille

The elegant open design of Noble's Grille was inspired by the restaurants of Napa Valley, where Chef Noble was first inspired to follow his dream and become a gourmet. A delicious French-Mediterranean menu features clean, light cuisine carefully cooked over a wood-fired oven, grill and rotisserie… to bring out its natural flavors. That way, you can savor the taste of the food, no overly heavy sauces and crusts.Continued

Diner Reviews

"Visited Noble's for a birthday and it was a nice meal. Trout was excellent. Oyster salad is the original and still the best over other restaurants that have tried to copy it. Crab cake was good mix of crab and not too much bread crumbs. Desserts were excellent with the flour less chocolate torte paired with a peanut butter ice cream that just the right amount to share. We did have to flag down our server a few too many times. If you can afford the bill and enjoy an open seating where you can hear most of what's going on at the next table, Noble's remains one of the best restaurants in W-S."

"Our dinner at Noble's Grill was a very nice experience. The food was delicious and the wait staff did a fabulous job. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as we were choosing our meal. An overall wonderful experience."

"We have been visiting our daughter at Wake for the last two years and this was simply the best restaurant that we've been to in Winston-Salem. The location in a big office complex should not turn you off. The room is large but inviting. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The salads were among the best that we've had anywhere. (And yes, we are food snobs). The chicken was excellent as was the special pasta with shrimp. The white pizza could have used a bit more cheese however, The wine list was excellent and reasonably priced. The desserts were excellent except that there were too many to choose from! We will be back!"

"All the food was excellent . We had rib ravioli, salmon, filet, calamari, duck and risotto, scallops, salads, and bread pudding. It was all prepared perfectly and served professionally. Service was good but waitress did not manage the wine service very well. The wine selection was very good. Staff and management were friendly and attentive."

"I went to Noble's for the first time for my birthday. It was a very good experience. However, I was disappointed that they did not check me through Open Table. I have used Open Table many times and have never had that experience. Thanks to Open Table for making the correction."

"We have had two dinners and a brunch at The Green Pig. Brunch was unremarkable in all ways, but if you love brunch, give it a try. The first dinner was enjoyed by 2 out of 3 people, the server had an attitude with me (the reviewer). Last night's dinner was fabulous..three fish dinners and a meat dinner and no one was complaining! The noise level is not conducive for an intimate dinner with meaningful conversation, but all in all we had a good time."

"Celebrated our 30th anniversary there. The coconut cake was the best we have ever had in our lives, I highly recommend it!"

"Had always heard about Nobles but had never been there. It was worth the wait. This was for our 20th anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Service and food was excellent!"

"A little noisy on the Friday that we went, but terrific wine, great salad with blood oranges, very good scallops appetizer. Main courses - baked halibut with seafood risotto was good, but not great - flavors a little bland, fish a little dry; duck breast with white bean ragu was amazing. Caramel cake was also a stand-out winner for dessert. Coconut cake a little weak. Wine recommendations were delicious and spot-on."

"Restaurant is conveniently located off US 421 just west of downtown Winston-Salem. The restaurant is located in what most consider an office location, so you may overlook it at first. Overall interior is good, but very open. There are tables and booths (but packed in), so I wouldn't consider this a place for a private/romantic dinner as it can get noisy given the fact it is very open. We ordered the Talbot Pinot Noir, which was a nice red wine. For a starter, we had the fried calamari. It was perfectly fried and delicious. For the main course, I had the sea bass which was nicely cooked and tasty. For dessert, it was the mouth watering berry cobbler. The waitress was most attentive, so outstanding service."

"Requested a table off to the side to allow for a little more of a private setting. They had this set up when we arrived and it was exactly what we needed. Excellent food and service as always. Highly recommend."

"I absolutely love this resturant any time me and the SO want to spend quality time over a great bottle of wine we always choose Nobles. We had the Conundrum Wine by Opus and it was a decently priced alternative to the normal Opus One wines. And we LOVED IT. It was absolutely delicious. I also absolutely love the caramel cake. It is heavenly please do not ever stop making this!"

"I've eaten at Noble's several times, all for business dinners. The food is good. Service is attentive without being overpowering. If you are there to talk, ask for a table in the back. The front of the restaurant can get very noisy, especially if you are anywhere near the bar. Overall, a good pick."

"The service is just great here. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The appetizers we had we superb and I highly reccomendarions the pork rinds with beer cheese. Yep. Pork rinds. I'll admit that the prices are a bit high especially for steaks that are certified Angus Beef and not Prime cuts but they were all cooled perfectly. There are any choices on the menu and almost nothing that you would make at home. Had a great time."

"Food was good, but the waitress was overworked and hence we had to wait long periods of time for our orders. Tables too cramped and the noise too loud."

"Been dining here for the last 8 years and the taste and quality remains consistent and always very good. The oyster salad is a staple."

"This is certainly some of the best dining in Winston-Salem. The service was so attentive and hospitable. Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 3/3/2014
"After being seated it took 20 minutes before a waitress arrived. Profusely apologetic she reported a mistake was made "up front" about who was to cover our table. From then on the service was pretty good and they made an unsolicited offer of free desserts as an apology, a nice gesture. The food was very well prepared and tasty. The place was very crowded and noisy, so much so that it was almost impossible to have a conversation table for the two of us. The decor was reasonably attractive but surfaces were hard and did little to reduce the noise level Prices were on the high side so the value for the quality of the dining experience for a quiet, elegant special dinner was not worth it."

"The most overpriced overrated self serving restaurant in the triad. Brazen enough to serve "NC flounder" in February, a fresher piece of fish could have been found down the street at Arby's. The best part of the meal was the charcuterie and wine that were produced elsewhere. The pulse of the restaurant stunk of snobby 50 somethings in blazers too pleased with themselves to realize the food is mediocre. What a joke."

"Enjoyed my first dinner experience at nobles! I had been for bar service before. The food was excellent as was the service! It's higher end price wise but not unreasonable. Great place for a date but I'd recommend making reservations. Two thumbs way up!"

"We were seated at a wonderful table on the permitter of the restaurant nestled into a divider in the banquet....wonderful place to enjoy a quiet lunch. And, the food was excellent along with the service!"

"We had our annual Christmas dinner with our close friends. It was a wonderful evening, the food, wine and service were excellent making a truly memorable evening. Our friends travel a great deal and appreciate a well prepared meal. Nobles did not disappoint. Definately consider Nobles for a special event. The jazz duo made for a wonderful atmosphere"

"Last Thursday evening, the place was nearly full with one of the more exuberant crowds I've seen lately. Noble's impressed me as a place to go to have fun. Not a place for a serious conversation -- at least, not that evening. Usually, I prefer quiet restaurants, but the lively noise that evening made me cheerful. The server, Kadie (as she spells it), was delightfully attentive, but unobtrusive. She spotted my nearly-empty drink from about 20 feet away, and immediately asked if I wanted a refill. The fresh drink was on the table before I finished the first one. That's a rare occurrence in Winston-Salem. The rib-eye, I could cut with a fork. My guest's lamb was pronounced superb. The fingerling potatoes were the best I've ever eaten."

"This place is by far the best restaurant in the area. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful- just wonderful!! The service is always attentive but nonintrusive and polite. The place is particularly beautiful with holiday decorations right now. I hate to mention anything negative and only do so to show how well it was handled- my husbands steak was overcooked and without question they swept it away apologetically and immediately brought him a cup of soup to avoid the awkwardness of everyone else eating. It quickly came back perfectly cooked and was terrific!I think they picked up our dessert as well. This place is really spectacular."

"We took our son, a Wake Forest junior, to dinner during a recent visit. We selected Noble's Grill based on Open Table reviews. Joe, our server was excellent in every way. The food was very well prepared and quite tasty. There was live music which was very nice. My only regret is not finding this local gem sooner!"

"We had been to Nobles before but felt this was our best experience so far. The food was great and tried the oyster salad for the first time. It was fabulous. We are already talking about when we might go again."

"Recently moved to North Carolina my dad was in town for business and I drove up to see him after 2 months. A friend of his recommended Noble's to him. As we sat down and looked at the menu everything seemed like it would be delicious and I wasn't wrong. After my dad tested our server about what a "sweetbread" was. And certain wines we finally ordered. The ribeye and hanger steak were cooked to perfection and timely. Just enough seasoning on the asparagus, spinach and Yukon puree. We finished dinner with the bread pudding and cappuccinos. Everything was absolutely delicious. The server was knowledgeable and polite. Overall if I wasn't 3 hours away I'd be back in a heartbeat. But if I am, I will be back."

"The appetizers were good and the dinner very nice, but when it came to the desert to top it all off, the banana cheese case and apple cheesecake was not what I would expect for the quality of the restaurant. I would definitely go back for the food, but would skip desert."
