Love the redo of the interiors. Very nice. Good vibes from staff all around. Menu really nice. Great selections. I had the grouper which was delish and my friend had the quail special which was very nice as well. Service was superb. Will definitely come back!

We loved our evening at Bloomsbury. The food was great, we have the Grouper and the Tuna! Dessert was very good too! Servers and managers were very friendly and helpful! All in all a great night!

Excellent meal of salmon that was seasoned very nicely, stewed garbanzo beans that were the best we've had. It was an excellent meal. Our waiter was very good, providing very good service along with good conversation. Like most nice restaurants, the desserts were above average. average
Can’t enough about our staff tonight’s. From the head Chef to our waitstaff (Pedro!) to the hospitality of everyone who works here. We were hoping for a memorable dinner and we were served so much more than that. Thanks to EVERYONE at the Bloomsbury Restaurant for an incredible dining experience ???

Have been coming here for many many years. I've always loved this place until last night. It took 20 minutes after we had been seated for someone to even bring us water. The service was not what it usually is.

Food was very good!! We were seated next to kitchen so noisy, and not what we expected for our 34th anniv. that was noted on our reservation in Open Table. The Young Chef has reached out and we look forward to returning for a better overall experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Read other reviews but honestly in Raleigh the bar might be unfavorable to anything other than big investment situations We came from a place in NC that had very little in terms of dining after having come from a city in TN that had an enormous amount of dining. We were very happy with our dining experience and plan to be regulars

Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic!!! Unique menu options mixed with traditional favorites that will not disappoint! Our server was extremely attentive and his timing with each course was impeccable! Thank you Bloomsbury for a tasty, gourmet, meal!
If you're looking for a meal that's not only delicious but in support of an amazing cause, this is the place. Our meals were absolutely perfect- I had lunch, he had breakfast and we both cleaned our plates! But what impressed us even more was concept of this restaurant! There needs to be more of these all over our country!

I hadn't been in many years, but the quality of the food was not the same and the prices were high for what we got. The food was good, no specific complaints, just not what we expected.

I'm sure this restaurant was great 25 years ago, but it needs serious updating. The food quality doesn't compete with many other restaurants in downtown for the price range in which it resides.

A casual atmosphere, food was excellent, a bit pricey, but that's probably because everything is a la carte.

Mahi was dry and not enjoyable. Ran out of Yukon potatoes - how does that happen? Not the same restaurant as when Topher owned it. Use to be in my top 5 and now I doubt I'll ever go back. Too bad
