Eating in Greensboro

I am traveling with my wife to Greensboro in April to go furniture shopping. What are good options for food in the area? I%26#39;ve heard that BBQ is excellent in NC. What about seafood? Just looking for some good local options. Neither one of us are really into chains that much so any locals have any good places to go?

I%26#39;ll second the BISTRO SOFIA reccomendation.

VERY upscale and intimate. Enjoy!!!

I will second Bert%26#39;s Seafood, Village Tavern, and Green Valley Grill. These are all local favorites and you cannot go wrong! Greensboro has tons of great restaurants though!
