“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.“

Nice Cocktail Bar

“This is a cute little bar right in downtown Cary! I’m not sure why we had never tried this place before.. Great location, lots of parking… They have lots and lots of blink options and many local liquors as well! Love how queen and friendly this little place is! Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable, and the drinks were terrific! We sat outside under the trees because it was a beautiful day!“

“This was our first visit to Side Door Cocktail bar. V pizza was already closed and we almost left because we did not find the door to the bar. We started with two classic cocktails which were just okay. Our second round was a little bit better. We shared one their signature cocktail at the end which was good. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.“

“These folk let our motorcycle group come in all the time on Thursdays for bike night, and they are amazing about it! The bartenders are always friendly and happy to help, the games are fun, and they let us park our bikes up on the patio away from the cars! Great place for bikes to hang out, great place for friends to mingle, and just a great place hands down

Parking: They let our motorcycles park on the patio outside“

“Just left this Mexican spot and honestly, I really liked it. The interior was beautiful, the vibe was great, and the music was chill—not too loud. It was lunchtime, so it was naturally a bit busy and noisy, but still totally comfortable.

The food was really good too. Nice presentation, well put together. The portion wasn’t huge, but just right—not one of those places that just pile everything on. There was a good amount of rice, beans, veggies, etc. I got a bowl with chicken, steak, and shrimp, and I was super happy with it.

Only thing I thought was a bit off—they served it in a chipped bowl. You can see it in the photo. It’s not a big deal for me, but it just doesn’t look great for a restaurant. Still, overall, I was definitely satisfied.“
