| "Bert's: A catchall for great food" John Batchelor GoTriad Restaurant Reviewer. "I love this place. I have actually had more food at Bert's than what is described in my reviews. That's because at some point I started going there just for pleasure. My wife remarked at the end of our last visit, "I could eat here every week." Overall rating: 4 Stars |
| Far
from the fried fish houses that barnacle the coastal towns
of the Carolinas, Bert's Seafood Grille in Greensboro
swimmingly fuels the Triad's taste for fresh, healthy, made-to-order
entrees from the sea. In fact, the only thing the restaurant
has in common with its Calabash-style counterparts is the
queuing you might have to endure to get a table. |
| Opened
in 1988 by Mary and Drew Lacklen, the upscale
seafood-casual dining concept was an attempt to cast a new
line into the Greensboro restaurant scene. |
| ``We
were looking to fill a void," says Mary, who had already helped
reel in American regional cuisine to the Piedmont by way of
the couples then High Point restaurant, Café 200. |
| relish dining: "New Bert's remains great spot for seafood in the Triad." The menu is a big one, swimming with fish of every flavor and augmented with daily specials. Bert's is a visually exciting place, both in the dining and on the plates. In addition to a fine selection by bottle and glass, diners can experiment with flights of wines, grouped tastings of related flavors. - Candide Jones, special to relish. 3 1/2 stars (out of four) |
| Winners
of the TriadStyle ``Golden Fork Award" (a
reader's survey) for Best Seafood 20 years running and ``Wine
Spectator Award of Excellence" winners twelve years in a row,
it's hard to argue with the Lacklen's formula. |
