14 Best Wine Bars near Wake Forest

“I planned a special outing for tea service here for a small group of kids. The owner was very communicative via email helping me understand what to expect, and planning our food selection. The staff on hand were phenomenal. They made each of the kids, including the 3 and 4 year old, feel like an important patron. They were patient as the older kids figured out what was an option for them. I was worried we’d be an inconvenience as a group of kids, but they genuinely made us feel like they were delighted to have us. The food was delicious, the tea selection was good, and the tea good. The lattes we had were great. It was an incredible experience and new for all of us. I plan to return for a full adult tea service, and highly recommend this place if you have kids who want the tea party experience.“

Stylish interior. Small, comfy place. The 1911 canned drinks were all amazing and we also tried caramel apple. So smooth, so good. Friendly staff. - Sincerely, Sawgrass Acres“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
