After years of serving the Greensboro community with exceptional food and warm hospitality, Kau is entering a new chapter under the new ownership of Joe and Lee Staehly, and the leadership of General Manager David Lynch. With more than 30 years of experience in hospitality, including senior leadership roles at Chef Geoff’s in Washington, D.C., Lynch brings a dynamic and deliberate vision for Kau’s next evolution.
“We want to be a premier destination restaurant in the Triad,” Lynch said. “Kau is uniquely positioned within the artistic community of Revolution Mill, and we’re leaning into that cool, creative energy with vibrant food, dynamic events, and a welcoming space for everyone.”
Kau’s refreshed direction will debut several exciting changes:
Extended Hours: Starting June 13th, the restaurant will stay open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays for dinner service, and brunch, a longtime community favorite, returns 11am-4pm in late June.
Evolving Menu: Guests can look forward to a reimagined menu that brings back Kau’s signature dishes, introduces seasonal specials, and highlights new items like the showstopping tomahawk steak.

Private Dining & Events: With spaces ranging from intimate gatherings for 14 to full mezzanine rentals for up to 150 guests, Kau offers one of the Triad’s most flexible private event venues. The expansive deck patio, complete with a dedicated bar, accommodates up to 200 guests and is available for tented events.

Kau is more than a restaurant—it’s a cornerstone of the community. Co-owner Joe Staehly puts it simply:
“Kau is where stories are shared, flavors spark connection, and every guest feels like family. We’re proud to build on its legacy with great food, great people, and a deep respect for what Kau means to Greensboro.”
The relaunch also introduces a reinvigorated beverage program, with a spotlight on Nitro-infused drinks, seasonally inspired cocktails, North Carolina craft beers, and small-batch selections from local distilleries.
Kau’s kitchen is led by Culinary Manager and longtime sous chef Chris Arrington, who has been with the restaurant since its inception. “We’re going back to our roots,” said Arrington. “Bold flavors, handcrafted quality, and food that brings people together.”
Located in the historic Revolution Mill development, Kau offers indoor dining, a spacious deck patio, a curated butcher shop, and one of the best outdoor bars in the Triad. As part of the Pepper Moon family of venues and restaurants, Kau continues to serve as a pillar of the local dining scene.
