Date Night Outdoors in the Gate City

August 22, 2022

Two venerable Greensboro restaurants, the Green Valley Grill and Print Works Bistro, landed on Open Table’s recently published national Top 100 list for Best Date Night and Best Outdoor Dining.

Both eateries are locally owned by Quaintance-Weaver Restaurants and Hotels, an employee-owned business.

CEO Dennis Quaintance said it’s improbable that his hometown could land one restaurant on one of the lists, much less two on each Top 100 ranking. Still, he confessed to being “like a proud Daddy” about the news.

“With the design of the outdoor spaces, we endeavored to create ‘outdoor rooms,’ with a sense of space, yet under the stars,” Quaintance told me last week. “As for Date Night, it has always been our objective with the Green Valley Grill and the Print Works Bistro (and the hotels they live adjacent to) to create a context where romance can be turbocharged. If our guests bring some romantic energy, our intentions are to add to that with the ambiance, service and food and drink offerings. It is great affirmation that some of those intentions are coming through for our guests.”

Kudos to Dennis and crew for this well-earned national recognition.
