Lenoir

We traveled all the way from Wisconsin to eat at a Vivian Howard restaurant and Lenoir didn’t disappoint! As Vivian said on The Life of a Chef, southern fried catfish is the best and at Lenoir, it really was! It was also a great experience to try the pork chop with muscadine jam. I assure you, no one in Wisconsin has ever heard of this mystical fruit, but my husband and I both loved it! Our server, Fawn, was so attentive and kind, especially when they just ran out of the tomato pie, which was something we really wanted to try. I told Fawn that our dinner, which was cooked by Corry, did not fall short of our expectations! Bravo Corry and Fawn! Fawn, thank you for the signed menu. It will be displayed in my kitchen next to my Vivian Howard cookbooks. Vivian, you should be proud. Can’t wait to visit Farmer and the Chef when renovations are finally complete.

Huge island shaped bar with an innovative cocktail list. This restaurant has some to the best vegetable dishes you have ever had, but don't stop there, the huge Pork Steak/Chop and fish dishes will have coming back again.

Looooved our dinner at Lenoir this past June. We made a reservation, but ended up eating at the bar… Michael was incredibly helpful, attentive and had great suggestions… Food was fantastic as were the cocktails! The Greens & Grits were outstanding as were the Mess of Greens… the scallops and Shrimp toast were also excellent. Highly recommend.
