My husband & I went to a Dueling Piano back home (MI) and wanted to try one here. Definitely different than what we expected; very high energy. The 2 negatives are...the more $ you give to request a song, the quicker it gets played. When they should toggle between request regardless of the amount. So, my husband's song was played & mines wasn't 😌. Second, it's a good thing you are allowed to bring food in, because the bathroom had no soap🤢. I can just imagine!! But other than that, we would probably return.

Attended a tea event at East Cafe, and it was an absolute delight! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was beyond expectations—beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The cucumber mint cilantro tea sandwich was my favorite savory option, and the lavender honey scone was so delicious. But the real highlight was the tea itself—a true experience that showcased quality and tradition. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in a unique and memorable tea event! Had the best time catching up with old friends, and can’t wait to bring my mom for the Mother’s Day tea event.

This was our first time at this local Wake Forest Mexican restaurant. Inside the restaurant is rather dark and macabre portraying scary masks and mannequin heads that look eerie. There was a good selection of menu items, and the waitress, Kendal, was very knowledgeable and helpful on explaining the many different choices. Service was excellent, the restaurant even had an automated food delivery robot to tables that were accessible. The food was very good; portions were the right size and attractively presented There were 5 ( two boys, three adults) in our party and the average cost per person was $30 which included the tip. We only ordered two beers. Rather expensive for Mexican food but I guess that food delivery robot expense has to be covered someway.

Server was attentive and high energy. Was too warm in the restaurant… maybe the a/c is struggling? The wings were delish, the entrees and dessert we had weren’t anything memorable. Was a birthday outing for my daughter that kinda disappointed overall/
