Best Bistros in Kernersville

Fun and tasty new yers day brunch would for sure do it again

This was our first visit to Rayson Winery, and it definitely will not be our last. Our food was incredibly delicious (mushroom raviolis with short rib and Coq au vin), service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant atmosphere was cozy, yet luxurious. Staff let us sample a couple of wines before we decided on what we would order with dinner. We go back and forth on Hwy 40 between central NC and western NC quite a bit, and now have a great spot to stop for lunch or dinner, and have a glass of wine. Besides the outstanding food (you can actually see them cook your food from the window in the dining area), we were really impressed with the wine...no knock against the prior owners, but when it was Raylen Winery, we went once, didn't buy any wine and never went back. But under new ownership and under the Rayson name, the wine is outstanding. After our late lunch/early dinner, we did a wine tasting, where Levi gave an excellent job balancing multiple wine tasting parties while explaining the wines and answering lots of questions. We are red wine lovers, and purchased 3 bottles, but also a bottle of Riesling. I definitely encourage anyone to get a wine tasting before or after their meal. Thanks Rayson, we look forward to our next visit!

A lovely space. Food was good, but not congruent with the price. However, I would be interested in trying again. We came in having high expectations based on reputation and friends in the community who have touted the freshness of ingredients and spotting the chef at our local farmers market. We ordered the creole stew, chicken thighs + cabbage, steak, salmon, and macaroni and cheese. Good flavors, interesting combinations, just not stellar like we were expecting. Ordered the khalua martini and a gin+honey+lemon cocktail. These were both delicious, not great presentation though. Made a specific request with seating and they placed us (4) in a cramped corner between two tables. We promptly moved to another. Server was kind and appeared sparsely which is what we preferred. We will come back and try again.

We were visiting Winston Salem and checked out Sage and Salt Bistro after reading reviews on Open Table. Our dinners were delicious (particularly the tuna tower, salmon and the lamb). We loved the quiet small aspect of the restaurant and will definitely come back when we are in town again. The Uber driver did have trouble finding the front of the restaurant (it is little confusing) and also there seem to be two different Sage and Salt restaurants - one is more of a large bar with food and music and the other located next door is the small restaurant.

This restaurant is a gem. The food we ordered was very flavorful and perfectly prepared. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the decor and ambience. It was a perfect evening.
