   I took my husband here for his birthday. We enjoyed everything from the time we were greeted at the door until we left. The service & food were exceptional. Our server Matthew was very knowledgeable, engaging, and ensured we had a great experience. The decor was also very unique, adding to the sophisticated ambiance. I suggest including East End Bistrot to your list of restaurants to try in Raleigh. We will definitely be back.

   Excellent dinner at East End Bistrot tonight with fantastic service. The filet mignon was cooked and seasoned perfectly - the best steak I’ve had in Raleigh! The gratin dauphinois were absolutely amazing! And the Guava vanilla bean cheesecake was a delicious ending. I definitely recommend and will be back!

   Overall we had an enjoyable experience at East End. When writing this review we felt the need to look at it through the lens of their pricing, as it’s one of the most expensive restaurants in town. Pros: + Entrees were delicious (Filet, Pheasant, Sea Bass, Steak au poivre (though this was a bit tough)) + Very attentive and accommodating service, from the entire staff (hostesses, waiter, the sommelier interaction was a pleasure) + Ambience, at least on the outside terrace was enjoyable. On the downside, the appetizers and desserts weren’t quite as good. The $20 Caesar salad in particular had hardly any flavor at all… Comparisons: We enjoyed this more than (the also very pricey) Herons in the Umstead. Herons felt like they were trying to be a high end NYC restaurant, but not being able to deliver the quality all around. East End does a better job of this in our opinion, though mainly with the entrees. Compared to a couple of one-star Michelin restaurants we went to on a recent Europe trip (one in Paris, one in Amalfi coast) we actually preferred East End versus Joel Robuchon in Paris. But our biggest question mark was the value for money category. It felt like everything was priced about $10 more than it deserved to be (on average). Overall, the dining experience does make us interested in coming back to try it again, but the pricing/value makes us hesitant to do so.

   Food was very good. Servers were very attentive. Great wine selection. Only draw back would be the variety of menu options (if going for a second or third time).
