Not good service.... asked for medium cooked meat got rare... had to wait for drinks... asked for more bread got it but no butter...asked for butter never got it. Had to wait 35 minutes for our table even with a reservation. Won’t be going there again.

Enjoyed an early Fathers Day dinner last night and the meal was extraordinary as usual. The service atmosphere and attention to detail has not missed a step during the Covid restrictions. Sharing accolades to the entire staff but especially to our server Jason.

I took my mom here when she was in town visiting and it was the highlight of her trip. The staff was top notch and we were able to see to the kitchen where all the magic happens. The steak was great and the scallops delicious. This was far and away the best meal I've had in Raleigh from app to dessert!
