    We really loved our first visit to Undercurrent. I say first because we'll definitely be back. The most obvious benefit is that it's a couple of blocks from the Tanger Performing Arts Center. That being said, we enjoyed every aspect of our dinner. The service was top notch. There was a variety of food options, and we really loved every bite. The tuna starter was delicious, and we had trout and salmon wish were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious!

    A wonderful meal with my wife and friends. I had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and well-seasoned. I really enjoyed their old fashion which used a house made 'spiced' simple syrup and was not overly sweet. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I look forward to enjoying another meal there again soon!

    Undercurrent is usually our go to place for special occasions. So we selected it for our husband's Birthday-which also happened to be Easter Sunday. It was not especially busy as we chose lunch/brunch time. The food was sub par and the service was very slow and unresponsive. We left with a very cold (which was how our food was served) feeling. So disappointing since this was a special birthday for my husband. We may reconsider our standard choice in the future.

    First time dining here. Our server Holly was excellent,as a matter of fact, everyone working there was wonderful! The ambiance and decor is simply beautiful! We did Easter Brunch, the Lemon Poppyseed with blueberries Waffle was to die for! We do not live in the area, our daughter attends UNCG, so we frequent the Greensboro area, and we will definitely be back! I highly recommend dining here.
