“First time dining here last night...great friendly staff, great atmosphere, and probably a Top 5 meal that I have ever had! THIS PLACE IS A GEM! You can absolutely tell it's local and fresh (and I normally think that's BS). Started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts and then the Homage to the Pig and my wife got the Shrimp Pasta. Incredible (chef's kiss). Going back for sure!“

“I recently visited Mirchi's Indian restaurant in Cary for lunch with a friend and was so impressed. The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly spiced—every dish we tried was a standout. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. A true gem for authentic Indian cuisine in the Triangle. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We had such an amazing time at Red Line in Raleigh! The atmosphere is relaxed but still full of energy — the perfect spot to unwind and have fun with friends. The owner is a genuinely great guy who goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome. Service was spot-on, the drinks were fantastic, and the whole vibe just made the night even better. Definitely one of our new favorite bars in the city!“

“Great place. Good wine, nice atmosphere“

“Great food, cocktails & service!“

“Great wine bar with live music and friendly bartenders.“

“We ordered the Christmas take home Meal and it was superb!! Everyone raved about the freshness. The Prime Rib was delicious and the vegetables were very tasty and the rolls and pies were the best! We will be ordering for all the Holidays meals in 2025!“

“Came here a few times since last summer:

1- Food for the price has been consistently outstanding. Whoever makes the food here really.. I love what you guys do.

2- Their service each and every encounter has been close to flawless. Last November, we were here for my partner's birthday, and not only did they treat us with free desserts, but also with coupons that offered free flatbreads. You just can't do better than that. Our last encounter was on my birthday week around two weeks ago and it was a great experience.

3- The atmosphere is welcoming, the restaurant appears clean, cozy, everyone just seems happy.

Don't change, Seasons! :)“

“What a wonderful experience! Delicious food! Highly recommend the whipped sheep’s cheese , the gambas al ajillo, and the chicken pimientos!!!!“

“Although I have enjoyed all that I tried at this establishment the scones and tea are what love most. They are often extremely busy on the weekends and evenings so the volume can climb however it a historical landmark so that is understandable. This is a tea room although not a traditional tea room so go try it out and enjoy the experience .“

“Last night was the first time I stepped into W&P. As soon as I walked through the door I thought…”what is this place and why haven’t I heard this before?!”. I looked around for my friends on the first level and couldn’t find them, then realized, “wait, there’s a downstairs?”. Walking downstairs it opened up to this cozy, eclectic, 70’s vibe lounge - think Mike Brady (The Brady Bunch) had a hidden bourbon/whiskey bar. The whole place pleasantly sucked me in. Joshua is a savant behind the bar when it comes to drinks…and his music choice was on point. Thank you W&P.“

“Our visit to The Capital Grille – Raleigh was truly exceptional. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a fine dining experience. The service stood out as attentive and professional—every detail was taken care of with warmth and precision. The food exceeded expectations: perfectly prepared steaks, flavorful sides, and an impressive wine selection that elevated the evening. Each dish was served at the right temperature and beautifully presented, reflecting the restaurant's high standards. Overall, it was a memorable experience that combined outstanding cuisine, impeccable service, and a refined ambiance. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to others.“

“This is one of the coziest scenes I have experienced here in North Carolina. I've lived here for aomost 5 years! The people and the vibe are extremely relaxed. Such a chill place with great beer( I am not a beer drinker bit I really like theirs!!!) They bring in great vendors for a variety of food on Thursdays and the service from the bartender, Gabz is super fun behind the bar. PS... bring your dog and kids! Totally family friendly! Great crowd!!“

“Ate here this week for the first time. The cocktails at the bar were great! The pasta dishes were delicious and the service was excellent! Will be back!“

“Love HH and they always have a good vibe and great selection of craft beers!
Love how it feels like a great spot for the residents in the area too, but on trivia and event nights parking is very limited but that’s not a negative just a heads up!!“

“Great place to find excellent craft beers at reasonable prices. Dog friendly and very cool crowd.“

“Peak of the Vine at Apex offers a unique cocktail and wine experience. The bar's elegant yet cozy atmosphere sets the stage for John, the skilled mixologist, to craft bespoke cocktails tailored to your tastes. There’s no menu—just a personalized drink experience that always hits the mark. Complementing the cocktails is a well-curated wine list, with staff eager to provide expert recommendations. Attentive service and a welcoming vibe make every visit memorable. For a truly customized drink experience, Peak of the Vine is a must-visit.“

“Man I bought some food today from this truck and I swear I haven’t had anything like this since I moved up here 6 years ago. Being from the Caribbean it’s hard finding authentic Caribbean food and this is top tier. 10/10“

“We really enjoyed our food and will definitely return for more!“

“Great bourbon selection including vintage whiskey. The craft cocktails are amazing! Beautiful and masculine decor!“

“We LOVE the Mixx - It's our go to hangout on chill weekend ends and/or Wednesday nights after work. Their wine club is an excellent deal and has opened our pallet to new wines and regions we would not have purchased otherwise. If you have the chance, sign up for one of their private events they are phenomenal!“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“The food & service were excellent.“

“Best bottle shop in the Triangle!!! According to my boyfriend, Bottle Revolution has amazing selection of beer, wine and mead. As someone who does not drink alcohol, I LOVE that Bottle Revolution has an EXCELLENT variety of nonalcoholic options for me . I truly appreciate their inclusivity for us non drinkers. They always having a variety of cool options for me to choose from too!“

“The service was phenomenal, exceeding all expectations. Amber was so personable and friendly as our server. They even surprised us with a happy anniversary card and gift of chocolates.“

“These guys are amazing. Fabrice knows my wine style better than I do. He is very knowledgeable. Always willing to help. Carpenters is a great place. All people are welcome here. The selection is off the charts. I look forward to Friday wine tasting. I highly recommend!“

“The service is friendly and attentive - Mike took good care of us. The menus is limited for tapas BUT the hummus was delicious fresh and the contrast of dark cherries was creative we loved it. The beef kabobs are a favorite though I prefer lamb. I would definitely return and I will wait for the new menu - hopefully there will be more diversity on the small plates ( fish option).“

“Nothing beats the comfort and quality of Bella Monica food! I first dined here in college when I was looking for some eggplant parmesan - since that day 20 years later it’s still my favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh! Btw their eggplant parmesan uses in house ROASTED eggplant not fried and I cannot explain how delicious it is. I’ve likely tried everything on the menu by this point and not once have I been disappointed.“

“I had an awesome time earlier this week celebrating a good friend's 25th birthday here. We had the rooftop reserved (both inside and outside). The supervisor Mac and the bartenders Greyson and Brittany were AWESOME! They helped to set the place for the reservation. They catered to the large volume and drink orders. They even made a desert with candles last minute as we sang "Happy Birthday!" The staff here definitely helped to make the night memorable and fun. I did not personally try the food but friends said that it was great! Service and atmosphere were both 10/10.“

“music should be in the background 'background music' unless it is a hard rock cafe, etc. else it forces everyone to yell or be unable to hear everything. i'm not going to write anything about the server since except for rudely condescending to an honest question about the menu, she did not speak to me the rest of the time i was there nor check on me, etc etc Fortunately there were several other staff around who assisted me during my visit!“

“We decided to pop in Good Day Good Night for an after dinner drink. There were 5 of us. We each ordered 1 drink and one person ordered dessert. Her coffee finally arrived, after she finished her dessert. The rest of us had to wait over 30min for our drink. I ordered a White Russian. It was so iced down, the ice had melted and the drink just watery whatever. Our server just acted like we were bothering him, each time we asked about the status of our drink order. My drink was the only mixed drink. The others were a shot of bourbon, and 3 decafs (the coffee was already made) Next time we want to stop somewhere for an after dinner drink, it won't be here.“

“The food was outstanding, and Penny was our server and made the evening extra enjoyable with her warmth and attention to detail. The manager came by, unobtrusively, and asked if everything was to our liking, and sincerely asked for any areas of improvement. We couldn't think of any, and she thanked us, wished us a pleasant evening, and continued tending to other diners. Outstanding experience, and we will definitely be back!“
