Candles was everywhere. Soft music playing. Listen it was a 10 out of 10. Food was great. I will definitely be going back. They also gave me a birthday card and a free appetizer.

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

Great crowd!!“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“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 :)“

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

“I would like to applaud our waitress for her pleasant and professional demeanor. She had a wonderful sense of timing—giving our table space when we needed it to decide, while also knowing exactly when to check in. Her attentiveness felt natural and never intrusive.
I truly appreciate having confident, experienced women hosting our table—they truly understand the assignment and create such a welcoming atmosphere. I also noticed and appreciated how seamlessly the ladies worked together, ensuring our food was delivered promptly even if our main host was assisting another table.
It made for a truly wonderful birthday lunch experience.“

“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.“

“It's not a bad spot. I like it here. The only thing is that the bar is so dang small and the bartenders don't really have the best service ever. U guys need another bar or a bigger bar to serve a bunch of people. That way bartenders aren't overwhelmed.

But also. Bartenders will look at me straight in my face and won't get my order. It's frustrating. So please with that. Y'all need to make a change. RH Rooftop just opened and their service is remarkable. Don't be lower than them. Be better too.“
