- AAliciaVIPLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhat a beautiful restaurant! The fountain adds a bubbly relaxing vibe, and the staff is incredible, attentive (but not too attentive), polite, and knowledgeable. The manager even came over with a list of local recommendations when they found out we had recently moved to the area which is really above and beyond sentiment to their hospitality. The baguette and cheese appetizer with strawberry preserves and grape grapes was incredible, highly recommend that and the fried artichokes. The ribeye sandwich was delicious too.  I am still thinking about the Schaumburg rosé paired with the baguette and cheese, they were that good! A lovely afternoon and highly recommend. The glass roof is so charming and likely beautiful and a rain storm too!More infoRH Rooftop Restaurant at RH RaleighPrice: Very Expensive• American• Raleigh•4.7

Discover Chapel Hill
As one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, it's no surprise that the restaurant scene keeps heating up in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. These central North Carolina cities are collectively known as the Triangle, and, thanks in part to the number of universities and colleges in the area, there is an abundance of excellent restaurant options. Although essentially every type of international and American cuisine is available, some of the more prevalent options are eclectic Asian, Italian, steakhouse and seafood. Chapel Hill has one of the oldest restaurant and bars known for great hamburgers while an upscale Durham restaurant serves Mexican dishes with a modern touch. Classic southern fare is of course on the menu too.
