Out on the terrace, the view rolls on for miles--sunset spilling gold across rooftops, city lights flickering on like fireflies once dusk settles in. It's the kind of place where you lean back in your chair, sip something cold and clever, and say, "Well now, this ain't too bad at all." The décor walks a fine line between polished and playful: clean-lined furniture, soft neutral tones, and just enough brass and glass to catch the light in all the right ways. It's modern, sure--but not in a cold, standoffish way. More like it got dressed up for the evening but still knows how to laugh at a good story. Their papas bravas show up like they've got a little swagger--golden potato wedges, crisped up just right on the outside and fluffy as a cloud where it counts. Then comes that roasted tomato sauce, rich and a little smoky, hanging out in the backround, waiting patiently to be introduced to the potatoes. And just when you think you've got it figured out, along drifts the aioli--cool, creamy, and smooth-talking--balancing the whole thing out like a charm. The albondigas might look like your standard meatballs at first glance, but don't let 'em fool you--they've got a little mischief tucked inside. Light as a whisper (seriously, how are they this fluffy?), they practically melt the moment you give 'em a nudge with your fork. They're lounging in a rich marinara that's got that slow-simmered, "somebody's nonna would approve" kind of depth, while a snowfall of parmesan settles on top like it knew exactly where it belonged all along. And onto the jackfruit barbacoa tacos, they roll in like they've got a story to tell--slow-simmered, deeply seasoned, and just a little unexpected. The jackfruit pulls apart in tender, saucy strands that swear they used to be something else, soaking up all that bold, smoky barbacoa flavor like it was born for the job. Then comes that grilled pineapple-jalapeño salsa--sweet, smoky, and just spicy enough to keep you on your toes. It's a little tropical, a little fiery, and entirely too charming for its own good. Just when things start heating up, the cilantro lime crema slides in smooth and cool, like it's here to keep the peace. Whether you're there for a slow cocktail at golden hour or a lively night under the stars, the whole place hums with that easy, slightly quirky grace that makes you want to stay just a bit longer than you planned. Cheers! read more

Really nice rooftop bar at the Residence Inn hotel. The views are great, and we went on a night when it wasn't too crowded so the vibes were great. It was also the night of a complimentary wine tasting, so we got to enjoy a few wines that were new to us. Also the cocktails were well made and tasty. However, the menu description for the charcuterie board is MAJORLY misleading. The menu clearly states cheese AND meat for $14. However, when we got the bill, we were stuck with a $26 charge and told it's cause we ordered meat and cheese. The staff did not tell us it would be double the price when we ordered, so we had no idea until we cashed out. This put a bit of a damper on what was otherwise a nice visit. The establishment needs to be much more descriptive on the actual pricing and that it's meat OR cheese. Edit to add: I figured out that the discrepancy is due to the QR code menus inside the restaurant. When you scan the code, it takes you to a menu where it is clearly listing the charcuterie board as $14, whereas on their website, the board is listed at $26. The QR code menu needs to be updated to eliminate confusion (and less than ideal experiences) for customers. Also, my original review accidentally cited the location as the Renaissance, but this restaurant is attached to the Residence Inn rooftop. read more

Service was excellent. Lots of staff and everyone was attentive and welcoming. (I really appreciate when people in the hospitality industry are kind, positive, and welcoming...it is so nice to feel welcomed when you treat yourself to a night out!) Great atmosphere with inside and outside rooftop views. Food was ok. Pork bao were disappointing : | as the bao buns were dry and crumbly : ( and not what you normally expect from a Bao. Pork inside was lovely though : ) so I decided to eat the pork and ditch the bun Crab cakes were very good : ) 3 cheese flatbread was solid : | read more

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and we had a great time! The weather was perfect and the views were amazing! The atmosphere was so inviting and relaxing. Every staff member we came in contact with was so friendly and helpful. The chef even came out and answered some questions that we had. We tried the charcuterie board, the buffalo ranch flatbread, and the Thai curry wings. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully! We can't wait to go back! read more

This restaurant is cozy with some seating for dining in. There is also a bar. Our servers were ok but not really personable. The drink that I got looked pretty but I didn't taste or feel any alcohol in it. The jerk tacos were good. The sauce on the tacos was spicy and the fish and Ingredients were fresh. I would get the tacos again. read more

What an overpriced, terrible service restaurant. We had a large party meeting for light bites and drinks and the One seating area that would accommodate us had employees hanging out in the area. Most of the booths had seating for 6, but we had 7. It would have been nice to be comfortable, but instead we were at a high top with no view. Thanks Staff for the 3 of you taking the one area that would have accommodated us. The drinks were flowing pretty good with decent amounts of refills happening. The mezcal drink was good and I had a few of those. They had a few local beers from which to choose, but not much else. The food is another story.... nobody ordered anything crazy (in fact, the menu was pretty limited). But it took about 50 minutes from ordering until everyone got their food. It came out sporadically with the Argentinian Beef Skewers coming out last... with no "bed of greens" and "well done" when asked for Medium. I would only recommend the flatbreads if you're thinking of eating (which I wouldn't) When it was time to pay, I had to seek out our waiter who was hanging out at the main bar inside. It wasn't overly crowded at all, but c'mon... when your'e charging the prices your charging, at lease pretend like it's worth it. They added the 20% tip already for our "large" party, so I guess that's why he didn't give a crap. read more

Great views and ambiance. Nice place to have a nightcap after dinner at The Overlook.

I was looking for a restaurant that offered vegetarian options and views of the city with a casual vibe and prices $15-40 per person. This spot was second in the list based on my criteria, but had better Yelp reviews than the first one on the list. SO, I ended up at 10th and Terrace! Seat yourself (except reserved seating)! The terrace has beautiful views. The staff was very attentive. I had hummus and a flat bread. The wine selection is small but they had all the popular types. Thankfully, it wasn't really crowded so I was able to enjoy the views with minimal distraction. read more

Great food and comfy vibe. Prices are super reasonable. We also weren't rushed out of there.

It has potential, but the food was absolutely horrible. There was no service, just small plates ordered from the bar. Definitely not worth the price. Attached is a pic of the charcuterie board. It was terrible and poor quality. The potatoes were cold and the beer cheese had little hard chunks of what seemed to be charcoal in it. read more

Got together with a few coworkers after work at the rooftop bar just to decompress from the day. We order the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread & the Jerk Fish Tacos with drinks of course! The Flatbread was so good, we reordered a MULTIPLE times! The waiters and waitress were ABSOLUTELY AWESOME & ATTENTIVE! The only down side was they were reserved from 7:30 to close for a social event so we had to leave.... but nevertheless, we spent 2 good hours up there and the view and weather were both amazing as well as it being SUPER clean! We are definitely planning our next outing back to 10th & Terrace. read more

10th & Terrace is part of my rooftop list. I finally got by here to see the views. A nice view of downtown. Nothing much to brag about here. The service was decent but could be better. I felt it was a bit slow. When I arrived there really weren't many customers. We were told we could sit anywhere but waited a bit to be approached. We weren't hotel guests. Just dropping in to kill time since we had already paid for parking down the street. The Espresso Martini was okay. I will likely return but I will stick with a glass of wine. I'm not impressed with the cocktail I had. Besides that, it's a nice rooftop area. The space was clean and the staff seemed pleasant and helpful when she finally approached us. read more

Hung out with my family at 10th and Terrace before my sister's dance competition this past weekend. We ordered variety of drinks and apps before walking across the street to the venue. My boyfriend and I got to hang out for about an hour. I had some of the buffalo chicken flatbread, the Brussels sprouts, and an espresso martini. All were very good. I would definitely recommend this spot on a sunny day! read more

This place was an undiscovered gem to us in downtown Raleigh. We brought three (5 total in our party) of our out-of-town friends here for drinks not really knowing what to expect. We had reservations but didn't need them on a nice fall Monday afternoon. The weather was perfect for the outdoor rooftop seating and the view was spectacular as the sun set over south Raleigh. Staff was great, the appetizer was ok and the drinks were just strong enough to not be considered weak. A great experience with a great view. It gave me a new appreciation for how many trees Raleigh has. read more

There are bathrooms and parking with the hotel. This is located on the 10th floor. So great service but a weird smell in the restaurant, they have quick bites but I also included the room service menu just in case. They had no hot water so no warm drinks were available. Which was a bummer because I wanted a hot toddy. The patio is lovely and there are blankets but I wish they had some heaters so we could have sit out there. Also because like I mentioned earlier there was a bit of a smell in the restaurant. I had the draft margarita. Something was wrong with the drink and it was incredibly salty and sour, which is crazy from me because I love tons of lime and very sour but I could not drink this. Our server was nice and personally made me a new one as she said it did look a bit off. The one she made was much better. My mom has the pumpkin spice White Russian and it was amazing!!! My dad had a regular Black Russian and was happy with it as well. a nice view of the city and very nice service. Just three stars for the weird smell, weird draft drink and no hot water. read more

Stopped in here for a drink and dinner before a concert. The outside area is relaxed and the view is amazing. I ordered a bottled beer and husband ordered the seasonal draft which he was told was a triple Belgian from Neuse River brewing. What he received was some sort of ale. He liked it but would like to have known what he was drinking. I ordered the jerk fish tacos on corn shells. Portion size was good. They were bigger than I expected. They had a bit of kick. I ran out of water and waited a long time on a refill. Husband enjoyed his prosciutto flatbread. Unfortunately we waited a very long time on our check. Barely made the concert in time. Cool spot, but maybe not the place to go if you have time constraints. read more

Tl;dr - beautiful view, good drinks, mediocre food, not the best service, tends to get very crowded. 2.5 stars since it's quite pricey We made reservations for 2 on a Friday at 6:15Pm. We were seated right away, but it took some time to place our order. It was very crowded due to the Lainey Wilson concert and I don't think they had enough servers. Our server left mid shift and didn't tell us, so we were looking around for someone to help. We ordered the prosciutto flatbread which was good, the glazed Brussels sprouts which were not so great (maybe because I expected them to be crispy like most restaurants serve them and these were soggy and very sweet). The cocktails were good. Overall, due to how loud and crowded it was and mediocre service, we give it a 2.5 read more

Complete catfish experience: DO NOT waste your money unless your idea of brunch is paying extra for a basic hotel Continental breakfast at a basic no frills hotel. The reviews and socials hyped this up to be a more upscale brunch. We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was a complete disappointment to say they least. They advertise "a boozy brunch experience" but you are getting basic bottom of the barrel brunch experience. When we arrived, the tables/seating is very tight and awkwardly placed. Also, the buffet is super small. It only has limited options.There's no made to order egg options. They advertise past hors d'oeuvres but they only had one option and came out once and when it did the chicken skewers were ice cold and dry! Not to mention the egg frittata was tasteless and cold, it was like eating styrofoam. We ordered a bottle of champagne for mimosas and when it came out, it wasn't even full bottle. Also, the buffet had limited options, they did not replenish the food and when we asked they replied that they weren't planning on it. And there was still an hour left for brunch and more people were being seated. read more

Really nice rooftop bar and rooftop terrace in downtown Raleigh. Location is pretty prime.  Just next to Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts, and looking down onto downtown Raleigh.  Service was exceptional.  Everyone from table to table servers, to bartenders, were super friendly, helpful, and quick.  Appetizers were delicious too.  We had the Duck Flatbread with Fig, Brie, and Green Onions, Jerk Mahi Mahi Tacos with Fresh Pico, Prosciutto Flatbread with Caramelized Onion, Baby Arugula and Honey Drizzle, Mongolian Ribs & Slaw with Toasted Peanuts, and Roasted Honey Lime Chicken Wings with Garlic Ranch.  Everything was really delicious. A great place for an after work get-together, a small group holiday outing, or just out with friends or family.  Tenth and Terrace (rooftop of Residence Inn Marriott) is definitely a hidden gem.  We'll be back. read more

The atmosphere was breathtaking. Our server was attentive and kind. The food was delicious! At first we didn't think we would be full due to the portion size.

My husband and I came here for his 30th birthday celebration and he was in awe. I was so happy to see his pleased reaction. This was hands down a great night and this spot was sexy.

It was a rough week and hubbie surprised me with a reservation here. It's inside the Marriott hotel. We were seated at the very corner with a direct view of the concert hall. The debutante ball was going on and it was a sight to see everyone dressed in long gowns and tails. Being outside, mild weather, and expertly made martini made a nice end to a tough week. Short weeks always cause a scramble. Forgot to take pictures of the charcuterie board and prosciutto flatbread. Both were very well done and surprisingly filling. Cannot wait to go back! read more

We love this place! Beautiful views and great food. It's a wonderful place for a birthday or a night out.

We had a great evening here before walking to the Theatre next door for a show. It was quiet and cozy but there wasn't quite enough table space for the 4 chairs that were at our table. The service was prompt and the food was delicious. We will certainly be back when we can enjoy outside seating as it is too hot in the year to be on the terrace for long periods. The food was absolutely amazing and our friends had the Sesame Ahi Tuna Tatak and Ceviche (both not pictured). If you're around in the summer you have to get their Artisan Buratta Cheese, it is INCREDIBLE with peaches. read more

Took my husband on a surprise date. The rooftop view was amazing! My husband smiled enjoyed every minute we were there. The waitress was very nice and helped us with our orders. Food is flavorful and soft. If you like a little kick, definitely get the Brisket tacos. Everything planned out exceptionally well for my husband.

After spending a couple of hours at the ice rink around the corner, we needed a snack. My goal was to search for a roof top bar. The fact that this was a few minutes walk and across the street to where we parked our car was fate. Located in a hotel and on the 8th floor. We showed up late in the afternoon, so it was pretty emptied. They have plenty of bar sitting and tables. We decided to check out the terrace to first make sure it wasn't too windy. It was perfect. The view was over looking amazing views and plenty of trees all around. You won't be looking at concrete buildings at this place. The waiter was sweet and so helpful. He let us know that they just started there season menu. The drink menu is where its at. It took me a while to decide, but ended up with Salted butterscotch white Russian. My 2nd choice was, Smoked Honey Manhattan. I took a picture of the menu to later find these recipes online. Later that day, I did find one for the salted butterscotch and I did go the store. It was a hit for the family dinner that night. For the food, we ordered the bacon meatballs. That was delicious and must select. Over all, I would stay here in a heart beat just for that roof top. read more

Looking for a place with a great atmosphere, good drinks and delicious food downtown near the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts or the Convention Center? This rooftop bar at the Residence Inn downtown is smoking! There are bar stools, tables and couches, and an outdoor patio if you are there on a good-weather night. (we were not, as it was rainy and cold, but we were happy at the bar). Do not be in a hurry. Service is on the slow side, but not impossibly so. Husband's drink took time to prepare as he ordered the Smoked Manhattan. The Bartender does indeed light wood chips and smoked it under a dome. Very cool to watch. While he really liked the drink, he did say that the smoky flavor didn't linger past the initial sips. Maybe if they added something with a smoky flavor to the drink itself? Meanwhile, I was happy with my Cabernet. We were both quite hungry. It took awhile to get our Bartender's attention again, but we finally did ask to order food. Would have preferred to be asked. Once we did order though, our selections didn't take too long. We shared the Smoked Jerusalem Artichoke Dip with Crostini and the Fried Green Tomato Sliders with Bacon. Both were really really good. We ran out of Crostini before we ran out of the fabulous dip, so we ordered some more. They did charge $3 for the extra bread, but it was worth it to not waste any of that dip. With the nice atmosphere, great view, friendly staff, very good food and good drinks, we are looking forward to going back for more. So convenient to the Performing Arts Center that is adjacent across the street! read more

Not many food choices. The outside space on the terrace was not that great as it shows in the pictures.

Great views, comfortable atmosphere, yummy sharables and drinks. Service was friendly but a little slow.

Cute rooftop or indoor spot for a quick meal or for a round of cocktails. The location provides a beautiful view of downtown Raleigh.
