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“

The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“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 🥂“

“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. 😂“
