Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

Absolutely love Postino! This is my go to lunch spot with coworkers. We've been numerous times…read moreand are never disappointed. My go to meal is the half panini and tomato soup. Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.

I had the root veggie bowl and added lentils for protein. I asked for dressing on the side because I want to dress my own food. Before I dressed it I took a bite, wow! It could be eaten with no dressing! It was absolutely delicious. I asked if they have a vegan sauce and they did not know. CAVA has several vegan dressings available that are marked on the bottle. Might be something to consider. But, wow. I can't wait to come back! My drink was the Mango Apple Kale. It was very good and not too sweet. It's 7:10 on a Wednesday night. The place is not real busy but should be. The first experience was worth reviewing, they did great. I eat at chipotle a lot and their tables are always dirty and garbages overflowing but this place, no. The Farmside Kitchen tables are all clean in the lobby. garbages clean, floor...clean. They are going to do great. I look for forward to returning or finding one in my area.

Such a great burger!!! It's been my go-to place in Raleigh whenever I want to grab a good burger…read more Quick service, and it's in the middle of a food hall (Transfer Co. Food Hall) so there's lots of space to sit. I'm never disappointed with the Reaper burger (if you like spice this is a great choice), and I love bringing friends here whenever I get the chance. Even spent a Valentine's Day dinner here, it was great.

Haiku: Mama Crow's Burger & Salad Shop…read more Got vegan burger Disappointed soggy fries Cool Transfer Food Hall. --- Located in the Transfer Food Hall, Mama Crow's features a menu of fresh, locally sourced salads, fresh, top-quality burgers, house-made cheeses, and hand-cut fries. I ordered the Superfree Burger, their vegan burger patty made of sweet potatoes, roasted mushrooms, walnuts and seeds; topped with avocado, tomato, mixed greens, onions, and a garlic-tahini dressing. Usually, I'm always excited to try a restaurant's vegan burger, but sad to say, their vegan burger was a bit underwhelming. I felt the patty was on the dry and crumbly side. I also ordered a Kid's Hot Dog meal for my child. The hot dog looked delish, but sadly, the hand-cut fries were soggy, greasy, and dark. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't appetizing. I should have asked the kitchen to make another batch for us. Mama Crow's had so much promise. I'd still come back to give it another try, but I'll order a burger next time.

We grabbed food from the bowls, which is one of my favorites here. I think they have a really good poke bowl. The bowls are big and full - definitely worth the $15ish you're paying. They come out quickly and you can enjoy them outside or inside, which is perfect for an NC summer.

This bowl was a kick of flavor and very fulfilling. The fried egg could've been cooked better but overall I enjoyed the bowl. I look forward to trying another option in the future.

I love Birdie's for all meals! I've been for brunch and dinner, and I was pleased with both…read moreexperiences! Birdie's is located in the heart of Downtown Raleigh, right on Fayetteville Street. There is street parking, but also a parking deck right across the street. The decor is absolutely lovely, and it's spacious with a beautiful bar. There's also a cafe in the front if you just want to drop in for some treats to go or coffee. Although they have a nice cocktail menu, they also have a full bar if you'd like something that is not on their menu. On the brunch menu, they have an item called Mimosa Party, which has 4 different flavors: range, dragonfruit, pear, mango. I've had other cocktails, and they are all delicious and made to order! Now for the food. The food that I've had has been flavorful and very good. Also, they have a lot of options that aren't very heavy if you're looking for some lighter options. When I went for brunch, I had the Hippie Hash Bowl, and it was delicious. I didn't want anything too heavy, but still breakfast-related, and it was perfect for that. For dinner the last time I went, I had the Creamy Chicken Penne Pasta with Cajun seasoning and blackened chicken. I was trying to decide which dish to order, and my server suggested adding Cajun seasoning and blackened chicken to the dish, and boy was it delicious. I did not intend to eat the entire meal, but it was too good to stop. I've also always had great service with friendly staff who are eager to help. I'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, Birdie's just didn't quite hit the spot for me. The restaurant itself is really…read morepretty, but this was my second time coming in for dinner, and I was really hoping for a better experience this time around. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing again. We ordered the tomato soup with grilled cheese and the Cobb salad with steak. Both dishes were good, but the biggest issue was the wait. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, it took over an hour for our food to come out and there wasn't much communication from our server about the delay. I'd definitely be more understanding if we had come in with a large group or ordered some of the more involved entrees, but when it's just two people ordering relatively simple dishes on a day that the restaurant is not very busy, waiting over an hour is tough. Our server did apologize and mentioned that this isn't typically the case. However, after reading through some other reviews, it does seem like the long wait times may be a recurring issue. I will say that our server kindly comped our drinks, which I appreciated. One suggestion I'd have for the restaurant would be to consider offering a complimentary bread service as it would go a long way in making the wait feel a little more manageable. Overall, I really want to like Birdie's because the space is beautiful and the food was good, but unfortunately, the service issues have made it difficult for me to fully enjoy the experience.

The food arrived at 7:16pm, so if you're hoping to get in and out of this place quickly that likely won't happen. We ordered tacos and they were all delicious. The Oaxaca was a pleasant surprise that I highly recommend. The chicken Al carbon was tasty. You could taste the smokiness from being grilled. It was a little dry though so we added salsa to it. The picadillo with the seasoned ground beef was good. The steak was spicy but tasty as well rico style. Overall our only complaint was the wait time.

The quesadilla was flavorful as well, and the chicken was tender. I also tried the large chips and queso; the queso portion was generous, which I appreciated, but many of the chips were soggy and chewy, which made them hard to enjoy. Overall, it was a good experience with friendly staff, and I'll definitely be back for the fish tacos.

The less then stellar: the place smelled like it had been washed with a dirty mop. Having worked in food service before, I know this smell and it was incredibly off putting. My friend and I shared the nachos with short rib and I think they forgot to put on the short rib because it didn't seem to be there. The nachos themselves felt cold and congealed and seemed like they'd been sitting around for a long time (and they came out super quick). We also each got a side of watermelon, which was tasty but felt a little small for the price, and stingy with the fresh mint. The ambiance was beautiful but I probably wouldn't rush back to this location based on the smell and the food.

The food was just bad with the exception of the flatbread I ordered that was pretty tasty. My husband had the falafel and veggies and was given horrendously over seasoned and tough falafel with super under seasoned and undercooked veggies (like chunks of raw carrot). The other sides we ordered were a flavorless Fatoush salad and very mid rice. We never got the pita that was offered to us and after the second reminder, we just gave up on that. We tried it.

The bathrooms are clean and even have a little inspirational sticker wall where you can leave notes for others. Parking was easy at that time on the street, but it is paid metered parking. Everyone was very friendly.
