“Tamasha is nothing short of incredible. A beautifully appointed restaurant that provides first class service and amazing food. This is truly one of Raleigh's finest.“

“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.“

“Great little neighborhood deli in N. Raleigh area. Ordered the Grand Gobbler on focaccia (bread was perfect & so fresh) & the potato salad (literally some of the best I’ve ever had). It was all so plentiful & so very good! Place has a very simple, but tasteful menu. Super nice staff working Sabrina & (Dalton brought our food out & spoke) he always does a perfect job on preparing our sandwiches! 🥪 Overall service was great! Definitely a must for a quick lunch stop! Will definitely be back asap!“

“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. 😂“
