Restaurants near Greater Raleigh Convention And Visitors Bureau

One of my favorite restaurants - form the kind and attentive staff to the out of this world flavors, Bida never disappoints!!

My dining companion and I had a great time. Gravy was very accommodating in answering our questions about the menu, even to provide a taste of a sauce (sorry, gravy) or change the gravy that was to be provided on a particular dish. That is going the extra ladle. Our waitress was knowledgeable to suggest wine to pair with our dishes. And then the food - upper level for taste and texture, really a delight. Do not, I repeat do not skip dessert. So often dessert is an afterthought, but a Gravy it truly caps the meal. Well done, and bravo for this wonderful gastronomic getaway.

Great experience! The food is great! Whenever I try something new, I have never been disappointed.

The FOOD is extraordinary. I am not vegan, but we have now visited a second time FDR on out of town within three months. That’s pretty good, I’d say. With tip, we broke $200 easily. The Tuscan artichoke dish was too spicy. But, onion rings!!!! Hot damn! And, chix sand and Filly cheezstak and shroom hoagie were stellar! Peanut butter pie and apple pie with ice cream were priced high, but I swam in double the sea of tranquility and delight! Three words: DEE LISH US!!! While our waitress was more than a bit absentee for most of the evening, another server or server assistant took my order for my second beer. And, SHE asked on status a couple of times. We had to ask our server for our one water refill. These seem small, and as it was a mini-reunion we were quite chatty, but what “got my goat” was the bringing of the check without asking for dessert orders. It was then that we asked for water refills to our glasses. This ninety-minute “second glass of water” action is very likely not policy. Anyway, some managerial training will sort out the five steps of service, but if she had some place to be before they even closed then I wasn’t please with her. STILL, I doubled the suggested 23% tip. Sixty bucks for two hours! You have to take care of people and lead the way. #nottobepetulant Looking forward to our next visit AND to Marian, a NEW sister restaurant!

Wonderful food took my family before my son’s graduation!!
