Southern Lights BistroGreat Food and ServiceThe previous frustration concerning acoustics seems to have been eliminated with inconspicuous black tiles. Now I enjoy everything about this place.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent date night!My husband and I found ourselves "free" for the evening and decided to grab a date night. We were disappointed to find that reservations weren't available at our first choice so I decided to try Southern Lights. We had a fabulous evening!! We ate outside and had a delicious, slow-paced meal which was exactly what we were looking for. The tables are spaced out so you don't have to hear your neighbors' conversations. We will most definitely be back as this might possibly be my "new favorite restaurant" in Greensboro!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMToo salty!We've been fans of SL from the very first and have always loved their food. Unfortunately, the last two times we were there, the food was so heavily salted that we couldn't finish dinner. We hope these were just temporary blips and that the chef will be more judicious in salting the food in the future. We'll give SL another try.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a group of 10---allWe had a group of 10---all from out of town for the furniture market. Everyone was impressed with the food and service. It was a most enjoyable night and I would reccomend this restaurant to anyone. Great time!!!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMA Greensboro FavoriteSouthern Lights offers delicious food and exceptional service. While we still miss the old location, John Drees has created a beautiful setting both inside and outside for an upscale dining experience. My husband had the shrimp and grits while I enjoyed the filet. Both were prepared with obvious attention to detail in taste and presentation. The outside patio is now open and will be great for spring dining.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMYou MUST eat here!This place was EXCELLENT!! It looked like such an interesting place to take a date, when I first drove by, and it didn't let me down! The food, service, and ambiance were perfect. Our server, Michelle, had a great knowledge of the menu, and had a great attitude throughout the entire service. The manager (sorry, I don't recall your name - beautiful blonde lady, and spoke with a lovely British accent) even came by the table while my date was away from the table, to inquire how the first date was going. Matthew, kudos to you and your kitchen staff. The food was so delicious, and the menu a nice variety of dishes. I will definitely be back!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMLovely Experience All AroundMy kids and I went to Southern Lights Bistro for dinner. It's small and cozy with a fun decor. During busy times, a reservation would be a good idea. The staff was really helpful. There was a good selection of wines by the glass. The food was excellent. We will definitely go here again.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is always well prepared.Food is always well prepared. Good selection of daily specials and menu offerings change from season to season. Service attentive without being intrusive. Always one of my favorite dining experiences in Greensboro. Small portions available on week nights is added feature for those watching portion control.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and service. AtmosphereGreat food and service. Atmosphere was a little "stuffy". May try it on weekend and sit on patio3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMA bit too noisy for conversationThe food was very good as usual. Unfortunately we were seated in the semiprivate room where a birthday celebration was happening with a large group. Our party of three had some difficulty carrying on a conversation because of the noise level. We asked to be reseated in the main dining room but no table was available. Will have to remember that the next time my college roommate comes in to town and we are trying to catch up over a quiet dinner!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWas a great dining experience.Was a great dining experience.
