Best restaurants near me in Raleigh, NC

Some of the best service we have had in a very long time. Food very tasty and the view was lovely. When back in town, we will visit again.

I really enjoyed my burger and fries at Overlook. I loved how they gave me 2 patties instead of 1 on my burger. Not only was my food so good, but it was hot and fresh too. I love the sweet tea too. The waiter in which I don't recall her name, but she is a brunette, she made something to put in my sweet tea to make it sweeter. I did not know that this restaurant was located inside of a hotel which makes me want to visit even more. I loved how my needs and my friends needs were met while we were there. I got a chance to try a girlfriend of mine chicken Alfredo pasta and I must say that I wanna try that dish when I come back. It was really good and the thing of it is, they give you really good portions when it comes to your food.

Our host was amazing and had fun with us. He was knowledgeable and made our visit spectacular.

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!

great atmosphere and terrific service by Noela. We had a late afternoon family party and it was enjoyable. The Pizza and salads were very good but 2 of us were disappointed with our sandwiches being more bread than chicken. we would go again!
