    A glass of Möet!
    Cheryl M.

    I had a great time dining here and celebrating my birthday with friends. Our server was courteous and accommodating. He was very attentive and kept our water glasses filled. The food was absolutely delicious. The manager even came to our table to check on us to make sure all was going well. That was greatly appreciated. I'd definitely come back again!

    Ahi tuna
    Les B.

    Went in for a dinner. Love the one in the lake Norman area so was thrilled when I saw this location. You know I had to try it!! Greeted graciously by the host and I opted to sit at the bar. Was greeted by the bartenders immediately and they were very friendly. I ended up ordering a wedge salad which was huge and delicious a long with an order of the ahi tuna. The ahi was also incredible and a nice portion. Everyone around was very friendly and inside the restaurant it was a sexy, intimate, Dark, and classy vibe. The difference between this one and the Lake Norman was that this one seemed a little bit more modern and epic in Mooresville is a little bit more original.... that's probably because the one in Mooresville is the original LOL Another little bit of helpful information is that no matter how large or small your party is, even a party of one you will be charged 20% automatic gratuity to your check. They do disclose this on the menu ahead of time.

    Had Mother's Day brunch here and what a lovely experience! The staff were all so friendly and our server was fantastic. So attentive and kind. The brunch was so good - excellent variety of options. The standouts were the balsamic dressing (best I've ever had!), the prime rib, the berries and cream French toast and the desserts! The mimosas were very good as well!

    Our first time to this chophouse, and it was my birthday, all of the staff was very welcoming and accommodating, our meals were delicious with large portions. Our server, Brandy was very knowledgeable and attentive. I had the boneless braised short rib with roasted vegetables. We also had the fried Oysters Rockefeller and roasted brussels sprouts with bacon. Everything was delicious. The table next to us was also celebrating a birthday so we were all having a great time ...thank you Epic Chophouse! We definitely recommend for a special night out or when you just want to have an excellent steak dinner.

    My friend made reservations here for her birthday and we were not DISAPPOINTED! From the moment we walked in, the hostess to our server were very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious! We ordered their specials which consisted of steak and shrimp with potatoes or any other side you would like. We got a variety of sides to share from Cream Spinach, potatoes and vegetables. It was all very flavorful and no complaints at all. The manager stopped by our table to see how everything was going which was very much appreciated. If you are in the area, I highly recommend you visiting this for a nice dinner. By the time we were leaving it had gotten a pretty busy and everyone looked like they were having such a great time.

    Smokin Hot Couple

    We came to Chophouse on a Tuesday night for dinner. The restaurant wasn't crowded and there were two corporate groups and a few couples having dinner. We started with the Chophouse cheese toast and it was delicious. The cheese was hot and perfectly toasted. Every bite was excellent. My entree was the Smokin Hot Couple which was 3 medallions of aged filet mignon and 8 gulf shrimp seasoned with a Smoky-Cajun Spice and Pan Blackened with Light Herbed Butter Sauce and Creole Remoulade. It was delicious and it was a lot so I did get to take some home for lunch the next day. I will be back!

    Brussels and fries

    The food was absolutely out of this world. I had dinner with a client on Thursday night where I had the angry oysters as the app, ribeye (beyond exceptional), fries, and Brussel sprouts, a delicious pinot noire, and a key lime pie. I returned again on Saturday with my husband and with a very good friend that had come to town to visit, where I dined on the bang bang shrimp and calamari for apps, the lamb, fries, and green beans for dinner, and for dessert; again, the key lime pie. My husband had the chocolate cake. Everything, and I mean everything was exceptional. The food is beyond quality and the taste is superb. Our servers on both nights were beyond knowledgeable and were some of the very best I have had in the food service industry. My husband, a part time server for a high-end restaurant in the food services industry, agreed. While the open dining area can be a bit loud, it didn't detract or impact the overall experience. I loved the fact that there is a suggested dress code. I also chuckled when reading the sign at the door. Overall, the place is very cute and I adored all the wine bottle options visible as also stunning decor, as well, impressive selection. Overall, it's a perfect score. I could dine on the key lime pie in perpetuity. It's that good. Toasted meringue is a favorite. It doesn't disappoint. You must check this place out. Pricey, maybe, but it's certainly worth it in quality taste and experience. I will be back. Soon!!!!!!

    Crab cakes

    We walk in, and there was sexy ambiance about the place. I would encourage your Google page to be updated cause i was not ready. We were treated like royalty from the walk to the table till we walked out after dinner. For drinks i wanted a wine. Specifically grenache grape wine. The lovely sommelier said they only had a blend but still great from the cotes du rhone region. It was a nice compromise. We proceeded to order for our 3 year old, some buttered noodles. They were very bland with oily butter at the bottom. Maybe they could've seasoned it well? I ordered the crab cakes. They were phenomenal. Thier sauce was unique but maybe needed to be loser? It was buttery and delicious. My husband ordered the steak 104 south. It very underwhelming unfortunately for the price. Good, but not something going back for. Overall the service was impeccable, the food was decent, but i just don't know about coming back. It just feels like you can get better steak for about the same prices elsewhere. I would also suggest a different bread option.

    This relatively new restaurant at Brier Creek is in the spot that the Brazilian steakhouse used to be. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Those of us that prefer an earlier dining time love that they open at 4pm. Six of us enjoyed a delightful meal with great service, absolutely delicious food in a gorgeous dining room. I'm not normally a steakhouse kinda gal, but their menu is so wonderfully diverse. And even better, for this level of quality, quite reasonably priced. In other words, a steakhouse that you don't have to wait for a special occasion for. Husband had a great Manhattan, my French Sauvignon Blanc was nice. We started with some of the bread of the day, which was a cranberry walnut. (delicious, and nicely not sweet). Dad had the shrimp cocktail to start which had big shrimp that must have been really good cause he sure didn't offer to share. Entrees came out quite quickly. My lobster & shrimp with asparagus tips linguine was fantastic. Waitress had warned me that some folks don't care for it because it has a strong tarragon flavor, but I loved it. Others enjoyed their steaks, crab cakes, a pasta with shrimp and mushrooms, broccoli with cheese sauce, loaded mashed potatoes and potato cakes. The only slight miss was Dad's lamb was slightly overcooked and he said he wouldn't order it again. We were all too full for dessert, but boy they all sounded great. I got another whole meal out of my leftover pasta. Can't wait to go back!

    Amazing Experience - a must try! Beautiful decor, warming seating in the waiting area, bright inviting bar and luxurious table and booth seating throughout the main restaurant. Great location for date night, girls night, lux vibes but with prices and options for everybody Our waiter was impressive; he was timely, kind, informative, knowledgeable about the menu and helpful. Our food was delicious! We enjoyed everything we tried! I will rate the food in the pictures.

    Pecan cheesecake
    Priscilla R.

    Been here twice now and loved my experience both times. 1. Food has been amazing both times! Ordered the smokin hot couple the first time and the steak frittes the second time and both were great meals. Had the cocktails which were honestly just okay and the desserts pecan cheesecake and bread pudding each time were worth the takeout order. 2. Service was immaculate. Very attentive and informative both times. Prompt and with great recommendations. 3. The venue itself is such a nice place to be in. The decor feels very upscale and celebratory. Great place for a date night or birthday celebration. Also looks like they have a private space in the back side of the venue for private events. Overall, close to home and a place I will continue to go to and keep trying items off the menu. Excited to try and get through it all.

    Tomahawk with sautéed green beans, and mashed potatoes.

    I was walking around Brier Creek on Wednesday and spotted this new restaurant where Braza used to be, so I walked in to check it out. It seemed nice, and I looked at the menu, then decided it would be a good spot to come back to later. I made a reservation for Saturday at 4:45 PM, so we wouldn't be eating too late. As we were on time for the reservation, and the restaurant opened at 4 pm, there were less than 10 tables seated with people. When we arrived there was another party in from of us, one with 12 people, 2 tables of 6 they were saying. The hostess & manager were saying that their reservation was cancelled, yet the people were saying that they did not receive anything saying the reservation was cancelled. in the meantime a host showed us to a table. We were walked all the way to the back of the restaurant against the back wall and directed to a 2-top. I asked the host if we could have a bigger table. The host we and told the manager that we wanted a bigger table. The manager paid us a visit, and had a very interesting conversation. Manager Greg came over and stated that he had 360 reservation, and it wasn't possible to move us to a bigger table. If he moved us it would screw up his whole reservation system because he had 400 reservations, and walk-ins to contend with. (Yes, the number went up from 360 to 400) So he said it just wasn't possible to accommodate us. Then he left. I told the host that was still there that the manager was full of BS. Because the restaurant was empty, and we would be done eating before the dinner crowd, so we had enough time to sit at a larger table. Plus I pointed out that the manager contradicted himself. Since he said he had to plan for walk-ins then he could plan for us to sit at a larger table, so he was full of BS. The host did go straight to the manager and I am assuming told him what we said because the manager came running straight back saying he just had a cancellation so he could sit us at a larger table. He moved us to the 4-top in the far back corner of the restaurant by the emergency exit. As we were sitting in the back corner of the restaurant we were able to see almost everybody that came in, and where they were seated. There were numerous couples that came in and seated at 4-tops with plenty of 2-tops open. But none of them had to request a larger table when they were shown to their seats. Maybe it it was just an off night, and not typical behavior in the restaurant, but why were most of the non-white people sitting along the outer edge, and back of the restaurant. I mean, there were less than 10 tables in the restaurant when we arrived, and we were put in the far back corner by the exit. The only worse location is sitting right next to the bathroom. We were both pointing that out all night long as we saw people come in, and where they were seated. Yes, there was an occasional exception, but not really. The reason why I wanted a larger table was not because I am too good to sit at a 2-top, but I really only prefer to sit at one with I am alone due to the constraints when you have several plates on the table. Before we visited I already knew what I wanted, I planned to order the tomahawk steak. I have ordered them at other restaurants, and if you have you already know that a tomahawk steak takes up a whole 2-top by itself. And with it served family style with the sides in their own separate dish you need a lot of table space, and then each person needed to have their own dining place. Why, because we are civilized and don't eat from the serving dish like cave people. Not sure if we were just put off and disgusted with the way Greg treated us, but the food was not that tasty. We all know how out mood can affect perception, but not impressed. We ordered the tomahawk cooked medium-well. Normally I get all my steaks medium, but with the massive two feet of bone on this, I could have ordered it well-done, and still had half come out medium. The half close to the bone was rare, while the out edge from the bone was just medium-well. The steak did have a great sear to it I will say. The sautéed green beans were crisp with a snap to them. The mashed potatoes were decent. I will say for a tomahawk, it should come with at least two sides instead of just one. Plus the sides were tiny, almost the sizes you were get at normal southern restaurant. At $9 per side, they were 1/4 the size of Ruths' Chris and Fleming, for 2/3 the price, so no value. We did have an amazing server by the name of Brandy. She stating the tomahawk is normally cut in the kitchen, but I requested it cut tableside, and she was happy to accommodate me. Thank you Brandy, you were really nice. If you do decide to dine here, make reservations and ask to be seated in Brandy's area. If you see Greg, be prepared to be walked past every empty table and placed out of the way in the back corner where nobody will notice you are there. By the way, I really did like the nice table lamps. 2025-25 #576

The wine list is broad and thoughtfully curated, with options that feel approachable whether you're a casual wine drinker or someone looking to try something new. The sommeliers were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us find something we loved. The space itself is adorable, with eclectic décor and cozy lighting that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. It's a great spot for conversation and a relaxed evening with friends. The only downside is that the space is fairly small, and I would have loved to see one or two more lower seating options for small groups rather than mostly high tops. That said, I could absolutely see us coming back for a pre- or post-theater glass of wine or an easy catch-up night.

The service is awesome--our server was super friendly and gave me a great drink recommendation when I wasn't sure what I wanted. It ended up being perfect. My friend and I shared a glass of the 2023 Cederberg Bukettraube (sweet white wine) and got the charcuterie board for one with the truffle salami. That board was so good--I can't stop thinking about it. The toasted baguette slices with truffle salami and mustard? Unreal. It was the perfect little snack to share. We also had the citrus lavender crème brûlée, which was surprisingly delicious. I don't usually go for crème brûlée, but this one was light, not overly sweet, and just had a really nice flavor. I've also tried their shepherd's pie before and loved it--wish it was still on the menu! The vibe inside is moody and cozy, and they've got a cute outdoor patio too. Overall, such a great spot. A little pricey, but I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend checking out Killer Queen.

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.

Not entirely sure since we still have no idea how to access it, but maybe look for that lot if street parking is challenging :) Anyway, RBF is located in the basement of a building, so we had to take an elevator down from the entrance we took. Inside, it's got chill vibes - it definitely feels like a wine bar :) We ended up sitting inside on a high top, but there were various couches and a good amount of outdoor seating available as well. It took a while for our server to come check in with us, but she was super friendly and helpful with the wine selections once she came over.

    Great decor - large, open space, with very light furniture. There are quite a few places to sit…read moreoutside, if you want to ask the host(ess) for a place out there. There's an S-shaped bar along the right side as you walk in with a few smaller tables scattered to the left and ahead, but if you walk around the plantings, there are larger tables in the rear. We had reserved a place for eight, and they fit us in with plenty of room around as a buffer. Few other parties joined us back there, so it was very quiet and great for friends catching up. We tried several wines, but I was a bit shock ed that the list wasn't longer: three reds, three whites, a few rosés and sparkling offerings was all there were. The only Italian red was a blend, which was ok. 60% Sangiovese, it was ok, but I'd have loved a bold Tuscan red like a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or a full-on Sangiovese. I ordered the wild mushroom flatbread and the pasta carbonara. the flatbread was delicious, and very filling. Half went home for a lunch treat the next day! The pasta was ok, but there weren't the flavors I was expecting. Hardly any meat was in the dish, and it was just a kinda "ok" creamy pasta dish. But the service and the atmosphere was amazing! It's funny - many in this group have met since and we always remark how other places have such a larger wine selection than this one that has "wine" in the name. Maybe they need to change the name if they aren't going to have a wider selection. Still a fun place, just done expect a lot of selection.

    I really love this place. The food, wine and the dessert was delicious we really enjoyed everythingread more

    I was not expecting to find such a beautiful jewel of a winery in Durham. I had seen reviews and…read morehad friends tell me how lovely it was, but I was still blown away at just how PRETTY everything was. My best friend and I had Friday, July 3rd off so we decided to get here when they opened at noon. There is what seems at first a long road from the highway to the winery. Since I was one of the first people there, I was a bit confused about where to park but figured it out relatively easily. Walking up to main building, I loved the view. I loved all the outdoor seating and the rooftop bars. I really liked all of the covered spaces. But since it was SO HOT, we decided to sit inside. We started with a pear cider that was delicious. ($7.50 pint). We went up to the roof to look around but decided it was more comfortable inside. I then got a Procecco Rose ($9) and my friend got a Moscato Rose. The bartender poured us samples of both and it would have been nice if we'd both liked the same ones and we could have shared a bottle, but no dice. We walked around the other buildings and would have LOVED to spent more time outside. But two drinks was all we needed especially since we didn't partake in the food trucks parked out front. We were there for about 1.5 hours and it really started to get crowded, so we decided that was our cue to leave. I got a Diet Coke (can $2) before I cashed out. All of the bartenders were super nice and helpful. Most seemed to know what they were serving and were knowledgeable about recommendations. Even the restrooms were beautiful. And very clean! I wore jean shorts and top, while my friend wore a sundress. I saw all sorts of different outfits so I don't think there is a particular dress code here. Overall this was SO MUCH fun. Will definitely do again when the weather turns cooler and will have a DD :)

Theres more seatings outdoor then indoors by the way it looks set up. There is a gift shop and a events venue on the other side where parking is. Would definitely recommend.

    My sister and I went to Vinos Finos recently on a Friday around 4:30 and had a stellar experience…read more Somehow I had lived in North Raleigh for MANY years and never tried this place, and I'm so glad we did! The space is cozy, not too big, and lovely. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly & attentive. We even got to meet the Chef and let him know how amazing his curated and creative dishes were! We sat at the bar and were able to be seated right away. We each opted for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon (or two). On to the food! The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. Plenty of delicious and appealing options of small plates to share, but also a few larger ones. We started with the Goat Cheese Stuffed Piquillo Peppers & Truffled Deviled Eggs. Both of these were amazing. The Peppers melt in your mouth and had so much flavor. The Deviled Eggs had the perfect amount of truffle flavor and were perfectly cooked. Next we opted for the Baguette of the day - this one was served with Salami, Burrata, and Arugula. The bread was perfectly crispy and all of the toppings fresh and delicious; this was a perfect combination! Lastly, it was between the Lamb Sliders Trio and the Paella! I really wanted to try the Paella, but my sister and I decided that we would try something a bit lighter and the Sliders looked so elevated, unique, and delicious. They sure did deliver! Served with fresh Goat Cheese, Guacamole, Fresh Jalapeño, Caramelized Onions, and Sriracha, which we got on the side. This dish was absolutely amazing! So different. You wouldn't think to put those flavors together, but it was so great and we would hands-down get it again! All of the food at Vinos Finos was delicious, fun, and fresh. I love how the Chef puts together various flavors that you wouldn't expect. We cannot wait to go back!

It's a relatively small space and can get a bit loud. Excellent staff, we probably had five different folks assisting at one time or another.
