    The restaurant is well decorated and a relaxing environment to be in. The food was great and flavorful. Their congee was very flavorful, which was a pleasant surprise because the dish is usually very mild in flavor. The banana cake was delicious!

    I love brewery bhavana! I hadn't been to this location before and I wasn't disappointed. This location is smaller, so I recommend making a reservation beforehand. Luckily, we were able to sit at the bar. Their gluten free options are excellent, and they are great about asking you if you have any allergies. Our drinks were delicious. The service was excellent, filled our water frequently and asked if we needed anything. The portions for food are good. The table next to us did have room for a stroller if you happen to bring kids. The space is clean and decorated nicely.

    Location: 5 Service: 5 Drinks: 5 Food: 3 Value: 4 My spouse and I have been to the downtown location and wanted to give this one a try as it's a bit closer to our house and we lIke Fenton in general! This location has bit more limited menu and seems to cater more to cocktails and dim sum. Still, we enjoyed a Friday night date night that included their golden espresso martini (one of my fav espresso martinis around) and pisco sour (also very good!). We had crab Rangoon and another option, as well as shared an entree. The appetizers were a bit better than the main, as the chicken wasn't quite the best - the consistency was just a little off. For the price, as this is meant to very much be more of an elevated dining experience, I was a bit let down. But overall we left feeling very satisfied, and would definitely return! I think we'd likely do pre dinner drinks here and maybe check out dinner at another one of one great options in Fenton!

    This was my first time visiting the Cary location after a short shopping trip at Fenton. It's located right on the corner near the parking lot for easy access to parking, plenty of outdoor seating, and such a cute location for a date night, girls night out, or any chill vibe you're going for. When I visited, I came really hungry but I left more than satisfied. My bartender (Sorry I forgot her name!) took excellent care of me. I love taking myself on solo dates and indulging in cuisines with no rush to be anywhere and she made the visit even better. I'm an Old Fashioned drinker, but I was nervous because of the sesame, but I trusted my bartender, and tried the Black Sesame Old Fashioned, and Sheesh! It did not disappoint! She made that drink to perfection! Perfect blend of sweetness while maintaining that original base of a traditional old fashioned. I ordered from the Dim Sum menu only (more than enough). I had the PORK & CHIVE SHUMAI and CHAR SIU BAO and they bursted with flavors just as I remembered from the location in Raleigh. I wish I had more room in my stomach to keep going with the Big Plates but I moved on to dessert instead and finished it off with the ROASTED BANANA CAKE SLICE. It was just enough. The cream cheese combined with the caramel icing sealed the banana flavor together to make a perfect dessert to finish my meal but not without grabbing one more Sesame Old Fashioned Haha! But I totally appreciate my bartender for keeping me hydrated with some water throughout my meal. Can't wait to return and try the other dishes on the menu in addition to experiencing the excellent customer service.

    As a big fan of their downtown location, I was excited to check out their new Fenton location. The interior is small and filled with natural light. We were greeted upon arrival and seated right away indoors. Additional seating is available outside on the patio. Our server was welcoming, patient, and funny. He introduced us to the restaurant and checked in on us throughout the meal. The menu is short, we chose the edamame ginger dumplings ($15.80), chocolate caramel turtle cake ($12.80), and a blackberry mocktail. Each thing we ordered we enjoyed. It is a little pricy, but reasonable for the quality and location. I do prefer the downtown Raleigh location better, however, this location is an elegant spot for casual and romantic gatherings.

    Yum! Just as great as the downtown location, and service was fast and friendly-- which works as this location is smaller and people are packing themselves inside. The Bao, dumplings, and general tso chicken were all great! The cocktails are fantastic and I'm partial to "the cure." Cheers!

    We decided to check out Brewery Bhavana at Fenton. We went in the evening on a Saturday and the place was rightfully packed, but we were able to get a seat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Beautifully decorated space with nice lighting / large windows looking out at the North Carolina trees. Beer was very good. Food was tasty and came out reasonably fast! I had the general Tso chicken, Napa cabbage rolls, and banana cake. No regrets!

    Cool place to hang out! They have out door seating that opens up to a grassy courtyard. Started off with cold beer, it is a brewery! I got a Glean, crisp with a touch of fruit, very good. We ate outside and it was perfect! I'm a tequila guy, so I got the Oaxaca Old Fashioned and the Black Sesame Old Fashioned, both were very good. We had 4 for dinner so we went tapas style (small plates). For starters we got Crab Rangoon, char Siu Bao, Duck Egg Rolls, Cabbage Rolls. Bigger dishes we got General TSO Chicken and Sweet Soy Chicken, very good. It was perfect for 4 adults. Service was great! Cheers!

    This place is EXCELLENT! First things first, the food was great. The stars of the show were the sesame chili noodles with bamboo and tofu skin and the chicken curry bao. Both were so flavorful and well cooked. Perfect ambiance with vining pothos hanging from the ceiling and prompt service. I had made a mistake with my reservation and called them 10 minutes before I was supposed to be there, and the staff member I spoke with was very helpful and accommodating! Would recommend getting a reservation if you go especially if it's on the weekend. Since it's a dim sum place, I would recommend getting several dishes to share with the table. It is not inexpensive (ended up being around $55 per person for 4 small plates, a salad, a noodle dish, and dessert) but a lovely spot for a group meal in a very nice part of town.

    The newest addition to Fenton offers a great selection of beer and dim-sum for Caryites! Brewery Bhavana Fenton is a smaller, cozier version of the original space in Raleigh. Light and bright inside, the open dining room and patio out front gives you some options for seating. The menu is still being developed given they have just opened but has the usual bao, dumplings, and larger plates from the original. The taste is pretty authentic with some slight twists. Service is excellent and they check in on you frequently to clear plates, etc. I'll keep an eye on the place and see how it evolves after opening week!

    Lets just say it was so disappointed. The bao and dumplings are worse than the ones you could get at hmart or other Chinese groceries. The bamboo and cucumber salad also a miss. There is nothing to it. The drink is ok. It has some herb flavor to it so abit unique. The peking duck is the best of all. Crispy and not so much fat. But the portion is small.

    This is one of those places that has some of the best food and such a cool vibe. I have gone here twice now and every time the food and service is amazing. It's nice because their tapas is perfect for trying different things. I especially love thier Golden Milk Espresso made with corn milk. Trust me on this one it is good!

    Pharmacy Bottle + Beverage nails the balance between neighborhood hangout and serious beer…read moredestination without ever feeling pretentious. The tap selection is honestly impressive -- taps galore with an ever-changing lineup that makes every visit feel a little different. I also love that you can enjoy a pint onsite and then wander over to the bottle shop side to grab some gems to take home. Dangerous for my wallet, fantastic for my fridge. The outdoor patio is spacious, relaxed, and full of happy people and happy dogs. Cary can always use more genuinely dog-friendly spots, and this place embraces it completely. Pups lounging under tables while their humans work through flights? Come for one beer, leave with a mixed 6-pack and at least three new dog friends.

    We stopped by Pharmacy Bottle recently on a night out and enjoyed our experience there…read more First, parking was a little tricky since it was the weekend and the street spots in Downtown Cary were mostly occupied, but we managed to find a paid parking spot nearby :) Not ideal, but oh well! Inside, it was pretty spacious, with a couple of couches, a few tables, and of course the bar seating. I saw multiple customers walking around with their dogs, so I'd say Pharmacy is dog-friendly. The bartender was attentive throughout, and I thought the draft beers were very reasonably priced. The selection on draft was only OK, but that's more based on personal preference, I guess :) Pharmacy also had a bunch of cans available for sale, some refrigerated and some not (presumably based on the type of beer). There was an additional fee if you chose to buy a can and drink it in the bar. Maybe this is normal, but it struck me as a little strange. They also had some food items available but I skipped those this time. Overall, I had a pretty good time. I'd definitely consider stopping by again but I'm not sure it'll be a consistent hang-out.

    I'm going to be completely honest...we stopped here because we were out thrifting in Cary (not our…read morenormal neighborhood) and saw the sign for Vicious Fishes brewery. That made us laugh and we were thirsty so we decided to take a break from shopping. We parked at VF parking lot and discovered that their doors were locked even though the hours on the door said they should have been open. We noticed South Line Brewing right beside it and saw people so we walked across the parking lot. We were immediately greeted by some friendly patrons (looked like they were having an event) and went inside. The bartender asked us what we would like to sample and we quickly found a beer to our liking. We inquired about the brewery next door and she informed us that they were closed for good. (Not this brewery's fault, but how rude that there was no posting on VF regarding this!) We really enjoyed our time here. We had a couple of beers, got a burger from the food truck, and just relaxed and people watched. I got the Notorious Bean Coffee Cream Ale and it was delicious. I had two and they went down very easily LOL. The vibe was excellent. LOTS of different seating...kinda felt like hanging out in your best friends garage (only in the best way possible!) Even sitting inside felt like sitting outside and enjoying a nice summer afternoon. If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely stop by again!

    Came here recently and enjoyed myself!…read more First, parking was pretty easy in the afternoon, but I can imagine it'd be trickier during peak hours. They had a bunch of arcade machines, like a punching bag, a golf simulator, and a few other options. I also noticed they had some liquor behind the bar if people preferred mixed drinks versus beer :) Not useful for me, but I appreciate that they're prepared! I ordered a beer and it was solid. My wife and I chilled on the couch for a bit and it was pretty comfy. The bartender was nice as well. Overall, we had a pretty good time at South Line and would definitely consider coming back!
