Lovely, bright, modern place for lunch. The food was excellent as was our server. I was visiting, but if I lived nearby, this would be the perfect place for an after work drink with friends.

Two words: cocktails and sammies. I think I just had the best grilled cheese-esque sandwich of my life and their cocktails are anything but ordinary. They are unique, inventive, delicious and artful. I also hear they have charcuterie boards but now that I ve tasted their Tomatoe soup and sandwiches, I am forever ruined for grilled cheeses and will likely never make it past that part of the menu. Super kind and great service, chill relaxed but elevated ambience. Upstairs. Reasonable prices for delish!! A great chill date or quiet place to meet some friends after work.

Matthew with Offline - Plenty of good drink options and a nice space to enjoy snacks with friends. A lighter fare of food options available, overall good experience.

We had our baby shower at Apéritif yesterday, ~40 friends and family, and *everyone* complimented their favorite food items (deviled eggs, egg rolls, canapes, flatbreads), the seasonal decadent cocktails, and how spacious and nice the space was.
Several people outside of our party dined outside on the outdoor balcony patio while we had our festivities inside and there was zero issue with service accommodating all of us.
Jason and his team were helpful, kind, and on top of taking care of us the throughout all of it. Thank's again, y'all!!

I acknowledge the comments of Rob McAuliff and Jason Lynch.
I live local to Aparatif and dance at the dance studio within half a mile of Aperatif.
We have given up on going here. It is common for them to either be closed prior to published hours or for them to call last call way before published hours.
This venue is on our veto list.
There is not much else around …. The Carolina Ale House does not meet our vibe. Our preferred local venue is the hotel bar of the Washington Duke Hotel.
Aperatif as a venue needs to honor its hours. As of today … as locals … we are not going back. It’s a shame as men it works … “it works” …. When it does not … “it sucks”. My comments are based on being a local and on multiple experience and not one off.

The food is quite good here and they got a vegan sandwich and a few small plates as well as a cheese board. The cocktails are great too as well as the atmosphere.

I hosted a baby shower at Apéritif and it exceeded my expectations! The food, drinks, ambiance and customer service were top notch. Our guests had an amazing time. Highly recommend for small private events!

At 9:12 on a Tuesday walked up the stairs only to be rudely greeted by the staff, who informed us they were closing.
The posted closing time on Google is 10:00.
Terrible terrible service.

Came here at 913pm on 8/15. Both Google and their front door says they’re open until 10. We get intercepted in the front and told they just did last call and are closed. Either they need to update their info or tell their staff they can’t close before advertised closing.

Dan with Offline - The cocktails are fantastic as well as the food. Two of the unexpected standouts, the lavender mimosa and the Caesar salad. Be sure to check for their daily drink specials.
I imagine this place is great for people who live right by, but there is nothing else around so if you travel over there, it isn't worth being a single stop.
The interior is nice and it has some decent views. For food, we only had the charcuterie board which we enjoyed. The drinks were too watery for our tastes. Service was friendly and attentive.
Not sure if I would come again, but may be worth a check out for others.

Went on a Saturday afternoon and it was extremely quiet. Had an amazing and intimate experience. The ambience is great and the food was delicious. The highlight were the cocktails! Highly recommend the lavender one as pictured.

I’ve always enjoyed the vibe and cocktails here (especially the Aperol, Hugo, and Bloody Mary) and have visited several times. However, during my last visit, we noticed we were charged more than the tip we left. Additionally, the music from Gizmo across the parking lot was so loud that it disrupted the great atmosphere of the outdoor elevated patio.

I love this place. Come several times a month. A very low-key casual, comfortable atmosphere to have a drink and something to eat with friends. Excellent sandwiches, the cheeseboard is always good, and we love the drinks.

Great cocktails, friendly service, and a nice environment. We were somewhat disappointed in the flavor and quality of the food.
