Fine Dining Restaurants near Wake Forest, NC

“Heritage Grille and Wine Barrel is a true gem that effortlessly blends sophistication with laid-back charm. We stumbled upon this spot and were blown away by the dual experience it offers—a fine dining restaurant on one side and an upscale bar on the other, both executed with flair. The fine dining side is an absolute treat, with a menu that’s creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried, from the perfectly seared scallops to the tender filet mignon, was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. The service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, making the whole evening feel special. Then there’s the Wine Barrel side, an upscale bar with a speakeasy vibe that’s perfect for a more relaxed night out. The cocktail menu is a standout—try the pecan pie old fashioned if you want your mind blown—and the wine selection is extensive and expertly curated. What really sealed the deal for us, though, was the outdoor seating. It’s spacious, stylish, and surrounded by a great atmosphere that makes you want to linger for hours. Whether you’re sipping a drink under the stars or enjoying a gourmet meal, the outdoor space elevates the whole experience. Heritage Grille and Wine Barrel is a rare find that nails both elegance and comfort—can’t wait to come back!“

“Back in the states for the first time in almost 4 years, we had to get one of our fave foods…the pan-fried calamari from Capital Grille.

We placed our order online and it was ready in 25 minutes. Pickup was easy and, of course, the food was excellent.

If we come back, we are going back!“
