Taking Afternoon Tea in the Social Lobby of O.Henry Hotel is an extraordinary experience that's become a wonderful tradition. The service, ambiance, tea, scones, finger sandwiches, and treats are phenomenal and made in-house by our team of pastry chefs.

Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, and delicious tea and food (scones with clotted cream is a favorite). Always a delight to come with friends.

About the restaurant

Saint Jacques at The Burke Manor Inn is the only 4 Diamond AAA rated restaurant in the Triad. Located in the picturesque railway town of Gibsonville, we serve dinner Wednesday - Saturday and lunch Thursday - Saturday. We recommend reservations! Enjoy a glass of wine on the veranda then convene to the intimate dining room where a fine French meal is offered. The owners, Lil & Lori, previously owned Saint Jacques French Cuisine in Raleigh, which was voted one of the top 100 restaurants in the US by OpenTable diners under their ownership from 2009-2014. They have brought those same standards they applied in Raleigh for 10 years to the Inn. As of 2014 they have received the 4 Diamond AAA rate yearly.
*CC# req'd for groups over 5. Cancellation or guest reduction less than 24 hours in advance results in $100 fee

Had. Great time for our first visit to JoLo Winery. Maranda expertly guided us through the varieties of wine in the tasting. We shared good memories with her and other staff as we celebrated our youngest daughter’s upcoming birthday. Cheers!!

Five special friends celebrated an 85th birthday with a Bistro brunch today. Our table was ready and waiting, and our waitress was accommodating as we finally selected the French toast, shrimp and grits, smoked salmon Benedict, and Bistro breakfast. The relaxed atmosphere was perfect for lots of laughter and reminiscing. Topped off with complimentary profiteroles and a group photo, our brunch was just about perfect.

About the restaurant

Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.
