I found Garden Bar here on Yelp and went on a Saturday. They are not too crowded and the bar is…read morenear the front. Great prices for a nice mimosa or beer to enjoy while shopping and you get to keep the cute cup. The staff were all extremely helpful and guided me through their greenhouse helping me find things that suited my needs. They had a private party in a room off to the side that is semi-private. I could see a bit and it was very cute and a nice size for hosting. There were not many plants outside on the front and the greenhouse was nicely stocked but not full. So some may consider the selection a bit small, but it was still nice. They had tons of beautiful pottery and lots of supplies to also choose from. The prices on some of the plants seemed high for other places in the area I've seen the same or similar. I would definitely come back!

Outside has a good amount of sitting and plenty of shade. I've been enjoying trying their monthly specialty drinks. I also like how there are non dairy milk options. There is also a few book clubs, which is cool. Parking feels limited at first but I've learned that you can park in the back back on the grass or the the left side going into the back.

Perfectly fine coffee shop that's totally a house…read more Charming set-up on a strip of road where homeowners are obsessed with the American flag. It's 1776 over there. Parking seems like it would be nonexistent on a busy day. I was there at noon on a Sunday. I like how they straight up turned a house into a shop. I like how it was so peaceful inside and outside. I like their event schedule. I like the focus on books. I like the ultra fast wifi and nice pastries. What I'm no fan of is the very obvious target market of moms, leaving me feel a bit left out. It's super in-your-face. But hey, I guess stay-at-home mothers need stuff to do too. Can't see myself returning, so I wish them all the luck in the world. Best, A.

What a lovely venue with so much to look at. Lots of China, lots of floral decorations, just a lot…read more But it works! Four of us came for brunch on a Sunday. We made a reservation, which was honored in a timely fashion. Comfortable seating, socially distanced. The brunch menu is very limited--4entree choices. We had them all: croissant egg sandwich, quiche, hotcakes, and biscuits and gravy. I was disappointed with my quiche since I do not like potatoes and it was full of them. That ingredient was left off the menu description. I had the biscuits and gravy instead, okay but gravy was not very hot. Unlimited mimosa combinations, hot tea in several flavors available, (no lemon or milk), coffee, iced tea, and soft drinks round out the beverage selection. Hot tea is served in tiny China teacups, very elegant. I'd love to return for "high tea." There is a gift shop located throughout the first floor everything from teas and coffees to Nancy's candy to greeting cards. A bakery too! Fabulous older home which is an excellent choice for weddings, baby showers, girls brunch, etc. We met both the husband and wife owners--really nice people. Our wait staff were beautiful women and did a fine job. The kitchen seemed slow, but if you're not in a rush and with good friends catching up, this is no problem. We plan to return for a Tuesday evening wine tasting. Hours are expanding in March 2022. Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! We'll be back!

Let me tell you, this Mac N Cheese is noteworthy, absolutely delicious!!!! I had the Ham and swiss with honey mustard, YUM! And while I was add it, $5 mimosas were offered so I grabbed a cranberry...why not?!?! I picked egg salad as the side and the kids meals came with a dessert of the day....Sprinkled CAKE POPS!

I got the raspberry lemon drop which was executed very well. The spicy asian voodoo wings as a starter were a good choice and very flavorful but not at all spicy. We then ordered the creole pasta, pub burger, and grilled pork chops for entrees. I would highly recommend the pub burger it was delicious!! The creole pasta was good but definitely could have used more of that creole spice and flavor. The grilled chops we had to send back because they were over cooked and just tasted way too charred. But once they brought out the new chops they were good and the mashed potatoes and veggies were delicious that came with it. We then got dessert and ordered the beignets and the deep dish apple pie. If you go here you definitely need to get the apple pie!! It was so good even though it's actually served cold. (Take it home and warm it up) the beignets came out pretty brown but they were perfect. All in all had a great experience. Our server was really nice and we had fast service. I'll definitely be back to try some more items on their menu

I discovered Lump Gallery when trying to track down the new Flanders location during this past…read moremonths First Friday events. I'm still a little unsure if Flanders and Lump have technically combined or are just renting out of the same space, either way, you really can't go to one of the galleries without going to the other. This is due to the fact that they are literally connected to one another, go through the Lump gallery door on the left, horseshoe around the building and you'll come out through the Flanders door. I wouldn't make Lump a destination gallery, even during First Friday, as it's awkwardly out of the way (think past Lincoln theater side of Raleigh) and it's tiny. During my visit they were showcasing two artists in Lump (I believe) and they had a balloon exhibit next door at Flanders. DO go to Lump on First Friday if you're looking for a free drink, beer and wine is complementary, although please bring money for tips. DO go to Lump if you want to see something unusual, although you'll probably be able to see it and process it in less then five minutes as the space restricts it to be small. DO go to Lump if it's First Friday, during the SUMMER, and you want to enjoy the nice North Carolina weather, but please, if walking, go with someone, the neighborhood gets a little sketchy the closer you get.

Everything went splendidly until UPS was sneaky and repackaged when they broke a bottle. Didn't say anything. How they broke it with all the bubble wrap and packaging materials. How they repackaged would not have survived even across town. Bethany at Midtown got a replacement bottle shipped right away. Your service is great. Your product is better than your competition in Raleigh. I say "competition," but their product is inferior. Thank you, Bethany and Midtown Olive Oil. From a raving fan.
