“Staff clearly knows what's gluten free, happily points it out on the menu and at the dipping sauce station. Dipping sauce station is super clean and appeared free of contamination, no mixing of ingredients/sauces. Vegan options are obvious on the menu, and plentiful. Service was stellar, and soooo was the food! This is is my new favorite, hands down. Show up hungry, the servings are generous.”

Herons

Herons The Umstead Hotel and Spa, 100 Woodland Pond Drive, Cary American • $$$$

“Last weekend, we spent 48 glorious hours onshore celebrating my husband’s birthday. We arrived a night early of our third party member and caught a glimpse of the tasting menu. The standout was the compassion of one of the “Hannah’s” on my palate: well, my husband chose the wine pairing and had a perfect accompaniment to each course, I simply cannot keep up. I stated that and asked that she take pity on my slow pace and compare me for somebody who cannot keep pace. Hannah gave me a perfect accompaniment to both the first three and final two courses before rising to the occasion for a perfect pairing to dessert. This set the stage for the main event and Chef Greene’s tasting menu the second night. The making of both memories and dreams- a balance of molecular and traditional. My biggest Takeaway was simply than I have had tasting menus from Miami to New York City and everywhere in between and I’ve always left hungry. You ruin an experience with takeout pizza after a tasting menu, or so I’ve been told. This was not the case on either night. The portions satisfied. Finally. On this return trip to where I was born and raised, we all left satisfied with plans to come back as soon as we possibly can.”

Nepal House 941 North Harrison Avenue, Cary Indian • $

“My husband and I travel through Cary, North Carolina, about once every two months. We always make a point to dine at another Nepales’s restaurant nearby, but it was closed on Monday this time. The front desk staff at the Hyatt hotel in Cary suggested the Nepal House so we thought we would give it a try because we really had a craving for that type of food and we have been waiting all day to arrive so that we could dine at the other Nepal restaurant. The experience at the Nepal House was exceptional! The service was wonderful, my husband had a lamb dish and I had a chicken tandoor dish, I also had a house salad, and the best thing we had was the Momo’s! Everything was exceptional, but the Momo’s were to die for, we had never had them before and they were just out of this world you can’t go without having the Momos! They have a bar and a nice selection of wines. Everything was wonderful and we can’t wait to return again soon! We highly recommend this restaurant!”

“Made a reservation here a week ahead for a special occasion and was super excited to try it out. Our reservation was for 8pm and we arrived fifteen minutes early and didn’t get sat until around 8:30-8:45 but Being that I also work in the food industry and it’s Covid times, I didn’t see it as a big deal. I do wish I had snacked before hand though! They did send edamame to our table for the inconvenience once we were finally sat though which was a super nice and unnecessary gesture. Also, the ambience is lovely and super romantic. The best sushi I have ever had. So light and flavorful. We even got some dessert and I have to say the mochi doughnuts were to die for - I wish the chocolate sauce for dipping had been dark chocolate but that’s my personal preference. The only negative thing I have to say is it is a little pricey so it won’t be a regular spot for me personally but definitely a place to check out for special events or date nights.”

As stressful as that could have been, Kathie did everything to ease our stress. She calmed this Momma's heart and executed everything to a "T". The appetizer table was not only displayed beautifully, it was YUMMY! The salad, main entrees and dessert did not disappoint. But most of all, the staff was most kind and extremely professional.

“Miso Ramen bar is undeniably delicious, and my son considers it his favorite ramen spot. Situated conveniently near Downtown Raleigh, the restaurant offers ample parking. I recommend arriving a bit early as there may be a short wait (reservations are not accepted), but there is bar seating available. Upon arrival, you can add your name to the waitlist, which is a nice touch. The restaurant is consistently busy, yet always well-maintained with clean facilities. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and go the extra mile to ensure a welcoming experience. Whether dining with friends or adults, everyone can find something appetizing on the menu. Here is what we order on our most recent visit: Karage Wings $12 Pork Belly Buns (2) $9 Kids Miso Ramen with Chicken and Eggs Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl $12 The food was delicious overall, and I particularly enjoyed the wings and the pork belly bun. A tip to keep in mind: it's best to finish the wings while you're at the restaurant. If you have any leftovers and take them home, they don't reheat well.”

We had a few new arrivals seated before us by just walking in at the right time. It was a little expensive and also none of the salt shakers worked properly.

This is definitely NOT a typical tex-mex place. The chef has trained in Mexico, and the dishes are all superbly prepared. We go to Mexico frequently, and the tortilla soup was among the very best we've ever tasted. The mole enchiladas were superbly rich and flavorful. The flan's description is far too modest. They left out the black raspberry, blueberries, mint garnish and orange/brown sugar glaze. Wow! Service was attentive and helpful. Not a fancy place, but a place to return to again, and again.

“My husband and I travel through Cary, North Carolina, about once every two months. We always make a point to dine at another Nepales’s restaurant nearby, but it was closed on Monday this time. The front desk staff at the Hyatt hotel in Cary suggested the Nepal House so we thought we would give it a try because we really had a craving for that type of food and we have been waiting all day to arrive so that we could dine at the other Nepal restaurant. The experience at the Nepal House was exceptional! The service was wonderful, my husband had a lamb dish and I had a chicken tandoor dish, I also had a house salad, and the best thing we had was the Momo’s! Everything was exceptional, but the Momo’s were to die for, we had never had them before and they were just out of this world you can’t go without having the Momos! They have a bar and a nice selection of wines. Everything was wonderful and we can’t wait to return again soon! We highly recommend this restaurant!”

The fries were a lot better, they were just the right amount of crispiness, and they had a good amount of salt, if you’re starving, its a good and suprisingly clean place to go!”

Rigo’s Pizzeria 1260 Northwest Maynard Road, Cary Pizza • $

“The pizza is delicious and coming from NJ, I know good pizza. I grew up eating NY style pizza and the pizza here is a very close second and a nice small friendly place to take your family for a quick bite to eat during the week when you can’t decide what to cook at home.”

“The food was great, service once seated was quick, and the waitress was so nice. I got avocado toast, but the side of grits and the biscuit with apple butter were the stars of the show. The wait was pretty long and there wasn't really anywhere to keep place in line except outside and our names weren't taken down. We had a few new arrivals seated before us by just walking in at the right time. It was a little expensive and also none of the salt shakers worked properly. I would say get what they are known for ( grits and biscuits ) and don't stray too far from the beaten path and you'll have a great experience!”

Mezcalito Cary 1102 Walnut St, Cary Mexican • $$

“First time here was recently to celebrate a family member's birthday, the food was very good and the service and atmosphere was outstanding, the menu is quite extensive and has lots of offerings, something for everybody! The portion sizes are huge, I ordered the El Mas Chingon, it's an 8oz Ribeye, grilled shrimp, 2 chicken enchiladas, rice, refried beans. It was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend! If you're looking for a great place to celebrate a family event or just a very good Mexican meal, give Mezcalito a try!”

MilkShake Factory Cary 161 E Chatham St, Cary Ice Cream Shop

“Great place to stop when walking around Downtown Cary. Parking is of course somewhat difficult to find at times - there are spaces behind the building, where from there you can just walk around.

Taste has always been amazing every time I have been. Service is friendly, and the wait is not long. Probably my favorite milkshake spot in all of NC.”

The Noodle Smith 1401 Southeast Maynard Road Ste j, Cary Ramen • $

“I enjoyed the deep chicken broth flavor and the chewiness from the handmade noodles. While people are generally impressed by tonkatsu ramen, I think it’s hard to make a good chicken broth, and the noodle smith does it so well. Chicken kaarage is also worth getting too!”

“Creative cocktails, a beautiful space, and interesting as well as tasty food. Liked the cocktail menu, which included interesting drinks I’ve not seen anywhere else. Food was fantastic. Service was very good, where he explained the menu well. The menu is overly complicated though, and kinda long. Reserve is almost a fine dining experience, but not quite there yet.”

Bubbakoo's Burritos 337 Sembler Lane, Cary Mexican • $

“TLDR: Good food, staff was nice, try it.

Its been a long time since I've had a California burrito. Used to get them almost every morning over on Camp Pendleton after PT. The burrito here was solid. Its definitely not the breakfast burrito style I was used to, but the food is solid. Staff was nice the entire time. Wife liked her food.
Only thing ill nip at, if theyre gonna turn food out like that, they should upgrade the interior seating. Would bring the whole experience together better.

9.9/10 Good Grub”
