“Excellent wine bar and restaurant in the Village District. The bruschetta board is a must. you get to pick multiple flavors and they're all incredible. Great wine selection by the glass at very reasonable prices. The patio is beautiful and perfect for afternoon drinks. The space is bright and inviting. Perfect for a casual lunch or happy hour with friends. The $5 pitchers of wine during happy hour are an insane deal.“

From the minute we walked into the restaurant until the moment we walked out, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. i honestly believe it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

The food was hands-down some of the most delicious I’ve ever experienced in North Carolina. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared.

What truly made the night unforgettable was the staff. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Vidrio exceeded every expectation, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Easily a 5-star experience and a restaurant we’ll be coming back to again and again!“

This is a great spot for a date night or for hosting a celebration! I would definitely recommend it.“

Such a chill place with great beer( I am not a beer drinker bit I really like theirs!!!)

They always having a variety of cool options for me to choose from too!“

“The food and wine were excellent but the prices were a bit high. I loved the fact that they had wines from all over and they could pair them with the food however our waitress barely said anything and didn’t seem that knowledgeable. We waited a long time to be seated.“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Capital Grille. We chose a late lunch and it was so lovely. The staff is extremely attentive which is more than I’d expect at any restaurant (post-pandemic). Thank you Audrey and the triage team at North Hills. Staying together is an awesome accomplishment for us and you all reminded us what a big deal real love truly is. Continued blessings to you all. Cheers 🥂“

“Awesome place, delicious food and super friendly staff!“

“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.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Margaux’s in Raleigh dazzled me! The outdoor seating set the perfect vibe, and my waiter Bill was phenomenal—attentive, engaging, and professional, just like the whole staff. Every plate was art, every bite divine, and that key lime pie? Pure transcendence. Effervescent culinary journey with next-level flavors—Perfect kickoff to my Labor Day weekend. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat!“

“Such a great place. So yummy and friendly :)“

“I have been to 100 Pho restaurants. This was clearly the best pho restaurant I have ever been to. I highly recommend stopping by and ordering pho.“

“Sea bass, Brussels, potatoes, filet, and dirty martini were fantastic! Will visit again.“

“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.“

“Chloe was our waitress and she was amazing! I come here fairly often and she’s been the best service I’ve had in a long time. Although everyone is super nice but her customer service was superb. Thank you for making my night amazing! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Level7 Rooftop Bar has become one of my favorite places in Raleigh for networking events, sunsets, and pretending I’m far more sophisticated than I actually am while holding a cocktail and staring dramatically at the skyline. 😄

The views are fantastic, especially around sunset. Apparently, I’ve now become “that person” who takes entirely too many sky pictures, but honestly, Raleigh keeps cooperating with these ridiculous sunsets, so I refuse to apologize. 🌅😂

What I really like about this place is the layout. There are so many little seating areas, couches, tables, and tucked-away spaces that it actually makes networking events enjoyable instead of feeling like you’re trapped in a loud convention center fighting for survival and eye contact.

It’s open and social without being obnoxiously loud every time I’ve been there, which means you can actually hear conversations without smiling and nodding while secretly having no idea what someone just said.

The bartenders have always been great and friendly to me.

Now… some of the wait staff? Let’s just say maybe I’ve accidentally caught them on their “I need a vacation immediately” days. 😄 But honestly, we all have those moments, and it’s never been enough to keep me from coming back.

I haven’t eaten there yet, so I can’t speak on the food, but for drinks, views, sunsets, and networking, it’s a really great rooftop spot.

Basically, if you’re looking for a place to meet people, catch a sunset, have a drink, and casually act like your life is very glamorous for a couple hours, this is a solid choice. 😂“
