"TLDR: Good food, bad service, double charged one person on a 50/50 split check and denied doing it regardless of a bank statement to the contrary. I had dinner here last week on 5/23 and I didn 't have the best experience. First of all the food was pretty damn stellar, credit where credit is due whoever they 've got in the kitchen is very good at what they do. Should you find yourself here the BLT flatbread is incredible which is a shame as I definitely will not be returning. The service was just abysmal. My party of 5 people was there for just under 2 hours and our waitress went missing several times. As in she 's nowhere to be found and we were ready to order an appetizer, or more drinks or our entrees. On one particular occasion she was behind the bar and all five of us were looking directly at her and she happily ignored us and continued to carry on her conversation with the bartender. It wasn 't the worst service I 've ever had but as highly regarded and recommended Farm Table is to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. But in this day and age I 've come to expect mediocre service, so long as the food is good I don 't complain and I very rarely leave a bad review. In this case however I cannot let this one lie. The bill for the 5 of us came out to $295.25 which was split 50/50 between myself and my father leaving two checks for $147.62 and 147.63 respectively. I was handed the check for $147.62 and paid with card, my father left $200 in cash in his receipt. Seeing as the service had been not so stellar we elected to leave the change from his cash as a tip and I signed my receipt with cash written on the tip line and the total on my receipt being $147.62. We then left. Fast forward a few days while looking through my bank statement I discovered that I had been charged for both amounts. Obviously I figured this was in error and that there had been some mistake and being a business owner myself I know that things happen and humans are human so I decided to give them the opportunity to make it right. So I drove out to Farm Table yesterday 5/30 and asked to speak to a manager and was introduced to a gentleman named Todd. After explaining what happened and even showing him a bank statement reflecting the charges he seemed dismissive and unbelieving. He asked me to email him the statement and that he would look into it. I then went home. Upon checking my email this morning I was greeted with exactly what I expected to see; Flat out denial. He attached pictures of an audit sheet showing what we had and how it was charged and told me to take it up with my bank. So here is what I think happened, the waitress saw cash on the tip line and assumed that her service had been so amazing that she deserved a $200 tip. So she put the cash in her pocket and ran my card a second time. I have no way to prove this, but this is my suspicion based on the facts of the situation. I 'm not going to mention the waitress by name but I 'm sure she will be shown this review. I have attached screenshots showing where I was charged for both bills and their audit print out. I just think it 's interesting that I was charged for both amounts down to the penny. When I went to Farm Table yesterday all I wanted was the second charge refunded, which is what I would have done in this situation had I been in Todd 's shoes. His dismissiveness and lack of concern for what is tantamount to theft is the reason that I will not be returning. Nor will I edit this review unless I am given a full refund including the $200 in cash."

"Lunch was good and served fast. Decent sized shrimp and hot tasty bread sticks. Refills were always on time. Service was great. The environment needs attention. The bathroom is in poor shape and had some kind of perma-puddle in the floor. The carpet smells like ancient restaurant funk. Corporate needs to put some effort into a PROFRESSIONAL deep clean (hire a company. don't make back-of-house and servers come in at 6AM to scrub). Replace the grimy fixtures and rip out that nasty carpet. I am sure the kitchen is worse."

"I rarely leave restaurant reviews but feel like I need to stop everything to leave one for Bodega in Wake Forest. My husband and I ate dinner there last night and the food, service, and atmosphere were amazing! We shared six small plates and a dessert and this was plenty of food for us. The wait staff was so attentive. The ambience was cozy and dark but not stuffy. I cannot remember a time where I have left a restaurant and just felt wowed . We compared it to another recent restaurant experience where we paid a similar amount (for very sub-par food) and decided we would never go to that restaurant again. Bodega has really moved the bar for us. Please support this restaurant as it is so apparent that their food is crafted to perfection."

"I was searching for something enjoyable to munch on in my room, as many restaurants would be closed for Thanksgiving the next day. That's when I discovered Charlie's and decided to grab a Mediterranean salad. Once I returned to my hotel and tasted it, I was delighted by how delicious it was. The indoor seating area had a warm and inviting atmosphere as well. The staff were friendly and greeted customers with cheerful smiles. Additionally, I noticed they offer lunch specials every day except Sundays. If you're in the Wake Forest area, I highly recommend stopping by Charlie's Kabob Grill for some fantastic Mediterranean cuisine!"

"Slow service. The staff claimed they were backed up. There were a lot of people waiting inside the restaurant to pick up their orders. The app said my order would be ready at 7:05pm. Instead, I waited until 7:30pm. The restaurant could have provided complimentary drinks to the waiting customers. But they made us wait hungry and thirsty. To add insult to injury, the staff couldn’t speak English properly. When my order finally arrived, they insisted that I provide my name before they would give it to me. They butchered my name with their atrocious pronunciation. I will not be coming back and I will not recommend this place."
