    Chicken kimchi potstickers
    Tony T.

    What we had... Prix-Fix 1: Chicken Kimchi Potstickers Roasted Shrimp with Penne pasta Oatmeal cookie sandwich with ice cream Prix-Fix 2: Caesar salad Pan Seared Scallops Margaux's Crème brûlée We wanted to try a different restaurant in Raleigh so we checked Yelp and noticed Margaux's. The restaurant is tucked away in the back of Brennan Station on Creedmoor Road. My wife and I visited there on a Saturday evening. The parking can be tight in that area, but was not too bad when we went. We arrived for our 6:30 reservation. I would recommend placing a reservation on weekends as there was a lot of people coming in after we were seated. However, now I understand why so many people dine there. The atmosphere is very nice. I would say the atmosphere is casual New Orleans. Our waiter was prompt and did a great job explaining any dish we had questions about. For the food, the potstickers were great. Two large potstickers, fried well, not only. The tang of the kimchi was a great addition to the flavor. The side salad was fresh and the sweet chili sauce was a must-have to put in the potstickers. The roasted shrimp with penne was very good too. Fresh is the best word I can give for the entre. Everything had a light taste, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the tomato based sauce would be good on just about anything, so much flavor! The only thing I would have wanted was some additional shrimp. The entree came with only four shrimp. No complaints about the taste, but I think it dish should have included a few more. The oatmeal cookie desert was a surprise. I asked our waitress beforehand about it and she thought I might like so I tried it....Good choice! It reminds me of an upscaled oatmeal cookie sandwich. The cookie was rich, the filling was not too sweet. The raspberry sauce on top was perfect to cut through the richness of the cookie. The sandwich sat on what looked like whipped cream, but was actually softened ice cream. Last, there was a caramel sauce under everything that just brought everything together nicely. The desert is rich and heavy, but so good. My wife's Caesar salad, she mentioned it had a great taste, the dressing was especially memorable, fresh, light and full of flavor. The pan seared scallops were tender and sweet, just as they should be. The broccoli cooked well, still having a dark green color and retained a nice bite, not mushy. The mango chili sauce added a lot of flavor to the dish. The menu showed green beans as one of the sides, but I believe they may not have had any when we visited, so broccoli was substituted. There were no objections! Again, the only complaint from my wife was that there were only three scallops on the plate, one more would have been welcomed. Not an issue, just being picky! For desert, she had the crème brûlée. She loved it! The custard was very creamy, not too sweet and the caramelized sugar top was golden brown and brittle as expected. The combination of those flavors worked well together. Overall, we had a very fine dinner that night. The atmosphere was relaxed, staff personable and attentive. It was our anniversary and our waitress gave us a hand written card congratulating us on our celebration and many more. We'll definitely return, most likely with a few more people in tow!

    Last minute booking for a Saturday night out. Prior to coming I checked out the menu and saw the three course offering. The Caesar salad was good and a great start the courses. A mixture of breads consisting of corn bread, a baguette and rye bread came after ordering. Great light paring with the salad and entree. Next was the salmon on a bed of mashed potatoes and green beans. The salmon was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. This was one of my top salmon dishes I've had when considering the presentation, flavor and temperature of the salmon. Lastly, I paired my meal with a key lime pie. A suitable portion to share a few bites. This was a lovely night out with a great pairing of courses.

    Pleasantly surprised upon walking in. Not what I was expecting with a funky decor and vibe with above average menu and choices. Loved it and looking forward to going back. Cocktail crafted well.

    I took a risk trying a new restaurant on New Year's Eve and was so happy that I did. We looked for a place with a new years menu and loved what Margaux had to offer. They were fully booked but we came anyways and everyone at the front (hostess, servers, manager) were so nice and accommodating and luckily found us a table that happened to be empty at the upper level next to the bar. The restaurant was really nice and lively inside and there was a wonderful jazz duo playing all night that made the ambience even better. Multiple people checked on us all night and there was always someone to refill a drink or take/bring a plate. 10/10 service. The food!!!! WAS AMAZING!!!! I honestly don't have many nice dinner restaurants that I consider extremely well-rounded but every course of this dinner was so good that we've been planning the next time we'll be back for their regular menu. The new years 3-course dinner was completely worth $110 per person and there were so many good options it was hard to choose. First course: We both got lobster cakes. They were so good. From the butter sauce on the plate, the potato salad underneath the cake, the cake itself, and the crab on top. 10/10. Second course: Grilled filet of beef over mashed potatoes with lobster nuggets and asparagus. This dish was fantastic. I would get this any day. It was the perfect plate. My partner got the lobster tail with clams and fettuccine. The lobster was great and the fettuccine was good to me but he preferred it to be a bit more creamy. Third course: Brown sugar blondie tart with caramel apples and cherry gingersnap cheesecake. They both were so good and flavorful but we were so full at this point. We also got a couple of drinks that were great as well which was a plus. Our whole experience here was great and this has definitely been added to my top places list.

    I've been wanting to come here for quite some time and made reservations for their Monday evening special which includes a three course meal for 28.95! They have a prix fixe menu with several choices. I ordered the Caesar salad, salmon with mashed potatoes and snap peas, and chocolate mousse. I also ordered the French onion soup because I just had to try it. Unbeknownst to me, they also serve a delicious bread basket that include corn bread and a loaf of another bread which was amazing. I was very very impressed with the corn bread. The Caesar salad was okay, and the French onion soup was great. By the time my salmon came out, I was already pretty full so only ate a few bites and had the rest for lunch the next day. Had to save room for the dark chocolate mousse which was a generous size and very filling. The table also had an order of truffle fries which were good and I trie fine peanut butter cake and bread pudding - both EXCELLENT. I couldn't pick a favorite dessert out of the three we had at our table, all excellent in their own ways. I will definitely make it a priority to return for another Monday Mahem!

    94.5 health grade posted the night of our visit. The bar service was great and friendly. The table service was average. The menu offered interesting and unique dishes. Our food was average with orders of Heritage Pork Loin / cranberries; Chicken; and Peppercorn crusted steak. The steak was the most appreciated dish. Our appetizers were good to include dip / won ton chips; spring rolls and a special latke. The desserts were fine with the hot fudge sundae being a disappointment. We are glad we visited but we will likely not return for a while.

    Our evening menu

    Just wow! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding. The ambiance was inviting. I was there with a large party and the restaurant navigated the party with exception. I will be back.

    What a cool spot! Lots to look at here...love the decor! And the menu changes EVERY DAY. Decided to visit for my birthday dinner. It was disappointing to find out they close so early at 9pm (on a Friday!) but glad we got the little time we did here. Food was top notch and so different than what you'd see on a normal American menu. Cocktails were great. Was sad I didn't get any little dessert or celebration of any kind for my birthday dinner but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I could tell wait staff was ready to go home. Lol. Overall, I'd definitely visit again.

I have been to Postino many times before, but this was my first time at the Raleigh location. While it's been 4 years since I've had Postino and the menu has changed a little, the bruschetta board is still a permanent fixture. We ordered a bruschetta board for an appetizer and I ordered the half panini & half salad for my entree. The bruschetta board is a must order because you can get 4 different kinds. The top tier choice is the salami pesto one. It's my absolute favorite. For my panini, I got the caprese one on ciabatta bread and the half of the mixed greens salad. The salad was delicious. This was a ton of food and felt very satisfying. I always love the vibe of Postino's, but this location was way too dark with only a small candle at the table. Service started off good and we were able to order our food without a problem. However, our server was done with his shift right after we ordered so we got a new server. Our new server had no idea we already ordered and was a little behind coming to our table for water refills. Despite that, we were in and out of the restaurant within 45 minutes. Postino is surrounded by other shops and restaurants, so they had a ton of parking available outside the restaurant. Highly recommend this place if you want good food!

What prevents this restaurant from being "S Tier" is that there's nothing unique or exceptional about the restaurant. It is exactly what you'd expect but nothing more. Parking was easy with the parking garage nearby. I would certainly return and recommend to others.

With helpful guidance and knowing our love for anything foodie related, we just started picking one by one after a few sips of our well balanced cocktails (another large menu with anything and everything for fellow cocktail lovers out there). Had to go with a meat and charcuterie board first. A decadent manchego, a creamy French that was smooth and tangy, plus a 20 month cured ham that was salty and smoky. Honestly everything that came out after was a 10/10. From the wild mushrooms, Wagyu carpaccio and bone marrow, to the pork belly, corn bunuelos and steak paillard...everything was cooked to perfection with amazing spices and sauces that complemented each dish perfectly. (See pics and captions for more details) These chefs and mixologists know what they're doing here. 2 managers came by our table to make sure everything was going well.
