We had a work event at 1618 and it was absolutely delightful! The menu that was prepared was perfect. The salmon was delicious and the risotto was to die for! Ivey took amazing care of us and is truly an asset to 1618. The owner came and introduced himself to our group and was extremely polite. Great experience!!! Highly recommend!!!

We went to celebrate our anniversary and sat at the bar. Morgan took care of us and made really good Old Fashioned drinks. They have a large assortment of bitters and the bartenders really know their stuff. We had the Calamari appetizer and it was crispy and served on top of beans.

This was my first visit and I must say I will definitely return. Everything was amazing, food, staff and environment. The staff throw someone's leftovers away in error and made them a fresh entree to resolve the matter. Top notch service and food! Highly recommended!

Food is Art. The plating is upscale and intentional. The servers are very attentive. The food is good. The portions are small. The sides are almost nonexistent. I believe the purpose is so you have multiple courses, appetizer, drinks, main course, dessert and are still able to sit without unbuttoning your pants. After tip, a bill for 1 is around $110.00. I ordered 2 glasses of wine, scallops appetizer ($20 for 2 scallops) and the Flounder Dish. The scallops were delicious but the flounder was underwhelming, the plating was beautiful but it lacked flavor and the asparagus was strong. However my friends loved their dishes. One said it was the best steak she had ever ate and my other friend raved about the tuna dish! This restaurant is unique. I can't think of another local restaurant similar to it in Greensboro. The closest comparison that comes to mind is Emeril Lagasse's restaurant in Las Vegas.

The hubs and I made reservations for a date night on a Friday night for a nice evening at 1618. Our daughter ended up being a 3rd wheel (home from college on the Labor Day weekend and "none of her friends were in town so she gave us the puppy dog eyes"). We called a little over an hour prior to our reservation to add a 3rd person and they were very accommodating, which was appreciated! Arrived around 7:45 and were shown right to our table. Decor is minimalistic but warm and welcoming at the same time. We ordered drinks: sauvignon blanc for me and an old fashioned for the hubs....plain water for the underaged daughter :-). The hubs really enjoyed his old fashioned and he is pretty picky about his drinks! I can't remember our server's name, but it was her very first night serving on her own, and she did a really great job being personable and attentive! For starters, we ordered the beef tartare and the calamari. Both were amazing and we ate every crumb. The calamari had red kidney beans underneath which I found interesting but delicious. Once those were done, our entrees were not out quite yet, so our server offered hot bread with butter which we happily accepted. It was delicious as well. On to the entrees. I ordered the sea bass. Due to my lobster allergy, I had been afraid that it was off limits due to the lobster tempura, but the kitchen was happy to modify the dish so that I could order it. The hubs ordered the Ahi tuna, and the daughter ordered the salmon. Everyone was more than satisfied with their entree and did not want to share!!! Bottom line: Come here and eat!! This is our third time dining here and each time has been amazing. Service, ambiance, and food are all on point. I would recommend to the most critical diner without reservation.

This place is phenomenal! Fantastic scallops as well as tuna tacos. Service from Jake was outstanding. Bourbon Vanilla Cheesecake is off the charts. I highly recommend.

Fantastic dinner for our 16th wedding anniversary. The food and service were fantastic, as always. Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious. Who would think that red beans and calamari would pair well? Ridiculously tasty! Both the sea bass and halibut had perfectly seared crusts. The complimentary key lime pie bites were the perfect size to share after devouring our meals. Great place for special occasions. Lively ambiance, lovely decor with high ceilings. Tasteful tableware. Highly recommended.

About nine years ago, he picked this restaurant for our first dinner together. We wanted to commemorate the occasion and returned to where it all started. The ambiance was as romantic as it could possibly be. The service was top notch as usual. We ordered calamari as an appetizer, I should've taken a pic but forgot to. We shared our entrees : sea bass and beef tenderloin, also enjoyed some fresh warm bread. It was a very special night. We tried the crème brûlée. We had a phenomenal dinner. Our server was very attentive and cordial. I love this restaurant!

Came here with family to celebrate my sister's birthday. I never been here before and it's been bookmarked on my Yelp for a little while. It's a very nice and chill spot. They have a bar area one side and the dining on the other. There is also outdoor seating as well. We had a reservation, and we were immediately seated upon arrival. We were served our drinks looked over the menu, and we waited. And waited. And waited. After about 10-15 minutes our server returned and asked if we would like an appetizer. Usually one is asked about appetizers after receiving drinks. He disappeared on us. We gotten the flatbread. About 20 minutes after being seated, we were given the complementary bread, butter, and oil. He placed it on the corner edge of the table and left. Did not say a single word. I didn't think it even came with the meal because it took so long. Another 10min went by and we then were notified that there was a party in the event room and we needed to hurry and place our orders. We knew what we wanted, we just didn't our server to go ahead and place them. 15min go by and our server came to check on us, we asked for another basket of bread, he said sure. We never received it. We finally gotten the flatbread. It took so long, we all forgot about it. Our server returned and notified us that our ticket was next. It took a total of 1.5hrs (no exaggeration) before we received our meals. Our reservation was at 7pm, appetizer was served around 7:45pm, we gotten our entrees at 8:34pm. Yes, I was looking at my watch. Now, I understand having to serve the event as well, but we, nor the other patrons (we saw the lack of service, and heard them talking) weren't happy with the lack of service. Thankfully our food was amazing. I gotten the seared tuna with mashed potatoes, and it was wonderful. I love how the plate was served. I also gotten the key lime pie without the coconut and it was so rich in flavor. Loved it! I sampled everyone's dish and everything was so good. The meal saved this review, because I was very unhappy with the service. I do plan to return for a better overall experience, because I'm sure the event is what caused the dissatisfaction.

This used to be my very favorite restaurant in Greensboro - 5 stars - every time. Unfortunately, the last couple times we've been here I've not been nearly as impressed. We came for our anniversary a couple weeks ago. Our appetizers were amazing! The sushi tacos are a must try! We did favor one over the other - but I can't remember which one. The crab cake was also pretty good. I'm thinking this must have been a one-off kind of thing, but my beef tenderloin dish was extremely over salted. I gave over half of my dish to hubby to eat (he agreed it was salty, but he still ate it!). He reported his lamb chops to be a bit salty too, and I took his word for it: Still, the uniqueness of the dishes, the service and ambiance are first-rate!
