Old Salem Tavern
736 S. Main St. (in Old Salem).
Phone: 748-8585. $$$. ABC. S/NS.
The Moravians of the early 1800s apparently ate more than sugar cake and the world's thinnest cookies … take pumpkin and sunflower-seed crusted salmon, for example, served by wait staff in period costume. Don't miss the homemade lemon ice cream.

Liberty Oak
100-D W. Washington St., Greensboro
Phone: 273-7057. $$-$$$. ABC. S/NS.
(out of five). Reviewed June 15, 2006.
A dream of a neighborhood restaurant, with soulful blue-plate specials and creative comfort food. I love the duck-liver pate with apricot chutney, the salad Nicoise and scallops seared in curry oil. The soups are usually good.
11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Friday; noon to 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
Undercurrent Restaurant

Blue Ridge Ice Creams
135 S. Stratford Road.
Phone: 724-5454. $. NS.
It's hard to resist locally-owned Blue Ridge's fun flavors, which extend to their gelato case (honey-lavender and strawberry balsamic among them). My favorites? The chocolate truffle is deep and not too sweet, and lemon yogurt-flavored gelato is zippy.
1 p.m.-9 p.m. Sunday; 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday;11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Thai Sawatdee
2281 Cloverdale Ave. (inside Harris Teeter).
Phone: 725-1332. $-$$. NS.
Reviewed Oct. 16, 2008.
Pick up some panang curry and ground-chicken lettuce wraps with your groceries. This tiny Thai restaurant is short on atmosphere, but long on taste. Very good tom kha. Avoid the pad Thai, though.
11 a.m. -10 p.m. every day.
Noble's Grille
380 Knollwood Street.
Phone: 777-8477. $$$-$$$$. NS.
This Winston-Salem mainstay was renovated in the spring of 2008 and now breaks dishes down into small plates. That's not always a cheap option, but now you can skip meat, vegetables or carbs altogether. There is still a small traditional menu.
11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5:30-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5:30-11 p.m. Friday; 5:30-11 p.m. Saturday.
Milner's American Southern

Charleston-inspired upscale Southern -- crab cakes, baked pimento cheese, Frogmore stew, pork tenderloin crusted with Moravian spice cookies, sweet-potato bread pudding, and on and on.
