Had a burger and a poke bowl which were both delicious. Our server was interesting, definitely got the feeling she was rushing us and maybe she thought she was being attentive. Plus she forgot a few things during our visit so possibly some further training may be required. However despite the service this place is still getting five stars.

Grabbed an early lunch here recently and really enjoyed it!…read more I parked in a nearby downtown parking lot off of Saunders St. and snagged a table immediately. It wasn't too busy at ~10:30 AM but judging from the number of people walking around, I'm sure it gets way busier at peak hours. Anyway, I ordered the steak salad for myself and it arrived promptly. It was really, really good! Steak was maybe not medium rare as requested, but it tasted great, and all of the components of the salad really worked together. The beer menu had good variety but it was a little early for me so I took a pass on that :) The server was attentive throughout my meal and did an excellent job. Overall, I really enjoyed Scratch and would definitely come back!

I had a doctor's appointment at Duke Health next door and decided to stop by afterward for lunch at…read moreFratelli's Delicatessen. Safe to say this was the best part of my afternoon. We ordered the Chicago Dog, the Reuben Sandwich, and finished things off with a cannolo (yes, the singular form of cannoli). The Chicago Dog was delicious and loaded with flavor, although I have to admit the toxic-green relish initially threw me off a bit (see pic). Once I got past the visual shock, it was actually a fantastic hot dog that stayed true to its Chicago roots. The real star, though, was the Reuben Sandwich. At around $15, it was absolutely worth every penny. Generously stacked, perfectly toasted, and packed with tender meat, melty Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and just the right amount of dressing. The cannolo was the perfect sweet ending to the meal -- crisp shell, creamy filling, and not overly sweet. What really stood out was how friendly everyone was. The staff made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back... especially for those Thursday $5 draft beer specials. Apex locals, you've got a gem here.

Got the craprese and chick parm. Very good. Added chicken to my caprese. We would come back for…read morechicken parm and burritos. We tried to order burritos by 2pm on Sunday but they sold out of the only flavor we like, steak and egg+tots burrito! We will be back thank you :)) Casual ambiance and lots of outdoor seating.

I love Diced! If you're looking for clean ingredients and fresh, flavorful salads, this is…read moredefinitely the spot. I always order the Southwest Crunch Bowl. I tell myself every time that I'm going to try something new--but I just can't help it, it's that good. I get it with the house-made chipotle ranch (which is amazing) and usually add chicken. The dressing really brings everything together, and I recommend getting it on the side if you don't plan to finish the salad right away--it helps keep everything fresh. The only downside is the price--adding protein can make the bowl a bit expensive--but honestly, I'm willing to pay more for high-quality, fresh ingredients. The staff is always quick, efficient, and helpful, which makes the experience even better. They also offer gluten-free desserts from JP's Pastry, which is a great bonus! Highly recommend if you want a fresh, clean meal that actually tastes amazing.

The burger I had was mediocre basically burger with jalapenos, it was fine and tasty but felt like it lacked something. It's a nice restaurant inside lots of bar space and dining space for those times. I live this place just because it's cool. Given the price I paid I thought it high, but that's okay.

Nice bar. Cute little place with a nice long bar, nice looking taps, and decent bourbon selection…read more The Bar is physically separated by the dining room by a short wall that just gives it a good flow, but does not cut down on visibility. Had spicy burger, french fries, ranch and hot buffalo for fry dipping and a pernicious on tap. The beer was large, cold, and fresh, tasted as expected when a place goes through the keg in the right amount of time. The burger was huge, not that it was hard to eat by being too thick, but like a medium rare smash burger that was not dry as a bone. It was the Spicy burger. Although not as hot as it name would suggest, it was delicious! The fries were hot and fresh, and the hot buffalo had a nice kick. Service was very good. The bartender was nice, gave me advice on beers and food items, and answered all my questions with a smile. Pretty fast delivery, but not so fast as you would think to yourself..."what was that so fast"? LOL. She checked back in a timely manner on both the food and drink and was all and all very approachable. Def would go back to try other items in the near future. thx.

I'm still dreaming of these cocktails. I wanted to try something new for my Birthday dinner and it…read morewas Restaurant Week in Apex= win-win situation! We haven't tried many restaurants in Apex so I had to heard of Serafina Ristorante. The cocktails were just divine. I started with the No. 152, which has gin, strawberry-basil, lemon, and vermouth. What a lovely and delicate combination. My husband got the No. 198, which has mezcal. It would be difficult to choose a favorite. I'm also not a fan of ice so I'd recommend skipping the ice, which I did for the next drink. Later we got the No. 043 that has lavender, honey, lemon, and white grape. I think this was my least favorite. For dinner, I went with the restaurant week pear and fig salad and rigatoni bolognese. My only complaint was that the salad was a little salty for my taste. Otherwise, everything was delicious and fresh. My husband opted for the roasted chicken, which was the star of the show. This chicken elevated the whole meal. It was roasted perfectly and had so many wonderful flavors like fig and apples. I was jealous of his meal, but he let me have a few bites. My only complaint is that it was small. For dessert I had the panna cotta and my husband had the cannolis. Again, I was jealous of his, but I helped him eat them. The chocolate cannoli was the best. The panna cotta was also nice, light, and fresh. The restaurant and bar itself was pretty inside with nice decor and a warm vibe. We had a great experience for my Birthday dinner and I'd definitely visit again!

Grabbed lunch from here and had an OK experience…read more First, the inside was cute! I liked the mascot with the giant glasses, and our server was helpful throughout our meal. I ordered the Myra Fried Rice, which at $24 was kind of steep. I noticed lots of typos on the menu (Fried was written as Fied multiple times), so that's something that management should probably fix. Anyway, my wife got the Thai Beef Salad, which was a more palatable $15. The food arrived soon afterwards, and it was... OK. The rice had a nice texture to it but the chicken was super anemic - it looked like it had been boiled or something. The beef was decent, though. My wife really loved her salad, and I enjoyed the flavor of that way more than my own dish. To adjust the spice on my dish, the server brought over chili flakes like you'd get at a pizza joint (but in a nicer looking vessel). They did spice up my meal but I guess it struck me as a little strange. The portion size was decent but I ate most of it in one sitting. Overall, I wouldn't say it was a terrible experience, but I'm not sure I would come back for $24 fried rice with bland chicken.

Fast forward, I've tried various seating spots. And also dishes. The chicken fingers, the Angus burger, the chimichurri steak sandwich, the parmesan crusted chicken Caesar sandwich up to now. But my favorite, is the burger! Very well seasoned and cooked appropriately. The ambiance is fantastic. Many know each other but even if not, the servers do a awesome job at making you feel welcomed. Jescel is the best! Very knowledgeable about offerings and overall excellent customer experience. The layout allows for small/ large groups inside and there is an outdoor seating area. There also other activities like karaoke that take place. Check them out.!
