"This was a really nice restaurant, however it was way over priced. Was it a good steak? YES,. Was the steak worth $80.00, not at all. I have had Ribeye just as good for $50-60. Was the Beef Wellington good? Yes, but the wellington I had on my Carnival Cruise (Mardi Gras) in June was so much better. For that one, I would pay $70, not for this one. Was the bread good? It was ok, but 4 rolls for 7 bucks? Especially when you need a ton of better to make it YUMMY. Texas Roadhouse, Red Lobster and Longhorn serves better tasting bread and it is free. The Apps (Mac, potatoes, creamed collards) I can not even speak about. Not worth my time... at all. If I ever dined there again (and it would have to be because someone gave me a gift card), I would just get the steak. What I can say was the service was excellent and the complimentary dessert as you leave was very nice touch. (and it was very tasty) I say, if you have the money, and you want a really good steak with a good atmosphere and service and you live in Raleigh, then this is your place to go. But if you are celebrating your birthday, there are MANY other places you can go where at least they will truly value you and show you they are happy you chose them for your celebration."

"Great place. Owned by Trophy Brewing. You can hit their 12 taps of rotating beer or get something from the fridge. The atmosphere is really nice. I would think this place would appeal to tourists to try many different kinds of NC beer."

"This was our second visit and we found it as delightful as the first. We had mentioned it was our anniversary and loved being surprised with glasses of bubbly. Our server was friendly and efficient. All the dishes are excellent. We enjoyed the Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert. It's a cozy spot for couples, all ages, and families. We will be back."

"My husband and I went on New Years Eve and had a great meal! We tried their meatball special of the evening which happened to be a pizza meatball and we also tried the buffalo chicken meatballs. You can customize your meal to whatever your heart desires meat, sauce, cheese, and whatever you want the meatball served over (different pastas, veggies, risotto, mac cheese). Our server was friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. We were about minutes early for our reservation and they got us right in when we arrived. They have an impressive list of whiskey, scotch, and craft beer too. I'd highly recommend going here for a casual date night on the more affordable side. :"

"Even though this restaurant is an hour away from our home, it 's been our special occasion go to restaurant for years. We 've brought our parents here and purchased gift cards for our friends. I love the selection of creative vegan entrees, relaxed art house atmosphere, and live music. We 've always received friendly service and enjoyed our food in the past. This evening, for the first time in my life (at any restaurant), I sent back an entree. I was nearly in tears because I feel so guilty about wasting food. The replacement dish I received was even worse--what was advertised as pad thai turned out to be mushy noodles drenched in what tasted like rice vinegar, hastily topped with carrots and green beans. My husband tasted it and his face said it all. His words were borderline inedible. We were disappointed with the food, but we understand that on a busy Saturday night, mishaps with food can occur. Between us we have 30 years ' experience working in restaurants and have been confronted with many situations like this ourselves. What happened next turned our disappointment to anger: a manager came to our table with check in hand, apologized coldly, and seemed to think that comping the two meals I couldn 't eat had been a magnanimous gesture. She did offer us dessert, which I guess was a nice thought but not a substitution for dinner. I 'm giving a second star because my husband said his short ribs were very good, as was the appetizer. All said, we 're out $70 and I still haven 't had dinner. Side note: we advise purchasing bottled options if you 're a beer drinker. My husband is a professional brewer by trade and every draft beer from here has been flat and displayed off flavors. He knows what these beers are supposed to taste like, and it seems to be an issue with the draft system. Also, our entrees appeared about 5 minutes after we ordered them, which doesn 't seem like enough time for making things to order. Since writing this, it 's come to our attention that these changes are likely due to new ownership of the restaurant. The lack of hospitality combined with the lower quality food is sure to alienate their most loyal patrons, including us."
