    The food was very expensive for the portion sizes but it was fairly tasty. Service was ok. The server was very nice. Be aware that this is one of the restaurants inside the Residence Inn hotel.

    Pretty bad service. Food was good. We were seated at our table quickly, after 15 mins no one had come to say hello, serve water, or anything. My husband had to go find someone. Still took about 5-7mins for someone to bring 1 water glass for the table, not 1 for each of us. When we finally were able to place our drink order we discovered the waiter forgot to even put it in bc he came around a second time 10 mins later asking if we another any other drinks besides a water. Placed food order. Part of it was never received. A different waiter brought our food out, the original waiter never once came to check on us after receiving food. Had to find a manager to get food that wasn’t received. Original waiter said he’d bring us a dessert menu, after 15 mins of waiting we gave up and went to find someone else to tab out. Never got a water refill or asked if we wanted a second drink from the bar. It was our anniversary dinner, wanted somewhere nice to eat, this just wasn’t it.

    This restaurant is in a residence inn. We wish we would have known that before booking. It smelled of industrial cleaner, we were glad we had a patio table but then got bit by mosquitoes. We made it quick and got out of there.

    An excellent place to eat before a show at the Martin Marietta Performing Arts Center. The hostess was very helpful with a question about surrounding locations. The servers were efficient and friendly. Would return in the future.

    The food and service were very good. Table size for 2 on the inside was a little bit smaller than what we anticipated-…..Barely enough room for our entrees however overall dining experience was very nice. We definitely will dine at Overlook again!

    This was a hidden gem for us. Inside a hotel in downtown Raleigh! The food was very good. The Salmon was delicious. I asked for it to be medium rare and it! My husband had the chicken sandwich and was amazed at how moist and fresh it was. Our waiter was Sage and he was very attentive and polite. Overall, a great meal and we hope to return.

    My family and I had a wonderful experience here! Chef Jay (I hope I'm spelling it right) makes some delicious food. We had the burgers and fries and couldn't speak more highly of it. Everything was cooked perfectly, hot, fresh and served quickly. Our waitress was great too although I don't remember her name. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

    We had a great experience at the Overlook for dinner. The food and service were wonderful. Chef Jay visited our table to ensure everything was as expected. Chef Jay’s food was enjoyed by everyone at the table.
