Service could not have been better, every staff person welcomed us and made sure we had a great experience. The food was excellent and exceeded expectations. Restaurant was loud and tables are pretty close together.

I sat at the bar and ordered a couple of appetizers but the bread was the true winner. Food was well balance but the pork belly was alittle over cooked and dry but tasty.

The food I personally had was mediocre. Brussels seemed a little under done, but great flavor. The Brie was burnt visibly and you tasted black char under the rasp preserves. The firecracker shrimp was a bit overdone/tough, but good sauce on them once you got past that. The white bean and beef soup had great flavor, but bean heavy and slightly undercooked beans as well. Maybe just an off evening and just those dishes? My friends grouper special she loved. Others had risotto, tuna and Burrata with no complaints or special acknowledgements so that’s fine.
Part of my rating is due to the inability for anyone at my table to hear one another in the booth due to the large party being so incredibly loud in the dining room. We were a group of 6 and couldn’t move outside in the humidity and drizzle, nor the bar side. The smaller groups did move to the bar area to get away. We didn’t stay for planned dessert due to the incredibly loud room. I do realize the staff can do little about this if the party themselves is ignorant to their disturbance. But when asking about my experience, it’s in there.
The service was very good. The speed of food delivery and interaction with staff was all great. The drinks were good and everyone attentive. Our server understood our pain and apologized at the end. We cut the evening short ultimately and that stinks.

Went here during tge art show. Very limited menu items. Good, not earth shattering roastbeef sandwich. Nice place, but service was lacking as other servers had to fill our drinks and tend to our bill.

We visited Academy Street Bistro for our anniversary and were not disappointed. The Pandemic ruined so many restaurants that they lost the ability to cook. This certainly is not the case with ASB. We ordered pork belly, duck breast, oysters, and a fish special. The chefs created excellent dishes with plays on sweetness and tartness, texture, and looks, executed well - a wonderful experience. Affogato, however, fell short of expectations and was as far away from our affogato in Italy as possible.

Food was ok but not worth the price. 4 scallops the size of 50 cent piece $32 ,thin piece of chicken with some grits $29, salads way over priced.

Where to start. First Ben the waiter is awesome(also I forget girls name really nice her boyfriend works there also). The app grilled Brie to perfection melted perfect not too much great spreading, add in the roasted nut, wow! I had the steak, grilled to perfection with perfect mash and broccoli rabe. The dessert bourbon pecan chocolate cheesecake…..with my cappuccino again perfection! One of our best restaurant experiences in a long time. Add in the new awesome park for a little walk. Cary downtown academy street is the new place to be!

First timers. Great experience. Our server Andrea is Top Shelf. Fun and personable. The food is amazing and the drinks are perfection. The manger, Becca is a sweetheart and the military owner, Joe is a real, down to earth dude. Thank you for your military service! We will definitely be back as regulars.
Amazing food and Adrian was great!
