Restaurants near Rockford Courthouse

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!

Ryan’s simply does it very well. Everything. Clearly our favorite go-to special dinner destination for many years.

Wine tasting was very well organized. The young lady was extremely knowledgeable and friendly in her presentation. Could have offered cheeses or chocolates to help distinguish between wines. Crackers were available. The wines are very good.

We had a lovely lunch celebrating our 32nd anniversary at JoLo Winery on Dec 20, 2024. The service was beyond friendly! We were given a glass of their delicious Twinkles in honor of our anniversary! We had the crab dip appetizer which is so delicious! My husband tried a lunch special, beer battered halibut which was as light as air and melt in your mouth! This came with a side of crispy French fries. I had the chicken pesto flatbread which was also very tasty! I had a glass of their Devil’s Hill wine and I highly recommend this earthy red! We love the ambience and quality of this family winery! It is even more beautiful in the warmer times of the year!
