    While this place is gorgeous & the food is good, the service was lacking. There were only 3 cocktails on the brunch menu (besides the mimosas and bloody mary’s), but my server couldn’t answer questions about the two I wanted to know more about. I had already checked the drink menu and was impressed with the variety, but we were not offered a separate drink list from the limited brunch menu. A runner delivered our food, but the server didn’t check on our us until we were halfway through it (to offer salt & pepper). The table we was sat at was very close to another so it felt very invasive. For a place so highly rated, I expected better.

    A bit inhospitable and chintzy. We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation and despite having a reservation, only 2 in our party of 4 were going to be allowed to get a drink at the bar. Thankfully, we had friends who let us join them at a table outside so we were allowed past the "velvet chord" to go to the bar. At the bar, we waited 10 minutes or more for anyone to pay attention to us and when my husband ordered a dirty martini with 3 olives, we were informed that their was a price PER OLIVE-Blue Cheese olives are worth it, so he spent the 75 cents! Just a strange way to make margin. Dinner was delicious...but it felt like the servers attentiveness was more about turning the table quickly to close down than an earnest desire to provide a great (pretty expensive) experience.

    What a wonderful evening it was, sitting outside on the patio and enjoying great cocktails and delicious food. This is one of my favorite restaurants for overall experience... not the cheapest and for us, maybe more for special occasions. But at the top of my list for options for restaurants in downtown Winston Salem.

    Service was outstanding. Ryan and Ray were on top of their game. Food was outstanding. Shrimp cocktail was great with jalapeños and French onion soup was the best I have ever had. Steak au poivre was delicious. Drinks and wine were delicious. Highly recommend.

    The food was very good. I had the duck with blackberry demi-glace which was truly delicious although it would have been nice if prepared with the skin crisped up. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and very timely. Prices are fairly high but in line with the quality of food and service. They helped make our double birthday celebration a good one and I wouldn't hesitate to return when in the area.

    The wine selection (Sancerre) impeccable. The bar and jazz background heightens the mood. The service in the Katharine excellent. The most delicious arugula salad I have ever experienced. My husband’s steak au louvre was so tasty and rich. The trout, however, was not exciting. I had to dredge my plate to discover any buerre blanc and the trout was dry. The crème brûlée was outstanding, rich and creamy with the delicately toasted sugar top. The best ever. The overall meal was delightful and the Katharine an incredibly pleasant experience. The mussels were also delicious and reminded me of my experience in Belgium!

    Katherine’s is located in a hotel so it has a lovely bar area looking out on the street for hotel guests and those passing by who are drawn in by the bar area. The restaurant is behind the bar and has an open kitchen concept. It is not a large restaurant and tables are rather close to maximize seating capacity so it’s not quiet enough for intimate conversations. When you add a couple tables of 10 or 12 people in town for a meeting, things get even louder. All this is offset by the great service and excellent food. The wait staff is attentive but not overbearing and there are two people to serve each table so if you need something, it’s easy to get the attention of one of them. My husband’s salmon was done to perfection and my duck was perfect as well. Presentation was attractive and the flavors of the accompanying food on the plate complemented the primary food. Since this restaurant is located in a hotel that often hosts meetings, the prices are a bit higher than most independent restaurants in town. Nevertheless, it is a lovely dining experience and while perhaps a bit pricey for once a week dining, it is perfect for special occasions and entertaining out of town guests. They offer complimentary valet parking for restaurant guests which is a huge plus in downtown where parking is limited. Reservations require a credit card before finalizing them but that is somewhat understandable given the size of the restaurant and the demand for seating most evenings. If you plan a business trip to Winston-Salem or live near and have a special occasion, I recommend Katherine’s. It was our first trip but it will not be our last.

    My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. We had fun and got dressed up but there was no dress code. The food was amazing! The server was really attentive and gave us excellent recommendations. They even gave us a dessert on the house, since it was our anniversary. This was our first time but will definitely be returning. It was an amazing place and experience.

    Absolutely incredible. I had requested added amenities because it was my wife and my 9th wedding anniversary. The staff met and exceeded our expectations. Not only did they immediately greet me with a, “Happy Anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter,” but, they also provided us with 2 glasses of complimentary champagne and a complimentary desert for the both of us. They made us feel so special and loved. This was an absolutely amazing experience. The food is worth the price. The drinks are worth the price. I cannot wait until our 10th anniversary next year. We WILL be back. 10/10 Highly Recommend
