“Went for our anniversary tonight, it was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, the patio was gorgeous, and our server Tali was first class. She did a great job of taking care of us, and even noticed earlier in the night that I didn’t drink - so she brought out a non-alcoholic substitution when she served us surprise celebratory bubbly. My boyfriend and I, as amazing as the food was, agree that she was the best part of the whole experience. Thank you Tali!”

Tamasha Modern Indian 4200 Six Forks Rd Suite # 130, Raleigh Indian • $$$

“What an incredible dinning experience. The decor is beautiful. Love the dark green velvet booths, very roomy. We had 6 at our table and had plenty of room. Drinks were very tasty, loved how each came in a different glass. We ordered an assortment of small plates, naan, and large plates. Everything was out of this world. I highly recommend. Make sure to make a reservation as they only have 15 tables and only 2 seatings per night.”

“If I could give y’all a hundred stars I would! We had about 30 people coming together for my birthday. I had been in communication with a different restaurant (Cowfish) for over a month preparing because 30 people at a restaurant is NOT a small feat! They decided to give me a hard time the night of and were not really willing to accommodate us. We decided to find another restaurant. I immediately knew that NO ONE was going to be able to accommodate 30 people on a Saturday Evening but I was wrong! BONEFISH to the rescue! Before we even got across the street the tables were pushed together and prepped with menus water and silverware! Not only that even with a party of our size everything was executed perfectly! The food was delicious, we had a great time, the managers were friendly, and our server was the GREATEST (especially to be new to serving large parties.) I even loved my little art work on my to go box! We love intentionality! Shout out to Rasheive! All in all it was a 10/10 night, with 10/10 people in a 10/10 restaurant! Definitely coming back. ❤️”

“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.”

“Hibernian Irish Pub & Restaurant at 8021 Falls of Neuse Rd in Raleigh was a great first-time experience for us. While we're no strangers to the local Irish pub scene, this spot quickly became a favorite. From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm and welcoming. The staff was professional, friendly, and clearly loved what they do. Our servers, Rob and Jordan, were outstanding. Attentive, engaging, and full of personality. They made sure our experience was the best. The food is solid. The spicy chicken sandwich packed a nice kick, and the house pub burger with hearty steak fries hit the spot. We finished with the Guinness mousse, which was supreme. Their Super Bowl party on the horizon and what's sure to be an epic St. Patrick's Day celebration, we'll definitely be back to Hibernian. Great food, even better service. They nailed it.”

Thank you Eric for your help!”

“It’s been years since I’ve dined at P.F. Chang’s and my latest visit has me wanting more! For starters my bf and I ordered the BBQ Spare Ribs that were so good I forgot to get a picture lol. I would certainly order those again. My main was the Crispy Honey Chicken with Lo Mein noodles. I liked my meal but I would try something different next time. The Sesame Beef that my bf ordered was even better, especially paired with the Fried Rice side. I will be ordering the latter on my next visit here. We dined on a Sunday night, an hour or so before closing, so it was not busy at all. Our service was good but would’ve been great if our waitress hadn’t forgotten the bowl of soup I ordered but it was fine because I was so full after eating our app and entree and they did sincerely apologize so all is well. I do look forward to eating here again soon and since I am not from the area it makes for a special treat. I highly recommend this P.F. Chang’s location.”

Taste of China 6209 Rock Quarry Rd #126, Raleigh Chinese • $

“This is a family owned and operated business. They are trying very hard to please people, but some people can NOT be pleased. Everyone here is very kind, and the food is very good. Service is above standard. I have read comments on how some people don't "like" this food. That is an individual opinion. Please don't leave bad comments about the entire store just because YOU don't personally like the taste. That has NOTHING to do with anything. As far as the child (I read another comment about a child misbehaving), so it's OK for customers to bring unruly children to a restaurant, but not ok for a restaurant owners' young child to have a bad day? Do not be judging others until you, yourself are free of faults. There is nothing wrong with this business. Thank you for being here and giving us a place to eat. :)”

“Thanksgiving for dinner, my daughter and son-in-law took me to The Pickled Onion at Wakefield. It was their first time as well as my first time eating here. I had a ribeye steak (medium well) with baked potato and salad, It was cooked to perfection and tender. My son-in-law got wings, my daughter got stuffed jalapeños and a salad. They also really enjoyed their food. As far as service goes, we were checked on often to see if we needed refills or needed anything. First experience here could not have been any better. Will definitely be going back.”

Starbucks 2526 Hillsborough St, Raleigh Coffee Shops • $

“This is hands down the BEST Starbucks around! I don’t think many people realize that the mobile order pick-up is a game changer—just place your order and swing by to grab it! I can understand how the staff might be stretched thin, especially during those late evenings, but every time I’ve needed assistance or had questions, they've been nothing short of amazing—super supportive and totally professional! It's such a great experience every time!”

Bahama Breeze 3309 Wake Forest Rd, Raleigh Caribbean • $$

“We decided to celebrate my son‘s 22nd birthday here tonight, I had reserved a table for 14 about a month ago and was surprised when we got there and they had a table for 10 of us and then a separate table for four of us. I wasn't thrilled about my party, not all sitting together so they quickly accommodated us and moved us to a table.That would see all 14. There were no food runners so our waitress had a lot on her plate, but she was very nice and I would definitely go back here and celebrate again. The food was amazing. We had appetizers and dessert and everything was great and came out quickly and taste amazing.”
