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.

The "Cedric" honestly wasn't the best. Just bland the one thing it had going for it was that it was hot and fresh. Other than that it didn't do it for me. I would definitely go back and try other things on the menu!

I've had great service, rough service, and this visit was an odd combination of a friendly yet not attentive server and a very attentive other staff (food runner maybe?) who tried to be on top of things while our server wasn't. The scallops were a hit, as was the crab dip. The shrimp diablo was "ok" - cooked properly , but something sold as Diablo should have some kick to it, and this definitely didn't. It's still going to be my regular place for pre-show dinner at Goodnights Comedy Club. Maybe if I go often enough I will learn which servers to ask for and be able to upgrade this to 5 stars?

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.

We had just landed in North Carolina and wanted to try some authentic NC BBQ fresh off the plane. As soon as we walked in, I told my wife, "This place reminds me of Mission BBQ back home"--nothing special, just a chain dressing up the BBQ experience. Unfortunately, I was right. The burnt ends were mediocre, and the half chicken was so dry I couldn't even finish my beer. Instead, I asked for two more cups of water. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super friendly and personable. Honestly, he was the best part of the BBQ joint--other than the pickles. Yelp recommended this place and another soul food spot up the street. Next time, I'll go with my gut instead of trusting the stars.

It walks the line between upscale bar and grill and fast casual burger joint. I had the Ricky Bobby which is a chicken cheese steak sandwich with jalepenos, bacon, and ranch. It was really good. My tots were crispy and salted well. We shared a few apps. The fried pickles has a great breading with a good quality salty pickle chip. It really went well with their tasty home made ranch. Southwestern egg rolls and salted soft pretzels with beer cheese were both killer. I will be back to try their wings, salads, and more.

Located across from NC State's campus, it's the kind of spot where locals, students, alumni, and first-time visitors all seem to blend together naturally. It's appearance in the baseball classic Bull Durham was my main draw to this place. And it adds another layer to its charm and history. What makes this place special isn't any one thing, it's everything. You can easily lose an entire afternoon here watching a game, having a few drinks, and talking with whoever happens to be sitting nearby. In a world full of polished sports bars and corporate concepts, Mitch's feels authentic, lived-in, and uniquely Raleigh. Exactly the kind of tavern every town wishes it had.

This classic college pub across from the NC State campus on Hillsborough St. is one of North…read moreCarolina's most celebrated watering holes, and a great spot to meet friends for grub and a few drinks. With its aged-brick facade and wonderful old-world decor, Mitch's could easily be mistaken for a historic tavern in Boston or Greenwich Village, but the institution has only been in business since 1974. Movie nerds will recognize Mitch's as the spot where Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins meet for beers in the baseball comedy 'Bull Durham,' while Wolfpack alum will likely remember it as the spot where they celebrated dozens of basketball wins, birthday bashes and end-of-semester parties during their time at NC State. The beer list is strong, the service terrific and the food delicious -- especially the famous Reuben sandwich. So drop by, grab a table, and enjoy one of the best pub experiences North Carolina has to offer.

The concept of this restaurant is that you use a pencil and paper to select your taco or taco bowl toppings and options. You can get a pre-made bowl or taco too based on the chef's recommendation. It's a nice trendy location with a full-scale bar, but the vibe definitely feels more casual. While the wait staff was really nice, unfortunately kitchen service was extremely slow. We ordered a few burrito bowls and tacos, but had to wait over half an hour to forty-five minutes for our food since they ran out of rice. The free chips and salsa while we were waiting made the wait a little more bearable. After the long wait, the food was unfortunately not tasty. The bowl was in a standard chipotle size burrito bowl, but was pretty much smushed to the bottom of the bowl and only filled half of the depth. Overall, the meat and toppings were sparse. The food wasn't that expensive, but I could have gotten a much better experience at a fast casual burrito bowl place. So all-in-all, Barrio Tacos was lackluster. I wish I could say I had a better experience.
