As always excellent cocktails, we had our usuals, baguette, pate, and vegetable dish, this time we also had the trout and the beef.The place is always fun, the service is very good. It was a lovely visit.“

“AWESOME! Best Indian Food In RTP hands down!“

“Came in for a date night after hearing about this place but never having been. We were absolutely blown away.We’ve been to multiple places in Greece and Greek food as turned in to one of my all time favorite types of cuisine. Tavern Agora made us feel like we were in the Aegean Sea all over again.The Trio Spread was one of the largest appetizers we’ve ever had. It’s delicious, but be aware, it’s huge.The Stuffed Grape Leaves were delicious but were a little disappointed only 4 came to an order. Still absolutely worth trying.For the main course we both ordered the Souvlaki Platter. One with chicken and one with shrimp. Each protein was delicious and flavorful. Cooked to perfection.Our server was so friendly and helpful with suggestions and sharing house specials.We will 100% be back for more Tavern Agora. If you haven’t tried this place yet, do it!!“

“While visiting Raleigh, we stopped in to this delightful hot honey chicken eatery. I had the Carolina Reaper. Advice: Get the sauce on the side. It is a spicy devil. My everlasting love for eternity got the classic, which we split, of course. We shared fries with 2 different aioli sauces. We also shared a side of Mac and cheese. A little dry but quite tasty. No drinks or desserts this time, but I'm sure we will be returning.“

“I love this place so much. Delicious Laotian food that reminds me of my trip to Laos. Like curry as well as lemongrass sausage was the star of the show. Highly recommend trying the lemongrass sausage for an incredibly scrumptious appetizer that will exceed any expectations. The Thai iced tea was tasty as well but next time I would ask for 50% of the sweetness.“

“Wow! I was encouraged by the reviews; however Michael made our experience one to remember! He was attentive and genuine. We were celebrating my bday so we started with dessert!! The best benets ever!!! The oysters are fresh and perfectly charred. Gumbo was one for the books. Do not hesitate to eat here!“

“Made us something not on the menu and it was on the house! Waitstaff was very friendly :)“

“The Bamba fries are great and so is the Taco Bamba. The 'Ol Dirty Basket quesadilla and the mulita birria was good but slightly one dimensional. The consomme was overpowering the meat. The Queen Bee taco is really different from the rest of the flavors and is definitely new age.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“Food is fabulous and a wall of spirits, too, in case yours needs a lift! Their featured cocktails are delightful. It's almost always Wabbit Season for me! ?Vegetarian options: There are only a few, especially if you are GF. The beet salad is super, though. I also like their grain bowl.“

“I really enjoyed my first time at this food hall. It’s completely different from Morgan st food hall in terms of the atmosphere and food options. Its not as crowded and its not as much noise around you. I was pleased with the space. There is indoor seating with upstairs options and outdoor seating. Food was prepared fast and tasted great“

“We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday around 1pm. We didn't wait more than 5min before getting seated and drunk orders. The staff was super friendly and took great care of us. We had a few kids under 7yr that were also with us and they had options available. The food was great. I remember trying the Chicken Tikka Marsala & Peppercorn Mango Lamb but we ate family style and I tried many different things. It was great. If you like Indian food this is a great place. I'd expect to pay $45‐$50 per person including tips. Enjoy! We all liked it a lot.“

“Had the best meal ever, again! I'm never disappointed when I eat at J Alexanders. The wait was an hour, so we sat at the bar. Emily took care of us with another handsome (African-American) man (wish I would have gotten his name). They were both so attentive and detail oriented. I can't say enough about my favorites offerings... ThaiKai Salad, Steak and Frites (perfect temperature) and the Carrot Cake. The service and atmosphere are wonderful too but will take second place to the fabulous food.“

“It was sooooooo good! I loved the gluten free homemade pasta which I was able to have substituted in with any dish. I added flat ironed steak and it was cooked to perfection. My mojito was on point. The service was impeccable. I loved everything about my dining experience.“

“This is a great little spot! Some of the best and most authentic food from south of the border I've had recently. And a great authentic vibe/decor as well. The service was good and the place was very clean. They even have candy and drinks from south of the border!Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of table with chairs that can be moved to accommodate a wheelchair“

“This has to be my favorite spot for ice cream in Raleigh! I love seeing what the new flavors are every month because they're so creative. I really enjoyed learning about the story behind Two Roosters and that they source a lot of their ingredients locally like using bakery items from Sola. They also always include dairy free and/or gluten free options. It's in a great location downtown to spend an evening outside and an awesome neighborhood to walk off all the delicious ice cream you just ate!“

“Food was fantastic. atmosphere was great, service was top notch.“

“Food: The menu has dishes and dishes of your soon to be favorite meals.The brunch menu. Pause brunch!!!! I was floored the tres leches french toast!!! Delicious.The fajitas: grilled peppers, onions, rice, beans lettuce, pico guacamole 10/10.The chicken and shrimp were perfectly grilled.The vegetarian: mushrooms, sweet potatoes corn, delicious, fresh, and fulling.The atmosphere is beachy/ fun with bright colors dope artwork. ??“

“Best Traditional Indian Food in Town“

“First time ordering here — wow!!! Had the purple 2oz shot, brussel sprouts and meatless chicken sandwich. Served hot, seasoned very well, and great customer service. They just got added to our favorites.“

“I have enjoyed eating here every time I come to Raleigh during daytime hours. Their food items offer a wide variety of food choices and the amazing taste makes you question if your actually eating their healthy food selections. I also love the Juice Bar menu. I got the "Purple Haze" with vitamin shot and it is so yummy!“

“Romantic 32nd anniversary. Cocktails, dinner and service were perfecto.“

“Our family has a wonderful time at Irregardless tonight! Our waitress Amanda was always on point, everything came out quite timely. Two of our party members are vegan and they were very happy with the selection of vegan and gluten free options. The tandoori tofu and sweet potatoes enchiladas were delicious! The shrimp sausage in the Rigatoni tasted just like regular sausage. Unfortunately, the chicken was quite dry and we needed extra dressing with the Caesar salad.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. Our waitress made sure to ask if there were any allergies that the kitchen needed to be aware of“

“Food here was amazing!! Service was really fast, and my avocado dosa was super good. My server Edwin was really nice and encouraged us to try new things, would definitely go back again!“

“Our experience at Seasons 52 was excellent, start to finish. Our server was courteous, well spoken and timely in attention to every detail. The food was delicious...good portions and well prepared. A perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, or meet with extended family and friends. Thank you.“

“A Place At The Table Raleigh is the greatest place not only to eat with all the delicious food (especially the Cinnamon Rolls), but also to volunteer since there is always something to do. I rate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I am at Glenwood often and love the main dining area and the atmosphere. The food is great especially the salmon.“

“This is my second time getting Pita Bowl for lunch and it is quickly becoming my new favorite lunch spot! I always order ahead of time and it is always ready within 5-10 minutes of my requested order time. The inside is decent sized with tables and hightop seating. There is outside seating as well. Everything comes out warm because it is made fresh and that translates into the amazing flavor! We have gotten pita bowls both times, one with chicken shawarma and one with shaved lamb. Both meat options were phenomenal, flavorful, and warm at pickup. All the toppings are delicious, many to choose from, and you can get as many as you want with no extra charge! The cilantro potatoes come out crispy and hot, so those are always a great topping. Dipping the warm pita bread in the garlic sauce and tzatziki is another favorite of mine here. Highly recommend and will be back for more lunches!“

“One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. We left in absolute awe.“

“I love the burgers here at Burger Village. There is something special about them that makes you come back again and again. The Burgers here are not ordinary but at a different level altogether. I would highly recommend this place. They also have a good collection of the draft beer.“

“Fun decor, interesting menu & tasty food. But best put of our experience was our server Katherine who was helpful, friendly & generally awesome.“

“Ms. Tracy was wonderful and exceeded our expectations with tonights dining experience. She was very lovely and professional. We all three fully enjoyed the food and the service! We live a ways away but will most definitely be back for Tracy!Vegetarian options: availableParking: available“

“A hidden gem with beautifully presented dishes, friendly and attentive staff, and the option to choose your level of spiciness, which is great for us as our family ranges from none to make me sweat. I particularly liked their navaratna korma, and boys couldn't get enough garlic naan. Can't wait to try their biryani.“

“Very delicious food. Always.“

“Great food! Great service! Great prices!“

“This place is a must-do if you are in Raleigh. Whenever we have guests in town, we make sure to bring them to this location. There are food options that can please anyone. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The ambiance is very fun and great for a night out.“

“The food at First Watch is always delicious and Justin is an excellent server!“

“Excellent food at very good prices. On my list to revisit, when in the area.“

“Came in immediately after NC State graduation and got service without a reservation. Sat outside and despite it being a hot day the umbrellas kept it nice and shady. Food was very tasty, wait time wasn’t bad at all considering the busyness. Service was a little lacking, server was kind but maybe a tad forgetful and not very engaging/outgoing. Still very much enjoyed our food and coffee would definitely go back!“

“This is my favorite stop when I’m in town. The owners and staff are amazing, the service is great, and the food even better! Having a one of a kind vegetarian menu this big is amazing. I just wish I was in town more often to try all the things! I was in for lunch a few days ago during a rush when they were short-staffed, and the owners stepped in to handle the surge. We had amazing service. Seriously the best all around.“

“Great family breakfast spot. Can’t eat enough bacon. Thanks Lathaniel for being a wonderful server!“

“It's my 1st time I'll really enjoy the food great location“

“Awesome meal tonight with the whole family and even got to meet the amazing chef Caroline! Our lifeling vegan kiddos loved being able to experience fresh mozzerella sticks and they totally devoured the Mac & Cheese (and they are total vegan mac snobs). The rizotto was perfectly creamy…probably my favorite thing of the night! We love supporting locally owned small (especially vegan!) businesses & Fiction truly knocks it out of the park. Special shout out to Lauren for being so warm & accommodating- hostest with the mostest tonight!Vegetarian options: All vegan.. good to goooooo!“

“I was blown away by the amazing team at Diced! Erica, Micah, Aries, and Charles not only work in great harmony with one another, they were all kind, knowledgeable about the menu options, engaging, and made sure to thank each guest for stopping in. The store was clean and food was fresh (everything looked like it was replenished regularly) and it taste wonderful! This was my first visit, but it most definitely will not be my last!“

“There was a line out the door when we went but it moved reasonably fast. The gelato and the macarons were delicious. We were able to find somewhere to sit even though it was filled to the brim. I would expect to have to take your gelato and go for a downtown stroll on busier days.“

“Yummy and fresh! Great atmosphere!“

“Super tasty and the staff was on point! Highly recommended!“

“I loved this place so much so glad that they have were you can adopt the cats I love this place and miss my last visit“

“I really liked this place. The server was attentive and friendly. The portion sizes are large! I had brussel sprouts, a spiked shake, veggie burger, and truffle fries. The fries were a little too salty for my taste. Overall, I highly recommend this place and would visit again if ever in the area“

“A foodie's delight, Stanbury has set the bar high for any newcomers to the Raleigh food scene. They have some of the freshest seafood I have eaten in the area. They layer complex textures and flavors, and the balance of salt, fat and acid in every dish is near perfect. Their menu rotates, but the standouts during our last visit were the bone marrow, oysters minuet and the steak (when we went it was served with a mole/bbq sauce on the side...mmmm). Stanbury has been our favorite restaurant in Raleigh for over a decade, and I don't see anyone toppling them in the near future.“
