Rhett's RestaurantOne of the very best in the area.Absolutely loved it, we have lived in the area for 4 yrs and it was our 1st visit. That was a huge mistake. The food is wonderful and how they focus on local NC produce and beers was very well received. The menu is not overwhelming and portions are ample. Chef Rhett goes out of his way to stop by and engage with all the tables. Can't say enough.....if you are in the area, make reservations and enjoy. Next time we will make sure to reserve outdoor seating to enjoy the local music in the pavilion.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMA perfect eveningWe sat outside in a weather perfect evening surrounded by great music (Tim Wilson). The food was wonderful, fresh and healthy . The service impeccable. A great way to celebrate a birthday ! Thank you Rhett....always enjoy your restaurant.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMRhett's is a perfect choiceWe recently had Rhett's cater for a party. The neighbors loved the food. A few hadn't been to the restaurant. We took 2 other couples out with us. The weather was perfect, we sat outside. Enjoyed live music. Rhett came over a few times to check in on us. And the food is wonderful. The menu is with local grown products. I list the "tastes" menu so you can try a few more items, like small plates. And although it is summer, still enjoy the lobster bisque. Bon Appetit!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMDinner Out with the GirlsWe had a table of 9, great service, great food, will do it again!5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMCarolina Special!If you want local Carolina fare, Rhett's is the place to go. All three meals at our table were outstanding, but my shrimp and grits specialty was just out of this world. What a gem of a meal! Funky and fun little wine list. And Rhett himself stops by to chat about his food. Just a wonderful time and highly recommended.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Southern GourmetWonderful outdoor dining in their courtyard. Rhett stopped by the table personally multiple times to check on our group of 8. He truly takes the guest experience personally and it shows in the food and service. Try the southern chicken cordon blue or Rhett's take on shrimp and grits. The sides are also awesome. Locally sourced and fresh. We'll be back!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat outdoor spotNice menu - delicious food and great sweet potato fries! Wonderful list of fresh juices.

I highly recommend it.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMMy first time at Rhett's (afterMy first time at Rhett's (after having sampled their appetizers at a private function the evening )but won't be my last. Upscale Southern cuisine with very interesting menu. I had the Hoe Cakes and swordfish special which were both excellent. I can also attest to the scallop appetizer and really had a hard time deciding on an entree. The wine list isn't large but had something for every taste and budget. They had live music in the courtyard which was very nice and soft enough not to be intrusive. Great experience overall.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent. Food seems toExcellent. Food seems to be sourced locally and the owner/chef was there and spoke with people at every table.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AM
