Our server, Tom Phillips was absolutely amazing! He provided great food recommendations and great conversation - not too much or a long conversation, but perfect and very enjoyable, Tom suggested the Jambalaya and the Southern Cassoulet along with the appetizer of Fried Green tomatoes. All were Excellent! A great evening, excellent food and outstanding food!

As always, Printworks was wonderful! When we realized that we were going to have 8 y .o. granddaughter with us , I called to add a 5 th person. It was Christmas Eve, they added a chair at the end of our booth. They were really busy but they made it work for us. Our wait staff was professional, attentive and everyone was so very nice. The food and drinks for all, again were excellent! Thank you , Printworks , for making it work for us! You all are awesome!

The Green Valley Grill is just wonderful! We stopped by on our way back to Durham after visiting the Christmas light show at Kersey Valley Farms. I had been wanting to take my husband there after eating lunch with friends on a Greensboro day trip. The food did not disappoint, and the cocktails were some of the best we've ever had. We enjoyed a selection of small plates, and the crab-spinach dip was especially good, with the lovely sharp cheese balancing the slightly sweet crab and fresh spinach. The only hitch is that it was VERY BUSY when we arrived, and we were seated in a remote corner of the bar instead of the main dining room, despite having reservations. No biggie, I've worked in the food industry, so I get it. Our server overlooked us for about 15 minutes, and we got pretty hungry. So, my husband spoke briefly to the GM about getting some food, and then they overwhelmed us with attention and gave us one of the small plates at no charge. This is how you turn customers into loyal patrons. We would drive to Greensboro just to have dinner here -- it's that good!

Claire, our server, was lovely and took excellent care of our party of 7. We chose a variety of teas and treats, and she presented and explained each with care. Everything was delicious. What a wonderful holiday offering!

As always the food and service were amazing! Kim and her staff are good people!
