“very clean, great service, amazing chili, best chicken and waffles I ever had (chik'n n waffles)“

“I was running 30 mins late for my reservation, called in, no problem to postpone. The staff were amazing, so friendly and were very helpful with menu choices. The food was unbelievable! My only regret was that I couldn’t eat anymore! Just make a reservation well ahead of time to be seated at a table, otherwise sitting at the bar is the next option. We ordered the Risotto and the crab cakes! Both delicious and ended sharing a slice of cheesecake! 5 stars plus to this incredible vegan restaurant.“

“I just devoured lunch from Eden's food truck located in theWalmart shopping center on Highway 42! The rice and beans were cooked perfectly and the potato salad was definitely homemade. It was absolutely delicious and I will be a repeat customer!“

“It has to be one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Raleigh.“

“Great food (quality and quantity), great ambience for day or night! And great service! We went for a late night dinner, so it was just us in the restaurant kind of close to their end of shift, but that did not affect the quality of food and service. Highly recommended.“

“Great meal, great service, great atmosphere!Highly recommend“

“What an all around amazing night at Second Empire! Our family gathered there to celebrate our son's wedding. The personal service the bride and groom received was way beyond expectations. Everyone made them feel so special! From start to finish, the evening was exceptional. The food was so yummy and there were even options for those in our group, myself included, who were vegan/vegetarian. And it wasn't just a salad. Just ask the server! Ours was well versed in what the chef could prepare for us. The presentation of the food to our party of 13 was also super cool...they brought out all of the entrees at once! Also there is an elevator to help those with mobility issues. Thanks to everyone for helping to make this special day even more special!“

“The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. If you have not tried First Watch please treat yourself soon😊“

“The best chicken and waffles I've ever had.“

“When in Raleigh, will make sure to make this a regular must visit! 😋“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“The cake was so amazing! One layer was pretty in pink, another the lemon curd. A customer for life.“

“COMEDY & collabs w/ rad artists make this place so awesome!⚡️“

“I planned a post funeral for the attendees who traveled to Raleigh from out of town. Since the time was for 3 PM on a Tuesday afternoon we got the area that can also be sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant, although in our case it was not. It did not need to sectioned off as the restaurant was not busy at this time. Lesan was our server and he was great. Energetic, friendly, quick with a smile and a master of the menu details. Our group was a mixture of different age groups but we love to talk and laugh. Lesan blended in seamlessly.“

“Grows excellent with all 4 of us . He was so pleasant and helpful.“

“Was able to order in less than five minutes. The food is awesome. Meal with a drink came out to $15 (after tax). Fresh ingredients and a tasty menu! The fresh teas and lemonade is a must have. And to compliment it all is the friendly staff. I appreciate the wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options. I had a wonderful first time experience. I will definitely be back for more.“

“I am at Glenwood often and love the main dining area and the atmosphere. The food is great especially the salmon.“

“Excellent service and food quality! We had cocktails and a light appetizer while waiting for a table. Then once seated, the two of us ordered: three small plates, one large plate, and a dessert all to share. The timing was perfect. Each item came out separately, with an appropriate pause in between. We were not rushed or overwhelmed. Staff was very attentive without ever being anywhere close to overbearing.“

“Phenomenal lunch and dinner—we went twice in one weekend, and will absolutely come back. So impressed with the simple, yet thoughtful dishes. Happy af. 10/10“

“Super tasty and the staff was on point! Highly recommended!“

“I can see why this restaurant was on the Michelin Guide for Raleigh. The ambiance when you walk in, is so cozy. However, the food was AMAZING. All the flavors were there. The yellowtail crudo had to be my favorite dish. The rice cake they put on top is to die for, and dipping it in the yellowtail was chefs kiss. The catfish was their special and it was perfectly lightly battered and fried! Cocktails were unique and held lots of flavor. Definitely ask the waitress or waiter about the speakeasy, you’ll need a key to go! The service was 10/10, a great date night“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“We brought out of town guests to our favorite French bistro during my son's graduation from NCSU. We like to sit at the counter to watch the chefs in action. Plus, you get Steven (the awesome Beverage Manager/Bartender) as your server. He is so knowledgeable about the menu and is a superior mixologist. Not to mention his attentiveness.
This visit we got to try the fondue and it was everything!“

“The food was great as always, and I truly appreciated the level of service we received. The restaurant was extremely busy with the holiday season kicking off, and the waiting line was fairly long, but thankfully we had a reservation. Even with wait times running around 30–45 minutes, it felt normal for this location and the time of day.

I’m grateful to have been able to enjoy a meal here with my daughters. The staff handled the rush well, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything we ordered was delicious. I just wanted to leave a positive review to recognize the team for their hard work during such a busy season.

Highly recommend.“

“Great family breakfast spot. Can’t eat enough bacon. Thanks Lathaniel for being a wonderful server!“

“Wye Hill is hands down our favorite dining experience in Raleigh. Approachable, relaxing and fun, but also elevated, trendy and DELICIOUS! A fabulous date night spot. Fun for a family outing. Great place to hang with friends. An all around fantastic experience!“

“Awesome soups and great food.“

“Food was delicious, drinks excelent. Service esa awesome. We'll definitely go back soon!“

“Our favorite Thai place in the Triangle!“

“You know it’s going to be good when the table comes stocked with molasses which pairs so well with the buttermilk biscuits. The little girls’ favorite was the garden fresh corn on the cob. The only thing better than the food is the service! Thank y’all for making us feel at home.“

“delish!!!!! so good! if i could i wound give it a ?“

“The staff is super kind and helpful. I got the coconut gelato, tried the dulce de Leche and my friend got the vegan gelato and WOW WOW WOW. all of it, incredibly decadent and lovely! Great depth of flavor. Lacks nothing at all. Clean place! GO GO GO. there isn't another good gelato place for hours!“

“I made my own poke bowl with tuna, crab salad, assorted vegetables, and eel sauce—it turned out great! It was flavorful, high in protein, and surprisingly affordable for what I got. The only slight disappointment was the crab rangoons; they tasted and were textured mostly like cream cheese. Calamari also seemed a bit dry. Otherwise, I throughly enjoyed the poke bowl.“

“Besides the generous and delicious portions, the crew could not have been more and professional. There was a rather challenging customer ahead of us and they handled it with poise and stayed respectful. At the end, the customer was satisfied and actually thanked them. they deserve kudos from management.“

“Amazing dining experience all around! On a Friday evening they told us 20 minute wait but seated us in 10. Delicious food, wonderful service, fun atmosphere, clean bathrooms. 10/10. We’ll be back here a lot!“

“Amazing food (had the tandoori chix) and even more amazing service (they even brought us out a extra serving of rice to take home with our leftovers). Also prices were very reasonable.“
