Sage & Salt

It’s clear that the new owner was a previous Willow employee. He knew the challenges the location had and addressed them. Namely, the inside tables made conversation impossible, and he’s invested in some fantastic sound dampening. I have trouble hearing with just a little background noise, and I had no problem hearing every word from our group. I don’t have to sit outside exclusively anymore!

That being said, the menu is new, interesting, and varied. I had the pomodoro pasta and meatballs and it was terrific. The pasta was clearly made in-house, and the meatballs were juicy and delicious!

The service was okay, but I’m sure that will improve with time.

I’m excited to have the new restaurant in the neighborhood!

BY FAR the best restaurant in Downtown Winston-Salem, nothing else even slightly compares. The food is delicious, the wait staff is attentive and very professional, kitchen staff is remarkable, and the owners are incredibly personable and caring, and will go out of their way to make sure you have the best dining experience possible! Indoor and outdoor seating, fine selection of wines as well as a full bar and overall just a gorgeous restaurant. The atmosphere and environment feels spiritually cleansing and you’ll leave feeling very satisfied!

The food & experience and Sage & Salt Bistro was so good! The decor and atmosphere was perfect, even the music was great! I had the filet and my husband had the red snapper. Both were cooked to perfection and so tender. The beet salad was delicious and I highly recommend the crab dip as well. They have a good wine selection and the chocolate cake was amazing! The service from the from the front to the back was great. Our waitress was one step ahead of us the whole night. The owner/manager checked on us to make sure our experience was what we expected. It definitely was! Our new favorite place and we will be back again soon and often! Highly recommend!

What a wonderful place to dine. We had the crab & artichoke dip for starters it was delicious. The beet salad was amazing as well as the fillet which was cooked to perfection, it was accompanied with mashed potatoes and asparagus also delicious. Our server was friendly and very professional. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his ribeye and he is very picky about how his steaks are cooked. I think we have discovered a new favorite dining spot! Oh and I almost forgot the dessert !! The chocolate cake was to die for!

You’re gonna want to try this for yourself! We had the bruschetta and the rib appetizers. Best bruschetta I’ve ever had. Main course for me was the filet, so tender and delicious. My husband had the salmon which he devoured and we also got the pasta dish which I HIGHLY recommend. Everything was so good. Staff was attentive, dining area was clean. Just perfect in every way.
