About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
From chef, cookbook author and PBS star, Vivian Howard, LENOIR reminds people that the South is a nuanced place with a storied history and disparate terrain that shapes us as well as our food traditions. Here we cook to perpetuate, honor and evolve the cuisine of the rural, agricultural South, and we back it up with hospitality that buys into the idea that food with a story tastes better. Named for Vivian’s home county in eastern North Carolina, LENOIR exalts the pillars of Southern hospitality and leaves people feeling like they are guests in our home rather than patrons in our restaurant.

    Food and drinks were yummy! Service was sub par. There are Too many things to name that were missed in service. Basically they need to retrain the hostess and wait staff to make sure they know the purpose of their job is to create a pleasant dining experience for the guests. We had to ask multiple times for many things that are standard in being a server or hostess. Not expecting anything great in terms of service. Just wanted a par level. Like basic. The service was very amateur. The cuisine was amazing ! I will order To-go before living thru that again. My 12 year old could have done a better job at the hostess stand and as a server. They were nice people but not experienced or didn’t care or not trained properly.

    We celebrated our 25th anniversary at Lenoir and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible and exactly what we hoped for. Every dish was amazing and the s’mores dessert was delicious. Our server Callie went above and beyond for us and treated us like we were her only customers. We will definitely be back.

    Great ambiance for a fun evening with friends in the kind of place that you can linger over drinks or dessert.
