TOO MUCH HYPE – I just do not understand what the big deal is about this place. the food is so incredibly bland that it reminded me of a cafeteria. i had a chicken dish, and I could not distinguish any sort of flavor at all. the spinach dip was great, but so is TGIF's.....I dont think i would ever go back there unless i had to.
Excellent Service – My husband and I went on a busy Friday night a few weeks ago. We took advantage of the complimentary valet parking - which was excellent! We unfortunately did not have a reservation, so the hostess told us it would be about an hour wait. I did ask her about reservations, she told me that we can even make reservations online! (We'll do that for next time) We were told we could wait in the bar area downstairs, and that there was also a nice little bar upstairs we could wait at, too. So we went to wait up th... read more
JUST OK – I dined at 518 with a group the other night having a celebratory dinner and it was just ok. Our waitress never introduced herself or welcomed us to the restaurant instead she started taking drink orders and somehow skipped myself. When I finally got her attention about missing my drink order it took about twenty-five minutes to get the drink! After about fourty-five minutes of sitting we had our order taken. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time with only one person from our group not getting their entre... read more
My Old Faithful – I got hooked on 411 West while I was a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, and I was so glad to discover that I could live in Raleigh and have my 411 too in the form of its sister restaurant, 518. This place has become our old standby - the place where we go when we want a great meal, great wine, great service, and don't want to take any chances. I've never had a meal there that wasn't delicious. I love their wine menu - kudos to the sommelier for not being too snobby to include North Carolina wines on the list. An... read more
My friends love to come to this place and I think it does not beat out Mellow Mushroom. Over-rated in my opinion. The last time we were there the computers were down and we were quoted 30 minutes and afte and hour and a half of waiting I convinced my friends to eat somewhere else. For being Italian food, the service should be quicker
A taste of sophisticated Italy at modest prices in Glenwood South. – In Short The noise level is energetic, but the space is segmented enough for easy conversation. Brick warehouse walls and a sleek wood bar greet guests upon arrival, while two floors of intimate tables line Venetian plaster walls. Pizzas coming out of the traditional wood-fired brick oven are topped with inventive items such as salsa or squash--or the stand-bys of pepperoni or mushrooms. Spaghetti bolognese is slathered in homemade marinara and satisfying I... read more
518 Has great food and atmosphere – I had a Pasta dish at 518 on this last visit and it was really good. It did take quite a while before our waiter ever arrived - I would say 10 minutes at the table before we even got water or silverware. Once the food came though, all was forgotten. I think they have a good menu with variety and at a reasonable price. 518 is an old warehouse type building and is very comfortable and airy. If you want to impress your boss or preacher, try reserving the table next to the lion-head fountain. ... read more
I enjoyed myself.... – I was very pleased with my boyfriend and I's date last night at the 518 Off Glenwood South. The Spinach dip was wonderful and full of flavor and I was pleased. The presentation was very very up to standard and so was the flavor in all of our meal. Bread before your meal really says something about a restaurant and the bread was wonderful. It is very properly priced and affordable. I had one of the best portabellas of my life there last night. I was pleased and will go back again. I am quite suprised wi... read more
Bad service, sarcastic attitude – My husband and I stopped by about 10:00 one night for dessert and we waited for the hostess and she FINALLY came. We sat down and it took so long for someone to come wipe off the table, I did it myself. The bartender finally came to help us, but by that point, we were on our way out the door. I happened to see the manager and told him about it and he was sarcastic.
